In the middle of the dark forest, a boy was running for his life. Behind him was some type of strange black creature who was giving chase. It was a huge beast, with dark black skin, over his head there were three horns. The most dangerous thing was its huge claws that were slashing anything in his path.
" Dammit, what the hell is this place?" The Boy shouted as he saw the creature still following behind.
Fortunately, the boy was fast, he ran past all the obstacles like a pro. The creature sped up but the boy was making it hard for the creature to follow him as he only ran from the narrow paths where the monster would have a hard time following him.
[ Run towards the temple]
A system screen popped up in front of him but he was not surprised as he had gotten used to it.
" What temple? I don't see anything." He shouted.
However soon he saw a road paved with stones, assuming that this was most probably a way toward the temple that the mysterious system was talking about, he chose to run that way. However, it was dangerous to run on this path as the monster had almost caught up with him and the path was certainly not narrow.
[ Run as if your life depends on it.]
"…Bastard, I am already running because my life is on the line." He spoke and sped up, clearly seeing the beast running behind him.
Suddenly a bridge appeared in his sight, and at the end of that bridge, he could see a temple-like structure. Everything was made out of obsidian color rock, and it felt like he was running right into the darkness or some evil place but what choice did he have? He has to find a safe place and if the temple can protect him then he would gladly risk it.
The beast also jumped on the bridge, now there was only a hundred-meter distance between them. The boy still had to cross half of the bridge, but despite the situation being hopeless he ran with all his might.
80 meters, 70 meters... 30 meter
The beast was right behind him, ready to end his life as soon as he was within range.
[ You are almost there.]
He maxed out his running speed drawing whatever strength he had left in his body the boy gave it his all but the beast had caught up and was about to slash. His life flashed before his eyes, he knew he would be dead if the beast someone manages to land a strike.
But Just before it slashed, the boy felt that he walked past some barrier. Suddenly he misstepped on one of the rocks and fell on his face.
Huff Huff
'…I am dead.' He thought while gasping for air and didn't even dare to look back, he was sure that any second his life would end when the beast will its claws slice him into multiple pieces.
However, after a few seconds, nothing happened and he turned to look behind him. The monster was still at the corner of the bridge and was slashing his large claw at the invisible barrier. Jin was safe, the monster wasn't able to enter inside the barrier.
[ Congratulations, you have arrived at the temple.]
" He can't enter?" He questioned.
[ There is a barrier protecting the heritage of this temple so yeah, he cannot.]
The boy felt relieved as he finally sat down, and looked at the beast. Its bony claws could rip him apart with one strike, he was proud of himself that he survived such a thing.
" Thank you."
[ You are welcome.]
" Anyway, whose temple is this?"
[ It is the Demon God's temple.]
" I am sorry, whose temple?"
[ The Demon–]
" I am dead…" The boy spoke as suddenly fear struck him and he fainted because of exhaustion.

After suddenly being teleported inside a dangerous forest filled with weird animals and monsters, Jin faced many life-and-death situations.
During this time he started to see a system window in front of him that helped him to survive by telling him more about the forest. Thanks to it, he was able to avoid most of the dangers but also because of it, he was in this terrible situation.
Jin was currently inside a place that the system called Demon God's Temple. As far as he knew, demons are beings who hate humans and even…eat them.
[ You have to go inside the Temple.]
" You tricked me." He screamed.
[ No, I didn't.] The system replied in a monotonous tone of voice [ To survive in this world, you need power which can only be granted by a god.]
" I will now only listen to you if you tell me, who are you? and why and how am I in another world?" Jin demanded, he knew that at the moment he could only rely on the system.
[ Fine.]
[ I am a guide assigned to you, I am a creation of God of Time & Space.]
[ The World you are currently in is the world created for gods to strengthen their divinity.]
" Gods? I don't understand the complicated stuff. Why am I here? How can I return to my world?"
[ You can't return home.]
" What?" Jin screamed.
[ It is what it is, no one can defy the will of a god.]
After a series of frustrating answers from the system, Jin finally stopped. The system or the guide was not telling him everything about his current situation and he knew that he has been tricked.
[...The Demon God will make you his follower and give you his power.]
" But, why a demon god? isn't he evil?"
[ Yes, He is an Evil god.]
" I don't want to become the follower of an evil god." Jin cried.
[ All the other gods have already chosen other transmigrators and the demon god is the only one left to choose one.]
" When?"
[ Five years ago.]
" If you were going to summon me then why did you summon me so late?"
[…That's your bad luck.]
" Damn it, what if I decline?"
[ You have no other option.]
