In a closed space a young with hair as black as night and eyes as red as blood, to describe him in one word handsome and beside him a vague shadow constantly changing from physical to intangible form though it as eye socket but no eye.
So who is he ?
He is the bastard son of the king a son who is known for being an idiot with a childlike brain, he was sent so the king could save face and kept his existence a secret .
**present time**
"So what now shadow."
"We have to balance your personalities if you have noticed it not stable."
"Mmmm true now comes another problem."
"What problem."
"My name I need another name."
The shadow then replied
"How about Jonas."
After half an hour of delineating he finally chose a name .
Xavanovich, Azael xavanovich chose that."
"Not bad, But we have to set out."
Azael turned towards the open path with a solemn gaze
" it gonna take a while before we revive the daemon clan *sigh* one day will come back."
"Yes we will." The shadow said.
Azael went into a corner to stabilize his foundation .
**few hours later**
He stood up and stood in front of the cave entrance;
"Can she sense me."
Shadow probably closed his eye since I can't see his socket
"No but we have to move fast since if we don't get your personalities fixed you start leaking miasma."
Azael closed his eye pondering over something he then looked at shadow.
"I can't access this body memory for some reason."
Shadow looked over giving tian a questioning gaze "oh that why when you are done with the assimilation you have access to his memory; but first sit you need to know something."
He proceeded to sit down on a rock
"Am listening go on."
"This world is a massive world under the thousand tier temple, as you might that body is the body or the future demon king if you will so that makes it the perfect vessel."
" I know that."
" Ohh wasn't talking to you. "
"Then who are you speaking too."
" you know what just continue."
" now this world have what you call heroes in different format."
(Sorry for the info dump it is important for the plot )
" we have the heavenly child, the equipped hero, the bloodline hero and the haste."
Azael looked quizzically " Sorry I don't get what his the difference between the heroes. "
Shadow replied with an as expected look
" the heavenly child are basically people with monstrous amount of talent and comprehension speed enormous amount of luck bestowed by the heaven.
Now, the equipped hero is basically some one who have the ability to draw holy weapon like sword of xcalibre, the blade of chronic , spear of Gilgamesh (gungumir) and finally shield of hope(salvereth).
The bloodline is someone born from the long line of heroes and have the ability to draw heaven's power.
And finally the haste now this are what you will call backup heroes made incase of you know the other's fail they are the most dangerous since they are mostly stronger than the others but unless awakened they never know they heroes and their goal is to kill the demon king which is you so capich."
Azael closed his eyes to absorb all the information with his eyes still closed he said
"Do am living on borrowed times uh."
"Yeah that we need to set out."
" Let go."
He left the cave and starte
"Do you know where we are going tian."
"North." He replied
"Nope west."
"Of course I knew that."
So they continued going west passing through small town after 3 days they got to a path that involve them going through the forest.
Shadow looked at the forest with eagerness and said " we go through the forest and it will save us a 2 day journey."
"No hell freaking no"
Azael said while stepping back.
" But we have to pass through the forest if we want to get there on time."
Azael turned and looked at him with a profound look on his face " if we enter the woods now we will encounter a caravan for no freaking reason I mean why will a caravan be here , they will be under save them then for some weird ass reason only one person will be alive which is of course the girl."
" I don't see how that is bad." Shadow said confusedly .
"We will in the end travel the same path and go through dangers together and will fall in love and then boom! It turns out she is the daughter of either the king or a very prestigious family or she is the heroine or the hero child my point it too early for that plot so forest bad."
"You do have a point so we can go round the forest and cut through the valley."
"Okay let do that."
On during the journey Shadow couldn't help but ask " what later happen if it turn out that way."
"Mmm if she the heroine we end up facing each other dying a romantic death, but if she the hero child we go against heaven and love each other."
After walking for hours it was nighttime so they setup camp .
"We have no camping material do we?"
He asked Shadow to which he replied
"Nope none at all."
He found a rather thick branch to sleep in.
In to the night " azael what will happen if she was the king child."
"If it happens like that we be separated then 356 chapter later after proving my worth and going through endless trials we will reunite when I have like 3 women around me so not worth it."
After azael slept Shadow kept on pondering ' if what master said his true then is love truly with it, I hope he doesn't go through that pain again.'
"azael ,azeal."
" AZAEL"
" AZAEL wake up you piece of shit."
Slowly opening my eyes to see my self wrapped around a really really huge snake.
"Wow it huge."
I exclaimed in surprise.
(Sorry I will be switching to MC point of view not narrator you can tell me which you prefer in the comment)
"We have to get out of here or will squished to death."
"Death by snu snu"
'never thought I'll die like this '
I turn to face Shadow who was still mouthing something.
"Devouring phyique use your devouring power azael."
'yeah how could I have forgotten'
I channelled my aether and kept on using my physique to devour the energy in the snake .
Gritting my teeth I realised it not enough am about to die I need more strength.
'i can't die not now no no no.'
"Ultimate devourer!!!" I screamed channelling even more power into my physique my mouth expanded and like a black hole I swallowed the snake; the energy is too much.
"Sire,sire"
Without much choice I blacked out .
I slowly opened my to my surprise am still alive .
"Sire you are fine."
"Shadow wha da ??"
Shadow is different he looks more like a chibi version of a cute dragon with purple scale and a short horn on his head with a wings behind his back and tail that his too big for his body.
"My life force his connected to you so when you couldn't absorb the energy it was transferred to me."
"Ooooooh."
We continue on our journey living that behind us after a few days we finally got to the valley and.....
In front of us is a caravan under attack from bandits.
"Really...
