INFINITY AWAKENING

<CHAPTER 2> IDENTITY

Thanks to the hard work of Nichiro, Shiro, and the citizens who helped each other and rebuilt the houses of the burned villagers, finally the houses of the residents are finished with a matter of days that usually can be up to almost weeks after helping the residents for days, after helping the residents for days, Nichiro ended up sleeping very soundly near the village of the residents so as not to be suspected of the demons for disappearing for days. the residents were questioned by the demons about the whereabouts of Nichiro and Shiro for being invisible for several days. But the residents did not admit that Nichiro and Shiro were in the village and claimed that they were tortured with a very painful torture, that their village was burned by Nichiro and Shiro. the demons believed the words of the villagers because the rumors circulating among the demons were also the same, namely that the village of the humans was burned by the demon commanders Shiro and Nichiro. The villagers say such a thing so that Shiro and Nichiro are not suspicious of the demons. Nichiro who is sleeping very fast is found by the demons who are looking for the existence of Nichiro. But the Devil did not wake up Nichiro, because the Devil thought that Nichiro was very slumbering to sleep because it burned the villagers with enormous power. making the demons touched and proud of Nichiro for his great action of burning down the homes of residents until the residents were tortured. When the real thing happened was that Nichiro helped the villagers, not burned the villagers.

A sleeping Nichiro dreams that he will become a demon king while collecting 8 magical objects. Nichiro who initially slept very soundly became awakened due to the dream. The awakened Nichiro constantly thinks about the dream, whether the dream will come true or not. Nichiro who spent days thinking about the dream will finally find the truth in a book about any prophecy where ahead, the book is called FUTURUM. In the book there are also predictions that are proven true, one of which is a prophecy about a human being who will travel through the universe. What is very clear is that it refers to Nichiro who is traveling through the universe in order to defeat all the demon kings and collect 8 magical objects in order to save the universe. But one of the book's prophecies said, that there would be someone human who was originally very good like a hero, until adored and praised by all humans but became a demon king because too often saw the closest people die. What is clear is that the prophecy refers back to Nichiro. Nichiro who reads the prophecy of the book thinks that he can become a hero without becoming a demon lord, "hmmm if you think... I'm strong I should be able to change that prophecy by becoming a hero without becoming a demon". But there is one of the words that Nichiro misses: the person closest to him dies. That will be the key in the future Nichiro will become a Demon King or Human Hero. Nichiro who is in an identity crisis becomes very diligent and always helps the villagers to be praised and labeled as a very meritorious hero. The citizens who saw Nichiro was very changed and thirsty for praise became sad for the nature of Nichiro who is now.

Nichiro who always thirsts for recognition and praise from the villagers makes the villagers slowly away from Nichiro."WHY ARE YOU GUYS STAYING AWAY FROM ME?!! WHY?!! WHAT'S WRONG??" Nichiro

who does not know his fault where can only be confused and wonder why his self is shunned by the citizens. While Shiro who always helps the citizens but with a very sincere heart and without the slightest recognition from the citizens makes Shiro like a real Hero. Nichiro who does not accept if Shiro who is considered a hero is trying to get rid of Shiro by killing him. Nichiro makes a plan so that he can kill Shiro and humiliate him in the presence of all the villagers who consider Shiro as a hero, Nichiro will get rid of and make Shiro Shame in front of all the villagers.The next day Nichiro who has made a plan carefully comes to Nichiro who is helping the villagers who are building a bridge, "Shiro here dong bentar, there is something I must tell you". After Shiro moves away from the citizens and comes to Nichiro, Shiro is suddenly exposed to a trap that has been made by Nichiro and Nichiro makes Shiro faint with a Skill called Sleep, making Shiro fall asleep for a while. Then Nichiro takes Shiro to a place far from the settlement of citizens and demons. Shiro is taken by Nichiro to a hut he has built that is already part of Nichiro's plan. While putting Shiro on the floor of the hut, Nichiro sees Shiro

falling asleep which was originally Nickiro would have*MEMPE**HMUMILUKAN* Shiro which was the first plan from Nichiro.

Shiro was crying because he saw a very changed and different Nichiro from the previous Nichiro, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS NICHIROO????, WHAT MAKES YOU LIKE THIS??!!, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT OUR TOGETHERNESS ALL THIS TIME??, I ALREADY TRUSTED MU NICHIROO!!! BUT YOU WANT TO KILL ME!! WHYAAA?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MU NICHIROO???!!!!". Again, Nichiro ignored Shiro's question and began to cut the skin from Shiro. When the kitchen knife slashed Shiro's skin, Shiro's blood came out of his skin very much. "AAAAAHHHHHGGGGG", Shiro was in a lot of pain due to the incision, but Nichiro and did not care about Shiro anymore. Nichiro had so much fun about the torture. After days of torturing, killing, and resurrecting Shiro, Nichiro finally stops after Nichiro runs out of energy. When Shiro was last resurrected after Nichiro's energy ran out, Nichiro beheaded Shiro and was shown in the village of the residents. The citizens who saw Shiro's head cut off became very frightened because the only sincere hero there was only Shiro. Nichiro was already like a Demon King in the eyes of the citizens.

nichiro's cruelty continues to haunt the citizens "WHO DIDN'T SAY THAT I AM YOUR GREATEST SAVIOR, THEN YOU WILL BE LUCKY JUST LIKE SHIRO!!". But the citizens remained steadfast in their stance and were unwilling to admit that Nichiro was their hero, as Nichiro was the real Demon King for the citizens. As a result, many heads of residents scattered and the smell of blood has also covered the entire village. Until finally, the last villagers who lived there were also beheaded by Nichiro for not wanting to admit that Nichiro was their hero just like other villagers. Nichiro who has killed all the villagers becomes confused who will admit it, Nichiro feels very lonely and finally he feels guilty for killing the residents and Shiro who is completely innocent "WHYWHY??? WHY DID I KILL ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR A CONFESSION??? WHYAAA???? IF I HADN'T KILLED THEM I WOULD'VE BEEN A GREAT HERO TO EVERYONE".

But Nichiro finally came to his senses after having a dream that said that 'Being a hero is not about getting compliments and being recognized by everyone but how sincere it is when sacrificing petrified those in need', The dream made Nichiro realize the true meaning of being a hero. But Nichiro wakes up because someone slapped him in the face, Turns out it was Shiro. It turns out that the events before her were just Nichiro's dream. Nichiro who has been sleeping for weeks or even months finally woke up because of Shiro's slap. Nichiro immediately apologized to Shiro and all the villagers for his mistakes made during the dream. Nichiro, who was crying thankfully because of the incident that was done by Nichiro, was just a dream when he fell asleep. Nichiro apologized until the citizens forgave them. But the villagers and Shiro, who do not know Nichiro, are wrong, who can only accept Nichiro's apology. Nichiro also promises that he will soon save the villagers from the cruelty of the Demon King who colonized their village.

...'that's the end of the story this time, finally Nichiro finds the meaning of being the real hero that is "Being a hero is not about being praised and acknowledged by everyone but how genuine it is when it comes to making sacrifices to people in need". Nichiro also promises to defeat the Demon King soon'....
