"Hey did you hear?" A guy said.
"Hear what?" His friend asked
"The newest hot topic in the entire realm!" Responded person A
"What? Okay what is it this time?" Person B asked skeptically.
"Okay so get this, there is this person right." Person A began.
"Okay. If it's just one person then is it a noble or something?" Person B guessed.
"That's the thing. It's an undocumented person." Person A revealed excitedly.
"What could possibly get them the attention of the realm? Are they super powerful?" Person B asked with worry. The last thing this world needs is another powerful person.
"No one knows. But one thing we do know is that every time they show up a weird building sprouts up and all who go in come out stronger. They even say you gain a system like those Otherworlders but dumbed down." Person A recalled with a bright smile.
"Wow. That could be dangerous. What about a monster outbreak like those otherworlder stories?" Person B questioned.
"Two monster outbreaks have happened in total but it is an enormous opportunity for adventurers! Because the dungeons appear same time that person does people started calling them the Wandering Dungeon Master! Or Wandering DM for short." Person A explained.
BANG*
Everyone looked at in the direction of the noise. A table full of food was slammed to the floor and split in half leaving a mess on the floor. a beautiful looking woman with shoulder length black hair and eyes with black sclera and red irises sat there with face that couldn't be anything but cold, like a cold beauty. She wore a black hoodie and sweatpants and a black cloak with ghostly human and animal figures reaching towards the sky as they climb over each other from the bottom.
"I guess another girl will be taken today. Hah, such a cruel world." The receptionist of the tavern said with pity in her eyes. She didn't even try to help for everyone knew never to mess with The Boar.
"You brat! How dare you defy ME! I am the A Rank Adventurer The Boar! You defy me then get impaled!" Yelled the Boar.
"Boss. We ran out of women yesterday and just look at her. It would be a waste to not use it first right?" Said one of his minions. They even had the gall to refer to her as an object. A mistake they will regret for as long a their souls remain intact.
"Yeah. Your right Fleet. It's your lucky day brat. You get to please us till we're satisfied." The Boar said. The girl looked him up and down and started to smile. A very cruel smile.
"Your right. It is my lucky day." The girl looked up at him with an aura that made him subconsciously block with his enormous axe.
"Oh ho. Even though I was just testing you I didn't think you would actually be able to block it! You are even more than I asked for!" She got up and looked at him with a smile as if she just won an award. "You are perfect for my next Dungeon Boss. It just so happens I need a human to make my next dungeon!"
Everyone looked at her with fear. They realized who she was the moment she said that. Everyone there were adventurers and merchants so they were quite witty. "DM Megami Harushima." Person A blurted out.
"DM? Is that what they're calling me nowadays? It's been 3 years since I was abandoned and this is what I am now called? I thought they would stick with the Calamity nickname." She complained to no one in particular.
"Calamity... Wait. It makes sense. Only a Calamity could make something so mysterious and otherworldly." Person B realized.
"But there are only 5 Calamities out of 13 right?" Person A questioned as he had never heard of a Calamity that created instead of destroyed.
"Yes. The first Calamity that appeared is the Demon King: the Calamity of Sins and Virtues, then there is the Calamity of Space: Moon Split, The Calamity of Change: Shade, The Calamity of the Desert: Yuki . She doesn't match any of them." Person B explained.
"There is 6 Calamities aren't there? I thought there was another on right?" The receptionist butted in.
"Your right! I always forgot that one. They haven't done anything nor been seen. The Former Hero that turned into a Calamity, The Calamity of the Forsaken: Mahou!" Person B remembered.
"Damd You know a lot. You even know of my children's names." Megami was surprised by his knowledge.
"Thanks. I'm quite proud of my knowledge." Person B said bashfully
"I'd really like to have a conversation with you but as you can see I am a little busy." She said pointing at the beaten pile of body's below her foot.
"H-help... me..." The Boar whimpered painfully.
"Shut up!" Megami screamed and punched him again. He let out one last painful groan.
"Can me and my friend observe you making the dungeon?" Person A asked.
"Sure. But you have to tell me you're true name and never tell anyone about what you witnessed." She said in all seriousness.
Just as Person A and Person B were about to leave Megami stopped them.
"Sit at my table."
"What in the world happened here?" A guy said as he walked in.
"Sorry. I got into a fight but on the bright side I found some good subjects!" Megami said delightfully.
"Meg... Can you fix the table and the food. I traveled a long time to get here." The man asked with annoyance in his voice.
"Sorry. I'll fix it right now. Time Space: Reverse Area Cubed." The area where the food went and the floor stayed still for the amount of time since the table broke but then what happened before happened in reverse. Person A and B were dumbstruck at the sight along with everyone else who were present.
"Time to get some Eatēs!" Megami excitedly said cutely.
"Stop being cute and remove the memories of the entire city." The man said sternly.
"but Sir. I want to see what happens when I don't..." She wined, clearly bummed out.
"Nothing good, now do it!" He said.
"Fine... Region; Memory: Time: Reverse; Moment Choice: Megami Mahou inside Bar. Alteration: The Boar and group Never entered." Megami Chanted.
Person A and B watched as everyone sat down and went on as if nothing ever happened.
"Please sit. I have enough food for everyone." Megami said in a more professional manner.
"How..." Person A started to ask but got a glare for the big guy.
"State your true name and I will gift you some of my secrets but if you don't, I will erase the memories of everyone in half the kingdom that you know so it's as if you never existed and then use you for my own experiments. Spell Bind; Megami Harushima, William North, South North: Truth or Dare." Megami said.
"May I ask what that spell did?" Person A asked
"It does what I said William." Megami said with the aura of a world company boss.
"How do you know our names" person B asked.
"I have a system skill that lets me see someone's stats South." Megami said respectively. "Now. Tell me you're true name."
"Fallu Sky. His is Dual Oppo." William told her truthfully. He already went three quarters into the lake. He knew there was no way out with water on all sides.
"Brother! Why would you?!" South asked feeling betrayed.
"Because we don't have a choice! I would rather take the higher chance than the lower plus I don't think she is lying." He responded.
"Ok! Now that that is out of the way, we can get to real talk." Megami said.
"Yes. We can actually get down to business." The man said.
The two of them had an aura of rivaling Kings.
"First. Let us introduce ourselves. I am Megami Mahou. The God Calamity. This is the Jack Sorr, the Calamity of Sins and Virtues."
"Wait wait wait wait wait. Your the Demon King?!" William half yelled.
"Shhh. Keep it down. Do you want the whole bar to hear us?" South hushed.
"No one can hear us. I put up a sound barrier to block others from listening in. Unless you use a sound attack, then you could break it."
"What?" William looked at Megami like she just spoke alien.
"Nevermind."
"How did you guys meet?" South asked.
Megami and Jack looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"Well... I guess I should say the story this time?" Megami asked.
"You have the world listening." Jack said.
"Ok then!"
After I left the devastation I caused near the star temple... ("Are we really listening to this?" South asked) ("Quiet Brother. I'm trying to listen." Will whispered)
I started to walk endlessly to see what I could find.
After 3 months of walking I came upon deserted ruins. I decided to live there for a while and made it into my own little fort.
{"You turned a small church into an impenetrable fortress!" Jack said with disbelief as he dragged his hands down his face.}
I lived there for a while and decided to use the corpses I saved to make some undead.
{"Those undead became Calamities! To top it off they removed their undead status."}
I helped them regain their memories. And taught them everything I knew so they could help me in the future.
{"Why did you teach them Creation Magic?! They can now create a star on a whim!"}
One day as I was taking a walk I met Jack in a town trading some goods for alcohol. The goods were too valuable to be traded for only that much beer so I decided to help and haggled for 3 times the original amount and with better quality.
That is how I got to know him.
{"You forgot the part where I introduced myself proudly as a former Demon King. "}
Yes. He revealed that he was the former Demon King but was removed from the throne because he lost to the last heroes a few thousand years ago.
"Now a new Demon King rose up and Jack and I decided to say farewell to each other before he ascends. This is our last meeting."
"You skipped a lot there." William said.
"Anyway... Let's have some drinks and then finish that last dungeon!" Megami shouted so loud the her voice and the sound barrier canceled each other out.
"Hey waitress. Can we get our last drinks here for the order!" Megami asked but didn't forget to visually measure the poor girl. "Good bust. Good booty. Nice hips and cute face. I think tonight's gonna be good."
"Leave the poor girl alone Meg. She looks like she has it rough as it is. No need to make her life harder." Jack scolded
"You just don't understand the appeal of almost broken or broken girls." Megami argued. She got a chop on the head. "Oww"
"Goodbye Meg. I'm excited to see the path you choose." Jack said before fading away.
"Tch. Always with those cool exits. Hm, goodbye Jack." Megami said sadly. 'He's the first guy I ever had a crush on... I'll miss you Jack Sorr. You will stay in my memories for as long as possible.' She thought as she decided to drink her bed feelings away.
With that, Megami, William, and South left. They went out of town and continued to walk until they reached a mountain. Right in front of them was a portal glowing silver.
"Ok. Goodbye assholes!" Megami said and threw The Boar and his group inside. Using a giant hand made out of mana. Only then did the brothers realize that she put the group in her cloak. To say that they were shook would be an understatement.
"Time to make the building. I think I will go for a nuclear bunker kind of feel." Megami said and started to mess with a small hologram and placed things in different places.
The North Brothers were astonished at the sight and couldn't help but watch as the hologram got bigger and bigger until there was at least a few hundred floors. They could tell immediately that this would be the hardest dungeon ever found. It would be beyond S rank.
"With that I am done. Time to create my last dungeon. I think I'll name it Zone Zero." Megami said after she was done. It took 2 weeks to perfect.
"Just the name is intimidating and you say it has how many floors?" William asked
"Not telling. You have to conquer it and earn my skill Dungeon Creation. This is the only dungeon where the gate cannot break. It is a one way stop with very few ways out. It is a prison for those with greed but a boon for those with courage. It is a Zone with Zero break times." Megami said with a grin that revealed just how much she reveal in the misery of others.
"Scary. What will you do now?" South asked.
"I will wander. I want to see the world and decide which side to pick in this war." Megami said and walked north. The direction of the Demon Territory.
The brothers were shocked that she would pick a side. They made the unconscious decision to stay away from the war. Decades later they would be the ones who conquered every dungeon and become big wigs in this world and their names would bring fear to all intelligent lifeforms.
———————————————————————
As she wandered for months until she came across a demon village being plundered by humans. She walked inside invisible and witnessed atrocities that followed no morals.
'The last village I went to was no different than a humans with a little culture difference. Now I see humans for what they really are. They are worse than werewolves and as disgusting as the demons from Khel. Selfish, Greedy, Fearful, No Pride, Pathetic, but Dangerous when motivated the right way. These demon women are being raped by human men while begging for mercy for their children. Even children are being raped and cruelly and agonizingly killed. The humans are enjoying their screams. Why must they go through this misery, this racism. Where is the kindness I saw? Other Villages are going about their day not knowing this it happening?'
I didn't want to watch but I had to. I had to understand.
'History repeats itself in different colors. Many planets go through something similar. But to see it for myself when I have always lived in a society where all are equal is heartbreaking. It makes you want to rip your own skin out and vomit, I want to kill them but I can't bring myself to. It is impossible to put myself in their shoes. The shame they feel, the Agony their hearts and brains are going through, the sadness that rips your soul from your body, the hope for the end and the acceptance of what is happening as you wish for death instead, the anger, and fury that flows through you until you realize that you can't escape or even be your own person. All of it and this is just scratching the surface. I can feel their pain.'
As Megami stood there something started to happen to her body. Black horns grew out of her skull. her teeth became denser and sharper. Her once human eyes became filled with demonic anger. Her skin turned red and tattoos appeared that each represented an element. Her blood boiled so much it and her veins burned black. Her once red flesh became denser and turned orange. Her nails became pointed and sharp. Her bones became magic tools to make her magic run smoothly. Her black hair formed streaks that represented the elements she could use. She became the first natural demon in generations.
"Absolute Magic: Ruin of Phoenix Texas."
As soon as she cast the spell she ran as fast as she could deeper into the Demon territory. Even when she was out of range she still ran. When she stopped she used Earth Magic: Rising Mountain to create a tall mountain range to hide herself in. She watched as she witnessed one of the worst tragedies in Gods Game.
The fall of Phoenix Texas. The capital city of Texas that got chosen to have the worst trial. She remembered the gods forcing them to go there just to try to kill them. It was a tragedy that she got the full force of. In return she got immunity to all man made weapons.
Megami chose to forget about it because if she thought about it any more she would remember her dead friends as well as her time on earth.
'I can't believe I'm doing this. I am a monster. To do this to this innocent planet is evil. As an apology I will make the demon realm the safest place to ever exist.' Megami thought as her eyes lingered on the bombs falling from the sky.
As she walked away the entire world lit red. One of the Last human cities, Phoenix Texas, was destroyed by the 48th Scenario when the gods told humans to survive the weapons of our own making and put us in a barrier. All the worlds Nuclear Bombs landed atop Phoenix Texas.
Megami still vividly remembers having her skin melt off as she screamed in agony because she refused to die.
AN*:(Hello Yuki here! I hope you enjoyed this chapter now that it is fully updated.)
FF: (Earth had different names for cities and a few new religions compared to our world. Germany also conquered quite a few countries and became as big as half of Russia. World war 3 ended with a small country completely eliminating the opposing side and forcing them to a compromise. This earth also didn't take kindly to women being in charge so the women's rights act happened later on. The acceptance of gay couples happened before the woman's rights act which caused women to give more of a push for acceptance. Other than that not much is different.)
