The Fate X Dungeon
Ch#01 - Summoning
War has colored the world for a very long time. I don't know for what time, but obviously the war has existed for hundreds, or even thousands of years ago.
A long war between two worlds, one from the light side represented by man as the majority, another from the dark side filled by the monstrous creatures of the dark realm.
A conflict that no longer involves an ideology, nor about who is strong or weak. This is just a war that requires both sides to remain in conflict, where the existence of war itself is as important as breathing for some living things.
Like a show, there is a role that must be played by each side. It just so happens that humanity has to fill the role of ‘baik’, so that all forms of action that are beyond the limits of moral reasonableness will be considered ordinary as long as it is in accordance with the general logic that has been imprinted in everyone's head.
In the general world view, people who live in the region of clumsiness or better known as the Dark Territory are vile creatures, people who are inhuman and cruel. That is how people or in particular the world know about them.
As for the figure who controls the dirty place, the most ruthless and cruel creature, the unforgiving king. People knew him as the absolute ruler of the realm of darkness. The Emperor of Darkness, or the Demon King in Darkness, or Darklord, had countless names to describe him.
As per the predetermined role, then the Demon King was considered as the greatest enemy of mankind. And it's been going on for almost a thousand years. Together with the role given to the demon lord, the figure who ruled over every fist beast. He was the creature with the most fearsome strength, surpassing any other beast of impetus.
In the long history of warfare itself, only the meritorious were able to match the power of the demon lord. As it happens now.
The heroes have repelled an army of darkness led by the cruelest demon lord in history. Currently, an invincible figure since hundreds of years, made cornered by the heroes all the way to the end of the world.
A vast plain that bears witness to the war between man and the dark creatures. The Demon King stared haughtily at every corner. The extremely alarming sight visible as far as the eye could see, was proof that a battle had just taken place some time ago.
The four humans known as heroes who fought in the vanguard of the human race, stood gallantly carrying their respective weapons, besieging the demon king who was already covered in blood and sweat.
The cornered demon king showed no weakness at all, instead he looked at the heroes with a cold expression capable of shrinking the guts of anyone who saw him. However, the four people who were already on a different level from each of his enemies, did not waver in the slightest before the demon king who was full of desire to kill.
The heroes know that they are the only cards of mankind, and nothing allows them to lose this war.
In his place, the Demon King realized that victory was already in his eyes. He smiled fearlessly, yelling at the heroes with a heavy voice from his throat.
“Let me say it once more. Come here, brave Hero, I will show you the hell of despair!!”
...----------------...
In the silence of the stone-walled room, a man opened his eyes. He had just woken up from a dream he had seen so many times, erecting his back that was resting on a stone chair in the middle of the gathering room he had made.
“A nauseating dream, even after seeing it thousands of times. Am I not allowed to have peace here.?” Said the black-haired man in a soft voice.
Walk calmly leaving the room with a chair in the middle of the room, like a throne room. Entering the room is different with four pillars that stand firmly in each corner of the room. A huge magic circle was engraved in the middle of the floor.
It's been a long time since I made this magic circle. I wonder if this magic circle can function properly or not.
He was calm in his heart.
“Alright let's test.”
After saying so, he stood on top of the magic circle.
「On the intermediary of my blood and magic. I opened a gate that connects the two worlds. My voice filled the time. Come here the figure in my mind, make my calling come true!!」
A wise and calm spell came out of his mouth.
A reddish light shone on the magic circle, following the chant of the spell the man spoke. The air shook throughout the room, the light illuminated the entire room that initially did look dark not long ago.
Then in a split second, a mysterious figure appeared from the center of the magic circle. Looks woman with a look and appearance that can captivate any man. His figure was increasingly clear along with the dim light produced by the magic circle.
The wavy black hair that was allowed to fall down, gave off an adult aura that was hard to explain. The smile on his face as he looked at the man who had called him, added to the mysterious yet still graceful impression for the beholder. The minimal clothes expose the entire curve of his body.
It would be natural if every man who sees is made to bend his knees, falling in the charm of beauty and beauty of his body. Yet no one thought, the expression of the man who had called out to him had not changed at all, and only looked flat.
“Good if everything goes well. Who would have thought it would appear exactly as I expected.”
Flat words from the man. Speak without caring about the woman who is the interlocutor.
With a knotty smile, the woman who slightly floated in the air after coming out of the magic circle tried to understand the information through the sentence that the man who called her said. Although the expression of the man seemed flat, there was at least a common opinion that everyone believed so as to make the woman still confident.
Because there's only one reason why humans call him, let alone a man.
The woman who is the most well-known breed shrewd and expert in flirting, the tiny horns that grow over her pointed ears, the pair of bat wings that are behind her hips, the, then the tail that looks more like a black whip. Anyone would understand, he was a race of seductresses who toyed with men in the cradle of dreams as well as worldly passions. Especially if it's not—
“Succubus, work for me and I promise you a contract that won't make you regret.”
