The winner is....

Arriving in a dark world where human life has no value surprised Keith a bit. But at the same time, raise his curiosity to know more about that place, even more, when he learns, it's a place a mere side character (Eric) came in disguise.

'What is so special here?' As a question ran through his mind, he concluded while observing the entire stage, which was preparing for a death match with great excitement.

The audience is free to do anything, whether it's cheering, cursing, betting, or silently watching the match while enjoying popcorn and drinks. (That what exactly Eric currently doing.)

Most of the audience here, put their money on the bet under the name of Demon Lord. Because he is the final boss the ghost head had to overcome to achieve victory. A tough battle of two top-level fighters… no Killers.

The rule is simple; the participants have to pass three rounds. They can harm each other but can't kill until they reach the third round. There are no restrictions on using any illegal methods, drugs, or weapons… everything is allowed.

The first round starts, Ghost head launches her attacks first. She is more like an assassin, her body language, speed, and movements are all agreeing with the facts. On the other side, the demon lord with his good build body just dodging the attacks as it's nothing.

"It's your chance, kill me if you can..." Challenging, the demon lord gives her free openings to attack him in the second round That move of demon lord fill anxiety in audience who bet on demon lord's name.

"Is he wants to die? Why is he losing on purpose? Is he testing her? That f*****g bastard... Is he playing with our money…." Questions and cursed words begin to raise from the audience side.

Ghost head utilizes the chance as far as she can. She doesn't kill him, but she leaves fatal injuries which are enough to kill a person.

Now, anyone can predict the ending without many efforts. Using the whip and dragger, she almost injured every inch of the demon lord's body, from the hands, legs, and lower abdomen area the blood is coming out in a heavy flow.

In this shape how long can he stand against her? Crossing the question of audience, demon lord's voice reaches everyone's ears.

"Your time is out…" Licking the blood coming out from his right hand, the demon lord strike first with his sharp axe in the third round.

Avoiding the attack, she jumps up. Standing in the air, she releases her weapon the whip towards the demon lord. He took the blow with his left hand but the same time, shake her ground for a moment by pulling her in the opposite direction just with a whip that pierced his skin.

Throwing her whip out of the stage, he went towards her while leaving his axe behind. In front of everyone, he looked like an idiot prey who was willing to enter into the hunter's hand but what exactly happened is completely opposite.

Not only he is avoiding the attacks of the ghost head using bare hands, but he also even overpowering her. He even creating openings to strike her by applying force enough to break her defense. Even after she fell like dead meat, he continued to beat her. His actions leave a chill in the whole room. Only his beating noise can hear now.

"Fight, you **** Don't play dead, fight… Now you don't want to fight… stand up…" He shouts at her while beating but it all ends with… "Why…Why don't you kill me… Look what you made me into…" He is crying and beating her while expressing distress.

In the final seconds, as the timer was about to end, he severed her head from her body, displayed it victoriously to the audience, and then collapsed on the stage unconscious.

Eric couldn't grasp what exactly the situation is, Was the demon lord a psycho? But thinking back about his actions after transmigration stops him from seeing the demon lord as a psycho. Especially when their blood-thrust vibes meet perfectly.

From the show, Eric realized one thing: the name 'Darkness' that the author gave to the novel has a deep meaning that is beyond imagination.

The people are crazy over violence, money, drugs, and sex… no matter for these if they had to kill someone or end by others' hands.

"It's getting late, I should leave now…" Seeing enough and realizing how much he needs to improve to stand against such one, Eric intends to leave the room before he became prey to such monsters who are participating in the next fight.

Without paying attention to those boys' calls, Eric left and went directly back home with many questions raising in his mind.

At home, Butler Itt is sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him. Beside him, Cain is standing there obediently.

"It's too late, where have you been young master?" After showing his respect, Butler politely asked.

"I went to meet Aiden, anyway what business do you have here at this late hour?"

"What business do I have? What else if it's not training a new worker? He is young, but it can't change the fact that he is now one of us." Deadly looking at Cain, Butler spoke.

"Oh… I won't interrupt your training but do it in moderation. He also wants to attend school after doing housework."

"Are you going to let him study?" In a surprised way, butler Itt asks.

"I may be a heartless person but not a pathetic one. Ruining a child's future isn't something that someone can be proud of.

Hey kiddo, I'm starving. Is there anything to eat here?" Quickly changing the topic, Eric turns to Cain and continued while taking him from there. "Ready to go to school tomorrow, I will take you there. So don't be late…"
