Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"This is... dark magic! You bastard!"

After her limbs were firmly fixed by countless black threads and she had completely lost her ability to move, Karin, who was once a high-level warrior, finally reacted.

She was not only angry because she was deceived, but also realized how weak she was now - if the fifth-level fighting spirit was still there, how could she be bound by such magic?

"Please don't waste your energy. Although this is just a low-level dark magic, the strength of these threads I released is probably at the level of sixth level."

"What... sixth level!? Who are you!?"

Xia Ye, whose eyes flashed with blood-red demonic light and whose horns burned with strange black flames, looked almost out of the concept of an alien at this time.

And the suffocating sense of oppression and the simple but powerful magic all proved her abnormality.

"... I need an explanation."

But at this time, Aarons, who was completely fixed in the seat, calmed down instead.

He really couldn't fully understand the abnormality in front of him, but Xia Ye was not a monster who couldn't communicate.

So he took the initiative to speak out his thoughts, seeking an answer that he could understand.

——Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die with a clear mind.

"Sorry... Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Lan Xia Ye, the former staff officer of the Fourth Corps of the Demon Clan's pioneering army, the Huojiao Clan."

"Demons from a thousand years ago!? How is that possible!?"

Kalin's remaining sanity was shattered by this bizarre answer.

If the black silk thread had not almost completely wrapped her body, she might have rushed up to fight Xia Ye to the death.

"Demons? How can a thousand-year-old demon live to this day?"

"Not all of them are like this, Master Aarons. Although demons like us are much stronger than ordinary humans, most of them only live for a mere two hundred years."

Although he had revealed his true identity, Xia Ye still addressed Aarons with honorifics, which made Aarons determined to continue the conversation.

"I was lucky enough to successfully advance to level seven in this world, and only then did I gain an immeasurable long life."

"I'm sorry that I'm a talentless waste who doesn't understand the difference between these levels... But I guess this is not all good for you, right?"

Aarons had no knowledge of combat, but he felt a trace of sadness from Xia Ye's description-

After all her fellow tribesmen died at that time, how long did she wander alone in this world?

"You are really too perceptive... Although the demons like us have talents and strengths far beyond humans, we have an insurmountable weakness."

While talking about her own things calmly, Xia Ye slowly walked towards Aarons. The faint madness in her blood-red eyes made her originally cold and beautiful appearance even more charming.

"We must regularly devour living souls with a lot of negative emotions to maintain our sanity. Otherwise, we will become crazy monsters without will, constantly destroying everything visible until our lives end."

"...Did you invade this world to devour human souls?"

"Although this is just my one-sided statement...but our Jiaojiao tribe was not a warlike tribe back then. We once suggested that other tribes live in peace with humans, but we could not stop the expanding greed."

Aarons did not know much about the history of the demon war. He only knew that most of the demons who invaded this world at that time were eventually destroyed by human warriors.

Since Xia Ye is a member of the demon clan who survived by chance, she should also need to devour souls frequently.

"So now, is it time for you to devour souls?"

"...You are so smart and kind and compassionate, I really don't want to attack you...but I am already on the verge of my limit and have to do such a despicable thing."

Xia Ye is a demon. She must devour souls with a lot of negative emotions to maintain her survival. To her, Aarons was nothing more than food necessary for survival.

The two races were not on the same level from the beginning, so they could not understand each other at that time.

"... Well, I am not qualified to ask others to give up their lives for me. Although it is really unlucky... Hahahaha, it is really too unlucky!"

At this time, Aarons could only laugh out loud.

In the original world, he traveled through time because of the bankruptcy of his business, and after traveling through time, he was worried because his family business was about to be ruined. After finally solving the small problem, he encountered an irresistible predator.

If my life must be unluckyIf he is haunted by bad luck, maybe it would be more comfortable to die like this.

"I'm really sorry... I will fulfill your wish and find a place for the rest of this family to live."

"Humph, since you've said this, I have nothing to regret."

In this one-sided situation, Xia Ye didn't need to lie to him.

This demon woman may really not want to hurt others easily, but her own weaknesses and desire to survive forced her to do something against her will.

"What we, the Jiaojiao clan, must take is the 'memory' in the soul, and I will only extract all your memories... But in this way, you will become a zombie who has forgotten even the instinct to breathe and eat."

At this time, Xia Ye gently clasped his right hand on Aarons' head, and the cold touch did make Aarons feel a little scared.

"Hey! You damned devil! If you want souls, why don't you come and eat mine!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Karin... The reason we brought the Inhumans here was because your souls couldn't calm our madness."

After the last glimmer of hope was wiped out, Aarons and Karin fell silent.

In front of such an opponent, even if they struggled with all their might, they couldn't escape their predetermined fate.

So in the end, Aarons still laughed.

"Okay, I hope it doesn't hurt."

"I'm sorry, Master Aarons, please forgive me... [Soul Capture]."

So, the real world in front of Aarons was destroyed.

——He saw the scene of being bullied by classmates and criticized by teachers in middle school. He also saw the scene of leaving the campus alone when he graduated from college.

——The girlfriend he finally found in his twenties spent a lot of money on him, but in the end she turned around and married someone else. And when his career was just starting in his thirties, his parents unfortunately died of illness one after another.

——When he was forty, the only career he could devote his energy to collapsed because of a wrong decision.

If this was the revolving lantern of his entire life in his previous life, then there was too much sadness in it.

"So! I haven't even had a good life in this life, why... eh?"

However, when the gray memories quietly faded away, Aarons suddenly opened his eyes, but found himself still sitting on the chair in the reception room of the Marquis's Mansion.

In front of him was Xia Ye, who had restored her previous appearance but showed a rare expression of astonishment.

"It turned out to be... the memory of two worlds? Who are you, Zhou..."

"Hey, wait a minute! Don't expose people's past!"

Looking at the demon beauty who almost said his name in his previous life, Aarons was forced to make a loud noise to cover up the other party's surprised words in time.
