"If I die before saving your world,then don't blame me. In factā¦this was never my world in the first placeā¦So I won't regret it.'' Fex Ngugi said softly,not minding the shocked villagers around him.
They were in a dark swamp, filled with scarcely grown black dead trees all over. The water covering the ground was mysteriously black,with a dark smog moving in the air.
"Are those really your last words, hero?"A swamp demon mocked him,with a grin across its horrible face. It had the shape of a human's body,but wasn't human by any chance.
The whole of its skin was shiny pink,with red glowing patterns that look like numerous cracks on its arms. Its eyes were glowing bright red with no white in their balls that are normally present on a human's eyes. They were completely red.
"I would say that am actually impressed by your strength,"it said,"But just like many others,you end up falling when going up against me."
Fex was down on one knee,his face,that was covered by his spiky white hair,looking down at the black water that covered his boots up to the ankles.
Blood flowed slowly from his forehead,down the left side of his face, accumulating on his chin,then dropping into the black water continuously in a rythm that synced with his hear beats.
Whenever his blood would drop and mix with the thick black water,the black liquid would ripple tremendously as if it was alive and consuming Fex's blood.
*ding*
A usual ding sound rang in his head,and a blue translucent screen appeared in front of Fex's face. The others couldn't see it,only Fex could see it, because it was somehow connected with his mind.

The swamp demon stood above him,its right hand gripping Fex's spiky white hair. It laughed.
"Why would a strong individual like you be living with these weak brats instead of joining us?" It asked.
Fex did not reply immediately. His heart was too cold to care about anything,not even anyone. So why would he care how he was going to live his life?
No one should tell him what to do.
He was pulled into this world unwillingly,and he didn't like it at all.
Numerous bloody human bodies were everywhere, badly damaged. Only a few of the villagers, about ten,were still alive. Witnessing the fate of a man who was about to save their lives but was overpowered.
Who knows what got into himā¦
Fex tightly shut his eyes grunting. Tears forming below his shut eyes.
"F*ck all this!"He screamed at the top of his lungs,still on the same pose.
"I never wanted to be a damn hero! F*ck you all and your world. Who said this is a fantasy world so that you could decide about who am gonna f*cking be,Huh?!"
"Am not like the others who get pulled to a different world and become heroes, damnit, it's not and was never my f**king responsibility!?"
The swamp demon and the villagers were stunned,that the grip that the demon had on Fex's hair almost loosened.
"...I don't care what happened to you. All that matters is that you tried to stand on my way!" The demon yelled, shifting into a stance,and gathered its energy to its left leg. The whole of the leg glowed bright red, causing the black water to ripple tremendously and rising into the air.
In a flash,a loud bang came off,all the black water around the two was pushed away, revealing the brown ground.
The kick had landed straight on Fex's face with a mighty force,that sent him flying back. The demon had not let go of his hair, causing a whole bunch of it to rip out of his head in the course.
Bang. Fex's body slammed on a tree a long distance from where the demon stood,then fell in the black water with his front side getting the whole of his face submerged inside.
A bright red aura trail floated still in the air lengthening from where the demon stood to where Fex had been thrown to like a line. The black water that was pushed far from where the demon was, slowly recollected itself back, covering its feet with the black droplets that floated in the air slowly falling back down as if it was snowing.
That was the strength of a rank E swamp demon.
Fex wasn't moving,his heart rate was slowing down, flashes of his past life filling his mind.
On his original world,he lived a simple life with no stress at all. Watching anime and reading manga all day and eating. Food and money were never a problem to him. He lived with a certain girl,his beautiful girlfriend,the same age as him,17,whom he never had a chance to say goodbye to.
She was such a goddess of beauty.
It happened when he was aimlessly walking in the street and an idiot drunk driver hit him with his truck. When Fex opened his eyes,he found himself in this very swamp.
The transmigration had happened not long ago and he has been here for a week now.
Also when waking up that day,a screen had popped in front of his eyes stating that he had successfully received a slayer system,and showing his body state and strength.
When he saw how the people in this place lived,demons attacking day and night,he decided to do something. But that something,has led him here.
'Why,'he thought, believing that this was his last minute,'Why does destiny have to choose for someone's life?'
'I never wanted to come to this world,but this fucking destiny,am screwed up. This is complete shit,no one,not even anything will decide how my life will be for me!'
'One way or the other,I must return back home and stay with Layla!'
Gripping both fists tightly,he pushed himself up screaming out loud with bursting blue energy,his brown eyes glowed blue.
Another system screen popped in front of him as he stood up like a zombie.
