Peace with oneself

With a little smile in his face Dean said "I know, that is why I trained since I was 4 years old. I won't take no for an answer."

Brian shook his head and said "If you want to kill your parents just say so. I will call some friends, tomorrow we will get you evaluated and go to an F rank dungeon, if you do poorly I will never let you set foot on a dungeon never again. Now eat, you are still going to school"

Dean said loudly "You are the best dad!" then poured some cereal and some milk into a bow and begun happily eating, listening, with his keen senses, to his mother talk in a low voice in the kitchen whit his dad.

Sarah said "Are you sure about this? You know how dangerous this is. He could get hurt, or even worse"

Brian put both of his hands on his shoulder and said "We can't lock him and stop him from doing anything, its his dream for years now. all we can do now is be there for him, instruct him so he doesn't get hurt."

After breakfast Dean and Emily started walking towards their school, for Dean second life first day of high-school. Sarah said in a dorky voice "Excited for your first day of high-school? Finally going to make some friends"

Still looking forward Dean said "The only reason you and I are friends is because you are my sister, I don't like kids. Beside I will ditch school after a month."

Sarah looked at him and said confused "I am older than you, you are the kid"

Still looking forward Dean said "Yet you cared more that I called you a kid than the fact I am ditching school, and I also know you are a bully, that is very not adult like. I also have been working on my future for years now, sorry kid" he also added in his thoughts "I would also be 36 by now"

Not knowing how to refute Sarah looked at Dean with her mouth slightly open, after a few second she just asked "Why are you leaving school? You know they will never allow you in a dungeon"

Dean laughed a little then said "They just did, I am going for a test tomorrow. You may be living in a mansion in a few months"

Like that the two talked and walked thru the nice quiet streets until his sister found one of her friends and ran towards her.

Putting earphone and listening to some calm music, Dean enjoyed the clean streets, with many trees, and the sight of the tall far away buildings of the nobles and merchants.

He thought "I wonder if I will become famous, it would be cool to be in a movie or hire someone to help me making some nice musics... Nah I would probably hate it, talking is not my strong"

Even though Dean family was not rich, especially after they stopped going to dungeons when Sarah as born, they still went to one of the best schools in the city, a grand building made mostly of smooth white stone bricks and high quality wood, with many big windows and a park right at its front.

Looking at the many expensive cars, even some limousines, that came to let the rich smug kids Dean thought "Oh 2 flying cars, classic one too. To let their kids use it, they must be related to one of the city A ranks"

After surviving one boring class after another, all of which the contents he had studied in his other life and restudied long ago so his mother would let him spent time training martial arts, it was finally lunch time, which took placed in a huge open room with lots of tables.

Taking a tray full of good smelling and good looking food that the school had prepared Dean sat at an empty table and begun happily eating. Until a beautiful girl, with pointy ears of an elf, dark green hair and green eyes, accompanied by two other elf girls sat at his table.

The green haired girl said "Hello I am Tsumugi Yamamoto, yes my father is Haruto"

With a small forced smile Dean said "Hi my name is Dean, nice to meet you" while he thought "This is going to be so awful"

Tsumugi said "My dad said you are very talented, its true that you won almost 5 national tournaments?"

Swallowing the food in his mouth Dean said "Yes I trained since I was very young" thinking "For the love of god just ring again bell, I know you just did but please, I don't want to talk with daddy girl."

Thankfully for Dean another rich boy had the intentions of talking with Tsumugi, allowing for Dean to just quietly eat his food and ignore them as they talked between themselves.

When school was finally over he left immediately for his home like he always did on fundamental.

Alone on his dark room he thought "I just have to do incredible tomorrow, then I will be free of all of this. Then I can scratch this demonic itch in my soul for power, I have train some more"

His eyes turned pitch black, like black-hole, as blood red aura visible to the normal human eye begun appearing on his open hand concentrating at one point, turning into a floating ball of fresh blood.

When he had enough blood for his training he easily created simple bright orange runes on top of each of the candles then activated them, turning each one into small flames that ignited the candles.

Once again, like the thousands of times did before, he seated on the middle of the candle circle and begun his training, the candles changing to eerie steady blood red and black flames.

In front of Dean there was no candles neither was he in his room and he wasn't the young boy with gray skin. He was once again the giant demon, with a big whole in his chest, eyes as black as the darkest night, long arms, long legs, long fingers, sharp black nails, twigs and blood crystals piercing pars of his body and tattoos of spiky chains around his four arms.

His appearance dint bother him like it did in the beginning, he found peace with it, that was him now. Blood and shadows, agony and despair where now his domain.

It only took a few second for him to clear his mind and begin moving, the lake of blood below him and the shadows in the sky accompanied his every move, mixing together into a black blood that screamed in agony and despair.
