World Introduction

While sitting on the house floor. Shin trying to think again about what to do next. He's trying to recollect memory from the demons he possesses right now.

After some time, he grasps the current situation.

The town he resides right now is called Corsalin. This is one of Humankind's main towns where the majority of the citizen is a trader. As said before, it is only around the time the Demon Emperor got killed. Exactly, just around one year after that great war. The human race now can re. The high-level demon is exterminated, while the other leftover demons got captured as slaves. With the collapse of the demon clan, now the majority of land on the continent is possessed by a human.

Shin's death is covered with the story that he's using his trump card, a forbidden ancient spell that traded his own life to die together with the Demon Emperor. His heroic story is known all around the world.  He is titled one of the legendary heroes. His ten party members got titled as heroes who will be replacing him to protect humankind. Each of them got a chance to choose a town to govern.

This Corsalin Town is governed by the Sagi, the hunter, who are experts in archery. He is a part of Shin's party and has a good relationship with him. He has the same age as Shin and was once saved by him when his village get raided by the demon army. Shin found him there alone, stalling the hundred demon army with his archery while the other villager tried to escape. One arrow for three heads of a demon. His skill successfully amazed Shin.

There is additional information about the Shapeshifter-Demon race, even though the high-level one can blend in with the human race perfectly. It only applies outside the Arham Royal Capital Holy City. If he set foot there, no matter how strong he is, he will absolutely have died there.

According to his memory, there is an ancient magic array arranged around the city. This array is set up by one of the legendary heroes since back then, far before Shin came to this world. The effect of this array is it will recognize all the demons inside its range and will be struck with divine lightning that will banish them instantly.

This is all the information Shin can get. Now he's wondering if he should meet Sagi or not. After thinking about it again, he chooses the latter. He needs to stabilize his power first.

For one to increase their power, usually they need to train, hunt, kill or do anything that will gain their experience. But for Shin, because the god still let him keep his all ability, he will regain all of his power after meditating for a day.

The next day, Shin fully regain his power. Now he can be classified high-level demon king, a three-stage above high-level demon, and just below Demon Emperor. His hero's status is actually already almost equal to the Demon Emperor, but he doesn't know how to transform into Demon Emperor.

He then realized there is a special attribute for a high-level demon king in y Shapeshifter race. Not only can disguise themselves freely, but he can make a doppelgänger too. It is just out of nowhere that this ability comes to his mind suddenly.

Actually, this is how the demon clan learns their ability. Once they reach a certain stage of rank, their new ability just comes to their mind.

Demon hierarchy was different from humans. In the human world, they are classified by class according to their innate talent. The class is Warrior, Magician, Archer, Assassin, and many more. Each class can be learned, but it will take more time to master. There is nine power rank, and it is determined by their battle power.

For example, when Shin comes into this world, he is gifted with a special innate talent that will let him be able to master all classes. But he chooses not to learn them all and focuses on the magician class till the end. He mastered all black and white spells, in addition, there is spell space that he gets from legendary heroes' inheritance. All of this only take him three years and make him rank nine magicians. He wants to defeat the Demon Emperor as soon as possible. God promises him to grant any of his wishes if he can do that.

Now, he removes the sleep spell from the house madam. He wants to interrogate her to get additional information, viewed from the human side. To prevent her from a panic attack, Shin cast a mid-tier hypnosis spell.

Aside from the same information before, Shin gets additional new information. After the war, King Vayne, the king of humans, held a symbolic funeral for Shin. Shin's body vanishes from the world after he died, but his weapon Allundra Staff is still there. So king Vayne buried it along with the other legendary heroes and royalty who have fallen before him. The funeral is held at the back of the Royal Palace, all of the citizens are invited to come.

After that, king Vayne introduces the ten human heroes who lead the army on the raid of Demon-Emperor Castle with Shin the heroes. Abra and Libra, the twins, rank eighth in the black and white magician. Marko, Reks, and Ashra the trio rank eight swordsmen. Virtuo and Jorks are the rank eight royal knights. Sagi the rank eight archer. Zerd the rank eight assassins and the last Meru the rank eight holy priestesses. Each of them rewarded several towns to govern. Only Meru assign to reside on Arham.

Just a month ago, Meru the priestesses finally reach rank nine. It makes her now the strongest human in the world. All of the heroes were invited again to join in celebrating her at Arham. Sagi is already going there. From Corsalin to Arham, it will take a week by horse.

Enough with the information, Shin's now planning to head out to walk around the town. He released the madam from the spell and left the house after changing his appearance again. This time he goes with a young man with a scholar's face.

The town is already back to its peaceful time. It looks like there is nothing was happened yesterday. Shin is looking for a mercenary guild house. He needs some money to live, and the guild is the best place to make some money.

After looking around, he found the guild house and go into it. Inside, the place is packed with drunk people. Many of them don't care about Shin. Shin hides his demon aura and manipulates it. From the outside, now he only looks like a rank four at best. It is equal with many of them here.

Shin goes to the receptionist and has a talk with the female receptionist.

“Simsalabbim”

Shin says this code quietly to her.

Believe it or not, this is a special code given to all mercenary guilds by one of the legendary heroes back then. The one who knows these codes are only the legendary heroes and guild. It is the rule since back then.

With the death of all legendary heroes, of course, this will make her surprised. Just before she can open her mouth.

Silent.

Shin cast a low-tier silent spell that will make one can't speak.

The female receptionist then makes a sorry gesture and leads him to the guild office on the second floor to meet with the Guild Master. This is a standard operating procedure known by all receptionists.

“What is happening here?”

A brawny old man with short gray hair is in front of them. He then noticed that his staff can't speak.

“Hmm? Released!”

He undoes Shin's silent spell.

She then runs from Shin and hides beside the Guild Master while explaining to him.

“Report sir, this one knows that secret code”

Shin doesn't care about explanation and takes a sit waiting the things clear.

“Which secret code?”

That Guild Master asks her to make it clear.

“The code that only legendary heroes know!”

Hearing this phrase. The Guild Master was in fury. He doesn't dare to look down on Shin and release all his power to intimidate him. His aura shows a rank-seven martial artist.

“Can you explain where you hear this code?”

“Of course, I hear it from my own ear”

Shin changed his appearance again. This time he uses his own face. This face makes the guild master frightened.

“Shapeshifter Demon race! How dare you to use the legendary hero's face!”.

The Guild Master believes the one in front of him is a Shapeshifter Demon race. There is no magic in this world that let one change his own appearance, and the shapeshifter Demon race is already a well-known demon race by humankind. So without much thinking, he goes to fight with Shin.

While the Guild Master charges at Shin. The receptionist girl trying to run and looking for help.

Shin stands up and only appoints his right hand toward the Guild Master punch. While the other hand cast a sleep spell on the girl.

“Mana Shield! How can you demon use this!?”

The Guild Master tries to land several more punches with the hope, that he can break Shin's shield. This is the first time he sees a demon who can use a mana shield. After ten seconds, there is still no hope. He is already run out of mana.

Shin as a former rank-nine legendary hero still has much mana. Even more, after he becomes a high-rank demon king, the mana is still the same.

Mana is required to cast magic. All class is using it, not only the magician. For example, is this Guild Master, his mana is used to hasten his punch, so he can make more punches in a second.

The Guild Master finally stops his punch. He realizes that this demon is stronger than him.

“Can we have a normal conversation now?”

Shin asks him nicely.
