"Argh!" Sam yelled as a blinding light engulfed him, he began to rise until he was standing in the air. The crab tried to attack it but each time it makes contact with the blinding light, it would be sent flying away. After many failed attempts, it stopped and watched the human boy in a confused state.
Slowly yet rapidly, the bruises, cuts and gashes all over his body began to close up until there were none left.

"Argh!" Sam yelled, holding his head in pain. The pain was unbearable but at the same time, he felt a tremendous amount of energy surge into his veins. He was yet to understand what is going on when his eyes became heavy and then darkness took over him.

This is impossible!" Arthur exclaimed as he stared at Sam from the shadows.
"What is it, Lord Damon?" The figure that was standing close to him asked as he stared at the demon lord in confusion.
"Damian! I sense his presence around the kid," Arthur replied with his gaze still on Sam
"What? But that is impossible! No one has ever been able to awaken him, not even yo– forgive me my Lord, but this is beyond belief," the figure said in shock.
"If he awakens in the boy, that means..." Arthur refused to believe what would become of the entire demon race if the demon awakens.
Damian is the first Demon to have been created by the Origin and as such he wields the ultimate powers of a true Demon lord.
His existence brought about the beginning of the demon race. A race of demons with different classes and levels, he became their Lord and ruler and ruled over them to the best of his knowledge. But after many centuries of ruling the demons, some began to show rebellious acts and began to go against his orders. Arthur then was only a young demon but he was close to the demon lord — very close to him, he had no idea that he would not live long enough.
The demons who had risen against him planned his death by using the ultimate demon trap formation. A formation created by the demon lord himself to entrap rebellious demons, this trap was able to entrap demons no matter the level or class they were. This was the greatest mistake he ever made that he regretted even in his death — he made the demon trap formation for every demon including himself and so they used it against him.
As if knowing that a day like that would come, he took out his core and gave it to Arthur for safekeeping with a promise that he would be back someday. Many years passed but the someday wasn't forthcoming, not until he found Sam.
Arthur didn't know why but he found the boy to be very interesting and something kept propelling him to give the core to the boy. He kept going against that impulse for long but just as he saw he was about to breathe his last, the eagerness in him to survive and the anger that filled his veins, he had no choice but to give in to the propelling mind. He at the eleventh hour, gave the core to him.
But what he didn't know is that the demon lord would ever awaken again and through a mere human kid at that!
"Let's just watch for now," the figure said and both he and Arthur silently watched Sam.

"Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Friend for a friend, foe for a foe!" Sam's eyes turned blood red when he opened them, a smirk curved upon his lips as he stared at the confused crab. With a wave of his hand, the crab disintegrated in the air, blood spattering around the place and some pouring on him.
"This is how it feels to be powerful, huh?" Sam mumbled out with a chuckle. He looked at his body and touched some parts that he knew had bruises and deep cuts, after touching his body for some time he felt nothing. He grinned from ear to ear in satisfaction and then looked around him, he spotted Garvin's body not far from him then his face saddened.
He began to walk toward Garvin's body, his face darkened as the scene where the boy died flashed in his head. He felt anger surge into his veins, he felt angry for not being able to save him. When he got to the body, he fell to his knees and examined the body, there was a cut that ran deep into his chest, and also a hole that at a glance one could see the heart of Garvin that had stopped beating.
"Sorry, this is my fault for not being able to save you back but if there is the possibility of me bringing you back to life, I'd do it no matter what it will take," Sam said in a heavy tone with his eyes locked on Garvin's cold body.

The system suddenly said to the surprise of Sam whose eyes opened wide. "What could that be? What will be the loss?" he asked abruptly.
<
"A demon?" Sam asked with widened eyes, to think he had already become a demon was something he didn't expect. 'It's no wonder I feel strangely powerful' he thought and grinned.
He became silent for some time as he digested what the system had told him. He said he would do anything to bring Garvin back to life but not to the extent of losing his consciousness, what if he doesn't wake up at the end? What would become of his new gotten powers? All these questions troubled him as he stared at Garvin's body. He had longed wished to become powerful and now that he had gotten them.... would he sacrifice them for someone else?!
"I will do it!" Sam suddenly yelled. He was not going to be selfish, not to the boy who tried to save him even without them knowing themselves. Garvin died because of him so why would he not sacrifice as well? And who said he wouldn't wake up? He was going to fight whatever it is that will make him not wake up.

Sam did as he was told, he placed his hand on Garvin's head and closed his eyes. He directed his mind to the raging energies inside of him and slowly he began to direct them into the boy's body.
While he was doing this, his vision began to get blurry and his eyes were getting heavy, he used his free hand and held his head was seemed to be in pain, he let out a groan yet he didn't take his hand off Garvin's head. Seconds passed, minutes passed and the wounds on the boy's body began to close up, Sam saw this and a faint smile appeared on his face, it was a smile of hope. The wounds had eventually closed up and the body began to get warm which was a sign that Garvin was coming back to life.
But Sam was no longer himself, he had become extremely weak that he was no longer standing on his feet, he was now down on his knees but he persistently kept his hand on Garvin's head, his only wish was for him to live again.
"I don't think I can con–" Sam didn't complete what he wanted to say when he suddenly slumped and laid still on the ground, he turned his gaze on Garvin whose brows unexpectedly twitched and an unknown smile curved on his lips before his eyes finally closed.
