Chereads / Demon's Shadow / Chapter 3 - The Aquinox Realm

Chapter 3 - The Aquinox Realm

"So then what was the actual reason you brought me here?"

Composing myself took ever ounce of strength in my body but I was able to stop the tears which threatened to pour down my face.

「You should know already 」

Ahh. I forgot today was the day all the new demon awakens would be forcefully sent to the Aquinox Realm.

The Aquinox Realm is a realm, world, or plane of existence which exists in between the human realm,Earth, and the demon realm, Jaakuna Ori,or just hell.

Since yesterday I had awoken my demon shadow I was supposed to go to the Aquinox Realm to further assimilate my demon shadowxand awaken it.

But I had of course planned to end myself before I'd get transported here so why didn't it happen.

「I am what you humans call the 'A. System' and I will be the thing which will help you in your adventures in the Aquinox Realm.

"Well so far you haven't done much helping more hurting if you ask me."

「My apologies I didn't realize the one I was going to be bound with was such a pitiful fool who actually attempted to take their own life but failed...truly pitiful.」

"Hey,was there a reason to say pitiful twice, I understood it the first time."

「Anyways I'm about to transport you into the Aquinox Realm so get ready.」

"Hey,don't just act like you didn't say all those hurt fu-"

「Bye bye 」

"Hey, you little-"

***

"So this is the Aquinox Realm."

Even though I had just said my thoughts out loud I did not care because despite all the bad and horrible things I heard about that happens in the Aquinox Realm, right now I felt at peace more than I had ever been for the past week.

The astonishing view which took my breath away as I looked at it atop a mountain edge.

The sun's rays were reflected onto the sea thousand of meters away, and the large forest with multiple trees which dared to touch the clouds,obstructed the view but that only added to the complete beautiful scenery.

"Hey,wait is that thing heading straight for me."

Squinting my eyes I looked at the flying thing which looked to be getting bigger by the second as it headed towards me.

"Oh it is.. Well it won't matter anyways since it's so small I'd easily be able to take on that thing."

Looking back I realized the creature looked a little bigger. A few seconds later I realized why.

'Wait the further something is the smaller it looks, yea,y-yea.'

'If that thing is flying and it looks that big from that far then how big will it be when it reaches me.'

Gulp.

'I don't think I want to find out.'

Jumping up from my seated position I walked away but before I ran I looked back at the creature one last time.

'Oh shi-'

The masters speed almost quadruple once it saw that I stood up as it zoomed towards me.

'How is it moving that fast at that size. What did I even do to make it want to eat me.'

Turning back around I bolted out from their as fast as I could.

Running on the flat mountain I could see the extremely fast monster still flying at max speed towards me, and it was approaching faster than I was leaving.

'I'm dead aren't I'

「The Jackal's Sparrow a large beast with unimaginable speed. It's known for using it's beak and speed to make itself a living torpedo or use it's claws to slash at its enemies before they know it.」

"Yea all I'm hearing you say is that I have absolutely no chance of winning, nor escaping."

「That's 100% true.」

"Huh? So this truly is how I die, because of some useless system which doesn't even help its owner."

「Ok,ok. The Jackal's Sparrow has incredible eyesight, which it relies on heavily, but it has bad hearing so as long as you hide in a dark spot and don't make a peep you'll be fine.」

"Thank you all good and great system."

"Also I don't know if you have incredible eyesight because there is absolutely nowhere to hide here!"

「Figure it out」

This system mark my words one day I'm gonna-

"What the heck how is it so close already."

The Sparrow which used to be hundreds of meters away from him was now only a few hundred away and its figure was already that large.

「Pft. Have Fun with that. 」

"Have Fun? You know if I die you die too,you are my system now after all."

「Nah.」

"The heck you mean by nah."

「I'll just be sent back to the main system and your knowledge will be stored in there to be used to help later demon awakened.」

"This piece of s-"

Raor!!!

A blood curling roar escape the bird maw and echoed across the flat mountain plan causing the reality to set in.

'So they save me from death only to kill me a different way.'

My life is truly....pitiful.
