"I congratulate you for being able to make it this far," the Demon King praised the Hero and his party who are at end of the stairs outside his castle. His cold red eyes looked down at the hero.

'This is the Demon King Lucifer? He is so small' Many in the Hero's party thought looking at the Demon King's 5'3ft profile, his voice is even soft, not masculine at all. If not for his red eyes, they would have thought the demon king decided to bail from the battle.

"Demon King Lucifer." Aiden, the hero, said. His voice laced with hatred. The demon king is just as they say—cold red eyes behind a black mask with short white hair. Legend says that the demon king, Lucifer, is so ugly he couldn't stand to look at his face, so he always covered it with a mask.

Even though the demon king is ugly, his outfit sure isn't. Wearing a shirt under a black jacket with gold trims around the seams, with black pants and a pair of knee-highs. To complete it all, a long black cape. Although the cape seems to be a bit too long.

The hero's golden eyes glared at the demon king. With his golden hair and amour. One could tell that he is a child chosen by the gods.

Lucifer smiles behind his mask and disappears in the blink of an eye and appears a few centimeters in front of Aiden. "Unfortunately, your journey ends he--"

He was about to attack Aiden but then something unexpected happens. The great and mighty demon king slips on his cape. Just as he is about to attack the hero.

Aiden takes a few steps back and puts his holy sword in front of the Demon King. It pierces his core and drops dead.

Aiden knows killing him isn't enough because Lucifer can transmigrate into another body, so he and a few others created a spell to seal Lucifer's magic and imprison him in the dark dimension for the rest of eternity.

'Thousands of years later.'

The dark dimension is a place filled with pure darkness and a prison for gods. This prison was created by the former demon king, who was known as the entity of darkness. Unfortunately, no one has ever been to the dark dimension except Lucifer.

So why is there a beautiful boy standing in the dark void? Well, this beautiful boy is the Demon King Lucifer. "Foolish Hero, did he think that those chains would keep my soul down forever. I've already obtained a small fraction of my power. Enough to break out of this prison, but not enough to recreate my former body," he said crushing the chains in his hand.

"But once I've obtained full power, the first thing I'll do is..." he said frowning a bit then clenching his fist with tears welling up in his eyes. "Stop me from wearing that cape!" he screamed

"I should have listened to that weird maid. She warned me not to wear that cape but I still did, damn you old me!" he cried. Once he was done with his tantrum, he regained his composure. "Now is not the time to mope. Even though I cannot recreate a new body, I can still possess one that is slightly identical to mine."

He stopped talking and a black aura began to surround his soul and he concentrated his powers on his surroundings. Soon the dark dimension began to crack. And soon he was free from dreadful prison.

Immediately after Lucifer broke out of the dark dimension, earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms occurred in a particular region, around Europe and the Mediterranean, on the planet Earth, which was now a vacation planet in the Baluvian Empire. The human population increased drastically. Astronomers, astrologers, and many other scientists found suitable planets for life in space and were able to build the first spacecraft to travel outside the Milkyway galaxy. Now humans are living in different galaxies and since Earth is the mother planet it was a place for tourism and vacation.

When earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms suddenly happened in this region, scientists were confused as to why these disasters would suddenly happen in this region, since their tech is far more advanced they would be able to find a shift in the tectonic plates well ahead of time. Fortunately, there were a few tourists on the planet, although a few died and some were gravely injured.

Luckily for Lucifer, a body that was eighty percent similar to his was found. The person even looked like his old self. Was he cloned? But the thing is the owner of the body was still alive but was gravely injured by the natural disaster, and unconscious.

So he entered the original owner's mindscape where he met with the soul of the original owner.

The original soul was hostile at first until Lucifer decided to strike a deal with him. To give him the body and memories, he will fulfill any request the soul had to offer. The soul reluctantly agreed.

His request was to have revenge on the ones who wronged him.

Lucifer promised to destroy all of the original owner's enemies.

Before the soul retired, Lucifer got the original owner's memories like a movie and felt a sense of familiarity. This soul reminds him of his past self when he was young and naïve, easily fooled by others, and believed in the term 'trust and love' only to be betrayed over and over again.

The original owner's name is Phoenix, a child of one of the biggest businessmen in the empire. Just turned seventeen, he was engaged to a general's son who was also his childhood friend. But when his secondary gender came out as a beta at the age of twelve, that was when things went south. His fiancé broke off the engagement because of his gender and instead got engaged to his best friend because they were compatible by seventy-five percent.

His parents who once pampered him no longer did so and he was sent out of the house to live alone at the age of thirteen. That was until his parents brought him back home. The second prince despises omegas and couldn't stand them, so his parent took this opportunity to mention him to the king, fortunately, they had a compatibility of ninety percent. The highest in history, especially between an elite, a race rarer than an omega, and a beta.

Right now he was supposed to meet the prince on this planet but unfortunately, disaster struck before they could meet.

The original soul faded and Lucifer immediately took control of the body

Meanwhile in the physical realm.

Phoenix was saved by the empire's emergency rescue team. His injuries were severe and his life was hanging on a thin thread. He was plugged into a special device to save his life. Before they got to the hospital a strange phenomenon happened. A part of Phoenix's hair turned white, a very small portion in the front.

The EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) with him was surprised. Not long ago his hair was completely black, then a small portion of his hair suddenly turned white.

Lucifer, who is now occupying Phoenix's body sat up and saw the person standing in the room. The first aider didn't see that Phoenix had woken up and was about to call for some assistance.

Lucifer, now Phoenix, smiled. He lies down and fakes a groan as he slowly sat up. The EMT hears his groan and quickly rushed to him. His eyes had a light shade of red under the natural color of the green eye.

"Huh? Huh? Who are you? What's going on? I was meant to meet someone then all of a sudden the ground started shaking, and, and, and..." Phoenix said with a panicked voice and his breathing was getting quicker.

"Please calm down sir, you are okay now. There is no danger," the EMT said with a shaky voice, he sounds nervous. "Breath in and out slowly," he said. Phoenix obeyed the instruction given to him and began to take slow breaths, although it almost seems like he was also comforting himself.

"Are you alright?" the EMT asked nervously. Phoenix looks at the boy in front of him, he has pink and blue eyes which complement his soft features.

"No! How can I be alright when my head feels like a fair. I can barely think!" he shouted, then he looks at the EMT's terrified look. The first aider in front of him looks timid and a bit young. He looks like someone he used to know, but he can't pinpoint who. "Sorry." he apologized.

The EMT was surprised to hear his apology. "It's alright," he said.

"How old are you? You look very young." Phoenix asked.

"I-I'm seventeen," he replies a bit shaky. Why would a noble suddenly ask such questions? Is he going to get in trouble? He needs this internship.

"Really, what's your name?"

"R-R-R-" the first aider was stammering, then the door opened. "Roger!"

The first aider, Roger, screamed making the person who called him also scream.

"For the sake of all things unholy" Phoenix murmured and closed his ear to block out the noise.

"God, you scared me, Philip!" Roger shouted.

"I scared you?! You scared me!" Philip, a boy with dark blue hair, dark skin, and a sturdy body, shouted back at him.

"Please can you two shut up?! You are giving me an even worse headache!" Phoenix also shouted. His head was pounding from a head injury he had from the calamity

They had both forgotten there was a patient in the room. Roger nervously scratched his hair and apologized. As well as Philip.

"Why are you here Philip?" Roger asked.

"You called," Philip replied. "So I was sent here to assist you. So what's the emergency."

"Oh, um." Roger looks at Phoenix, before remembering why he had called for some assistance. "Is it normal for a person's hair to suddenly change from black to white?" he asked. Phoenix looked a bit confused and pulled a section of his hair in the front. It was white. He pulled another section, it was black.

"Can I get a mirror?" he asked. He managed to mask the excitement in his heart. If a part of his hair is turned white. Then he must have unlocked more power than he had originally thought.

A mirror was reluctantly brought to him and when he looks at his reflection and sees a small portion of his hair is white, the original color of his hair. He also sees a shade of red in his green eyes.

He has a lot more power than he had originally thought. He could have even created another body without trying to negotiate with the owner of this body and pretending to be a human to have revenge on the owner's family. But it's too late and he can't turn back time, yet.

"Wow, my hair truly did turn white. How amusing," he murmured, the other two didn't hear him though. "Is something going to happen to me?" he asked in fear.

"We are not sure, but we will soon get to the capital, there you would get a treatment," Philip replied.

Now some of you must be thinking. Why did a part of his hair turn white?

Well, the answer is simple. When he escaped from the dark dimension and his breaking out caused calamities around Europe and there were a lot of negative emotions around the world which he subconsciously absorbed.

And since demons got their power from absorbing negative emotions, he naturally got more power which caused a part of Phoenix's original hair color to turn white and streaks of red to appear on his eyes.

Philip and Roger soon left Phoenix alone to rest since he was still an injured patient. Once they left. Phoenix got out of his pod. "Da!" he shouted scratching his head. "Why didn't I think of this. I could have recreated another body. Now I owe some human soul... But this might be good. This era and the humans have created technology way beyond my imagination." he said. "They even managed to leave Earth to explore other galaxies... And it also seems like humans have managed to harness soul energy and have forgotten how to use magic..."

He lies down back in his pod. "...How interesting," he said with a smile before closing his eyes to sleep. There's still a lot of negative energy that needs to be absorbed.
