you must make a choice.”

Kuragami’s mind spun. The overwhelming power surged through him, coiling like a sleeping dragon, waiting to be awakened. His mother was in danger. His people were suffering. And here he was—powerless.

But now, he had a choice.

The gods had abandoned him. The humans had turned their backs on him. The demons called him their prince.

Was he ready to accept the darkness?

Would he embrace his true heritage?

As the battlefield burned and the heavens trembled, Kuragami clenched his fists, his voice steady.

“I refuse to be weak.”

The Demon God’s laughter echoed through his soul.

“Then rise, Demon Prince. Your destiny begins now.”

A black aura exploded from within him, shaking the very fabric of reality. His body burned with newfound strength, his vision sharp, his senses heightened.

And for the first time in his two lives…

He was no longer powerless.

Betrayed, murdered, and torn away from his only family, Johnny’s life ended in despair. But fate had other plans. Reborn as Kuragami, the son of a fallen goddess and the Demon King, he awakens in a world of gods, demons, and war.

Haunted by his past and driven by vengeance, Kuragami swears never to be weak again. In a world where power is absolute, he must navigate divine conspiracies, ancient prophecies, and his own dark lineage.

As he unlocks terrifying abilities, the gods mark him as a threat, and the demons claim him as their prince. But Kuragami has only one goal—become strong enough to uncover the truth behind his past and protect the people he loves.

When the war between gods and demons erupts once more, will he stand as a savior… or embrace the darkness within?

Rebirth of the Vengeful Demon God

Kuragami stood at the edge of absolute darkness.

There was no land, no sky, no water—only the void. Floating within this abyss was a massive, ancient gate that pulsed with an eerie glow. Its surface was covered in ancient runes, shifting and changing as if alive.

Alexandra stepped forward and spoke in a grave tone.

"If you want to become stronger, if you want to save your mother, and if you truly wish to meet your father—then step through this gate."

Seraphina, standing beside her father, answered.

"This is the Gate of the Forgotten. Thousands of gods and demons have entered in search of power, but only ten have ever returned."

"Yes. But even I barely survived. This gate does not simply grant power—it tests you, it breaks you, and only those who are truly worthy emerge alive."

"Most who enter vanish without a trace. Their bodies, their souls, their very existence is erased. No one knows what happens inside."

Kuragami stepped closer to the gate, placing his hand on its surface. The moment he did, a cold wave of energy surged through him, as if the gate was reading his soul.

"It won't open for just anyone. It only opens for those it deems worthy."

"And what does it consider worthy?"

"It must see that you have a purpose greater than yourself. A desire so powerful that even death will not stop you. Only then will the gate acknowledge you."

"If you're not strong enough, then just give up now, Prince."

Kuragami ignored her, closing his eyes.

He thought of his mother, taken by Zeus.

He thought of his sister, who he had failed to protect in his past life.

He thought of the war between gods and demons, the suffering of countless innocents.

A burning rage ignited in his chest.

His energy surged, the darkness of demons and the light of gods exploding around him. His golden eyes burned, and his black and white wings spread wide.

A deep, ancient voice echoed from within.

"You… seek power. You… seek vengeance. You… seek salvation. But are you willing to face the truth of your existence?"

"I don't care what I have to face. I will enter. No matter what it takes."

The gate rumbled. The runes shifted violently, and then—

With a deafening roar, the gate began to open.

A blinding light burst forth, swallowing Kuragami whole.

"Now, let's see if he can survive."

As Kuragami disappeared into the unknown, the Gate of the Forgotten slammed shut behind him.
