《Re:Hero King》
Chapter 1:War, Death
There were thousands of troops across the battlefield staring each other down, each with their own hopes and dreams, passions, the pure amount of hatred they had for each other could be felt from far away, one was dressed in golden clothing while the other was dressed in violet clothing, the two walked towards each other.
The blonde haired man whose hair resembled a lion with eyes which were filled with pride, arrogance and vigor shouted to the man dressed in violet armor with curly long hair ¡°Malor''cas You and the rest of your kind shall die today!¡±
The curly haired man shot a glare towards the blonde haired man and said ¡°This war could have been avoided Hero King, but you Humans forced our hands, first your army raided our villages but that wasn''t enough for you all, you even had the nerve to kidnap our prince my baby brother!¡±
The blonde haired man only had a heavenly smile on his face and said ¡°Oh is that so? As far as I''m aware your prince was kidnapped by slavers was he not? Therefore you Demons breached the alliance by attacking our capital first it is within our rights to attack back¡±
After the blonde man finished talking, the curly haired man nearly bite his tongue from the lies that the Hero King was feeding him.
¡°Bastard! There is no way that slavers could have those many resources and be that organized.¡±
¡±There''s no point in talking with trash like you Humans, we will settle this with our blades.¡±
The blonde hair man laughed inside, then slowly walked towards his army.
In union they both shouted.
¡°All units charge!¡±
The violet colored troops circled their enemy to surround them, suddenly drops of water could be heard it got louder and louder into the sky turned red with thunder striking down everywhere. It was as if the gods themselves were angry, the violet colored troops circle was ruined dropping their morals leaving them open for the golden army to smash through them like a storm.
The curly haired man yelled.
¡°Don''t panic! What would her majesty say if we lost to these humans? Would you all be able to face your families back home calling yourselves Knights of Soul North with this disgrace under your belts?¡±
¡°NO!¡±
The violet army morale became even more than it was originally, they pushed forward slaughtering any soldier that got in their path, victory was in their grasp.
¡°Hero King I challenge you to a duel! Even with the little honor you have left someone like you must know that as a Knight you can''t refuse a duel between equals!¡±
The Blonde Lion was trapped between the enemy army, he only had 500 troops left compared to their 1600, to outsiders it seemed like the Hero King would have no chance left in winning this battle but he hasn''t yet used his trump card.
¡°You must have gotten cocky Malor''cas to think you would even call yourself my equal, don''t tell me you didn''t notice.¡±
The curly haired man was confused by the Blonde Lions words.
¡°What do you mean Hero King? In terms of numbers mine far outnumbers yours, also in terms of sword skill I dare say we''re close to equal.¡±
The Blonde Lion only laughed like a mad man and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly a little boy with smooth, silky, long black hair, and pale skin with glowing blood red eyes, a mask which covered his whole face expect his eyes and mouth, a long crimson horn that was shaped like a V, with a black robe that was covered with complete darkness and chains, appeared from within the army.
¡°This is what I meant, I won''t even need to lift a finger to wipe out your whole army, my perfect weapon Mortimer show them what happens when you defy The Hero King!¡±
¡°Yes master.¡±
The boy took one step and instantly all the troops surrounding him lost sight of him only for him to reappear and take the life of hundreds, it was as though the boy was an angel of death when ever you looked into his eyes you could only see an endless amount of pain, despair, and hatred, their unique color drew you in when you would awake from your daze your head would all ready be separated from your shoulder.

Black flames shot everywhere devouring anything it touched even allies all near him expect The Hero King and Malor''cas, feared this youngster who looked like he hasn''t even turned 14.
This went on for another 5 minutes into he met his match, yes it was The Champion of The Soul North Knights Malor''cas.
¡°Why do you attack your own kind? Siding with those pieces of trash, better yet who taught you that fighting style?¡±
The boy remained silent only dashing forward overpowering his opponent, in terms of experience Malor''cas surpassed the youngster by a lot, even then it was hard for him to overcome his opponents unnatural strength and speed, the only thing he had to relie on was to parry, dodge, and block his opponent into he ran out of energy.
¡°Hmph how long are you going to act like a coward and run away is that all you Knights are good at? Fine if you won''t attack me then I''ll come to you full force¡±
The boy whose body which was covered in complete darkness before turned into a bloody, bright scarlet red color.
Malor''cas started getting hit more and more, he knew something had changed about his opponent, if he got hit anymore he would be finished, the only chance he had of winning was to use the ultimate technique taught to him by his mother and ruler.
The boy kicked towards his opponent, with sword slash after sword slash into he finally put all his might into his last strike intending to kill this man in one hit, Malor''cas closely watched the boy waiting for the chance to counter-attack.
The boy''s sword fused into a mixture of darkness and fire magic aiming towards his opponent heart, it was then that Malor''cas turned his body left facing his opponent, turning his sword in a right bow stance, swinging his sword up with his back hand, performing an upper cut slash named Sun Strike.
The sword filled with golden light clashed with the unholy blade at the end of the exchange only one of them was left standing, the other was dead.
¡°Your blood lust was the reason of your defeat, If you didn''t want to kill me so badly that you would risk leaving yourself wide open then maybe you would¡¯ve been able to see I was using your attack power against you, that is the Sun Strike.¡±
In the distance you could hear a blonde haired man clapping his hands.
¡°As expected from the Knight of her majesty, so that is the famous Sun Strike the Demon clan is famous for.¡±
¡°What of it?¡±
¡°Speaking of clans, Truly a shame, if only I captured my slave a couple of years later maybe he would have learned the technique as well.¡±
¡°You can''t mean?¡±
The curly haired man went towards the boy and removed the mask from his face.
¡°A slave device! My brother...how could I?¡±
¡°That''s right hahahahahaha! You killed the very brother that you started this war for in the first place, this is why you''ll never be my equal in..¡±
Before the blonde haired man could finish his speech, the curly haired man sent a sword strike which resembled a shock wave at him.
The blonde haired man deflected it in an instant.
¡°Enough talk bastard! I''ll fucking kill you!¡±
To be continued.

PS Mods if any of the cursing needs to be censored then feel free to.
Why do you kill? Rebirth.
POV from now on is Mortimer/Jariel Mort
A black haired youth was laying in his own blood, cursing the gods who decided for him to die today, also on how he was so close to finally getting his revenge on his enemy The Hero King.
''This red liquid I felt it so many times before...but this time is different, I...am I''m dying aren''t I? I
could accept dying of my own will, but thanks to this damn mask, I fought my brother for that bastards sake.''
''The plan that I have been working on for 4 long years ruined in just a moment, damn! What the hell have I been training my ass off for, If not for that damn spirit beast Dargoth (Dragon) suddenly notifying him of my brother attack, Hero King wouldn''t have bought us to war so quickly, I would''ve been able to call back Lupita for her to deactivate this mask, and help my brother in killing that fiend!''
''Instead the opposite happened because of the slave device forcing me not to reveal anything about myself I had to fight him to death ending with me being cut down, the look of despair brother had when he took off my mask made me want to kill Hero King even more, honestly my only hope is that brother can get over my death and finish what I started, Lupita should be coming towards my location if she assists brother in fighting against Hero king there is a 40 percent chance they might win.
''Shit, I feel my consciousness fading I can''t die like this, If I had one more chance to do this over I know I could succeed.''
The boys vision went dark, this was the day Jariel Mort passed on to the next world to start anew, he found himself floating in an endless space hearing millions of voices yelling, whispering, crying, laughing, begging, he found himself unable to move his body if he still had one, nor let out a sound.
''Where am I?''
¡°Hmm, Full name Jariel Mort, Age 11, Blood Type-B, Innocents killed 6084, Birth Place South Wing Castle, Died Lakeden outskirts, Cause of Death Electrical Energy Infused attack to the heart.¡±
¡°Titles given by victims Reaper, Devil, Monster, Angel of Death, Savior, Spy, Demon, Prince, Friend.¡±
All Jariel could see were cold, colorless, eyes starting at him from within the darkness with the presence of a godly being, the eyes voice was neither female or male.
¡°Impressive, tell me why did you murder them? Do you even know their names? Anger, Greed, An Accident I doubt it, or maybe some sick fetish,
Jariel only looked at the eyes with a displeased expression.
The figure laughed as if they realized their mistake slowly the eyes voice started to become softer and softer.
¡°Ah that''s right you can''t speak I''ll fix that for you.¡±
Jariel Mort felt as if he got something that was stolen from him returned, after getting out of deep thought he decided to answer the eyes question with the truth after all he had nothing left to hide in this world.
¡°Why I killed those people I had many reasons, my goal, fear, orders given to me, hope and trust placed upon me by many, but the main reason I killed those people was to survive, in the world I was born in the strong prey upon the weak, they''re like snakes even the most honest and heroic of us all get poisoned by their venom, If I didn''t kill them then they would kill me even if not directly.¡±
This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
¡°You say that I get enjoyment from their deaths and don''t even know their names, but I do I live with that burden and their hatred every single day I walk the earth, Alcimos Arrau, Goldkopf Botin, Androbulos Kajetan, Mylle Leger, Amicie Ferrario, Etxauarren Gassinger etc, some were friends, family, even enemies, it might seem to you like I enjoy killing but to me I have lived with it almost my whole life and the amount that I have seen from it disgusts me, the hundreds of way I have been taught how to kill someone where to cripple them, into it was beaten into my head would break the spirits of many others.
He took a deep breath then.
¡°But...I overcame it all walking forward in life in order to survive, in order to live another day, in order to get my revenge on that person for all the pain he has caused me to return it back to him ten times worse then what he did to me, I just can''t accept dying like this without bringing that person down with me.¡±
The eyes had a look of shock, as if they weren''t expecting such an answer from a mortal being.
I see..I see, as a gift for you surprising me with your answer I''ll ask you one question, if you were given a second chance to do it all over again would you?
In an instant Jariel Replied with ¡°In a heartbeat¡±
¡°So be it then I''ll give you the chance to reincarnate back in time to where you can find the person that you want revenge so badly on, in order for you leave this world you won''t be able to use the same body, since the god of death marked you as dead, I''ll provide you with the body of one of my newly born servants.¡±
¡°You''ll possess two gifts one is my white flames they''ll fuse with your black becoming Grey, at first they''ll be weak into you grow older and stronger, the second is the ability to absorb other beings do be careful absorbing too many they''ll start to crash with your mental mind, you also can''t absorb living/undead beings who are stronger than you.
¡°I''ll give you some advice when you find the person you''re searching for look beyond the surface, there may be more to the sword which meets the eye.¡±
Well bye now, oh yeah before you go my name is Inari Okami, don''t forget it do entertain me.
''I still can''t figure out if that''s a girl or boy.''
¡°Yes.¡±
To be Continued.

Countdown: 10957 days left to.....
He found himself in a cold place like he was frozen solid in ice yet it had no affect on him, rather it felt conformable to him instead the boy was enjoying this feeling for a couple of months or so, into he felt himself being pulled from his paradise by fury paws when he looked up he saw a fox with a silver coat of fur and long pointed ears, it somewhat resembled a human yet it only had the build of a human and everything else was completely a fox.
It inspected him a bit with it''s light green eyes turning away in anger instantly the fox threw him towards a cat with black fur, our hero was two inches away from knocking the cat in the head into it caught him with it''s hands which surprised him, unlike the fox the cat only had a tail, cat ears, fur, and dark purple/black eyes that resembled a cat''s, other than that he was completely human, he was even above his brother back when he was alive in terms of looks with tan skin and a good body build, of course when he tried to figure out what this creature was it was hard at first into it hit him in his past he met creatures that were half beast and half man people named them beastmen.
When the black haired beastman looked towards him a smug smile quickly went on his face as he looked towards the fox, the fox only glared daggers of killing intent at the black haired man unwilling to admit his defeat, the silver fox inspected the baby with his eyes more and then you could see a smile come on it, the black haired cat only looked confused as to why the fox was smiling.
¡°Looks like neither of us won the bet Klein, my son is a hybrid he takes after both me and your sister.¡±
¡°What? Kel You must be joking his fur is pitch black like mine and Kari, there''s no way he''s an Arctic fox.¡±
¡°Arctic Fox? Hah! I apologize for my laugh of course you wouldn''t know you were out on a mission taking care of the blood demons from the north, you should take a closer look at him.¡±
¡°Ugh...don''t remind me those red haired demons were too powerful, they fought without even caring if their bodies got damaged at all as though they were mindless beasts only seeking to kill more and more prey drinking the blood of their victims to increase their own strength, even against one of their armies captains I was having a hard time, if not for my troops better equipment we would''ve been finished, but do tell me what I missed exactly.¡±
After the silver haired fox explained what he learned the cat''s mouth was wide open as though he was in an another world, after 10 minutes or so he finally came back to reality.
¡°I can''t believe this he''s blessed by Lord Okami, no wonder this child has such strange eyes, and those markings what do they mean? But still it doesn''t explain why he has white fur around his body, normally if a hybrid is born it takes only one set of fur not two, could it be?¡±
Inwardly the black haired man was secretly thinking could it be this child was related to his friend and brother-in law ancestors evil bloodline? He only thought about it for a mere second then discarded it there could be no way his adorable nephew could share the same blood as those tricksters.
¡°Let''s not worry about this now, all will be revealed to those who wait, for now let Kari and my son rest, before that I shall give him a name hmm I know your name will be Koji....Koji Leon.¡±
| Congratulations! You have Been Given The Name: Koji Leon. |
¡°That''s a fine name I''m sure Kari will love it when she wakes up, but for now I''ll go fetch the ale.¡±
¡°Haha I''ll join you right after I report the news to our king.¡±
With that both his Uncle and Father left the room leaving only him and his sleeping mother in the room, when he finally heard the door close he started to think about all the information he has heard.
''Does this mean that the reincarnation was a success? If so then I must quickly regain my strength and kill Hero King since I was reborn on the same day as Hero King then I should have 25 years before he wages war against the other kingdoms, that will be more than enough time to deal him a complete defeat.''
''Still Blood Demons I never heard of them before, this world really is a giant mystery.''
After saying that he started to fall to the realm of sleep.
Days, Weeks, Months, passed in a blink of an eye, Koji was all ready 9 months old, after training with this new body improving his leg strength he is able to walk while only tripping every once in a while, his family and the other town people have been pretty calm so far, of course his uncle who is a General under the Beast King is still at war with the Blood Demons in the north but neither sides are making progress after one reclaims the city of JI the other gets it back leading to them ending up in a stalemate, therefore the Blood Demons agreed to not attack JI as long as the Beastmen supply them with resources, the Beastmen agreed, temporary ending the flames of war.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Since Koji couldn''t stand not being able to ask his relatives questions due to being a baby, he revealed to his family that he could speak 2 weeks ago, when his parents found out they went telling everyone in the capital about it at first some of the people didn''t believe them but after hearing Koji speaking fluently the people started to refer to him as a Genius, of course others wouldn''t respond as nicely and called him a freak of nature due to his unusual eye color, snow white hair and black and white fur, adding being able to talk not even at the age of 1 they tried to declare him a Demon of course whenever someone called him that in his father''s presence they would be executed or imprisoned in an instant.
Right now Koji was sitting in his uncle''s leap preparing to ask him a few questions as his reward for studying hard.
¡°Who are The Blood Demons and why are they waging war with our Beast Kingdom?¡±
His Uncle was slightly surprised, confused that a child who isn''t even 2 would know such information, then again when that child is acknowledged as a genius by the people themselves he can''t help but laugh at himself for being too foolish to realize that sooner, therefore he wouldn''t treat this boy as a child instead he would treat him as a man and answer his question without censoring a thing.
¡°Hm..well where should I start? I guest I''ll just start at the beginning The Blood Demons are a sub-specie of the Incubus/Succubus mostly males inherit the true power of their race but in rare cases female do as well, long ago an Ancient Vampire no longer a man now a beast named Cullen turned and raped The Queen of The Succubus due to that a child was born another male named Luke an evil tyrant who ruled the Succubus with an iron fist into his passing, before he died he left offspring¡¯s that also had children therefore the Blood Demons were born, the scary part about them were at the age of 13 they developed an insane desire to feed on stronger and stronger opponents after taking all the blood of their victims it would make them even more powerful therefore causing us to lose more troops and money in the process they were getting harder to kill leaving entire dead cities in their wake, the redder their hair was told us how many victims they killed and how powerful the Blood Demon was, this caused the kingdoms over the world a problem if the Blood Demons were allowed to run free potentially all of us could be wiped out, so that''s why we made a decision all male Succubus were to be killed in order to stop the increase of their race eventually killing them off completely, it may seem heartless but it was the only choice we were left with.
¡°The reason for their attack Is quite simple the Blood Demons homeland is a desert filled with nothing but sand and the sun weaking them but also keeping them away from any other people, that they may kill for power, now think about this what would happen if you trapped a hunger beast in a cage for months, letting it strave without a single drop of food, what would happen if it found a whole plate of meat in front of it when it''s released.¡±
¡°I see, so that''s why The Blood Demons keep attacking us over and over, thank you for your knowledge uncle.¡±
¡°Your welcome, it''s getting a bit late you should head to bed, I''ll answer the rest of your questions tomorrow...if anything happens just know that your uncle will always be on your side.¡±
¡°All right good night uncle.¡±
After heading to bed Koji couldn''t help but feel uneasy about how unusual his uncle was acting, usually he would joke around or hide his true feelings, but this time his uncle had an expression of sadness like he was troubled about something you could see it as clear as day on his face signifying this was something important, of course he couldn''t put all his attention on his uncle since he still needed to train in order to get his revenge.
POV elsewhere.
A man with blonde hair and scarlet red eyes that glowed in the dark had a devilish expression on his face, while he was talking to another man with Pitch Black Hair and Dark Purple eyes.
¡°Heh, good work I was scared at first that you would betray us like your sister did when she married that Fox and had a kid with him, but enough of that how is the plan proceeding Klein?¡±
¡°Thank you sir, I''ll always be loyal to the ones who saved my life unlike Kari, our side should be ready to invade the Capital any time you desire millord.¡±
¡°Great make sure you bring that brat along with his mother with you as well I''ll make an example of them.¡±
¡°......Yes sir.¡±
