Author note: we will finally start some real shit!!!
A young lad was sleeping peacefully in his coffin like a Cinderella, who needed a prince to heal her albeit this time the prince was an ancient monster and the Cinderella was a guy. His body was filled with runes and was going through constant mutations to the onlooker it seemed that the lad was comatose but in reality, it wasn't that simple.
The boy named, Vyse was in a constant struggle inside his consciousness as the ancient monster had been trying to take over Vyse's body even while he was restricted due to the conditions of the ritual Although his power level had dropped, an ancient monster would still be a monster.
After what seemed to be forever to the boy, the demon finally spoke "Brat, When are you going to give up, How long would we be repeating the same stuff again and again"
The demon Ramos was trying to take over the crown prince's body however the latter was not going to let the former take control after all he finally got a chance at living with a loving family. "Fuck the revenge, I just want to live peacefully this time." Vyse thought, he had realized that taking revenge on those bastards was not a good choice after all he had already died and his previous life memories were fading too.
The lad was gutsy and so he had raised his middle finger to the demon's remark toh latter didn't understand what he was trying to imply.
"Now, Now, don't be overconfident you old bone, I won't let you take over my body, My mental fortitude isn't easy to break," the young lad said.
This remark had angered the so-called ancient being yet Vyse continued "You are an ancient being, you already have lived a lot let me take control."
"I can't let him make more jokes, this bastard has been trolling me ever since the ritual and why isn't he fearing me." the demon, Ramos thought.
Well to those who are confused, the ritual had indeed succeeded but the demon's will was strong and so it had been constantly fighting with the young lad to take over but the boy was not going to let the spirit take over after all he finally got a chance to heal his body and live peacefully in the peaceful capital. [[redflag raised.]]
Also, the demon was stuck in Vyse's consciousness so here Vyse was the powerful one but the demon too had its own trick and somehow it too had retained equal power. The earlier remark did attack the ancient being as he truly was old and tired yet his survival instinct wasn't letting him die and so he constantly fought.
Unbeknownst to them, this was going to be their final confrontation as the lad was improving through the constant battles they fought and this was also observed by the ferocious demon who once reigned over but now was stuck in a child's body.
The forbidden ritual was forbidden because it consisted of various unknown results, and man fears the unknown. This ritual had bonded the demon with Vyse's body which had brought multiple mutations unbeknownst to them.
They once again fought, this being Vyse's domain, he summoned a giant pristine white sword that was being held by his two hands. He then did a vertical slash to which the demon had teleported in front of Vyse whilst dodging the attack but Vyse was not going to let the bastard just dodge, he kept attacking some met their target while some didn't.
"Hahahahahahha, you are too young to defeat me brat." the demon shouted, his voice resounded in the black dome.
"Sure" Vyse said and continued his onslaught of attacks, he even used lances of fire, ice,light, and darkness after all this was his consciousness where he was the ruler. [[he can't use magic as he haven't learnt it as this is just a imitation]]
After what felt an eternity the demon finally lost his will to continue as if something had stopped him, they were in continuous battle for more than a century as the time passed differently in Vyse's consciousness.
"You know brat, I am impressed by your mental fortitude and your capabilities as you have been constantly improving in the battle and so I the almighty being is going to propose a contract with you." He said in a tone that seemed to say that he was favoring Vyse.
But the lad didn't listen to Ramos's comment and kept his onslaught of attacks as he was not going to trust a 'demon' to keep his 'promise'.
This again continued for another century, this time, Vyse proposed to the demon the terms of their contract to which the demon's reaction was one of anger.
"We aren't having a contract brat, you already lost your chance." the demon said in anger.
"Ah, I am having pity on you even after living for so long you get angered so easily, hahaha, are you even an ancient being." Vyse said whilst controlling his laugh.
Ramos's eyes were filled with anger but this time he had to control himself otherwise this puny human was again going to make fun of him. With a final, weary sigh, the demon's form began to fade, his power dissipating into Vyse's body.
As the last remnants of Ramos were absorbed by Vyse consciousness, Vyse was feeling proud of his victory as he not only had won the long struggle but had also won the right to walk on the path he desired.
A voice rang in his head whilst he emerged from his consciousness.
"Ah shit, I am out" Vyse said in his mind.
