《TTSDK-The Twisted Swordsman And Demon King Got Caught In A Twist》 Chapter 0- The start of the twist The swordsman swung down his sword and the demon king narrowly dodged it. Demon king: Wah! That''s was dangerous. You are stronger than I- Kyaaaaaa! Without waiting for the demon king to finish her talk, the swordsman mercilessly swung his sword at her. The demon king dodged the sword by a hair breath. Having gained some distant, she shout at the swordsman. Demon king: Didn''t your parents taught you to wait for others to finish their talk!? Swordsman: Did your parent taught you to wait when the food is right in front of you? Demon king: They did! Wait, what does this have to do with food! Swordsman: It does though? The king promised me free meals forever if I kill you. And it must have been hard on you, having to wait while you are hungry. Demon king: I can''t say that I never have to wait....... Wait, that''s not the point. Its called manner and more importantly, you got bribed with fo-. The swordsman swung his sword suddenly at her but it got blocked by a barrier. The swordsman showed a displeased look as though the prey just got out of his grasp. Demon king: I fell for it once, but do you think I will fall for it for the second time? This time I prepared the barrier before hand! The swordsman let out a devilish grin. Swordsman: Let''s see about that. Look, there''s a dog. Demon king: Eh? Where! This instant, the swordsman leap toward the demon king and when the demon king turn around the sword is already in front of her. The demon king teleported away just right before the sword strike. Swordsman: Tch....... I thought I got you with that. Demon king: Why did you clicked your tongue! Wait, more importantly how could you trick me. Don''t you have any knightly morale? Swordsman: Knightly morale? What''s that, can I eat it? Demon king: You can''t! Just how much of a glutton are you!? Doesn''t matter, I also have a trump card. Look! There''s a dog! Swordsman: Do you think that I would be tricked with something as stupid as that? Demon King: Look! There''s food! Swordsman: I''ve told you that I won''t be fooled right?......... So, where''s the food? The swordsman looks around for the "food" Demon King: Everything you said just now felt like a dream...... Gotta grab a hold of this chance, Dragon Breath! Suddenly, a huge fireball with intense heat flew toward the swordsman. With a large explosion the blast left a huge hole in the ground, and smoke and dust is covering the crater. Demon king: Hahaha! How''s that? That''s what you get for tricking me! A shadow emerged for the smoke and..... Swordsman: Oi, where''s the food? The demon king''s eye almost pop out of her eye socket. Demon King: Even in this situation you only care about food!? Are you mocking me? What do you think of me as!? Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. Swordsman: Food. Demon king: Food!? I''m a food!? This is cannibalism! Swordsman: Although that''s not what I meant, but it won''t hurt to try human flesh once in a life time. Gulp* The swordsman drooled and looked at the demon king with longing eyes. Suddenly feeling chill down to her spine she immediately backed away a few steps. Demon king: N-No, don''t! You are creeping me out! Except for food, what else is in your brain! The swordsman thought about it and while the drool is still dripping out of his mouth, he answered, Swordsman: Beverages. Demon king: Beverages!? How is that any different from- Wah! The Swordsman suddenly appeared in front of her as if he teleported and swung sword violently and send barrage of strikes at the barrier, which resulted in the barrier having cracks. Swordsman: Its about time to end this, I''m starting to get hungry. Hah! Using all of his strength, he strike at the weakness of the barrier. The barrier broke and just when the swordsman is about to deal the last hit, Demon king: Kya! S-s-spartial rift! Suddenly, there is a crack in the air in between the swordsman and the demon king and it started to suck things in. The swordsman struggled for a while but still ended up getting sucked in. Demon king: Hahaha, how''s that! This is the might of the demon king. But the crack got bigger and bigger and ended up pulling the demon king too. Demon king: Eh? Wait, why am I also dragged along? Did I accidentally used too much of my mana? Wai-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! After the demon king is sucked into the space, the crack closed. ******************************** Swordsman: Ugh, where am I? The swordsman got up, finding himself in the middle of the wilderness. Trying to find out where exactly is he, he started to walk around. For unknown reason, its harder to walk and everything seems bigger but right now finding clue about where he is currently at is his top priority so he ignored it. After 30 minute, he found something that resemble him, or to be exact, it look exactly like him. There is a black haired man lying unconscious on the ground. That''s right, the swordsman saw himself lying on the ground. Swordsman: Did I die? By the way why is the tree unusually tall? He looked around and his sight fell to his own body, his hand got smaller and he has golden long hair. His figure also got a lot smaller and slender and there is not an ounce of muscle. There also something unusually soft although it looks like its flat on his chest. Swordsman: Eh? He, or to be exact she, found herself in the body of the demon king. Chapter 1-After the twist A loud scream resounded thorough the forest. Swordsman?: What the hell!? Why am I in the body of this glutton! The swordsman? open his eye wide astonished as his body has gotten a lot bigger and muscular than his previous self. His hair is also shorter and it''s black. The demon king? walked toward him. Demon king?: Don''t open your eye wide like that, it''s creepy even for me. Also, I too don''t want to be in this body as it look like I can''t eat much. The demon king? said while picking up the sword beside the swordsman?. Swordsman?: That''s because I don''t eat much. And this is your body right? Why are you saying that! Demon king?: Since I would never open my eye just like you did just now, I''m fine. Swordsman?: So it''s fine if you don''t do it!? Hah, I''m tired. I''ve been rebuking you since just now. The swordsman? said so depressed as he can''t catch up to everything that have happened . But as if the demon king? doesn''t care, she said Demon king?: All you have to do is stop rebuking. Swordsman?: That''s because you keep on spewing bullshit! Let''s just stop and introduce ourselves. I feel like my life is draining every time i rebuke you. Ducan: Fine, Ducan Wolf. Arisei: My name is Demos Arisei Greyer. But since we swapped our body, we should use another name. Ducan: Why don''t you just use the same magic to change ourselves back? Ducan look at Arisei curiously and Arisei just shrugged and sigh. Arisei: We hold affinity to certain magic in our soul and the magic I used is chaos magic. Unlike you who hold none affinity to elemental magic, I hold affinity to chaos magic. But since the mana storage of this body so small that it''s almost non-existence I can''t use the magic. Ducan: I know at least that much. I went to school you know? Although only for a year as I got kicked out because I keep on eating in class. Ducan is showing a proud face while Arisei is amazed. Arisei: You look so proud while you only study for 1 year? And got kicked out because of eating in class to boot? Well back to the name, do you have anything in mind? Ducan thought about it and suddenly something cross her mind. Ducan: I''ll call myself flat board. Arisei: Pft, why would you call yourself a flat board? Arisei laughed but Ducan just show an eerie smile which make Arisei''s smile cramp and shiver. Ducan: If I call myself flat board, the one being laughed at is your own body. Arisei''s face cramped from the thought of that. Arisei: I take back what I just said! I''ll think of a name for you while you think of mine! ******************************** Arisei: So, I''ll call you Arendel. Arendel: Sigh* Then you''re Ulfur. Ulfur: Then it''s decided, from now on it will be our name until we change our body back. By the way, where are we? Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Arendel: Shouldn''t I be the one asking that? It''s you who warped us here right? Ulfur: It''s true that I''m the one who used the magic but I can''t chose the location. Arendel: Tch, useless. Ulfur: Why did you clicked your tongue! And I''m not useless! Ulfur shouted, and suddenly there''s a roar and the ground is shaking. After a while, a huge red bear came into view. The bear is 2 meter tall, the bear roar and rushed toward them. Arendel: See? Even the bear deems you useless. Ulfur: I''m pretty sure that''s not what it say though!? And why the hell is the bear so big! The bear ran and using it''s huge claw, it slashed at Ulfur. Ulfur barely managed to dodge it and Arendel used this chance to slash at the bear. Although it connect, it didn''t do anything to the bear. Arendel: Ugh, why is this body so weak? The bear looked angry and face toward her. It raised it''s claw. She can''t dodge the attack because of her current body but suddenly, the bear flew away by a blast. Ulfur: Don''t look down on me. Even if I can''t use magic, I can still enchant my fist with element. After all, I''m a demon king. Ulfur said while his hand is still burning. The bear got up and look so angry that it look redder than it previously had. It got into position and there is fire coming out of its mouth. Ulfur: What kind of bear is that! It can even breath fire!? Arendel: Enchant speed, strength. Arendel suddenly have a burst of speed and rushed in front of the bear and slashed it before the flame reach them. She cut off the bear''s head which resulted in the bear''s death. Arendel: I never thought that a day would come where I would need to rely on magic. And even though I used magic it only reach half of my previous strength. Arendel said with a displeased voice while annoyed by her current body. Ulfur: Wait, when do you learn magic? Arendel: I told you I studied, although I can''t use due to lack of mana. But it''s an entire different story if it''s this body. Anyway, I''m hungry let''s cook this bear. ******************************** Ulfur: This meat is good! But is there ever such a bear? Where exactly is this place? Hey, why are you so depressed since we started our meal? Ulfur who heartily ate his meal asked her, but her tear fell down. Ulfur: Oi, oi. What happened!? Don''t tell me you''re homesick? It''s only been 4 hours. Arendel: Sob...... Even though such good food is right in front of me, it only took me 5 bites to be full. Ulfur look at her and sighed. And so this become another reason to why they have to change their body back faster. Information This is to help my reader understand the story better. (Might contain spoiler, read at your own risk!) About magic Every person is born with different affinity to the elemental magic which is attached to their soul. Depend on their affinity they can use different magic. Like if you only have fire affinity you can only use fire magic, but if you have fire and lightning you can use fire or lightning magic. And anyone can use the magic that doesn''t require any element. But it''s generally weaker and require a lot more mana. Ulfur (Demos Arisei Greyer) Ulfur has affinity to all element. Also Ulfur know that Arendel have no affinity to elemental magic is because Arendel''s body (swordsman) have very little mana and almost everyone who don''t have any affinity is like that. The fact that Ulfur can enchant his fist with element is because Ulfur is able to conserve the use of mana to the maximum.(He might not look like it but he is not called a demon king for nothing) Ulfur became a demon king is because he always admire villain, so he just went and become one. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Arendel (Ducan Wolf) Arendel is one of the strongest swordsman and is called Gourmet Sword due to her thirst for food. She is a war orphan and is constantly hungry and that is what created her thirst for food. One day, she picked up a sword when she is about to die due to hunger and killed a deer and ate it. After that she keep on improving her swordsmanship and fought for survival. When the king offer her meals forever she readily accept it as she won''t ever be hungry again. Also, she got kicked out of the school because she ate all of the animal in the vicinity of the school(include principal''s favorite dog). She ate principal''s dog right in front of him.(Arendel is a legitimate loli) Chapter 2- Lost in the middle of the forest After the meal, the recoil of changing body hit them so they are extremely tired and went to sleep.They sleep under the tree and luckily, there is no beast lurking around nearby as it was the red bear''s territory. Arendel: Hey, where exactly are we? Useless glutton. Arendel asked while they are walking in the wood shortly after they woke up in the morning. They are looking for their breakfast while trying to find a way out. Ulfur: Oi, this is your body right!? And I''m not useless! Arendel: Shut up, good for nothing. Ulfur: Isn''t that exactly the same meaning!? Arendel is still holding a grudge about the fact that she can''t eat much and Ulfur can do nothing but sigh. Arendel: So? Where are we, good for nothing? Ulfur: I''ve told you to stop that! Arendel: Hurry up before I upgrade your title. Arendel glared at him sharply and Ulfur instantly shrink to an existence no different than a hamster. Ulfur: ...........know. Ulfur spoke in a voice that even an ant can''t perceive. Arendel: What did you just say? Ulfur: I said I don''t know! How the hell am I suppose to know about a place where fire breathing bear reside in. And it''s not like I can fly and look around since this body don''t have enough mana. Arendel: .........Useless trash. Ulfur: Didn''t you upgrade it anyway!? Ulfur look dejected but Arendel decide to ignore it as she is still hung up on what happen yesterday. She rather use that time to think for a solution to her problem.While she is thinking about it, something show up Its a wolf, that''s the first thing that came into her mind. In fact, it''s really a wolf, just that the color of the wolf is blue. The wolf''s fur is light blue with some grey spot. It look angry as they entered it''s territory. It howled and after some time, wolfs leap out of the bushes. After they all leaped out, the amount of the wolf reached 12. Arendel immediately took a battle stance, yet Ulfur still haven''t notice them and still look dejected. The wolf that howled lower its lower body, and leaped toward them. In it''s eye they are nothing more than preys. Arendel grab Ulfur and pull him in front of the wolf. Ulfur: Uwoooooh! What the hell!? When Ulfur snapped out of it, the wolf is already in front of him. He reflexively punched the wolf with a right uppercut in the jaw with fist enchanted with flame and the wolf flung several meter away. The wolfs looked at their comrade fly and seemingly convinced it is dead. The color of the eye of the wolf changed, they no longer view them as prey but enemies. The wolf started to be more wary of them. The way they act seems to have a total 180 degree change as if the wolf who leaped rashly never happen. Ulfur: Oi! What''s with that. Do you want me to die? Arendel: Why do you care so much when it''s not even your body? Ulfur: You should care more about your body alright! While they are having their exchange the wolfs attacked. A wolf swing its tail and sharp ice flew at them. Arendel kicked Ulfur toward the ice. Ulfur: Wa-again!? Dammit, keep doing it and I''ll die sooner or later! Arendel: Stop talking nonsense during fights and you might live longer. Enchant strength, speed. Ulfur: You are the one who make me do it! If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Ulfur melt the ice with fire and using the well-built muscle of the body, he instantly close the distant between the wolf and grab it while sending lightning to it. The wolf got shocked to dead and that marked the second wolf killed. 10 more to go. Ulfur: Uwah, This body is better than I expected. Ulfur said while feeling thrilled, but it got immediate shot down. Arendel: It''s my body we are talking about here, unlike this body of yours. Are you even properly exercising? Maybe you are this small because you didn''t eat well. Ulfur: Don''t group me together with you! And my body''s height have nothing to do with it! As it hit a sour spot, Ulfur involuntary shouted while blocking the wolf with rock enhanced arm. Arendel ignore him and begin her own spree. The wolf leap toward her and she step back a step and cut off it''s head. The second wolf also leap forward with frozen claw. She kick the dead wolf toward it which result in the wolf clawing it''s comrade dead body. She didn''t miss this chance and lung in the body of the two wolf with her sword. She pulled her sword out and she look toward the remaining wolf. Her gaze is even scarier than a demon, although the truth is that she is still thinking for a solution for her problem. In the eye of the wolf there is despair and the forest is filled with anguish howls of the wolf. ******************************** They cooked the wolf meat and is having their breakfast. Ulfur: Even though the meat is hot in the surface, when you bite it it''s cold huh? This forest sure is filled with wonder. Arendel as usual, is feeling despair whenever she took a bite. She just punch him and pout. She wouldn''t mind it that much if she is alone, but Ulfur beside her is eating 10 times her amount and that is the only grudge she hold against him. Ulfur because of getting punched in the middle of the meal bit his own tongue and raged. Ulfur: What the hell do you do that for!? Arendel: Nothing.............Useless trash. Ulfur: I thought you forgot about it but it seems you will never huh!? Useless is fine but what with the trash? Arendel: So you like useless? Then your name will be useless from today on. Ulfur: So I will never graduate from the title is it? Ulfur said as he lost hope, Arendel decided to ignore him and continue walking in the forest in hope of finding a village to tell them their location. On their way they met several more monsters but they killed them all in a matter of second and continue on, leaving trail of dead monster body. ******************************** The story of adventurer A Yesterday, I''m walking in the Forest of Dead, where nothing less than B rank monster show up. Aren''t I such a great adventurer? I''m looking for a plant which only show up in the Forest of Dead. I creep past every single beast I saw as I can''t beat any of them alone............ I''m still a great adventurer as the people in my village don''t even dare to go inside alright? But the problem is that while looking for the plant, I found a huge trail of monster corpses. After seeing this thinking there might be a S class monster nearby i immediately went back to report it to the village chief. And it''s being called the Trail of the Grim Reaper. Chapter 3- Temblefall village After walking for hours, they finally reach the exit of the forest. And in front of them is a village which is quite a distant from them. Ulfur: Finally, a village! If the village is also filled with weird monsters I''m gonna cry. After being in the forest which is filled with danger all over the place Ulfur tend to want to live in a place that is populated with humans but since the forest is filled with wonders, the possibility of the village with monsters is not zero. Arendel: Even if its filled with monster its fine. Their meat is unusually delicious. Ulfur: Even though you can''t eat much now, you still only think of foods? Arendel: Shut up, whose fault do you think that I can''t eat much? And this body is so small that the reach of my sword is shortened as well. Even with magic this body''s strength only reach half of mine. Ulfur: Ugg, stop calling my body small! Its not that bad right? At least it look cute right? As it hit the sour spot again, Ulfur''s tear is flowing nonstop as he is trying to convince her about the good part of the body. Arendel: What part about being cute is advantageous in battle? If you can give me even one I''ll reconsider about it. Ulfur: Err..... It will make other''s heart quench when hitting such a cute and delicate body? Arendel: That is only the case with lolicons, and the way you are describing your body is overating yourself. Ulfur: Whats wrong with that!? Won''t you normally try to appeal to others about the benefit of your merchandise? Arendel: Enough, trash. Don''t make me went stripping in the village. Ulfur: I was wrong to expect that you would forget about the title. Is calling me the name you personally gave me that hard? Ulfur immediately stop talking after that as she would really strip in the village. She began to walk toward the village in the distant while Ulfur, despite being depressed still went with her. ******************************** After an hour of walk, they arrived at the village. Luckily, the village is filled with humans, but the strange thing is that when the arrive everyone stare at them astonished and gossip among themselves. Ulfur: Why are they staring at us? Are we not suppose to step into this village without permission? Arendel: How should I know? Go ask them if you are curious. Ulfur let out a wry smile. Ulfur: It would look awkward if I just went and ask them. Arendel has a astonished look on her face. Arendel: You actually know about shame? Ulfur: What do you take me as!? What make me think that I know no shame!? Arendel: The fact that you shamelessly claim your body to be cute and delicate. Ulfur: What''s wrong with that!? What part of my body make you dissatisfied!? Arendel: That part where I can''t eat much because your body is "cute" and " delicate". Ulfur: Just that!? Suddenly, a old man walk toward them. Luckily the old make spoke in the same language as them, or else they can''t even acquire information about where they are. Old man: Did you young adventures perhaps pass by the Forest of Death? Arendel: Forest of Death? I don''t know about it but if you are talking about the forest behind us then yes. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Arendel''s answer cause a commotion among the villagers. Both Arendel and Ulfur looked at them with doubts. Village chief: Great adventures, I am the village chief of the Temblefall village. Did you happen to pass by any S ranked monster? Arendel: S ranked monster? I don''t think we pass by any of it, why? Village Chief: Nothing, its just that someone report that there might be a S ranked monster in the forest. We need to take measure if there is any nearby, but it seems that there''s no need. Adventurers, what bring you here to this faraway village? Ulfur: We wanted to reside in the village for a few days, is there an inn in this village? Village Chief: Ah yes, yes. The inn is right over there. The village chief said while pointing at a building that is slightly larger then the other buildings around it. Ulfur: By the way, which part of the world is this village at? The village chief have a questioned look on his face but he still answered him. Village chief: This village is the village at the most north side of the Bern empire. The Bern empire is one of the north side empire, why? Ulfur: Nothing. Arendel and Ulfur start to walk toward the inn while showered with stares. Even when signing up at the inn the inn''s assistance is staring at them at awe. Their can''t be used for some reason and luckily they got some money when they came across some corpse at the forest. It seem that the corpse have quite a bit of money and they don''t have to worry about money problem for the time being. By the way, they got a double bed room with meals and the assistance look at them while blushing but they decided to ignore her as their head is filled with questions. ******************************** In their room. Ulfur: Bern empire? Is there ever such an empire? Arendel: How should I know? You are the one who warped us here you trash. Ulfur: Stop calling me trash! The fact that I''m able to warp is amazing enough. The amount of people who is capable of warp can only be counted with one hand! Arendel: Useless. What''s the point of it when you can''t even chose the location? You even swapped our body. Ulfur just felt like a knife stab into his heart, and he gave up. Ulfur: Ha...... our currency can''t be used here, and Bern empire. The probability of us being in another world is high. What should we do? Ulfur began to grew frantic, but Arendel just cut him short. Arendel: What should we do? Of course its to get us back to our world, even if you can''t at least change our body back. You warp us here so naturally you have to take responsibility of it. Ulfur: Fine, its getting late now let''s just eat our dinner and sleep. Ulfur said tiredly, this shock has made him tired out mentally. When they had their dinner, the dinner taste not as good as the monster meat they ate at the forest. Arendel grief over her usual problem and kick Ulfur for no reason. After that they went to sleep. Ulfur and Arendel slept with each other in the forest so they got used to it. Nothing happen during the night so don''t let your imagination run wild. Suddenly, the inn assistance sneezed. Major News! Hello guys! I have finally decided to start my own wordpress.
