THE BOOK OF Z

When Zeroth reached the Demon realm, he started to look for someone, who could help him. Suddenly, he saw three demons nearby and approached them.

They looked like a human with demonic horns, and half of their body was covered in black. They were wearing an black armour.

One of them on seeing Zeroth shouted fiercely, " Intruder" and then with his sword attacked Zeroth, Zeroth dodged his attack and said, " I am a human and I came here seeking for more strength "

Then the demon who attacked him stopped and asked, " A human?, but how did you come here?".

" I was sent here by my Master, he told me that the Demons can help me to become more strong. "

Then that demon thought for a while and said, " okay, come with me."

Zeroth followed him. The Demon first pa.s.sed through a very advanced area which looked like the residential place of the demons after which he entered a huge castle, which was filled with higher rank demons, who were seated in an order and in the center a huge demon was seated on the throne.

The demon then approached the throne and said, " My Lord, The Demon King, this person claims to be a human, who was send here by his master to seek more strength. "

When the Demon King saw Zeroth, he felt an strange aura being emitted from Zeroth and then said to Zeroth, " I am Tratus, the current Demon King. You are not an ordinary person, your aura seems to be very familiar. ", then the Demon King paused for a while and then said, " Who are you, who has send you here and do you know Leon?."

" Yes, I am Leon's son, Zeroth. My masters name is Alan. "

" So you are the son of Leon and the student of Alan. They both are very dear friends of mine. How are they?"

" They both have died "

" Tell me how did this happen and who did this?"

Zeroth then told The Demon King everything about the The book of Z and how the Dark G.o.d had killed Leon, Alan and other innocent people to gain more strength.

Then the Demon king became sad and said, " It is because of me that my friends had to die. I gave Leon the responsibility of keeping safe the book of Z, It was created by the greatest Demon king, Zenon. Zenon realized the destruction this book could cause and decided to destroy it, but before he could destroy it The G.o.d - Demon war started. The G.o.ds and the Demons were the strongest that lived at that point, so it led to a war between them to prove themselves more powerful and superior to the other one. The war lasted for about decades. The war resulted in both the clans being sealed. Then about 7 years ago from now, Leon broke the seal of the demon clan and also of the G.o.d clan. Both the demons and the G.o.ds started trusting Leon more than anyone and then Leon told us to stop the fight between each other and to become each others allies. From that day The G.o.d and the Demon clan never had any disputes. As a reward I gave him the power of Demons. Leon was a very powerful wizard, so I asked him to destroy the book of Z, but even his strength was not enough to destroy it, then I gave him the responsibility of keeping the book of Z safe. I appreciate him for keeping the book safe for such a long period of time, but now we must get the book back and find a way to destroy it. "

" Yes, but how will we get it back?"

" The demon clan has still not recovered its strength and would be no match in front of the wielder of the book ofZ. It has to be you who will stop him. I can feel the Demon aura in you,Leon must have transferred his demon power into you before he died. You haven't unlocked your potential yet. So let me help you."

Then The demon King approached Zeroth and then kept his hand on the chest of Zeroth and chanted some words. Then suddenly Zeroth felt an extreme amount of pain and fell on the ground.

" You must endure it Zeroth.", said the Demon King.

Zeroth thought about his parents, Alan and others, those who lost their life protecting others. Then Zeroth released his entire Strength and then the pain stopped.

" You have pa.s.sed the trial Zeroth, and now you can use the Demon magic whenever you like. When you use the Demon

Then Zeroth recalled the time when his one eye had turned black and that had led to an increase in the power of Astridous. Then he thought that, ' All of it makes sense now.'

Then the Demon King felt an another poweful magical aura being emitted from Zeroth and said," I can feel another powerful magical aura being emitted from your pocket, What is it?".

Zeroth then checked his pocket and then pulled out a black stone which has small white symbols on it and said, "Are you talking about this?".

Demon King was shocked to see that stone and said, " Yes, How did you get it?".

" I won this from a duel. "

" There is no doubt about it, that stone is the Creator stone. "

" The creator stone?".

" Yes, there are only two creator stones in this universe. It was created by the Supreme One, the one who was above all the clans. Before his death he gave away one stone to the Demon clan and the other one to the G.o.d clan. After the G.o.d - Demon war, both the stones went missing. Luckily you were able to find one of them."

" What does this Creator stone do?".

" It is a soul stone but quite a different one, unlike other soul stones which can contain only one soul, this creator stone can contain two souls at once and the wielder of the stone can even fuse both of them together and inherit their strength. ". Then the Demon King paused for a while and then said, " Come with me, Zeroth ".

The Demon King led Zeroth to a cave, which was situated at a great distance from the Castle. The cave looked very ancient and it emitted a tremendous amount of energy from it.

Then the Demon King said, " During the G.o.d - Demon war, Zenon used up his entire strength to protect his clan, this resulted in him loosing his body. It is believed that his soul is still somewhere trying to gather his powers again. I believe that his soul lies inside that cave. The energy that cave is emitting is even greater than all the Demons put together. "

" If you think Zenon is still in this cave, have you ever send someone inside to feel his presence or contact with him?", asked Zeroth.

"Yes, i have send many Demons inside it to contact with him but we never got any response from it. As you have the Creator stone with you, I think you should also try to contact with him. "

" Okay, I will try", after which Zeroth entered the Cave.

When Zeroth entered the Cave, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything. Then suddenly there was light in the cave, then Zeroth looked around to see from where the light came, then he saw that at the end of the cave there was a red stone embedded on the wall and it was emitting powerful bright flames which brightened the entire Cave. Zeroth then approached that stone.

After approaching the stone he noticed that there was a small hole in that stone and then suddenly the Creator stone, which was in his hands started to s.h.i.+ne. Zeroth then kept the Creator stone inside that red stone.

Then suddenly he was surrounded with darkness and could see a dark red light in front of him. The light said, " Who are you and what do you seek from me. I am the strongest Demon, Zenon."

" I am Zeroth and I need your help.", said Zeroth.

" What help do you need?".

" The book of Z,which was created by you has fallen into the hands of a evil human and he threatens to destroy our world."

" The thing I feared the most has finally come true. Once he inherits all the power of the Book of Z, he will know everything about this universe and will attack other Realms and Clans and cause a lot of destruction. He must be stopped. I will help you in stopping him. Now for about centuries I had been trying to get my body back but I just realized it now that there is no way of getting it back, so Instead I would go with you and explore the other world. But if I go with you, a G.o.ddess's soul which i had sealed here during the G.o.d - demon war will be released. I am afraid that she might attack the Demon realm in my absence. "

" I will also asked her to help me."

" Do you think that a G.o.ddess will join hands with a demon and that too with me, the one who had sealed her."

" I must try as this problem is not just for the Humans or the Demons, it is for everyone in this universe and we would be needing her strength also to defeat him."

" Yes you're right child, so I will lead you to the place I sealed her."

Zeroth now was again in front of the end of cave, he then removed the Creator stone from the red stone. After which that wall moved and Zeroth noticed that beyond that wall there was an another area.

As soon as Zeroth entered that area, he was again surrounded by darkness and could see a s.h.i.+ning white light in front of him.

" Why did you come here?", asked that light fiercely.

" I want your help in stopping an evil person, he pose a threat to the entire universe. Zenon has also agreed to help me."

" Zenon...., It was him who sealed me here, how dare you think that I will work together with a Demon and that too with Zenon. I am the G.o.ddess of Truth, Leisa. I no longer care about the universe as my home, the G.o.d clan has been sealed."

" The G.o.d clan is now no longer sealed as the seal of both the G.o.d clan and of the Demon clan was broken by my father. Now both the clans doesn't have hate for each other and they have now become each other's allies."

" I can sense that you are not lying. Let me once try to feel the presence of the G.o.d clan", then Leisa paused for a while and then said, " Yes, I can feel their presence however it's very light. I am very grateful to your father, and I will help you defeat that person. Raise your soul stone. "

" Thank You ", said Zeroth, after which he raised the Creator stone and the soul entered it. Then Zeroth left the cave.

Then Zeroth approached Tratus and said, " You were Right, Zenon was there inside the cave."

" What happened, did you meet him?", asked Tratus.

" Yes, and he agreed to help me in stopping the person who has the Book of Z."

" Where is he?"

Then Zeroth pulled out the Creator stone and said, " They are inside this Stone".

" What do you mean by they?"

" There was also a G.o.ddess soul inside the cave, she also agreed to help me and is in his stone with Zenon."

" Zeroth, You really are something. ", then Tratus paused for a while and then said, "Could you please ask Zenon that when would he take his duty as the Demon King again?".

Then Zeroth concentrated for a while and then said, " Zenon is saying that there is no need for him to become the Demon King again as you are capable to be the Demon King and he is proud of you. "

" Thank you, Zenon.", then Tratus raised his hands and then chanted some words after which a golden ring appeared in his hands. Tratus then gave that ring to Zeroth and said, " It will be of use in keeping the Creator stone."

" Thank you ", said Zeroth. After which he took the ring and placed the stone inside it and then wore it. Then Zeroth paused for a while and then said, " Now, could you please tell me a way to return to my world?".

" There's no need for that now, you can just emerge with Zenon and reach any destination you would like to go", then Tratus paused for a while and then continued, "Zeroth, Now go and defeat that person. I believe in you."

Then Zeroth thanked Tratus and concentrated for a while and said, " Merge, Zenon ". Then Zeroth's looks were completely changed, he had now red demonic horns, black wings and also had a black tail. Zeroth's body was now half covered in black, his eyes had turned black and were now emitting bright flames.

Then Zeroth said, " Zenon, please teleport me to the place where you can sense the power of The Book of Z."

Then Zeroth was teleported. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was back to his normal form and found himself in Salvac and he noticed that the entire city was filled with darkness.

Then Zeroth said, " So the ceremony has begun.". Then Zeroth concentrated for a while and said," Demon form". Zeroth's demon form looked same as that when he had merged with Zenon,except that in this form he didn't had tail and his eyes were not emitting flames.

Then Zeroth said, " Summon Astridous and t.i.tanius. "
