Day 9

I woke up drenched in sweat. I had another weird dream, I heard someone say: "The burning chains would befall them and they would suffer for eternity". I realized that it must be another trial to get stronger. I was prepared for anything to get stronger, because if I'm weak I won't be able to save my father or anyone else. I wrote down the poem I heard in my dream on a piece of paper. As I did the paper burned and a piece of metal fell from it. I picked up the piece and it wrapped around my right arm. The chains started to glow and burn my skin, but I didn't care about pain anymore. I said to my mom to find my key of a little box I have in my room, while my friend decided to go and investigate the torture pit that I cleared. I went out with my friend, we got to one point and split up. He wished me luck, because the battle I'm gonna have now is gonna be totally different from dealing with those weaklings. I started walking towards the centre of the city. Demons started approaching me, the underlings tried to attack me but they were filled with fear. I ignored their existence completely. After some time I got to the centre of our city and I heard someone screaming in pain. When I got closer I saw my father being burned alive. I rushed to save him but I was stopped by someone, a tall man with white hair and red eyes. He laughed and said: "This is gonna be fun, you have 2 demon marks already. You must be stronger than this weakling. Every human that has a demon mark will be punished and tortured for eternity. You dare to kill us, now it's time to suffer"

He had a huge sword, it looked like it was 3 meters in length. He attacked me right away, I blocked it with my chained arm, as I looked at my arm it looked dark like charcoal, like the fire stopped burning. I started to panic because I'm not fast or strong enough to defeat this guy. I can only block with my arm, I tried using the fire but nothing happened. I remembered the poem that I dreamt, I said "Hell seal" and all of the chains on my right arm fell off and wrapped around my enemy. My arm started to glow again as the chains were removed. The demon laughed and said "Regular chains can't stop me" as he said that the chains started to glow yellow hot. And fire started to come out from them, it was a white fire. He started to scream and say: "You will die soon, you will die soon by the son of demons". The chains burned him and turned him to ashes. I started to run towards my father and while I was running the chains wrapped around my right arm again and I got a new mark on my left hand. I took the chains and metal rods out of my father. When he came to his senses he said "Take me home kid. Who would've thought that a son would save his father." I picked him up and I started to walk home with him. We both smiled and we were happy that we reunited again. I arrived at home and we got greeted by mom. My mom cried so much and she was so happy to see dad again. She hugged and kissed him although his wounds haven't healed fully yet. I asked my mom if she found the key, she said that she did and she handed the key over to me. This key will open one of my deepest memories of the dream that I had as a kid. I dreamt of this day, of hell of demons, torture, blood. I thought it was just a regular nightmare so I wrote it in detail in my diary. As we were talking we heard footsteps, I grabbed my right arm and I was about to remive the chains and my dad took his knife out. When the person approached our doorway we realized that it was my best friend. He came back from his investigation and he gave me a piece of paper, it was burning but it didn't burn away. It had 3 numbers on it "666". My friend told me that he needs to press it against my back so that the demons can't recognize me as a human anymore. I won't be hunted anymore so I decided to go through that as well. I got those 3 numbers burned on my back, as my friend sat down he told me that we need to stop these torture pits before it's too late. The demons plan is not only to open the gates of hell on this world but their main plan is to revive the first demon Lucifer and to feed him with young blood so he becomes youthful again. My friend told me that Lucifer is gonna be unstoppable and he will kill every single human being and erase humanity on this world. His brother Belialin is the mastermind of the plan. I decided to get some rest from all of this, because tomorrow we will decide what our next goal will be. Tomorrow I need to unlock my deepest memories first. Because without them we will be going out blind. As I was going to bed I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I look more like a demon than a human now. I'm scared to lose my humanity.
