It's happening again.... I'm losing it all again...I thought I had changed,but I'm just as weak as I was back then. I look around seeing my group scattered and injured most of them already unconscious. I look at my hands bloodied and then at the hole in my shoulder,it's pierced through and the flame magic had cauterized it already,yet it hurt. I couldn't think straight as I saw the elder demon approach us once more. Is this how my second life ends...?
- Roughly 16 hours earlier-
We had all just gotten together in the city square and we're planning on a day out to celebrate passing highschool and all being accepted into colleges of our choosing. It was a good day. We ate,went on some water rides and sat on the grass to take a break. It was not long there after that it started,first tremors and then the status window...
-ALERT-
First wave arrival in:
00:01:00:00
The ruling five looked at me shocked and I returned their feelings,it was almost 22 years too early. Why was this happening now? Did we screw up by changing the past? Either way I jumped up and alerted everyone with two words : " MY HOUSE!!" I rushed to my car and started it,waiting for the others to catch up I tuned my radio and broadcasts came in
" Giant cracks seem to be spreading in the north and south poles. These cracks were accompanied by something called a status window,commonly portrayed in games,manhua,manga and anime. We will try to keep everyone updated on new occurrences. For faster updates,visit our Facebook page for live videos of the incidents-" the radio cut out and my car,along with every other electronic device cut out,the world went dark.
I nearly jumped out of my car and rushed on foot to my home,if I could get to the basement I could get everyone their gear. I haven't even had the chance to get any armour,only a few weapons. It was happening too early,our preparations were not even close to finished.
As we turned into my driveway the message popped up.

next wave in:

I didn't even look for my key,I kicked in the door to the stairs and rushed down. I handed everyone weapons with buffs to their classes. Psychic crystals for mana users and whatever weapons I could find for melee types. For Ann a cross as she used holy magic and it was all I could get. For me and Richard the only two authentic shields I could find. For Dineo a bow and quiver with enough arrows to last. My only instruction was to board up the house and that we would look for our families once the wave was over,the ruling five had no hesitation on this and we sprung to work,the rest were still shocked by the occurrences and had to be slapped to even respond never mind do as they were told. With the house boarded up all we had to do was defend,easy enough,we had the levels,the only demons that show up on the first wave are soldiers of the low rank devil class,it would be no problem for a group of 17 all over level 10.

I locked eyes with him. An elder demon that was only supposed to appear on the sixth wave. Why did the difficulty increase so dramatically? We weren't ready for this. With most of us having almost no battle experience and a huge power gap,the elder demon made light work of us.
It's happening again.... I'm losing it all again...I thought I had changed,but I'm just as weak as I was back then. I look around seeing my group scattered and injured most of them already unconscious. I look at my hands bloodied and then at the hole in my shoulder,it's pierced through and the flame magic had cauterized it already,yet it hurt. I couldn't think straight as I saw the elder demon approach us once more. Is this how my second life ends...?
I pushed myself to my feet and took a deep breath as I tore off what remained of my shirt. My shield had been broken and my blade was used to hurt my friends after I had been knocked down. I locked eyes with him again as he held Dineo by her hair raising his fist.
"I won't lose her twice...." I said wiping blood from my brow. "Demon,finish off a warrior before you kill the women." He licked his lips as he looked down on me. A rage welled up from deep within me,a rage so violent and so true that it made any anger I had ever felt feel like it was merely a shallow imitation of this. I jumped at his throat losing myself to these emotions. When I came to Ann was treating everyone's injuries in the distance,the ruling five were pulling me off the elder demons corpse. A smashed in skull,or what remained of one. Then the pain hit me,I looked at my knuckles to see only bones and then at my side to see gashes,most probably from that demon's nails. Those who were standing already looked at me in fear,I don't know what I did,but it clearly scared even the ruling five. I didn't have any strength anymore,it took everything I had to just breath normally...
