Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Erste who was drinking felt something was off and he stood up and went out of the room. Upon looking outside he saw that the people in the other rooms were no longer there, in fact, he could no longer see anyone else and the hallway seemed to have changed.

"Guys, I have something to say and everyone should stay calm." Erste closed the door and spoke to everyone, the music stopped playing as everyone's attention was now on Erste. No one made a sound as they saw the seriousness on Erste's face.

"I don't know how else to say it so I'll just tell it to you guys straight we're no longer in the same place, we've been moved."

"Huh, what are you saying what do you mean we moved?"

Even after hearing what Erste said most of the students didn't understand the meaning of what he said, while some had a certain thought flashed by their minds but quickly tossed it out of their minds. Erste was about to say something more when a floating screen appeared in front of the group. The face of a handsome young man was shown on the screen.

"Welcome lowly humans to my playground. Normally I would be there to personally welcome you to the game but due to some nasty little bugs scurrying around the area I won't be able to do so. Still, I will be kind enough to tell you the rules of the game played in my playground."

When the students heard what the handsome young man had to say they became worried, what playground, what game, also the term lowly humans was used does that mean the person speaking wasn't a human? So many questions filled their heads but no answer would come, on the other hand, Erste's thoughts were spinning fast.

'Suddenly disappearing from our world and appearing in this new one, and that person said this is his playground and some bugs are scurrying around. Aside from us, there are other people here, but those guys seem to be causing trouble.' Erste already had a guess deep inside his heart and was getting excited, but for now, he needed to listen to this kidnapper's explanation.

"First of all allow me to introduce myself, I am the New God Re' Khe Hata, I have some authority over the element of fire."

Erste frowned when he heard the term New God, it made him feel varying emotions but the most prevalent emotion was that of excitement. Erste did not understand it but he felt like he wanted to fight this so called New God. Something within Erste was changing but he was unable to notice it at this time.

"The game in my little playground is quite simple, the only thing you guys need to do is SURVIVE for as long as possible."

"Survive, survive what?" One of the students suddenly asked.

"Survive me of course. After two hours from now, I'm going out to kill you. Don't worry since if I use all of my abilities then all of you would die immediately making the game boring. So the only ability I will be using is my authority over the element of fire."

The very moment the students heard the words kill you they froze as their hearts started beating wildly. Erste clenched his teeth as he spoke to the so-called New God.

"So how do we win this game?"

"Huh, win?" The New God Re' Khe Hata looked at the students with a dumbfounded expression and started laughing. "There seems to be a misunderstanding here, there is no such thing as you little humans winning, the best you could do as I said before is survive as long as you can. Let me once again clarify, this game is not between you guys and me, but it is a game between me and the other New Gods to see who can kill more humans the fastest."

The students hearing what Re' Khe Hata said were about to go crazy and wanted to release their emotions. Some wanted to scream, others wanted to cry, but no one did any of those as the feeling of fear they had for the New God Re' Khe Hata had stopped them.

"Alright, now that I said the rules, I hope you guys will not do stupid things like the previous bugs that are hiding. I'll give you two hours to prepare before I start hunting you down. So anyway, let the game begin!"

The floating screen disappeared and after a few seconds of silence, the students suddenly screamed and cried.

"What the f*ck is happening! What is this, the f*ck is this?!"

"This must be a dream, no this should be a nightmare. Yeah, this is all in my mind I just need to wake up and I'll be in my bed."

"This should be some kind of joke, right? What the sh*t is this, are we being pranked, were are the cameras?! Come one show yourselves you b*stards!"

The other students were in chaos all except for Nikki and Erste. Nikki who noticed the calm expression on Erste's face approached him.

"Do you know what's happening?" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

"No, I know just as much as you do, but panicking about it won't get as anywhere."

"So what should we do?"

"First thing is we need to make everyone else calm down first, but I don't know how to do that."

"Oh, is that all, well then leave that to me." Nikki smiled as she lifted her right leg upward and smashed it down onto the table destroying it. The students who were panicking stopped and looked at her. "Hey you losers stop your whining and listen to Erste he has something to say."

Nikki looked at Erste as if saying come on say what you need to say. Erste sighed before he started speaking.

"I know that all of you are scared and confused, but we have no time for that. No matter if this is real or not we still need to do something. The other party already said that he was going to give us two hours before he does anything so we need to use this hour wisely and instead of crying and shouting how about we go out there and look for other people?"

"Other people?"

"Yeah, he did say that little bugs are hiding. Maybe those guys who have made that psycho mad can help us."

The students were finally feeling a little bit better knowing that they weren't alone in this place, not only that, but seeing the calm expression on Erste's face made them feel safe.
