The Demon Lord Reborn
Chapter 01: Vanaheim

At the bottom of the cave shrouded in darkness, a black-haired man with gray-colored narrowed eyes lay unconscious on top of a boulder. Currently, he wears a black fedora hat, black suit, black pants and black leather shoes.

In the middle of his stupor, a very beautiful and polite sounding female voice appeared and instantly woke him up.

[Starting synchronization with the owner of the body... 5%... 15%T%... 25%T%... 50%... 75%T%... 100% Synchronization works perfectly. Demon King, Lord Siyah Peace, welcome to the game world, Vanaheim! You get a new player bonus.]

“Who are you...?! No, more importantly, where am I? I've never seen this place.” Speak Peace softly while sitting with difficulty. After sitting down, he corrected the position of his federal hat that had been chaotic when he woke up.

[Congratulations! F-level sword, successfully obtained. Congrats! S-level skill, Collect, was successfully obtained.]

“That voice came up again, who are you? Why do you know my name? The bat above doesn't seem to hear your beautiful voice. Actually, where did your voice come from?” Peace said while looking around that felt unfamiliar to him.

[I'll answer all your questions. For now, I don't have a name. I'm able to know your name because of the synchronization that was previously done. My voice comes from yourself, so the bats can't hear my voice. Now, you are in the game world, Vanaheim, precisely at the bottom of the Zor cave, a cave located in the middle of the forest. You were sent to the world of Vanaheim by God, Creator of All.]

“God, yes... I thought he was just a human-created fiction. Then, I still have 1 more question. What are you inside me for?” Peace said with a face that seemed to be unafraid of God, Creator of All.

[I am the concept of information itself, I was given the task by God to help you in living life in this new world, Vanaheim, a world where anything can happen. In addition, I've integrated with you, but this does not mean that you have become the concept of information itself, you remain yourself.]

“So, yes... I have an idea! What if I named you to make it easier for us to communicate, but what, yes... Do you have any suggestions?” Peace said while thinking hard to give the woman a good name.

[I have 3 suggestions, please choose one of them. First, Servant. Second, Alice. Third or last, Emerald. If you like one, I'm proud to use that name.]

“Emerald, yes... Then from now on your name is Emerald!” Peace said after thinking quite briefly. Feeling itchy on his back, he positioned his hands like a grunt and then moved to his back, but strangely, he even felt like he was holding a sword.

“What is this? Sword, yes?” Peace said curiously. Impatiently, he pulled the sword before him from his back. Instantly Peace was immediately stunned by the beauty of the sword sheath that was very well maintained, black with gold ornaments, so it felt very luxurious. This sword did not feel heavy which made it easy to use.

“Interesting, really an interesting sword, yet why is a sword as good as this on my back?” Peace said as he opened the sword sheath and put it on his side. After opening the sword sheath, he was again amazed by the blade of the sword which was very sharp and well maintained.

[That sword you get from new player bonuses. God gives all new players a random bonus to ease their lives in the world of Vanaheim, some can axe and some can bow arrows, meanwhile, you can sword.]

“I understand, God is good, yes, even for a Demon King though. I hope, one of my subordinates is also sent to Vanaheim world to accompany me... Right too, when it comes out I'll look for them.” Peace said curiously.

“Then I don't have to linger at the bottom of this boring cave, Emerald! Can you lead me out? It should be, right?” Peace asked as he slowly stood on the big rock.

[Of course you can. But before that, I need to show you the Status you have, so that you can find out how strong you are and not rash when fighting a stronger enemy.]

Suddenly a hologram appeared before Peace which astonished him, because in the previous world there was no such thing.

...[.Yes/No]...

“What is this? What am I supposed to do? Yes or no, which one should I choose?” Peace asked in confusion.

[The hologram in front of you is formed from the information I sent you, by pressing the Yes button, the information containing your own Status will appear, therefore, choose the Yes button.]

Upon hearing that, according to Emerald's suggestion, Peace pressed the Yes button slowly which instantly disappeared, replaced with Peace's Status.

...[.Status]...

...Name : Siyah Peace...

...Race : Demons...

...Skill : Collect...

...Weapon : Sword...

...Level 1...

...Inventory Statistics...

...[.Exit]...

“Wah, so this is my Status, yes... Name Siyah Peace, age 17, Demon race, Skill Collect, Sword weapon, Level? Just one, yeah. The inventory? The statistics? Whatisit? And lastly, the exit button.” Peace spoke curiously, accompanied by a question.

[Levels like tiers, the higher your Level, the more special you are in the eyes of other players, besides, Levels are useful for passively increasing strength. Inventory is a useful button to store goods, You just need to hold the item with the intention of putting it into the inventory, and automatically the item goes into Your inventory. You can remove the stored item by entering the inventory button and then taking it manually or by simply having the intention to remove it from the inventory. Meanwhile, the Stats button is useful for increasing your strength manually by only using Fragments that can be obtained after defeating the enemy.]

“Ribet very, but your explanation is very useful, thank you.” Peace said while pressing the Statistics button because of his curiosity that could not be held back anymore.

...[.Statistic]...

...Fragment :0...

...STR :1 [+]...

...AGI :1 [+]...

...VIT : 1 [+]...

...MP :100 [+]...

...HP 100...

...[.Exit]...

“Fragmentku zero, yes... STR 1'S? AGI 1'S? VIT 1'S? 100 MP? HP 100'S? What does all this mean?” Peace asked in confusion because of the many things she did not understand.

[STR or Strength can increase attack power by pressing the plus button on his right, instantly the attack power you have increases to 2, as well as others. AGI or Agility can increase the speed, attack speed, moving speed and reaction speed against the opponent's attack. VIT or Vitality can increase physical defense and capacity and regenerate HP or Health Point which is blood. To issue a Skill, you need a certain amount of MP or Mana Point, if the amount of MP does not match or runs out, then you cannot issue a Skill until the MP returns up or full. Many explanations.]
