Dark Demons are residents of the realm of Dark Hell. The only thing the differentiate them from normal Demons are the rules.
They have feudalism in their lands. In order to pledge loyalty to their Lord and King, they must link their lives them. So if the King dies, everyone in Dark Hell dies along side him.
In order to prevent the extinction of their people, everyone two hundred years, another King is selected. Sometimes it is extended to two hundred and fifty, since that is the age that most Demons commonly die.
Now the difference between humans and Demons are quite obvious. But there is something else.
A one hundred year old Demon or Dark Demon would look like a fifty year old human. And a two hundred year old Demon would look like a possible hundred year human. In all, their youth last two times longer than humans.
The Demon King is an exception. He is given eternal youth the moment he is dubbed the ruler of the realm.
The Demon King would hold many responsibilities.
Dark Demon Kings would always be cruel since they utmost believed they were most important, just because of the life link between him and his people. That is how has been until Zeras stepped in to picture.
He was a Demon that truly cared for his people, but mostly his family. Because he viewed his responsibilities to the Kingdom important, he wasn't always with his family.
He married his wife because his parents arranged the wedding. He didn't choose.
The reason his parents did so is because she was the most beautiful Dark Demon at that time.
But Rose didn't care about Zeras, nor her children. All she wanted was control.
So because of her I'll teaches, her first daughter followed in her footsteps. Her sons didn't show emotions to their family members and her lastest daughter only cared about strength and power, wanting to become a King, not a Queen.
Because of this division in the family, it was unstable. And Zeras took it upon himself that he was the cause of his families misfortune.

The Dark Demon King killed Kris a thousand times over. He had lost count.
All he did was wave his hand at the direction Kris was and activate a simple Skill.
[Warning: Soul Cut has been activated!]
With that one wave, Kris died and respawn. Died and respawn. Died and respawn. It was unending.
The King didn't even realize want he was doing. He was just fixed in the motion of just waving his hand as he felt the presence of Kris.
He was filled up with sadness, grief. He didn't know want he needed to do.
He was a bad father. No a terrible one. A disgusting King. That was the type of thoughts that engulfed his void of a mind.
But eventually this cycle was discontinued by Kris.
[Not enough Mana!]
"What?" The King inquired, looking up from his state of madness.
"Hah!" The plain and lifeless voice of Kris laughed from a far.
Kris was completely naked without armor as it was damaged beyond repair by the Demon King.
"You used all your Mana, so you can't use that damn annoyance Skill," said Kris mockingly while pointing at the King. "Even if you have a Mana recovery skill, it wouldn't activate since you wouldn't have enough Mana to even activate!"
Now pointing at the Dark Demon King's head, Kris said, " You should have just focus on your Mana instead of how terrible you are as a father. You sissy! I already killed your family."
Kris was now letting his true self show. He has been repeating this cycle of dying for two days straight because of how endless the Dark Demon King's Mana is. Since he had enough Mana, it would give him enough time to recover more and so forth.
[Intelligence: 99,900]
The Dark Demon King wanted to rip Kris into a thousand pieces and a thousand more. But he knew he shouldn't. He wouldn't let himself fall into Kris's hand.
"Hey," Kris said in a hollow and uncanny voice. "Why aren't you coming at me?"
Kris began to approach the Demon King.
"You know, it hate this bullshit. How can evil always be strong than good, when they say good will always prevail and triumph over evil?" Kris blabbered on. "For Christ sake! Your a fucking Demon!"
A thick aura of envy surrounded Kris. A black and non-pure aura that showed no concern for other's or their sad backstory.
[Your conviction for strength and your envy for power has activated something in the System!]
[Congratulations!]
[You have Awakened!]
[You have received the Awakened System!]
[Rewards: +1000 All Stats, +1000 Attributes Points, x1 Skin!]
[User has activate the Skill: Mana Manipulation]
[Mana Manipulation has been activated]
Kris concentrated his Mana into his palm and forged his favorite and iconic weapon. A katana.
[User has activate the Skills: Divine Aura and Divine Weapon Aura]
[Divine Aura has been activated]
[Divine Weapon Aura has been activated]
Once again, Kris's blade was enveloped in a golden aura with a blue outline. He then placed his blade in his saya and a purple aura overlapped it, blazing furiously.
"So you wish to face me head on?" The Dark Demon King inquired. "A shall give in to your demand."
From the crimson sky came down a red and black strike of lightning. It landed at the Dark Demon King's side.
After the lightning vanished, a great sword, inside a sheath made of black metal stood. It was stuck in the floor and a large crater surrounded it.
The Dark Demon King pulled out the great sword from the sheath with one hand and putted it at Kris.
"Now, let's duel!"
Seeing this, Kris inquired, "Do you know that you won't be able to kill me?"
"Even though stats are back to three digits, I'll still find a way to defeat you."
"I know... human," said the Dark Demon King sadly. "But I shall carry this battle on to infinity if I have to. Besides, you killed my family and hurt my people. I shall kill you a billion times if I have you..."
"... the son of the Omega King!"
Kris froze with surprise and shock. Anger and hatred. Concern and confusion. He was in a wave of mixed emotions.
".. W-what.. what the hell did you just say?!" Kris exclaimed and inquired, obviously enraged.
"Hmm, so you don't know?" The Dark Demon King inquired. "The Omega King only gives unfair advantages to those he dubs his children. Giving them the sub ability of immortal is just one of them."
Looking back, Kris believed it made sense. The day he was given the inability to die for good had happened after he had meet the presence of the Omega King.
"Don't fuck around me! What did you say?!" Unable to believe such a thing, Kris inquired once more in disbelief.
"You heard me, son of the Demonic Deity."
Kris, enraged, charged at the Dark Demon King. The battle had commenced.
Presuming his stance, the Demon King waited for Kris to strike first.
Kris strike the King, but he blocked it with his great sword.
The two began to trade blows. Kris had also died a couple of times. This went on for a day, a true testament to their resilience.
But eventually, on Kris's ninth day in the realm of Dark Hell, he defeated the King.
[Quests Completed!]
[You have killed everything in this realm!]
[As a result, The Omega King will devour it!]
[As a reward, you will be given a quarter of a quarter of its power!]
Suddenly a red portal immerged infront of him. It was a portal back home.
Abruptly the world began to shake. Kris could hear it crumbling. But there was no panic, no chaos, no screams. That was because everyone was dead.
Was Kris feed strength to this entity that wanted to destroy his world? Yes, he was. But that thought didn't even cross Kris's mind. All he could think about was power that had received.
Without a word, Kris stepped on to the portal. His vision turned to black he was unconscious.
In the void of his mind, he saw them. His parents.
They waved at him from a far. His father with a gleeful smile and his mother with a uncanny expression.
The Omega King had succeeded though. Instead of running towards his parents, he turned around and walked away from them.
From behind, Kris could hear explosions. He turned around to see the spot his parents were covered in blood and guts.
Glancing at the mess, he scoffed, "Ugh," and walked away.
This was now a true testament of Kris being truly selfish.
