"Since you are now able to regulate at least the 30% of my power, you can train with me
now" He uttered while staring at me with serious eyes.

"What?" I wandered down while my hand is on my chin thinking about what Fafnir just told me while staring back at him.

"Human, you should know that in Norkiya, you can die any minute. This place is not safe especially with the likes of you. You are human, and everyone doesn't know that you are existing except to that Demon we just encountered. You are in danger. We are in danger. I'll lend you my strength and I will teach everything I know to help you become stronger than I was" He responded in a serious manner while clinching his hands together.

but before I can say anything back at him, little did we know that we have been scrutinized by a Advanced Class Demon.

In the Demon World or the so called Netherlands, they have a hierarchy system.

Special Class Demon: The oldest and most powerful demons, typically aging around 5-10 thousand years. They possess immense wisdom, experience, and formidable supernatural abilities. They often hold significant influence or leadership roles among demons.

Advanced Demon: Demons in this category are slightly younger, aging between 3-5 thousand years. They are highly skilled in their demonic abilities and may hold positions of authority or specialization within demonic society. Their power is substantial but may not rival that of Special Class Demons.

Upper Demon: Younger still, Upper Demons are around 2-3 thousand years old. They are formidable in their own right, possessing significant strength and magical prowess. They often serve in various roles within demon hierarchies, from warriors to advisors.

Lower Demon: The youngest and least powerful of this hierarchy, typically aging between 1-2 thousand years. They are still formidable compared to humans but are considered lesser in strength and experience compared to their older counterparts. They might serve as foot soldiers, minions, or apprentices under more senior demons.

This classification not only establishes a hierarchy based on age and strength but also implies a societal structure among demons where age and experience correlate with authority and power.

The older the Demon gets, the stronger they become

Accumulation of Knowledge and Experience: As demons age, they accumulate vast amounts of knowledge and experience. This includes mastering complex spells, understanding ancient rituals, and developing strategic insights into dealing with adversaries.

Enhanced Magical Abilities: Older demons often have more potent magical abilities. They can cast more powerful spells, manipulate larger amounts of energy, and even bend reality to a greater extent compared to younger demons.

Physical and Metaphysical Development: With age comes physical and metaphysical development. Older demons may have more robust physical forms that can withstand greater punishment. They might also have developed their innate demonic traits, such as shapeshifting or regeneration, to higher levels of proficiency.

Overall, the concept that older demons grow stronger encompasses not just physical power but also intellectual and mystical prowess, making them formidable adversaries.

"Hmm, what a rare encounter" Someone uttered with excitement while a sudden burst of bloodlust covered the place.

I immediately turned my head and I saw a demon sitting on top of the rock while staring at me as if he wanna kill me on sight; Fafnir immediately teleports in front of me and attacked the Demon with his skill, << Usurper >> an AOE attack that covers the place with hot magma with continuous damage and the Demon easily dodge it and leaving a dismissive response, "If you want to die that bad, I'd be glad giving you the judgement" the Demon slowly walks towards Fafnir with a grin on his face showing its excitement.

I cannot move even inch of my body as I felt the bloodlust sipping out of my existence and Fafnir shouted at me, "Get yourself together! You can even run, I will stall him here!" And there, the Demon's cold eyes made its way towards me and the demon asked curiously, with a slightly evil smirk , "Are you afraid of me, Human?" I avoided the eye contact.

"Hoy! I know it's frightening but the more you are frightened, the more they get stronger because your fear feeds them!" Fafnir added with anger. That time, I realized one thing, that I was too weak and is not ready for anything. "I am this weak? I was reincarnated but it seems like I am still weak enough to save myself. I wasn't able to save myself but I was able to save someone. Was it the right thing to do? I'm a that selfless?" I mumbled trying to hold my bouncing nervous knees. "Human!!" Fafnir shouted at me once again while gritting his teeth with anger as the Demon is walking towards us.

While I was about to pass out, I realized something: On earth, I tend to help people but I wasn't helping myself. I seldom do anything to myself. People often helps me because I really cannot do nothing but sometimes, I think that I should be doing something but I just cannot do it . I will do everything to save myself and save Fafnir.

The first one to notice was, Fafnir. "you're back, huh?!"  expressing a mix of recognition, nervousness, and possibly relief with his soft utterance. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" I shouted with anger while clinching my fist heavily; The magicores burst out and I went into rage mode and launch into the sky, leaving substantial craters on the ground as I ascend. - I have suspended mid-air, pointing my right hand at the demon with a fierce glare and said, "Come. I will kill you, Demon!"

The demon's excitement and acknowledgment of my challenge was shown to the demon's face. The demon looked up with a smirked on his face and shouts with excitement, "Interesting, Human!"
