(A/N:- New ARC:- Land of Dead, this arc contains only inheritance trials, this arc is not too long. After this arc the Original novel's plot will begin.)
I opened my eyes and looked at my body and then breathed a Sigh of relief.
*Sigh* "It is good that I am in one piece"
I looked at my surroundings, this was a deserted land, If I focused using my mana I could see forest and mountain two miles from here.
'Well, this should not have happened this soon but alas, what can we do against the destiny' I thought to myself.
In the original work Greve came to this world after the first year of academy when he was completely darkened and his dark mana got out of control just like this time that happened to me.
This world was named as Land of Dead, this place was solely created by the King of Darkness, he created this world for burying the evil peoples bodies, whom he killed during his journey as hero, because the number of evil peoples he killed were countless and he needed a land to bury those bodies.
(A/N:- King of Darkness, reference in 2nd chapter, 3rd last paragraph.)
It was assumed that 10000+ years ago when he disappeared from the human world he came to this world to rest in peace, but the reason of his disappearance was unknown.
From the day of his disappearance it was known that in every 1000 years a competition of dark magician held by the King of Darkness in this Land for the inheritance of his knowledge. But no one won the Competition untill the date.
The name of King of Darkness was 'Erebus'. Only few peoples knew about his real name like the King of empire, Alexander. I knew because I was the one who gave him this name.
This inheritance would be held for 10 years, In the original novel, even though Greve(16) only had four years, he completed all the trials but he only got half knowledge because he wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for complete inheritance and I also deliberately did this so that he doesn't get complete inheritance.
Otherwise with his elemental Rank and the knowledge of Erebus he could become even stronger than the Erebus himself and then forget about the protagonist not even god could be able to kill him.
But I never reached to that point, because I stopped writing at the point of inheritance.
As an author I knew what trials I had to face here, but I couldn't waste my ten years in this world, because I had a harem out there waiting for me, so I need to complete this inheritance as soon as possible.
So I started walking towards the mountain, where trials were going to be held.
But I needed to be careful, because my demons with enough mana were invited here by some unknown entity, though I knew about this entity. It was the soul of King of Darkness, who invited every dark mage with high mana here. This was the reason why those two demons named Amon and Gorgo wanted to increase their mana by eating 'Phoenix heart'.
And since there were too many demons here for the inheritance, so they would start killing each other to increase their chances of winning the inheritance.
It took me 1 hour to reach the Forest mountain, as I entered inside the forest.
*Splash*Splash*Boom*Boom*
Battle cries could be heard, I meticulously started walking around the forest before climbing upwards towards the peak of the mountain.
To survive here as an only human I needed to find a safe place, so I searched the whole forest, this forest was huge so I found a Maze like cave where few peoples might come during first trial. It was right under the mountain and couldn't be seen easily after finding this place I started walking upward the mountain. The slope of the mountain was not to high, so it was easier to climb.
As I reached to the top I hid behind a rock and saw the scenes of war between the demons. More than a thousand demons were fighting and killing each other.
Soon the ground shook violently and everyone stopped whatever they were doing, A soul descended from the sky, he was an old man with wrinkles of his face and a long white beard, he was the King of Darkness, Erebus.
He opened his mouth and started speaking but instead of voice, Dark letters started forming in the air.
" The Trials for inheritance of my
Knowledge are going to start
From today, and it will only
appear for the next 10 years, All
The present Participants are chosen
For the first trial, and if one person
Will be able to win this Competition
Then all the other participants will
Die even if they are at First trial or
At the last trials. Only one person can
Leave from this alive."
