Front cover: A crowded plaza of wealthy people, each face locked into a smile as a kid crouched holds his head.

"And with this last sacrifice! The final gate holding me from the destroying Alikan will be released!" Spouted out from the demonic figure. Surrounded by an army of skeletons and zombies. Littered within are a few lesser demons.

Standing opposite, and in far less numbers stood Linam. With a small army of towns folk. Led by Horikin. Don charged forward with Lizz. Slashing down a pathway towards the vile monster. I charge forward, unsheathing my blade made with a magical stone.

It was quickly swipped out of my hand, as the sky grew into a dark and black landscape.

A piecing pain rippled through the right side of my chest, as i witness the sword ram through the gold armor I wore.

I grimaced as i grabbed the handle from them.

I wrestled it outwards, ripping it out of my side, as i chant.

"I fight for the heavens and the people, i stand by the side of man and victory is my sword. Guide me in this forever darkness. Live! ON!"

A shine ripples through the sword as it rips through the demonic figure.

Followed by a switch and cutting off the demon kings head. It slops to the floor as the army he led falls with the rise of the sun and light.

A cheerful scream raged through the battlefield of destroyed buildings and bodies of people who weren't saved, just out of frame of sight. The casualties that aren't shown.

Despite winning, it always felt dull. An empty victory.

As an old man closes a book and slides it along a table. Leaning back into their chair. "If only.. I could.. try ag-"

They begin to cough rapidly, leaning forward as they grab their throat.
They reach for water, so far. Away.
And like that, it all went dark once again.

.

A cute voice filled my ears. Like an angel holding my hands, a familiar feeling.

"Do not fear hero, i have you now. And you will live again. To defeat the demon king is your new role. As the hero of ali19$&-197/&/6666-"
*A buzz ram through, the sirens scream*
"66666666 "3arthqu3ke2 ridd9ls the land. F9&d tlelter alk heaven hhrfulh hell"666666666- new name is vinam!"

I open up my eyes to find the same wealthy king and princess.

They say the same lines as before "It worked"

"Welc-"

"Please lend us your blade!" the princess stated

Wait but. How do i know this. The car it just, it just hit me didnt it. *car horn* my mind bringing me to the sword. Was it that that killed me. My head sweating in a red hue. I mutter the words.

"I'll.. do it"

"So your the hero, amnyazing!" Don said as they tightly hug me, my eyes wonder into the trees. I pictured her twice, just a slight lag to the echo.

Quickly a sigh left my mouth

A soon brought out by a puff of steam like before.

I soon was back to being alone in my room, the magical sword laid upon the table. Newly brought from the demon kings treasury.

Some rubble moved outside, i slowly stood to look out the window into the landscape of the town.

A woman walked around with purple hair. Not uncommon in this world it seems.

Usually towns folk didnt go walking at night though, something felt off about here. Time felt like it slowed as i looked at her.

I walked over and out if my room, down the stairs and out of the inn.

I quickly followed the magic footprint of them, its feel is unlike a normal caster or non caster. Soon following lead to a destroyed clothing shop. The walls fell down on a side, few clothes lay on the dirty rat ridden floor.

"Come on theres got to be something around here" came from the back of the shop.
I hid around a corner peering into the center of the noise. To find the women hunched over a pile of clothes.

"Uhhhck, its all destroyed. Wait here's a pai- ew. oh god why was it slimy" They state while throwing a pair of undergarments behind them.

"Water water water" they continue as they grab out a flask, propping it in between their thighs and tilting it. (censoredlol)
Pouring out some water to wash their hands.

I contemplated helping with whatever they're doing, taking a single step forward as a creek ran through the broken floor. The woman quickly turn to face my direction as i slip back into cover.
A single second of hesitation and they would have seen me.

If I get caught, people wouldn't shut up about me peeping on women in the dead of night.. A fast set of foot steps follow my thought.

She quickly stepped outwards into the street. Looking around before they focus their gaze upon the building across from the broken building. An advanced building where doctors did what they could to help the sick and injured. She began walking into it.

Strapped to her back a backpack filled with supplies. A run away maybe? No, too old, they look to be in their 20's.

My eyes fixate on the building. Multiple floors. More.. Modern.

"What am i doing, I'm going home" i state as i walk back to my bed and lay down. Drifting back off to sleep.

.

A voice quickly disrupted my sleep "So your the one spying on me"
I quickly catch sight of the woman from the broken store, propped up by their hands on my bed.

I bolt upwards and roll to the otherside of the bed. The room was covered in some sort of black oil.
Making it hard to see anything. The window showed nothing outwards but darkness.

"So what's the name?" she continued with a calm yet excited voice as they lay their head on the bed.

"Who are you! How did you get in here" i quickly replied.

"Was that a question..? Felt like more of a statement. I don't know. And i got in here through the door. Or well i guess, doors. Plural" the lady rambles while gesturing to a wall.

"The doors were locked! So stop stalling and answer me" i state as i search the room for my sword.

"I don't think we're talking about the same doors, you mean the doors into this 'room' but i mean the actual doors. The word shut doesn't even come close pft, they were wide open" she says while moving their hands around.

"Are you high? Theres only 2 sets of doors. The doors to my room and the doors to the inn" i say

"Inn?
.
.
.
Oh! Have you not realized yet?" she says while standing to her feet, her backpack missing, as they start walking over to me.
"What, Realized what? Who are you.." i said as i back up towards the wall, tripping over a pole on the ground. That shouldn't..
be there.. She presses forward, standing over me as they push on the wall behind me. Leaning down, getting within inches of my face. Their neck having some sort of plug in.. like the old world. As she says in a calm yet teasing fashion.

"You're in a coma."
