Demon Lord's Reincarnation

After talking to his classmates Erste led them out of the building they were in, once they were outside they were amazed by what they saw. In the sky, there were several floating land masses above their heads. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Those floating islands look to be very far from them, but they still looked very big, which made the students wonder if they were truly far away.

"What the f*ck is this place?!"

"Did we enter some sort of other dimension?"

"The f*ck we're not even on our planet anymore, where the hell is this?"

The group of jumpy students started panicking again making Nikki sigh, on the other hand, Erste was looking around with a certain hope in his heart.

"Okay everyone let's come down, we only have forty-six minutes left before that guy starts hunting us down. So the first thing we should do is find someplace to hide."

When the students heard Erste speak they all looked at him and even though they were still frightened they forced themselves to calm down as they nodded their heads. As the group were about to leave Nikki suddenly spoke.

"Wait, why do we need to hide from this lunatic? I say we go around and look for some weapons and take him down."

"Do you really think we can win against someone that could bring us to this kind of magical place?"

"Yeah, that Dude called himself a God so he must have some unreasonable abilities."

"That's right, how can we beat a God, I haven't even punched a person before."

"Only you and Erste know how to fight."

'If I were alone I might've given it a try but...' Erste once again looked at his classmates and sighed.

The group of students became rowdy again, but Nikki didn't really care about any of their opinions the only opinion she cared about was Erste's opinion. Nikki glanced at Erste who hasn't spoken yet.

While the group was waiting to hear Erste's answer, Erste himself was deep in thought. After hearing Nikki's suggestion, Erste became strangely excited. Even though his mind was telling him that the best way to survive was to hide, but somewhere deep down within him he wanted to fight the so-called New God. Still, when he looks at the frightened faces of his classmates he knew that he could not abandon them just so that he could seek the excitement in his heart, not only that, but there was also the thought of her being in this place. Overall Erste couldn't take the risk of facing off against the New God even if his very soul seems to be screaming at him telling him to fight.

'If I were alone I might've given it a try but...' Erste once again looked at his classmates and sighed.

"No, we shouldn't try to confront the person claiming to be a New God. We don't know what his capable of. So first we need to find a hiding spot and observe him, and while we're doing that we should also look if there are other people in this place."

Hearing Erste's answer Nikki had a look of disappointment on her face, on the other hand, the others had a relieved look on their faces. It was a good thing that Erste was with them if not they could not dare imagine what kind of death they would face with a leader like Nikki.

The group then started looking around the city, the first thing they did was get a mode of transportation so they found some bikes. While biking through the city Erste asked the others if they have ever been in a similar city before, and the answer was no. Also based on the style of the city it felt like it was from the last century or so.

"You guys wait here, I need to check something out." Before anyone could say anything else Erste burst out at an unbelievable speed. Seeing his fading back from a distance the group of students looked in awe.

"Is that guy really human?"

"The better Erste is the safer I feel."

"It's a good thing Erste is with us."

While the students were praising Erste, Nikki watched the incredible scene before her eyes and felt even more smitten by Erste.

'As expected of him.' Nikki had a beautiful smile on her face.

...

It took Erste who was pedaling as fast as he could a few minutes to arrive at the edge of the fake city. As he looked downwards he saw other islands of similar sizes and at the bottom, all he saw was an endless abyss. Erste wanted to see if he could go down but the moment he was at the edge he felt an invisible force stopping him from moving forward.

'I see, so it's like that...'

Erste sighed as he returned to the group and told them what he saw. After learning that there really was no escape from this place, which made them look gloomy again. Feeling the ups and downs in the emotions of his classmates Erste felt bad, on the other hand, Nikki had no noticeable fluctuation in her expression.

While the group was looking for a place to hide Erste spoke to Nikki.

"Nikki, aren't you worried?"

"Worried about what?"

"About all this, about our chances of surviving, about if we could ever could go home?"

"Heh, to be honest, I am a little worried but that's all there is to it. Worrying, getting scared, those things won't help us in surviving... Besides, I'm actually curious and quite excited about our current situation."

"Huh?"

"This place is right out of some sort of sci-fi novel, and the opponent is even claiming to be some sort of God. It's like I'm in one of those adventure novels I loved when I was a kid."

Nikki then showed an excited smile as she clenched her fist. Seeing her like that made Erste unconsciously smile as well.

"Well then, for now, let's do our best to survive." Erste extended his fist forward, Nikki was taken aback for a few seconds before she giggled and bumped Erste's fist with her own.
