Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The start

Kol walks to his office like his usual day. He had baggy eyes as he didn't get enough sleep from last night.

Kol took a seat in his chair and began typing on his computer. He worked like any other day until suddenly, a portal appeared behind him.

Before Kol could even react, he got sucked into the mysterious portal. 

A wave of nausea fell onto his mind as he tried to keep his eyes awake.

After spending some time inside the portal, he finally opened his eyes and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

'What the hell is this...' Kol closed his mouth with his hands because he was now in the demon realm.

The sky is completely dark with no light coming through yet there is one blood red moon.

The trees around him were dark. Kol tried to stand up until he noticed one of the branches start to move.

The branches that move as if it was alive grab Kol's legs.

"Ugh stop!" Kol shouted to the tree but the tree didn't listen. Kol grabbed the branches and tried to shake them off his feet.

'Why is it so hard just to get it off my feet?' Kol thought as he pulled with all of his strength and finally shook the tree branches off him.

He takes a step back and looks at the tree cautiously. Then something appeared in his eyes.

[You have been transported to the demon realm]

Kol couldn't believe what he was seeing right now.

[Calculating...]

[Player01 is found. The player will be registered in the system... Please insert your name]

Kol stared at the thing in front of his eyes. He then saw the branches move again and dodge to the right.

The branches almost hit him and he started at the screen again.

"Kol" Kol said to the system and cautiously stared at the tree for any sudden movement.

[Registering... Kol is now registered as a player in the system. Please choose your alignment.]

[Good / Evil]

Kol thought for a moment to choose which one he would choose.

In his whole life, he never done any good things other than helping his friend.

"I'm sick of being a good guy. I work every single until I'm tired and I even help my friends yet when I tried asking for help, they never help me." Kol grits his teeth in anger and he grips his hand into a fist until it turns white.

[Choosing... Player Kol has chosen the evil alignment. Player Kol now will earn points for doing evil deeds that can be used for stats points, shop points, and many other things.]

"This isn't too bad but where am I right now? I know this is the demon realm... Wait" Kol's face starts to darken

"Let me check this system for now..." When Kol said the magic word system, a popup window appeared.

"I'm not expecting much anyways" Kol rolled his eyes as he walked the opposite way from the black tree.

Kol continued to walk until he found an abandoned house.

"Guess I'll use this house then. I won't expect much but it's better than sleeping outside" Kol shrugged and entered the house.

Kol noticed the door was still intact and there was a well outside the house he could use.

"Ah, I'm hungry..." Kol stomach grumbles and he forces his stomach to calm down.

Kol went outside the abandoned house to find food.

He then found a dark fur rabbit with a one-pointy horn on its head. Kol tried to sneak up on the rabbit but the rabbit eyes caught him before he could try to catch it.

For the next two days, Kol suffered from hunger because he couldn't get food and there weren't any fruits around the house.

Eventually, he checked out the room upstairs and saw a refrigerator still working. When he opened it, he found fresh meat.

Kolw is happy and he happily starts a small fire inside the house and cooks the meat.

For the longest time in his life, he was so happy to eat meat and took a bite of it.

After suffering from two days of hunger, Kol's face was full of joy until his face got darkened.

[You ate a piece of demon meat (1/10). You get a 0.5 increase in strength.]

Kol looks at the meat in his hands. He was eating the body of a demon this whole time.

"Ah, my mouth feels weird.." Kol couldn't stop his hunger so he continued to eat the meat although he gained a stat increase.

"This is for survival... I need to survive." Kol made an excuse she continued to eat the meat.

After he was done, he stood up and went outside again but this time, there was a sound of footsteps.

Kol turned around and saw a deer with 4 eyes. The deer stared at him and slowly walked toward him.

Kol didn't move and looked at the deer slowly. The deer's eyes start moving and turn black as it screams.

Kol immediately moved to kick the deer's head with his left leg and the deer fell to the ground.

Kol then punched the deer's head a few times and then grabbed one of its eyes.

Kol pulled the eyes out as it screamed louder. The deer was surprisingly weak but many sounds of footsteps were coming toward Kowasis.

[You have killed ???. Player Kol gets 10 points of evil points.] Kol quickly ran to the abandoned house again and hid inside the kitchen.

He looked at the evil points and tried putting ten points in strength.

[--Stats--]

Strength: 7.5 >7.6

Speed: 9

Intelligence: 14

Endurance: 10

"It didn't increase much anyway but is this what it feels like to take a life?..." Kol slowly smiled as he remembered the feeling of pulling the eyes.

Kol then slaps his face and returns to reality.

"I should stop thinking like that..." Kol then lay down on the hard cold ground and slept for the third time in this demon realm.

Kol looked at the ceiling for a long time and thought to himself 'Ah... I want to meet my family and my friends... I miss them'

Kol then clenched his fast hard and determined to return to his old world.

Kol then finally was able to get a deep sleep with a smile.
