Kojo woke up with a start. He saw the world was upside down .
" Why is the sky down?" He mummered.He then came back to his senses and released and released an Omni directional airwave to break his fall. Landing on a ledge. He remembered the dragon spewing fire. A rock fell from the top of the mountain. Kojo instinctively punched it driving his fist into the mountain and causing it to shake from the shockwave.
( Could you try to not randomly punch stuff)
" Sorry. " he said wondering what that vision was about.
( I saw it too)
" But what could it mean?"
The mountain started to tremble and began breaking apart.
" Crap"
( See you life)
" I've got this " He said just as the ground above him gave way. He was still a long way from the ground.He used his reflexes to hop from one rock to another finally jumping out of range and landing some distance away.
" And he sticks the landing"
( Great job. You just destroyed a mountain)
" It's a little taller than a large hill"
( A mountains a mountain)
" Think anyone'll notice?"
( Your such an idiot. Of course someone will notice)
He saw a deer looking at him.
"Ok so I think I'll just go" he said slowly backing away
" Where have you been?" Lin said meeting him the moment he entered their room. It was afternoon by the time he'd returned
"Uh I went to do some early morning training"Kojo replied.
" So it was you who caused that tremor" She said
" What tremor?"
" Someone released a massive amount of Arcana a few miles away"Koniko said.
" And what shows it was me?"
" Don't try to hide it Kojo" Sharone said" We've been together long eny to know your aura.Koniko.and Lin nodded
" Fine it was me,just don't tell anyone" Kojo said walking over to take some food on the table.
" Anyway why didn't you wake us up?" Lin whined.
" More importantly ,how didn't you wake us up. It's like you just vanished from the room"Sharone said folding her arms
"Well" Kojo scratched his chin. He'd used sleeping gas on them while they were asleep then surpressed his aura to sneak out of the room.
( If they find out you can do that your so dead)
Kojo smiled innocently at Sharone.then took a bite of bread.
" If I was a bad person think of the to things I could do" Th thought imagining using it to make the girls drowsy and...
( Pervert)
He swallowed the bread.
"I didn't want to disturb you guys" Kojo said." So,how'd you guys spend your morning?"
" Well we got poisoned by Sharone "Lin said casually.
" wait what" Kojo said in surprise
" It wasn't poison"Said Sharone embarrassed.
"Yeah she tried making that thing you made with the ingredients we got last time. What was it again? Current?"Koniko said thoughtfully
" Oh you mean curry." Kojo said " So how'd it go?" He asked. He then noticed that there was a metal pot with chains around it giving off a death aura.
" You know what forget it I don't wanna know"
Sharone squated sulking in the corner of the room.
" Well I'm sure it wasn't all bad" Kojo said trying to cheer her up.
"It was anything but that. It was more like a witch whis brew of poison gone bad"Lin said in his ear.
"It totally was not" Sharone yelled back,her face red.
" Yeah I'd rather have the brew than hear Sharone's boiling water" Lin said. Her words pierced through Sharone and she collapsed.
" Hey you guys should stop arguing " Koniko said. The two of them then stared an argument about who would be a better cook with Koniko trying to mediate.Kojo was about to say something but then decided to ignore and lay back on the bed. He thought about the vision he had.
" This ring" The wondered
( We can't be certain that it's the cause but it diwas seem to posses sentience. Anytime I try to probe into it however it shuts me out. All I could get was a message)
" Message?"
( The sky of black will disappear. Dawn will break to herald the end of all things . The time has come for lementation and despair.
The Crymson Dawn is upon us)
" That's disturbing"
( I know right. While we were in that vision. I tried to find the source of interference and git pulled into the ring. That's what she told me)
" She?"
( I don't remember that well but I remember seeing someone who kept on repeating the prophecy of doom.)
"That's not fair" Kojo whined rolling in the bed and startling the others.
" How come I come to another world with hit babes and cool powers just when it's about to end." A voice spoke in his head.
You can change the fate of this world Atari Kojo.
" Sysia?"
Connection Established
(That's not me)
You can save them. All of them
"Who are you"Kojo sat up suddenly and looked at the ring. The rune was glowing
Stop the the Dawn from breaking. That's all I can tell you right now.
The rings light began to fade
Connection Lost
"Are you ok" the girls looked at Kojo with concern
" Yeah." he looked at the ring again.
" What can any of you tell me about the Crymson Dawn?"
The room fell silent and they stared at him.
" You don't know" Sharone asked. Kojo shook his head.
" I'm not from around here" He said.They came to sit with him on the bed.
" But it's still surprising because every being in this world knows about the legend" Koniko said.
" Yeah ,right from this world" Kojo's said under his breath looking away.
".Well the Crymson Dawn is a cataclysmic event that occured eons ago" Sharone said.
" It was so destructive that it led to the total collapse of the previous universes and with enough residual energy to make this existence as an after effect" Lin said
" I don't understand?" Kojo said.
" But I'm surprised the concept of the universe exists hers" He thought
( Agreed)
" Ok let me tell you the full story" Koniko said
" We don't know how the universe was formed or how many there have been before this one but there has always been a firm of existence.A universe would be born then expand up to a point before snapping and giving rise to another universe."
" The previous universe would still remain but as a lower existence as compared to the new one." Lin said.
" There were two beings in charge of maintaining the balance . Thier names have been lost but they are known as the
Sovereign and the Demongod" Sharone said.
" Each if them working together put existence in The state of Libra ,the perfect balance between chaos and order " Lin added.
" But one if them wanted to dominate Libra while the other wanted peace "Koniko said.
" I'm guessing the Demongod's the bad guy" Kojo asked.
" Well we can't say for sure. A lot of people have already twisted the true events so we can't say for sure .Some people like the Churchs Faithful believe the Sovereign was the good one. While others like the Maajin believe it was the demon god "Sharone said.
" Wait there's a church?" Kojo wondered.
( The church of Undying light has long since propagated the gospel encouraging people to worship the Dietes as the true offspring if Sovereign. The Maajin are a race if defective beings with a strong attracting to the dark side)
" Yeah sounds about right. Even their name means.demon.in native japanese "
" At the end of the conflict the two Beings destroyed themselves. However,the result if The energy they released during their battle led to the birth if this universe. We the beings if this existence could manipulate the energy that constituted the universe, Arcana,and perform feats known as Magic"Koniko said making a small flame in her palm.
"That's not the end" Lin said." Two new beings were born;
The Deities and Demon Lords. To sum it up you don't wanna mess with them"
Kojo thought about what the said before lying back in the bed.
" Thus worlds more compliu than I thought"
( The Demongod divided his soul into twelve fragments. These Dark souls Are what give the demon lord's power. I think the first step at saving this world is defeating a demon lord and stealing his power)
"How'd you know?"
(She told me just now)
Kojo raised his hand and looked at the ring.
"Why should I risk my life on a suicide quest?"
(Well isn't it every reincarnated person's dream to be a demon lord?)
"Personally I think that's one fat assed cliché. But I've got nothing better to do"
The girls then lay on the bed around him him
"Haah?!"
"You don't seem to be fine"Sharone said concerned.
"Did you use up too much energy" Lin said
" Is there anything we can do?" Koniko asked.
" I'm fine" Kojo said trying to get off the bed but ending up pulling them on him on the floor.
"I'm not gonna be able to get outta rhes one" He thought feeling Thier bodies pressinf against his
( stop whining and go with the flow)
