When Hiro opens the gates and sees hundreds of small abandoned houses with a huge wall behind it, ten dead villager bodies in front of the gate, and a hundred villagers wearing tattered clothes with broken weapons all point at Hiro.
“L-l-leave demon,” says the villager that was in front of the rest.
“Who would you be?” asks Hiro.
“My name is Dan, I am the village chief,” answers Dan.
Dan looks like he's in his late 40's, wearing tattered old faded blue clothes, greying black hair, hunched over holding a walking stick for support.
“I didn’t need your name, you insignificant human,” says Hiro.
“You can’t say that to the chief,” says a villager.
“Yeah, just who do you think you are?” yells another villager.
“I am Hiro, a demon lord,” answers Hiro.
“D-d-did he just say d-demon lord,” says a villager.
“That’s impossible, the last demon lord died ages ago,” states Dan.
“Do you intend me to prove who I am,” asks Hiro menacingly.
“No, we believe you, those men out there were royal guards. Their power surpasses a normal man 10,000 times over and you killed them all,” says Dan.
“They were stronger than 10,000 normal men? No way, I don’t want to believe it,” thought Hiro in shock.
“Mister demon lord, can you please help us?” asks a little boy limping over to him in tattered clothes looking malnourished.
The boy looks to be four or five years old with black hair, old faded clothes, blind in one eye and a broken leg.
“Why aren’t you afraid of me? Leave, go to your parents,” says Hiro.
The boy points to the dead bodies “They won’t wake up, I keep trying to wake them up but they won’t get up, can you please help us mister?” asks the boy almost in tears.
“Hmm, maybe let me check something first,” says Hiro, opening his inventory.
As this happens time completely stops.
Hiro looks at his other new skills: [Overwrite a passive skill that can allow the caster to overwrite or change their or other people’s skills, abilities, or status effects]. [Unlimited magic, a passive skill that allows the caster's MP to never deplete]. [Ability gain a passive skill that allows the caster to learn new skills, techniques, abilities, spells, etc]. [Magic erase a skill that erases all magic power within the range of the caster current range: as far as the caster can see]. [Intimidating presence an active skill the puts unending fear into the casters enemy, there are five levels, level 1 will make the caster’s enemy fear for ten minutes, level 2 will make the caster’s enemy lose the will to fight the caster, level 3 will make the caster’s enemy listen to any command given by the caster as if its gospel, level 4 will make the caster’s enemy wish for death, level 5 will make the caster’s enemy lose the will to ever pick up a weapon again].
[Ability amplify an active skill that amplifies all of the power of the caster times ten]. [Overpower an active skill that cancels all power with a lower level than the caster’s current level: 1000]. [Observe an equipable passive skill that allows the caster to see the level and most powerful skill of anyone the caster looks at], [Indestructible mind and body, a passive skill that makes it almost impossible to be affected by mental attacks, physical is unknown]. Also, there are a few skills that have [???] on them and their description says:
[unknown skill].
“Wow…..my skills are broken?! but what are these unknown skills,” thought Hiro, shocked as he closes his inventory.
“Mister?” says the boy
“Drel get away from that “thing,” it's dangerous,” yells a random villager.
“[Overwrite]!” yells Hiro.
A message box pops up in front of Hiro that reads “[You have used overwrite a skill that affects the world, skills that affect the world are the strongest skills, but they also come with consequences. The consequence for using overwrite is the curse of immortality, which means you will never die, grow old, and you must watch everything wilt and die forever being the caretaker of this world, not knowing death, once you accept no power in all 20 realms can reverse it]”. Then another message appears and reads “[Do you accept] [ Yes or No ].”
“It’s official I am a broken character,” thought Hiro, pressing yes.
Another message appears and reads “[Which skill would you like to overwrite].” Hiro clicks on [Demonic Tongue] and another message appears saying "[This skill is a curse to those too powerful for the world to handle “Overwrite is not powerful enough to “completely” change this skill, do you wish to morph this skill?]
“Morph? What does that mean, examine,” thought Hiro.
Another message appears and reads “[Morphing is the process of changing the qualities of a skill, if this skill is morphed it will change the effect of this skill from hating humans to either: Angels, Elves, Demons, Goblins, Slimes, Spirits, Hybrids, Gods or any other creature in the multiverse]”
“Hmmm, Angels and Gods would be an obvious choice, but why are Demons here? That would be counterproductive, well anyway in the game I killed countless angels so this choice makes sense,” thinks Hiro clicking on Angels.
The Skill changes to a title called [Demonic Angel Slayer], [This title makes it so any angel the title holder encounters will have no ability to fight against the title holder, the only exceptions are Irregular Angels, Archangels and Fallen Angels].
“Irregular angels? What are those, I've never heard of them before,” says Hiro out loud.
“Those are the heretic angels that lost their divinity and were cast from their post, they are the worst, if you’re with them leave now,” says a villager.
“Hmm, so Irregular Angels are more hated than me, however I think they fear me more than they hate me?” thought Hiro.
“I work with no one, I am a demon lord,” says Hiro as his [Intimidating Presence level 1] activates.
“Please don't hurt us, we just need help,” pleads Dan.
“Mister?” repeats the Drel.
“Boy, do you want your parents back?” asks Hiro.
“Yes, can you wake them up mister?” replies Drel.
“I can bring all those people back to life but at a price,” says Hiro.
“Liar, only a god could do that, and you’re no god!” yells a villager.
Hiro uses [short range teleportation] to move in front of the villager,
"I can do things your puny mind couldn't even fathom," Says Hiro.
"I-I-I-I-If you can do it please do s-s-s-s-sir," Says the villager.
"Like I was saying I do have 1 condition," says Hiro with a wicked smile on his face.
"And what would that be?" asks Dan fearfully.
Hiro teleports back to dan within a millisecond of the question being asked.
"Information of course," answers Hiro.
"I'm sorry Mr.Demon Lord we don't know anything that would please you, but we can try" answers Dan.
"What is this world's currency and what is the monetary value of each coin," asks Hiro.
"Is that all?" asks Dan in shock at such a simple question.
"1 question per life" answers Hiro.
"It's child's play to revive low level NPC's, this is a steal and I get information about the world, score!" Thought Hiro.
"OK sir, well the bronze coin is the least, then it's the silver coin which is worth 1000 bronze coins, after that there's a gold coin which most of the people in this village have never even seen which is worth 100 silver coins, then there's the diamond coin that is very rare but is also worth very much, you could buy 5 castles with 1 coin, and finally there is the platinum coin which is fairly new currency but is worth about 5 diamond coins," answers Dan.
"Thank you," says hiro.
"Are you going to bring someone back now?" asks Dan hesitantly.
"I will bring everyone back once all my questions are answered," says Hiro with his intimidating presence still on.
"You're right, my apologies, please continue" says Dan.
"For my second question where is this place?" Asks Hiro.
"This is the capital in the heart of the Gale Kingdom" answers Dan.
"Then why does this place look so abandoned?" asks Hiro.
"I'm sorry to have not informed you but you are in the outer area of the capital where the commoners live, when the capital gets raided we are the ones who get attacked while the guards are arriving but the only guards that come here are the ones outside and the ones who use us for their own gain" answers Dan.
"Outer area? Corrupt guards? Commoners? this place is worse than hell" thought Hiro.
"What do you mean outer area? Asks Hiro.
"There are 3 main areas in the capital: the Outer area for commoners, the inner area for the nobility and the rich, and the core area for royals and their distinguished guests," answers Dan.
"Does this world have a level system?" Asks Hiro.
"Yes, we do have a level system" answers Dan.
"What is the highest level in this village?"asks Hiro.
"We aren't very high, the highest is probably level 4 at most" answers Dan.
"Thank you for answering my questions," says Hiro, turning off his intimidating presence.
"What about the people?" Asks Dan.
"[Lowest level phoenix rebirth]" says Hiro.
When Hiro uses this ability the whole village went up in flames: houses, people and the bodies.
"S-s-sir why would you do this?" Says Dan crying.
"Well, to be reborn you must come from the ashes and I figured why not all of you," says Hiro as Dan gets engulfed in flames.
The flames start to die down and no one is injured and their clothes are clean and looking new.
"W-what happened?" asks Dan, shocked.
"You've been reborn," says Hiro patting off a small flame on his shoulder.
"Why did you not burn?" asks Dan.
"Because I'm far beyond your levels," answers Hiro.
At that moment Dan realized he was now at level 23 also he now looks 20 years younger and doesn't need his stick to move.
"HOW DID I GO UP 20 LEVELS!!!, AND WHY DO I FEEL SO YOUNG!!!" yells Dan.
"Oh that? It's a side effect of the rebirth, everyone who is burned in this flame increased 20 levels and your life force doubles, but there is a side effect…" Says Hiro as Dan fell to the ground in agonizing pain.
The side effect is that you must relive the most painful event in your life 20 times, everyone fell to the ground in pain except Drel who was still with tears in his eyes saying "mommy, daddy wake up, please."
Drel's eye and leg seem to have healed due to the rebirth.
"This one must already be living his most painful event, poor child" thought Hiro looking at Drel.
Everyone stops moving for a few minutes then they get up, even the bodies that were lying on the ground moments earlier. Drel ran over to 2 people one looks to be a twenty-five year old man who has Grey hair, hazel eyes, slender body, he was 5'11 and was crying, and the other was a twenty-one year old woman who has black hair, blue eyes, she was 5'6 and had her arms open and her eyes watering, she hugged Drel with the man.
"So these are your parents?" Says Hiro walking over to them.
"How are we alive?" asks the man to the woman.
"I brought you back to life, and who would you be?" asks Hiro.
"I am Han and this is my wife Makayla," says the man.
"Who would you be?" asks Han.
"Hello, I'm Hiro and I'm a demon lord," says Hiro smiling.
"A demon lord?" Repeats Makayla.
"Yes and I'm feeling generous so I'll take this village as a part of my kingdom" says Hiro.
"Your what?" Asks Dan.
"My kingdom, oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm the demon lord of Socan the kingdom of demons, but some of my generals are human. As long as you have any use to me you are welcome in my kingdom" explains Hiro.
"How could you bring this whole village to your kingdom?" Asks han.
"I won't, I'll bring my kingdom here" answers hiro with a smile.
As Hiro was going to start the summoning ritual all the villagers say almost instantaneously "No! Please don't!"
"Why not? Does anyone have any problems with my decision?" Asks Hiro stopping.
"The king has an instant war policy in effect," says Dan.
"Instant war policy? What's that?" asks Hiro.
"The Instant war policy was created by the king of Gale, it states that any nation, kingdom, town, or village that is built within 100,000km of gale will be invaded and destroyed within the same hour" answers Dan.
"Why would I, a demon lord, fear a human?" Asks Hiro.
"He is no ordinary human, he controls this entire country and the area around it that's why even most monsters won't come anywhere near this place" replies Dan.
"It's true that I didn't see any type of monster on my way here" thought Hiro.
Hiro pauses to think then says "OK, I've decided"
"Decided what?" Asks Dan curiously.
"I'm going to go see this "king of gale" you all seem to think so highly of..." answers Hiro.
What?!?!? Says everyone all at once.
