New Companion Acquired !

"Death! What did that ability do? Revive the dead or bring death to someone."

Zero asked him.

"At first I didn't know but later it was clear that it was both of those things. And soon Saber's team started attacking several other small worlds with weak abilities to fight back and amassed all the resources he could."

Zero was listening to all his story quietly and thinking of a plan.

"Resources for device to travel… but he doesn't need those"

Zero said that but something immediately struck his mind.

"World Domination !! "

"Is that child from my world?"

Zero asked but the priest was already tired and bleeding heavily so he fainted before he could answer.

"He can't be from my world!" Zero mumbled.

Zero took that priest to the infirmary and asked General Nil to assign two guards to him.

Night was deep and stars shining brightly in the sky, made Zero feel lonely again as his world was ravaged and destroyed and he had no way to go back until now…

He returns from where the priest was caught and stands before the device from which his system got its first upgrade and asked system,

"Analyze it ! System!"

"ANALYZATION COMMENCED! PROGRESS 0%...12%...13%....24%.....64%.....79%.....88%.....91%.....95%....99%.....100%. COMPLETELY ANALYZED THE SYSTEM. NEW SKILL ACQUIRED! "

"SKILL NAME REQUIRED…???"

"Skill name?! Choose by yourself…."

Zero was not even finished and system starts speaking,

"DIMENSIONAL DOOR SKILL ACQUIRED!"

"Let me try this for once… Dimensional Doo…"

System cut off Zero and said, "USER HAS NOT ACQUIRED REQUIRED MANA LEVEL AND INGREDIENT TO USE THIS SKILL…"

"Again this shitty system… What are you even good for? Goddammit… just work for me even once when I need you damn it."

System blurts out,

"BEEP BEEP…. SYSTEM BUSY…. USER CANNOT USE SKILLS DURING SYSTEM BACKGROUND TASKS ARE DONE."

"Urgh! What can I even do?!"

Zero with an extremely unhappy face jumped back to the alley outside the building and started strolling outside.

"Dimensional door huh!? What could it do? If I could use it to go back to my world, I would like to see how it is now.."

Memories of the past and parents flashed into his mind and eyes' corner became wet with tears.

Cold breeze brushed past his cheeks and his gaze shifted to the night sky. In the distant, near walls of the city, he could see the guards dozing off on the watchtower and some even enjoying booze unknown about the upcoming tragic situation nearby.

"I don't think it's good to stroll the night roads alone."

Someone spoke from behind.

Zero looked back and it was Baali.

"How do you feel about it?" Zero asked him while looking in the distant grassland.

Bali couldn't catch his flow but answered in his own state of mind,

"It's suffocating… I didn't know this much happened while I was away and now can't even do anything even if I am here after all those years."

"Zero! What will we do now?"

Baali stated his confusion in the form of a question.

Zero, who was quiet, heard the system announcement and started to run towards the empty grassland without any break.

"WARNING !! UNKNOWN ENERGY LEVEL DETECTED!! HIGH LEVEL ENERGY FISSURE 2400 METERS AWAY !! WARNING!!"

?!

Puzzled what happened Baali followed without any question and when Zero stopped, he asked,

"What happened?!"

"There is something here." Zero said.

"What's there? I don't see anything…"

As Baali was not even finished saying a cold chill struck his spine.

Baffled by what it was, he looked around frantically.

Zero in the next step moved towards the dark patch a few meters away and grabbed something tightly in the air.

Baali couldn't see what he caught and was about to ask, then,

A girl with a dagger in her hands appeared from within sizzling electricity camouflage and dropped in Zero's arms.

"That's…" Baali was sweating from the pressure which this dagger released.

Zero was looking at her without any change in his facial expression because her information was displayed in his eyes by the system.

"SPECIES = DEMON KING

AGE = 21 YEARS

POWER LEVEL = UNIVERSAL

???? = ????

????? = ???? "

Some information was not shown.

Zero asked, " Why are there question marks?"

System replied,

" LOW USER LEVEL !! "

Shitty system again in its attitude.

"Demon King! Huh?!" Zero mumbled.

Baali was shocked. He immediately pulled his sword from his waist and jumped at her.

But Zero dodged it instantly and looked with cold eyes at him..

"What are you doing? Didn't you say it was the demon king? Kill it before it brings chaos in this world."

Baali shouted with bloodlust towards the girl.

"She is not hostile to us." Zero said and placed the girl on the grass and splashed some water from the pouch.

"Why are you so sure she will not bring chaos here?" Baali was desperate to kill her.

Zero said, " She will bring chaos.. What do you think will arrive in the week's time?"

Baali knew what he meant and angrily pulled back his sword and sat down looking at the girl angrily.

Girl was pale looking but soon her complexion returned to normal and her dagger fell off her hands.

"Urgh!! .. It hurts.." Girl woke up holding her head and saw two men sitting next to her.

She jumped back and shouted , " Who are you? What are you trying to do with me?" Fear could be seen clearly but when she looked around, it was vast grassland to the sight and fresh cold air brushed her face and she felt nostalgia about it remembering her old world.

It has been more than sixteen years and it's the first time she was out in the open.

"Where is the demon king?" She mumbled.

Zero looked at her with his eyebrows raised.

That girl looked at Zero and couldn't see horns or extra arms or single eyes, which she was used to seeing previously.

"Where am I? What place is this?" She started questioning.

Zero only looked at her quiet.

Baali answered, to her annoying voice, " Mayapur !! It is Mayapur grassland and you are in a small world among countless where agriculture is dominant with giant statured beings."

And looked the other way.

She was not done processing the information, Zero asked,

"Are you the Demon King?"

A cold chill ran down the spine of that girl and while gulping she said, " No! I am not. Instead I was captured by him for years. But.. What happened? Who are you?"

"I felt some strange energy around here and came to look. You were only here."

Pulling out the dagger, he asked, " Do you recognize this?"

Her eyes widened and exclaimed, " Demon King gave me that…. And when I grabbed it I suddenly fell unconscious and fainted. And When I opened my eyes I was already here."

"What's your name?" Zero asked again..

She was still surprised about the fact that she was not in the demon realm.

"YOUR NAME!!" Zero shouted.

With a shock she answered, " Nin… It's Nin"

And suddenly the question marked info revealed,

" ...

...

NAME = NIN ( DEMON KING )

CONDITION = STILL IMMATURE

MATURITY = 54%

…."

And dagger started vibrating too.

Soon it flew off from Zero's hand and Nin was holding it.

Her power and aura started shooting high and grew stronger than before.

System alerted,

" POWER LEVEL RUSHING AND DEMON MATURATION COMPLETION IS NEAR."

He was looking without being able to do anything and just then another announcement came,

"MATURATION COMPLETE. COMPANION SKILL UNLOCKED. NAMED DEMON KING REGISTERED AS COMPANION. USER CAN LOOK AND MANAGE THE STATUSES OF HIS COMPANIONS."

And the system got silent soon after that. Zero was neither in shock nor in happiness but the solution he waited for so long was in front of him.

"What's happening here?!"

General Nil arrived there and was looking at everything unfold with quite a surprise.

His gaze was fixed on the new girl besides Zero.
