As usual, I was engrossed in my phone.
The reason, of course is to play 'Angel Frontiers'.
For the last 2 years, there was nothing more important than to find the final hidden piece related to the Archangel Alice - one of the five SSR rare characters in the game. So, it was worth every ounce of energy I poured into it.
--Ahhhh, this guy doesn't have a clue or follow up quest.
I blankly stared on the warm corpse of a Vampire demon lord I slayed not long ago.
Even if you look at 72 Demon Lord's ranking under Demon King, this guy is still a noteworthy opponent, ranked 54th.
[ System AI : Congratulations 'Demonic Angel' for unlocking a first Kill achivement. • Demon Slayer ]
[ • Demon Slayer : You have passed the Goddess trials, inheriting the path of chosen ones.
Attack stats when facing a Demon type opponent is increased by 3 times, an additional holy based damage is also calculated depending on the magic element you used. ]
A party made up of Top rankers in the world server could take him down out after a little preparation but because I took him solo, it was considered a First Kill achievement.
I don't know if it was my luck too bad or something. Starting from Demonic traitor event in the capital of Asalyn Kingdom, I ran all the way to the further south onto to land of barbarians and only after completing those useless investigation quests, I was able to have one on one fight with an actual Demon Lord. So, how did you not drop the Angel Quest line but a useless title that have no other purpose than making demon kind my eternal enemy.
To be honest, this sucks so badly. I can't even explain. Being given this title would definitely attract the attention of different demon lords and even demon king. Although, I can be considered on par with demon lord ranked 33rd and below but encountering an opponent anywhere above that is quite troublesome. Not to mention, if I accidentally crossed path with Demon King, one way or another it will eventually hinder my path to become one with Alice..
More importantly, all possible clues and stories with possible relations to Alice are already cleared up by me. And today I cleared the last one. It was becaus I have no idea regarding what to do next, I was more annoyed than always. Anyways, where in the world I am suppose to find a new Quest line ?
Even if I put a query request on 'Mission Tab', the answers I recieved so far all aligned with my already completed maps and chain events.
'What should I do next ?' Thinking of this, I recieved the reward for slaying the 54th Dmeon lord.
As I scroll down the props, some gauntlets, Magic whips, blood pills and a bunch of accessories appears before my eyes. Suddenly, an unusual item caught my attention.
It was a plain round ball, probably the size of a pea. The front has a half opened eye's diagram with long violet eyelashes shaking silenty. The entire outline was mixed of violet and white on a black canvas. Smelling like the breath of a notorious evil.
-- Source of Corruption ?
After inadvertently calling it's name, I appraised it.
Though this thing doesn't look that special, but for some reason I could tell my blood was boiling as if he could hear it's call.. what a weird feeling.
[ Can't Appraise !! Error 404 ]
--What ??
I clicked again on the appraisal button, resetting the previous progress.
'It must be a temporary bug'
I stared at the blank screen. Originally, it failed to appraise but now a request for an animation window pop-up, indicating that the rarity of this thing was also very high. It would be better if it could be related to Alice. I waited silently for the video to play.
[ System : The appraisal is finished ]
Finally, I can see what this weird object is. Just when I got excited over after thinking about Alice's beautiful figure, my phone's temperature rise up out of blue. Although it was not to the point of causing scalding my palm, it was still quite uncomfortable.
I was still wondering what kind of weird phenomenon happened in the split of a second, suddenly the phone made a crack like sound and the screen split open.
-- What's wrong, Am I.... hallucinating ?Did I not get enough sleep in the past few days and my body finally gave out.
In the end, what answered my murmur was a strong suction. I couldn't even let go of this *future destroying device as if it is glued on my hand, no rather it was pulling me towards itself.
--What the hell !!
Horrified, I could only try my best to prevent me from being sucked away by this damn thing. Using my left hand, I made a pulling action towards the bookshelf to get a grip but it was all in vain. Feeling my resistance, the suction seems to get stronger with each passing second.
Not lasting for a few second, my vision also become a little hazsy as I finally let go of the shelf I was holding onto.
--Uhhhhhhhh
Even with my eyes closed, I could tell this wasn't a dream. I have stumbled across something really horrifying and this realisation made me lose my composure as a scream resembling that of a howling ghost ring past in the room.
Before my parents could hear my last plea for rescue, I was already taken into the world past the Smartphone's screen, leaving nothing but a mysterious disappearance case for tomorrow's headlines.

What is transmigration ?
It literally means entering a foreign land, it may or may not be illegal. Mainly done for the search of better resources. And to an certain extent, the definition of 'Foregin land' is also diversified.
Changing from one city to another could be called transmigration.
Crossing the border of one country could be considered transmigration.
Crossing into a different world can be also called transmigration.
Taking possession of another person's body might as well as be treated as transmigration.
And I, past life Alex, current Damien Demitri have been reincarnated into a fantasy world for more than 15 years. Completing a fake transmigration is not a big deal to brag about especially, when my only feat is to replace the consciousness of an unborn baby in 'our' mother's womb.
As a man who had the honour to live two lives, I was also blessed to know my reincarnation was no where else but in the world of 'Angel Frontiers' and it was still 18 years prior to period of beta testing.
And Today was a very special day, the hardwork I have done from birth till now was finally going to bear it's sweet and delightful fruit.
-- Damien Demitri
Standing in front of me was a burly man wearing royal attire, his mere presence was excluding a kingly aura and the scar on his left right made him a bit intimidating. He was none other than Paul Lionheart, the current King of Mortise Kingdom and my dear uncle.
-- Yes, Your majesty.
-- If it wasn't for your contribution, the Kingdom's economy could not grow at such an astonishing rate in the past 2 years. So, in lieu of your excellent merit, I am going to grant you the title of Viscount and a territory in the north. Accept this !
-- It's my honour, Your majesty.
Paul made a declaration after putting Royal sword on my shoulders. I bowed and accepted it with no hesitation.
-- There are a lot of sufferings in you fate, dear nephew..
Paul whisper in a voice only audible to me, I looked up at the king for this sudden reminder but found he has a faint smile. Almost a perfect one, as if he is going to honey coax, some lost child.
His word made me fell in deep thought as I remembered, the original Damien was also an ill fated person whose sole purpose was nothing more than being punch bag of newbie players spawning in the vincity of Mortise.
But I am no longer the original Damien but a person with future insights. I will definitely struggle against all odds to reach my one and only goal.
The original tragedy of mine also occur because the original me was Duke Demitri's grandson and his designated heir. A mix of half push in and half pull in made his socal image, unruly and unscrupulous one. Result ? All of the personal manpower his grandfather left before his death ended up taking side with his cousins and uncle's struggle for power within the family and the thickest pillar of Kingdom, named Demitri Dukedom fell apart.
Of course, that was an event that was supposed to happen in two year's time but because of my constant interferences it would never occur in this lifetime. My social image was finally corrected to that of a sweet and charming little prince, as well my knowledge about game made me earn huge amount of money in both quickies and long run, creating the legend of youngest business wizard in history not only in Mortise but also in nearby Kingdoms. A part of it could be blames on a certain old man who loves to brag about how awesome his grandson is.
At last, what's left is to cultivate my own forces and accumulate enough experience to relieve my grandfather from his duties within next six years. So, I decided to start as a Viscount and after making a request to both my uncle and aunt, we came to an conclusion to let me get trained in North.
As the ceremony came to an end, a lot of people begin to gather around me. Some were familiar, some not. A few of them congratulated me for becoming a Viscount at such an young age but the my true admirers shows concern, saying how cold and bizrae north truly was or how could my small body can handle the poor lifestyle in it. The young ones even decided to organise a fairwell party without my consent on next weekend. All in all, it was troublesome enough to meet up with my Oldman's friends on weekends and their children also wanted to disturb my last leisure time, are they out of their mind or something ?
-- Child ?
At the critical time, the most reliable guy I knew so far pull me out of the crowd and took me into a corner, calling in a soft voice.
-- Grandfa.....
My head feels like it would torn apart any second, it was punched hard. It was the old man's way to show dissatisfaction for me to leave Capital city to live in gloomy north for the next half a decade.
