《WAY OF DEATH》


 IN THE DARK

    What if I told you that I was going to be the one to kill demon lord Aglo. I wouldn¡¯t be fazed by the laughter I had gotten used to it.


    That bastard destroyed my family and now he was right in front of me laughing. This bitch has the audacity.


    Perhaps he thought he was in the position to be making a joke out of his situation but little did he know. I had trained day and night every day since that day the gruesome training left me in the state where I couldn¡¯t eat without regurgitating it. Those nights where I had to literally trust fall into my bed from being so sore all lead to this day. I wasn¡¯t the same little boy who couldn¡¯t do a thing but hate.


    That very day a young boys fate changed. I realised the cruelties of the world. I journeyed alone with noone and nothing but my trusty dagger. You see after my village was destroyed I ended up wandering around. I had met death more than I should have for someone only at the young age of 20.


    As a kid you learn how terrible demons are but as a hayseed from a (dirty) village, as these bitches call it I could really see how cynical and evil humans really are.


    ¡°Are you done?¡± I looked at the Aglo who¡¯s laughter had really gotten under my skin.


    ¡°Like father like son.¡± Aglo said with a smirk.


    Ugh that smirk.


    ¡°I know that I cannot beat you head on Aglo but will you still be laughing in a second.¡±


    WAY OF DEATH


    The skill I had found that was a suicide skill. I would temporarily gain the power of one of the Primordial casters but their power was way to much for a mortal shit even some immortals can¡¯t contain their power. So from what I know is my body will turn to ash so I only had until I was no more to end this fight.


    ¡°AGGHHHH!¡±This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    The power of a primordial being is¡­.. It is fucking amazing! I looked at Aglo on his knees coughing up a waterfall of blood. At this point he would die from blood loss instead of me actually touching him. I couldn¡¯t let that happen.


    With a sway of my body I flashed before Aglo kneeling down gently raising his chain so that we locked onto each other eye to eye.


    ¡°This is for my family.¡± Cold eyes piercing through his skin Aglo started sweating trying to beg for forgiveness but not being able to make a peep.


    SLAP*


    No it wasn¡¯t just a regular slap that would have been to nice. I had to go lower than that. It was a bitch slap. The back of my handwas slightly red with a slight tingling sensation.


    Soon after everything went black.

    ¡°Am I dead? I took in the scenery around me. Small pebbles scattered around the floor and stalactites hung from the roof.


    ¡°M...Master is up!¡±


    I turned around to see the owner of the voice. A young boy who stood around 5'' looked at me with pure excitement in his eyes.


    ¡°Master?¡± I looked around for some old guy, Possibly with a beard hanging to his waist oh and of cource a stick! But saw noone


    ¡°You talking to me kid?¡± I looked at my hands making sure I had no wrinkles and felt for facial hair.


    ¡°Yes, master please we have to tell uncle leon!¡± The kid quickly pulled on my sleeves sending me across the room by accident.


    Looking puzzled the kid looked at me with confusion. Before he finally came to a realisation. Whether it was right or wrong who knows.


    ¡°Oh I get it master has just woken up so he is a weak at the moment.¡±


    I stood up looking at the kid stunned. All he did was pull my sleeve trying to guide me and next thing I know is i¡¯m face planting the wall.


    ¡°Who are you and where am I?¡± I looked at the kid stunned.


    ¡°I am Rien and we are at home.¡±


    ¡°Yea, but what¡¯s home? I asked puzzled.


    ¡°Our home has no name master. But we are in a cave in the forest.¡±


    ¡°Master we have no time to talk any more let¡¯s go see Uncle Leon.


    Rien took me down an intricate pathway we continued walking for about 5 minutes before stopping before a door.


    As soon as we entered the room a heard dishes dropping I turned towards the sound and saw a man standing there with his jaw dropped.


    ¡°Raeis!¡± The man ran towards me engulfing me in a huge bearhug nearly squeezing the life out of me.

 CURSED

    ¡°WHAT?!?!¡± If it weren¡¯t for me already sitting I probably would¡¯ve fell back. As hard as I tried I couldn¡¯t process how strong these two had to be.


    ¡°Haha! We are your trusty fol¡­..Family.¡± Uncle Leon said throwing his arms around the two. One could only tell how happy he was with a grin stretching from ear to ear this was the day he had been waiting for, for so long.


    In my past life I had entered a few dungeons so I knew just how troublesome they could be. I mean I had entered some mid rank ones for B class adventurers and I only managed to barely survive and that was with me going down three floors with a handful of potions to aid me and here in front of me these two are saying that they cleared the dungeon destroying the core just to make it a good resting place? If you would¡¯ve told me of someone doing something like this in my past life I wouldn¡¯t take you serious in the least.


    Although it does explain the kid sending me flying across the room with a small tug.


    ¡°M..Master!¡± Rien gaped at me with eyes that threatened to pop out of his head at any second.


    ¡°W..What? Is everything ok?¡± Anything that could shock any of these two had to surely be alarming.


    ¡°It¡¯s ok Raeis¡­.Its the curse.¡± Uncle Leon deeply exhaled before locking onto my eyes like magnets.


    ¡°The curse?¡±


    ¡°Yes...with your long slumber it seemed to go away but I guess it¡¯s back with your return.¡± Uncle Leon put his hands on his chest. Palpitating violently he could feel his heart threatening to jump out of his throat at any given moment.


    ¡°Aghhh!¡± A throbbing pain could be felt on top of my head as two horns forced their way out of my flesh.


    I wasn¡¯t the only one going through this the same was happening to Rien and Uncle Leon as well. The only thing that could be heard in the small room were nothing but horrid blood-curdling screams of agony that would keep anyone who heard them up for decades maybe even a lifetime.


    This all lasted for about 10 minutes before finally turning back to its calm state.


    I gaped at Rien and Uncle Leon their appearance rendering me speechless. Although they both were humanoid they now had horns and tails. In my past life the only demons that could possess a humanoid form were demon lords such as the one that I risked my life to kill.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    Seeing the two I subconsciously felt on top of my head where nothing but hair should¡¯ve been I felt something long that protruded.


    A curse huh. After a long day of shock I just wanted to lay down but something told me that this wasn¡¯t the time to do so. Being a person who was hellbent on revenge against demons in my former life I couldn¡¯t help but balk at the idea of living my life as a demon. I studied my new grown tail that swayed at my side and couldn¡¯t help but commend the gods for at least not making me some hideous creature.


    ¡°Master, Don¡¯t worry It¡¯s just the curse since you hated demons with all your heart you were forced to live as one.¡±


    ¡°There was one more.¡± Uncle leon who was looking down at his claws whilst continually extending and retracting them. He shifted his focus from his claws towards the two with eyes that seemed to be able to probe into all of my secrets.


    ¡°This curse isn¡¯t the one to worry about. The worst of it is that anyone who follows you will have their life energy drained.¡±


    I know I said nothing could surprise me at this point but what the hell. Who exactly did the previous owner of this body offend and why? To really be cursed twice it was terrifying. I looked at the two people before me with awe and admiration even though being by this guys side would lead to inevitable death they stuck by his side not giving in. This caused me to wonder though were there any more people following Raeis before the curse?


    ¡°Do you know how to get rid of it?¡± Yes I had grown a distaste for demons but living as one was one thing. But literally slowly killing everyone who you grew a relationship with that was something else. It was something I couldn¡¯t live with.


    ¡°There are two ways I know of. The first is finding a person with enough knowledge and skill to disperse the curse and the second¡­..¡±


    ¡°The second?¡± I urged him on wanting to know the second possible way.


    ¡°To obtain the Eye of Deilu. But that is nearly impossible Deilu is the god of healing.¡± Just the thought of killing him made him nervous. He felt as if he was being judged for just thinking about it.


    ¡°It can¡¯t be helped then¡­.for now at least. Are there any known people who may be of help?¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t know master¡­¡­.Uhhh well...We have been in here for almost 2000 years.¡±


    ¡°......¡± What¡­..the¡­..fuck¡­¡­


    Ok I refuse to be shocked by anything else from this point onwards. What could surprise me anymore. I wake up in a cursed body, Oh on top of that I became a demon, oh wait did I forget to mention that I will eventually kill anyone close to me, ok, ok last one I promise these guys have been in here for over 2,000 years.


    My brain was still trying to connect the dots. The imaginary cogs that were rusted and stuck that were finally working to an extent had went back to point A. Fuck this the more I try to make sense of this the more confused I will become. Anyhow the two options I have would require strength. To be able to even meet a person with enough stature to be able to cure a curse at this level I would need power myself. Judging from these two in front of me I could learn alot from them.


    ¡°Hey can you two teach me?¡±


    ¡°T..Teach master? Uhhhh¡­..¡±


    ¡°I currently don¡¯t have my memories as you can tell So I need to relearn things until they come back.¡± I quickly cut Rien off before he said anything else.


    ¡°Well surely, But that depends on what you want to learn? Rien can show you how to fight head on as he specialises in physical battle as for I, I specialise in casting.¡±


    ¡°What did I specialise in before?¡±


    ¡°Ahhh well master...You specialised in casting but you were good at fighting too.¡± Riens eyes gleamed reminiscing on the times he saw Raeis in battle in the past.


    ¡°Ok then I will Put most of my effort in casting but wont neglect physical training.¡±
