Chapter 2: The first information.

"Hmm... I'm glad you came back to listen to the second chapter, let's see if it's better this time... so, I'm ■... I think I'm still too early for this revelation. But it doesn't matter, believe me, for now you can just call me: the narrator! Well, now I'd say it's time to continue our story, I know you have many questions, like who is that voice in our boy's head, or why that boy was able to kill that demon while 58 other people before him died... well, don't be afraid, in this chapter everything will be explained, even how special the boy is. I think I've talked too much, it would be a problem if you found out about the ■... as I imagined I can't give spoilers... and if I tried to tell you that our protagonist can ■... okay I give up, at this point let's get back to the story, but remember one thing: this will be a journey that will have some very beautiful twists... for example it will happen that ■... Or ■... haha, it's very funny as a thing; okay, I had enough fun, we can get back to it!"

I had just regained consciousness of myself, opening my eyes I saw a white and very clean ceiling, I waited a few seconds to recover properly after which from lying down I moved to a sitting position and started looking around; I realized almost immediately that I was in a hospital room with a soft light coming through the blinds, I was wearing champ sweatpants and a t-shirt of the same brand, checking better I realized that the holes in my stomach were gone, not even a scratch was left, unlike my right shoulder where there was a scar at least 5 centimeters large.

'my body healed itself!? But how...? I really don't understand how all this could have happened, and yet if I'm here it means I killed that demon! But how? I was almost certain that I would die during the fight; how the hell did I survive?'

'Well, I can answer that!'

'You again? So you weren't just a figment of my imagination?'

'Of course not!'

'So, who or what are you?'

'I'll explain this to you later, your family and some friends will be here soon...'

'What's wrong with you now?'

'Well, the thing is... after the battle you went into a coma, you healed thanks to the power I gave you and you managed to survive, but you really risked a lot.'

'...what do you mean I went into a coma?'

'Well, you'll notice it in a few seconds by yourself, just watch their reactions.'

'Are you weird, how long was I in a coma?'

Crash!

As soon as I heard that noise I turned to the left seeing my mother, my sister and some of my friends standing still in the doorway with wide open mouths and eyes.

"Hey everyone, how's it going? Haha."

After that sentence my sister and my mother jumped on me and burst into tears, everyone who was with them fell to their knees on the floor and burst into tears too.

'Hey, how long did I sleep?'

[...]

'Answer.'

'...1'

'1 day? And all this for one day?'

'1 month, 7 days, 9 hours, 56 minutes and 24 seconds... that's the exact time you slept.'

After those words I couldn't help but feel very shaken, the voice... told me that during all this time my family and friends took care of me, without leaving me alone even for a day... after knowing that of course I burst into tears, but now... from now on everything will be fine, or at least that's what I hoped.

Two days later they finally allowed me to go out but I had to stay in a wheelchair, not because I didn't I could walk anymore but to avoid overexerting myself, my mother took me under a tree in the hospital courtyard so that I could stay in the shade.

"Please, don't run away, I'm going to get a couple of things and I'll be right back"

"Don't worry, Mom, I couldn't run away even if I wanted to"

Somehow everyone's mood had lifted after I woke up… but not mine.

'Hey, now we're alone, I think it's time for a couple of explanations, don't you think?'

'Yes, you're right, first of all I'd like to start with the introductions, my name is Lucifer, I was the demon king before Satan managed to overthrow me and replace me thanks to a plot. That bastard took all the power, but that's another story.'

'Okay okay, one thing at a time, can you tell me your name again and who you are?'

'I understand that it's not easy to believe, in fact for a simple human like you it's already strange that you didn't start screaming'

'Look, I'm not a child'

'I guess it depends on the point of view, anyway... I'll introduce myself again, I'm Lucifer, former king of the demons, I was an angel who was banished and sent to hell as king, the white king, currently the current king of the demons is Satan, the red king...'

'Wait, but why aren't you the king? And why did Satan steal your place? But most of all... why are you inside me?'

'To make a long story short... my way of ruling and being a God didn't please many other Gods, so they joined forces to kill me and pass power to Satan.'

'Hmm... but that doesn't explain how you ended up in my body.'

'More than anything it was a coincidence, a twist of fate, if I may say so, at the exact moment I died and when my soul was ceasing to exist... you were born and at that moment it was as if your soul had grabbed mine, I had the feeling that you wanted to save me... after which your soul entered your body... dragging mine with it, so at this moment we are a human soul and a soul of a god in the same body.'

'So I saved you?'

'You could also say that, yes... you seem very quiet, is everything okay?'

'Yes, more or less, it's just that everything this is driving me crazy, from one day to the next I find out that I share the body with a god who is also a demon king, among other things...'

'Don't worry, I can't take control of your body and my maximum strength in this body is 12%'

'I wasn't worried about you being able to use me... I was worried about everything else.'

'You're right, sorry.'

'It doesn't matter, but why can you only use 12% of your total strength?'

'Well, your human body isn't very well formed, despite having a thick layer of muscles under your skin. The main problem is that your spiritual strength is zero, since you are a human; I can train you to increase and improve it if I want, but it will take time and it won't be easy.'

'...well, when do we start?'

After that I started to see everything as if it were moving away and everything around me turned completely black.

"Hey what the fuck is going on?"

"Don't worry kid, you're in your consciousness right now, I brought you here to train."

"But this body I see... and this voice I hear is... your true form?"

"That's right. This is my true form! I will train you for one purpose only."

"What would that be?"

"I intend to make you the next demon king."

"Are you stupid? How can a human like me become a demon king?"

"Trust me, let's start training now.

After that, Lucifer lunged at me, punching me straight in the stomach.

"Hey, what the f-"

He continued with a punch to the chin, a left punch to the ribs and finally a kick again to my poor chin already severely tested from the previous blow, knocking me to the ground.

"Hey what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"I told you, I will train you, if your brain gets used to my speed then you will be able to see even the blows of a level 9 even if that is only 12% of my strength."

"Why do you only use 12% of your strength?"

"I haven't recovered my strength yet because your body is weak so at the moment I am very weak too."

"…I see, one more thing, what is this story about the levels?"

"Oh right I forgot to explain it to you."

"And don't you think it's time to do it?"

"You're right, then let's start with the scale, the levels indicate roughly the strength of a being for example the demon you faced was a level 10, the lowest."

"Wait a minute… are you telling me that I almost died against one of the weakest demons?"

"Exactly."

"How do you expect me to become a demon king when I barely beat a level 10 demon?"

"I told you, I'll train you to the max to make you stronger."

"Listen, now let me out of here, my mother will be back soon and I don't want her to see me in a coma again."

"You don't have to worry about that, in your mind time passes more slowly, in other words 1 minute in the real world equals 1 month in here."

"Hmm… okay, I get it but now explain this story about the levels to me properly."

"As I was saying, level 10 is the lowest, then there is level 8, then 7 and so on down to 0, plus there are subcategories, each level is divided into: low, rough, medium, high, elite and supreme! The level 10 demon you fought was a level 10 middle class… nothing special in other words."

"Speak for yourself, I almost died against that one… you… if you are Lucifer, what would your level be at full strength?"

"At the moment with 12% of my strength I reach level 8 high class, but if I were at 100%… I would be a rank 0 high class."

"Holy shit, so you are much stronger than I thought, but… now that you are no longer the king of demons who is the king?"

"…I was called the white king because I am an angel in reality, the current king has proclaimed himself the red king, his name is Satan."

"And tell me, is he very strong? Is he stronger than you to the point of being able to kill you?"

"Boy, I was not killed by a single demon, I was attacked by multiple deities who had sided with Satan to kill me."

"Can I ask you who they were?"

"…The first is Satan, then there was… Susanoo the hunter of gods, then there was Loki the god of deception, then there was Hades the Greek god of death, and lastly, Anubis the Egyptian god of death."

"I understand Satan and maybe I can also understand Loki… but why would Hades, Anubis and Susanoo have to join them?"

"Well you see, the other gods of death never liked the fact that I was the strongest and as for Susanoo, he is a god who hunts gods, always looking for a way to become stronger, and as soon as he had the opportunity to fight even me he didn't let it slip away."

"…"

"Boy, have you suddenly become mute?"

"I see…"

"What do you see?"

"If I want to make sure that this doesn't happen again… it won't be enough for me to become the god of death… I… will become the ■■■… Oi Luccy what the fuck just happened?"

"Hmm… I have no idea it seems like it's a forbidden word… by the way why Luccy?"

"Oops… I got it wrong I meant Lucy."

"It doesn't change much… anyway why?"

"I saw a series about you and if I'm not mistaken Lucy was a nickname another angel gave you."

"Another… angel? Boy… take away those series and movies, how much do you know about the gods? I want you to tell me everything you know about each god."

"Well, from what I read in history books you are made in a way let's say and then through series, movies, manga and anime everyone puts their perspective so everything I've seen up to now could be right or it could be all wrong."

"It doesn't matter, tell me everything."

"As you wish… then I'd say we start with the Greek gods. Hmm let's start with Zeus..."

And so I started telling him everything I had seen and all the "fake" information I had obtained, he remained silent to listen to me, interrupting me only when he didn't understand something... I had read a lot of manga and watched a lot of series that talked about these things so I had a lot of "information" if we want to call it that, it took me a whole month to tell him everything but in the real world only 1 minute had passed.

After that we started training again, honestly I found it strange, I couldn't beat him with my strength but over time I slowly managed to "perceive his movements" but despite the 4 months of training I never managed to throw a single punch.

"... so I went out of my consciousness... 5 months have passed, shit, what a strange feeling."

"Here I am again, shall we continue the tour?"

"Sure, mom."

'During those five months Lucy told me something, when you touch someone with powers you will understand what your true power is, I trained a lot but I am still weak, if another level 10 demon appeared… would I be able to stop it?'

"Well I see that my answer was not long in coming, right?"

'You have a level 10 elite class demon in front of you, and much stronger than the previous one, it has been 1 month since the other demon arrived, I hope you are rested and ready.'

"Hey Lucy… stop acting like my mother. Now shut up and let me fight, I will tear this bastard to pieces.
