Demon Lord's Reincarnation

锘?52 The start of a story

锘?/p>

"Congratulations you pass."聽

Ren who thought that he had ceased to exist heard a very familiar voice speaking to him. Ren who only saw darkness in front of him finally saw a small light that was growing bigger and bigger. Ren's closed eyes slowly opened and he saw that he was back inside his soul realm.聽

"Was I saved by you?"聽

Ren looked at the original incarnation that was standing in front of him and was confused. Why did he appear now and why did none of his incarnations respond when he needed them the most?聽

"Saved you? You seem to be misunderstanding something, you weren't in any danger in the first place so there wasn't any need to save you."

"Huh, what do you mean?"聽

"Did you forget? I told you before I was going to test you."聽

"Wasn't the darkness, in the beginning, the test?" Ren was still confused as to what was happening, as his head was aching.聽

"Wrong, that was just something akin to a waiting area. I needed to create the whole scenario with the ORIGIN and not only that I was also heightening your fears and anxieties, so I needed some time to prepare. That's the reason for that blank area with nothing in it. I also used your memories and how you imagine the ORIGIN to be as the base of my created scenario. Of course, as my reincarnation, you have never experienced such fear before. At that point in the test, many of my reincarnations have already failed, they weren't even able to reach the testing site. Feeling such intense fear for the first time they had no resistance at all."

"So that's what it was..."聽

Ren remembered the growing fear he felt at that time, at first he was confused and he wanted to quit multiple times but in the end, he did not do so.聽

"Unlike most who took this test, despite tasting such fear for the first time you were able to move forward. I even showed you the hidden fear deep in your heart, and that did not stop you. It was so exciting to watch you overcome your fears and keep moving onward."聽

"Then the ORIGIN that I fought was that his real strength?"聽

"No, it wasn't," when Ren heard the Original say those words, he felt relieved and disappointed, but then the Original continued.

"The power of the ORIGIN is much more powerful than you can imagine. If that was the real ORIGIN then once you were sealed the ORIGIN who is Omnipotent and Omniscient could've destroyed everything with but a thought. There was no need for that cracking each universe thing that took so long."

Now that Ren heard the Original's answer the disappointment disappeared and he started to become excited again, as that vicious smile appeared on his face.聽

"Heh, I can understand what you're feeling right now Ren, but before you get even more excited and want to fight how about I show you the truth that you wanted to know so much."聽

"The truth?"

"Yes, since you passed the test as promised it's about time to tell you my story, but since we're reaching the end, I guess it would be fine to show everyone about it." The Original snapped his fingers and the hundreds of thousands of reincarnations of the Strongest Mortal Soul appeared in the same space.

"Everyone, since Ren here has passed the test I decided to show everyone the story of my past. Since my true name cannot be spoken and most of the characters in my story are also the same, the names mentioned will be different from their True names. Now allow me to show you an epic tale the story of where it all began."

A huge screen appeared in front of everyone, it was larger than a planet and every incarnation could see it despite how far they were from the screen. After a while a picture on the screen.聽

...

Erste (the original incarnation's name for now) woke up and looked at the ceiling. It was another day of doing the same thing he did every single day, wake up, wash up, eat, go to work, come home, take a bath, eat, and go to sleep. Doing things over and over again, not a single thing changes.

This world was like a well-tuned clock were all the gears mesh and flow together. There was only emptiness in this world that was supposed to be a utopia. Even though there were no wars, no fear, no pain, nothing, only progress, but at the same time, there was no joy, no excitement, no love, no reason, just nothing but progress. Humans reproduce simply because they need to, they might not have lifespans and stop aging upon reaching a certain age but they are killed quite frequently, so they needed new generations to continue to progress endlessly.

The only thing that changes from day to day was the Gods that would descend upon them and torture the humans in different ways, there were many times that they wouldn't torture humans but just directly kill them. The humans who do not feel pain or fear could not understand why the Gods do this to them but because they didn't understand it they weren't bothered by it.聽

One day Erste who continued his daily life like normal saw one of the Gods descend and started attacking some humans. The ones being attacked did not resist or run, the people nearby only glanced at the scene and continued on their way.聽

This was supposed to be a normal thing that happens every single day, but for some reason, Erste stood at the side and watched. While he was watching the people he sees every day being killed one by one a question suddenly popped into his mind.聽

'Why?'聽

It was such a simple question that anyone could have but it was this moment that changed everything, not only for the simple Erste but everything in the original universe.

The God noticed Erste and was about to playfully kill the other party, but unlike all the others present something different happened when the God attacked Erste, Erste actually evaded the strike.聽

"Hoh, what's this an interesting human came about. Tell me human why did you evade my attack?"

"I evaded because I could not understand."聽

"Couldn't understand, what do you mean?"聽

"I couldn't understand why you were going to kill me. I couldn't understand why you were killing everyone. Why are you doing this, what's the point?"聽

When the God heard Erste's response he was quite shocked, he had seen some humans evade before because of an awakening of some instincts, but after asking the same question they did not respond and simply allowed themselves to be killed, on the other hand, this was the first time he has seen a human ask the question why. After a while, the stunned God suddenly laughed.聽

"You ask me why I'm killing the humans I see, it's because I have the power to do so, and I don't really like you humans. You guys are so weak that I can kill you with but a breath, I can never understand why Father (the ORIGIN) cares so much about you guys. You guys infuriate me so much you who are weak and worthless why are you so favored?!... Now that you know my reason, let me ask you this, why shouldn't I kill you?"聽
