The Demon Within

Chapter 7: First Apperance and Purpose

Akuryo Akuma's first appearance is in another universe that is long forgotten. A universe that is erased from this demon, a universe before Timmith Asano's universe, a timeline before Timmith Asano's timeline... each and every success of the erasure, Akuryo would die and be reincarnated into a new universe, killing and feeding off of his victim's power. He was weak so he strategized his kills to be stealthy as possible, when he thinks its enough, he goes on a rampage with no mercy or sympathy. But what is his purpose? What is the reason for his bloodthirsty actions? What caused his murderous mindset? In the 125,366,772th universe that he slaughtered, in the last breath of the last warrior in that said universe, he asks to Akuryo Akuma's purpose and why he is doing this as a whole. He responds with a devilish smirk. 

"My purpose? To entertain the viewers of the outside world or reality~ no more, no less~" 

As he laughs like a maniac, he slaughters the last survivor of 125,366,772th universe by chopping his head off and swallowing his brain whole. Now, he'll wait to die in reincarnate into a new timeline/universe. Timmith Asano is sitting in the library, reading this story and finds it absurd. He thinks to himself. "How is this demon not getting bored? What is this reality that the demon is saying and how he gained sentience or knowledge about it? And what if this demon goes after this universe?". Not wanting to think about it anymore, he decides to go home now since school is over. He doesn't even go to a club so there is no reason to even stay. Meanwhile 629 light years away, a dark mist is approaching and finding someone... a host... As Timmith walks home, he can't help but think of the possibility that demon in the story to manifest in this universe. But there's still so many questions. What is the outside world or reality this demon has mentioned? Is it this universe or something beyond his understanding..? He arrives home and unlocks his front door and reassures himself in a confident tone. 

"I shouldn't worry! I can probably defeat him using my... no... our spiritual energy!" 

Timmith stretches and heads inside to take a shower to compensate for his bad smell. Meanwhile, outside the Earth's atmosphere, there is a dark mist and it senses a host that will embody his thirst for blood, An apple to be invaded by a parasite and eat the insides, rotting it to the core. The dark mist enters the Earth's atmosphere and turns completely transparent. As Timmith finishes showering and heads to bed, the dark mist has already invaded not only his body but also his mind and soul, sticking to it like a parasite with its host. His head sinks in the pillow and falls asleep. Soon he finds himself, in a hellish landscape standing infront of a black figure. He speaks and asks a question, clearly curious of who this figure is. 

"Who are you..?" 

The figure in black responds in a dead and flat tone. 

"None of your business! Your mind and soul, i shall break!" 

Timmith drops to the ground as he feels immense pain from everywhere in the body. It's all kinds of pain... stabbed, burned, cut, dislocated, crushed, and more. Until he just wakes up in a cold sweat. He looks at his arms and leg to see no actual injury. He thinks to himself, "Was that a nightmare? It felt too real...". His eyes widened as he realizes that it could be the demon in the story book. Realizing a threat, he plans to tell T.W.O at a park after school so that they could defend not just the Earth but the universe as whole. If what the book said is true... this is not good.
