It hurts!

I stand alone in a hell of a castle

What was left of the proud castle of Ignia and the home of the royal family was now burning to the ground. It was made as a strongjold for Goetia when his mortal form was defeated by the heroes, Griffith and his bunch. Unknwon to them Goetia was only able to use 75%"of his full power, and they barely even won. But for me it was tough. I now face him on his metaphysical state, where he can use all 100% his power and increase it.

That 25% difference is really big! I dodged a slash and cut a fireball headed towards me. I scowled as I threw away my now useless sword and summoned another one. I can't fight him like this! I need one opening and I will smash this bastard to the ground. I danced around it's blades and attacks.
. I saw an opening and cut one of its arms off.

"Why do you stop me?!" It shouted as It grew its arm back. Tch! Cheeky bastard don't copy me!

"You took everything away from me!" I said calmly before lashing out with a whip blessed with magic of severing and cut its chest, exposing its inside.

"I don't even know who you are." Snarling, I lost my cool and whipped at its flesh wildly and gave it an opening and it punched me, destroying my armor and sending me towards the a burning house.

I activated my ability and bound it on my chains making it unable to move. I slowly went towards it, ignoring the heat of the burning castle and sting on my skin. I gripped chains on my hand and held a small lance on the other. I stared at the beast with hate on my dark eyes. My visitor mark proudly showing on my chest and a mark of an Ignian soldier burned brightly on my shoulder.

(imagine him with a tan, black hair and dark eyes)

"A storm-borne?" it asked me with a bit of pride on it's voice.

I drew my hand back and stabbed my lance on it's body and poured mana on the lance. Seconds later, the beast screamed in anguish as the small lance's blade spun fast in different directions causing demon blood to spray. It looked at me with hate and saw my mark.

"A visitor! You and your wretched kind!" It spat at me but I just ignored it. Merely drawing my lance back, I pulled the chains on my hand, causing the chains surrounding the monster's body to constrict as the sound of bones breaking echoed on the air.

"You know, funny thing about my ability is, it's not just me creating chains. My real ability is to bind. But it's easier for me to bind something when I give it form and binding is not only limited to chains but also other things as well." I smiled sadistically at the beast and put a hand on it's body. And summoned chains inside it. Controlling them all I made them wreck the insides of this monster.

" Damn you!!! "

" You know if those heroes were the ones who fought you on this form they will lose." I said with a whisper and made thains inside the body to move so fast inside it to create a mini vacuum. The monster screamed on pain as I kept doing this.

" Their abilities are specialized in other areas. But me, I'm another story. " I stopped to let it rest and heal it's wounds before doing it again.

"My abilities are focused towards destroying enemies that can fight for prolonged periods of time." If I didn't have my high-speed regeneration, I would have died a long time ago.

"Since you won't die I thought of a great ounishment for you! One that would kill you over and over and over and over AND OVER AGAIN! I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO!" I summoned more of my binding chains and wrapped it around the monter to a ball only the size of a regular basketball. I took out a lantern of blue flames and threw it on the ground.

A skeletal figure appeared in front of me. It has a hood covering it's face.

"You have fulfilled the end of your bargain." was its bone-chilling voice said. I simply nodded and showed the ball of the demon king Goetia. It laughed and it was creepy.

"very well!!! As promised I shall grant the royal family of Ignia access to paradise and all their descendants shall live blessed lives. No more no less." I smiled happily as I bowed at the figure.

"Thank you!"

"Now." It said before it waves it's hand as a rift opened, showing a black bottomless abyss. "the realm of death, a place where a being who comes here suffer eternal death and suffering."

I smiled and was about to throw the ball of my most hated enemy when I heard a familiar voice.

"Stop!!!" Griffith's annoying voice echoed throughout the burning battlefield. "He does not deserve this! All beings need second chances and he does as well." he continues his rant about being fair and equal. I ignore him and mercilessly stab my lance to an opening in the ball and once more making it rip apart the flesh. And while Grifffith was still talking.

" If you spare him you willl be- *gag*"" I threw the broken remains of my defeated Enemy on the abyss of death ans watched in sadistic glee as I saw him get ripped apart by the souls of those he cursed and slain while he regenerated. He wanted to be immortal and he received it. Lucky him. I laugh out loud as I notice the morbid humour of his circumstance.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" Grifffith shouted as his harem appeared by his side. I snarled as I saw familiar faces by his side along with a familiar blonde and boyish delinquent twin of hers.

"He already had enough didn't he? WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!" I shouted at them as I dispersed my chains and flicked the blood of my lance as I summoned a suit of armor given to the most worthy of it by skill. A storm-borne dragon rider armor.

"WALE UP SHIROBANE! THIS WORLD, JUSTICE ISN'T JUST BLACK OR WHITE NOR LIFE IS JUST A FREAKING FAIRY TALE WHERE WE CAN ALL FUCKING LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!" I saw them flinch and step back.

"I know you were there on that day when your kingdom attacked Ignia!" I shouted at them.

"so what is it to you? It's evil so we had to destroy it." was the reply of Griffith's annoying sister. The other's tried to stop her but was too late.

"Evil.... Evil? Evil?! Hahaha!!!!" I laugjed at the Irony.

"let me tell you if my kingdom was evil then yours would be more." I told them seriously and they all looked confused. This will be good.

"Do you know how you were summoned here?" I asked them as I sat down on a mutilated demon corpse. "The mana required to summon one hero is so high that it needs to have several magicians in order to summon one andbthat involves said magicians losing magic or dying." hearing this the pure expression of confusion on this face makes it fun.

"So get on to it." Was Joan's answer and I smiled.

"They used all people who lived on the slums as batteries in order to summon you and they were all so drained that only their skin remained!" I said to them as they all had shock written to their faces. I looked at a shaking princess on the side. And watched as she was confronted by Griffith. She broke and told them the trust that the heroes were just being used in order to eleminate the enemies of the kingdom so it will be stronger.

I smiled like a loon as I watched them fight themselves too bad they were calmed down by a mage.

"before we go back and ask theking and his subjects I need you to come with us and explain your case, sir hero."Griffith said while offering his hands towards me. I started laughing out loud at the stupidity of his.

" You really are stupid aren't you!" I shouted at them and they were all taken aback." Don't worry! You won't be coming back." I said as I jumped down and landed on the ground gracefully. "After all Goetia is dead and you are now being summoned back to your world."

I walked towards the center of the destroyed castle and stabbed the lance on the ground and slowly poured my mana to it. The lance hummed slightly and began to sing a song of a new age. An age of no demon king. The murals on the ground and the entire capital began to move in pattern with the lance as several hundreds of wingbeat filled the air.

I focused on the memories of the royal family who became my family on this world. I smiled as the ruined castle slowly built itself and returned from its proper glory once again.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see a silhoutte of an old man, my master who has a proud smile on his face. I then saw Mavis in her dress smiling at me happily before waving and joining my waving master along with her parents and several older siblings.

An elderly dragon landed down on the ground

It bowed to me and so all did dragons as they landed on the ground. The heroes were confused as did I. Why are they bowing to me. I kept focusing my magic on the lance as it kept moving then a crown appeared in front of us carried by the silhouettes of the former king and queen.

"Sir Hund von Ignia, commander of the storm-bornes of Ignia and the leader of the dragoons of Ryuuou, slayer of demons, Warlord of Ignia." my eyes widened as I knew this ceremony.

It can't be.
Why?
I don't deserve this!
Why me?!

I knelt down on the ground my hand now on a trio of knives that were stabbed on the ground. Warm tears fell out of my eyes as I looked down on self-loathing.

"We name you as the new king of Ignia, may you rule be one of prosperity and may you guide the people to their new fates." they said as they slowly put the crown on my head as a light surrounded me. A sword, that once belonged to Mavis, appeared on my hand and it changed to longsword filled with catholic designs. I stood up and slashed my new sword dispelling the light.

,(imagine him with a tan and with black hair with silver highlights.)!

I looked at my new clothes. Ignian ascension clothes given to royalty and those who they deem worthy. I now have armor on my whole upper body above blue clothes and the lower armor allows me to both ride and fight unarmed easily. I looked at my subjects as my storm-borne helmet started to crack. The heroes tried to geta closer look but they were quickly disappearing in golden motes.

Suddenly all the dragons roared in unison. Reminiscent of a 21 gun salute but instead they used their breathes. I smiled to myself and planned to make Ignia stronger than it already is.

4 years later
It has been several years since I was crowned as a king.
It was shocking first. Many of the Ignians agreed but some didn't not because they didn't like me but because they thought I was better at being a soldier and warrior than a leader.

I did agree with them but since it was the former king and queen who did that I can't step back from my position just yet.

I groaned as I worked on my stacks of seemingly never-ending paperwork. I want to go out and fight.

I was then hugged by a pair of girls, Sakura and Yukino, they are now Ambassadors from Ryuuou but that was just a cover up for what they really wanted.

"Come on Ren!!! Go with us please!" Yukino childishly said while giving me her puppy eyes. I looked at her and tried to not get a nosebleed. She then proceeded to bury my arm on her breasts.

I am in nirvana. The spiritual realm is infinite.

While I was doing my mantra she suddenly licked my neck and then bit it causing me to moan.

"Now now Yukino calm down. Rey is still working after all." A calm and disciplined yet kind voice said and I looked at Sakura who sat beside me and helped me on my paperworks before leaning her head on my shoulder.

I smiled at sakura. I wanted to hug her now but it's odd. Isn't she to close now?

"But! We can always bother him later after he is done. Or we could tease him later..." Sakura said in a seductivs tone that made both Yukino and I blush. Seriously you two! You're both insatiable.

"That's it!" I slammed my hands on the desk surprising the two before grabbing them and running while carrying them. The two only giggled and smiled happily.

The three of us went around the capital, enjoying the dragon rising festival without a care in the world.

We ate many things, played at many booths and more. I smiled as I took them to the mansion where I lived at my first year on this world.

"I'm planning to make this a place for orphans to live, where they will all be able to live and train to protect themselves."
I said and I saw them look down sadly. I knew why.

"Ren...""Ren..." the both of them said sadly while looking down. I sighed and rubbed their heads.

" Now you two gorgeus bombshells. Don't be so down. I know you will be summoned to earth again in a while. I'm not the best guy for the both of you." I told them as I remembered all I did. All those I killed, ruined lives of and many more sins.

"I want the both of you to pick guys who will be able to be with you and make you happy. Not a monster like me." I said and they slapped me hard. I looked at them in shock as tears fell from their eyes.

"Don't say that Ren!" Sakura shouted as she lost her cool. I looked at her in shock the times I saw her lost her cool can be counted on one hand and those were of the demons who killed our brothers and sister. "You're not a monster."

"You know what I did."

"We did the same thing as you Ren!" This time Yukino shouted at me with a glare.

"it's not the same for us. I killed not just because of revenge. I killed them for sport. Everytime I fought my enemies, I toyed with them, broke them, and slowly killed them painfully. I massacred countless people, humans and demons alike!" I shouted back.

Sakura and Yukino hugged me tight." I know you just don't want us to see you hurting."

" You don't want us to leave right? "Yukino asked as she made me look at them in the eyes. I NODDED my head shakily.

" I don't want the two of you to go. I'm always left behind by those I care for. I know that it's natural but I still can't stop. I want you both for myself but I can't. You have families. And people who like you that is not a killer." I said while trembling as I released my pent-up feelings for the two who just hugged me tighter and sobbed quietly.

" I don't want to leave! "" We eant to stay with you too! " The girls shouted as they cried and I HELD THEM TIGHT.

I'm being selfish now but I don't want to lose them. I consoled them and led us back to our shared room and slept with them.

A few days passed and I spent all the time with them, creating as many memories as possible. I was there when they were about to be summoned back to earth. I remember what they said back then.

"Wait for us. We will surely find you, so don't cheat on us okay?"

The chances of them really finding me were slim, I was sure that they wouldn't find me in time and they would move on but my instincts told me that they will find me. They gave me both a light kiss on the lips before they disappeared, leaving me a black ribbon and a pendant with Yukino's family emblem, before they left I gave the each a half of the crystal of my deceased sister in all but blood, Mavis who gave it to me a few months before she died to them.

I stepped down as a king and handed the postition to Vermillion. So far she is loved by the people and she does her job properly whil still having time to play with her younger siblings and some of my students. I smiled at them and told them that I was going back to earth. They understood why I had to go but I left to Mavis my chain-whip and Left them several journals so they can have a part of me with them.

It was fun, I got a magic photo of me that I can look at anytime I wabt, I was sitting on my throne surrounded by family member, me having a good time with my students, a candid shot of me playing with cubs on my throne and more. The kingdom had a festival that moved me to tears. They told me that I was a great leader and they did many things on my honor. When it was time for me to go they gave me a traditional Ignian send off and was given the blessing of our allies and their kingdoms.

I sat on a small couch in heaven as I was talking to an old man, the same one that gave me this chance to find out my true happiness.

"You could have stayed." he said and I merely smiled.

"I could, but I also have things to do here. And I intend to keep my end of the deal." I said and stood up about to head through the door.

"You could keep your powers, I know you won't use them for evil, unless it concerns something greater." I shook my head and smiled at him.

"That's true for now, but what if one day I lost my mind? At least I know I won't use your gifts again for harming others without cause." I opened the door and missed the smile that he gave me.

I opened my eyes.

I saw a white ceiling and heard the steady beeps of machines. I looked at the tubes hooked onto my body and tried to get up. I looked outside the window and saw a garden and skyscrapers in the background.

I'm back.

Suddenly, the doors opened and I smiled to my shocked mother and sister. They rushed towards me and saw Uncle Creed and auntie L along with my gym buddies. Heh! A long time ago I would have thought that they were just forced to be here, but now, I know that they are really worried for me.

"I'm back." I said happily before stretching and smiling at them. "I really had a nice dream you know."

They all looked me in shock before smiling as they proceeded to hug me.
