“I the King of Centurion and as the representative of the Allied Countries recognizes Caecelius Centurion as the Hero of the world!”

The crowd cheered as the new hero has been born in the world. The hero bound to defeat the Demons and the ones who commands them.

“I will not fail you your Majesty! For my brother! FOR HUMANITY!”

“My God this is so boring! That guy isn’t here today, I’ll make sure to beat him up when he gets here tomorrow!” (Ethan)

“Hahaha, maybe that thing is dead. Well, it would be better for the world if it’s dead anyway” (Rebecca)

I heard my friends chided in the classroom, the one they were referring to was the molester who was allowed by the school to enroll despite the backlash from students. For months we have been teaching him a lesson for what he did. Just imagining what we did puts a smile on my face. But as I smiled someone called to me.

A loud thud was heard just outside the classroom window, and crowds began to gather. The one who called me was Molly the prettiest girl in the entire school, also the one I love the most.

“Kyle! A guy jumped from the roof!” (Molly)

We all saw his body just outside the window, his limbs twisted in ways that should be impossible, his skull cracked in the pavement below.

As we stood there shocked, I felt ecstatic, I don’t know, I just feel like it was right for him to suffer this way. His evil deeds have been punished! This is only right!

But then a huge explosion erupted in the classroom.

[Fall, Year 896 on the Imperial Calendar]

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you, Prince Caecelius Centurion, the Third Prince of Centurion!”

“I would like to welcome you to my Thirteenth Birthday, I hope you enjoy your night.” (Caecelius)

Claps could be heard across the ballroom. I, Caecelius Centurion is celebrating my 15th Birthday. People wearing colorful clothes cheered and directed their attention to the prince as he descended to the ballroom.

Many girls surrounded me; thus, it took me a while before I could have some time of my own.

A girl then walked up to me after I got out of that situation, she was the same age as me and the daughter of the duke of Oleandar the wealthiest family in the Kingdom, also, a friend whom I have been with since before I was born in this world.

“Well, well, well, having fun? oh your Royal Highness, Caecelius.” (Fae)

“We both know I get weirded out when you call me that. How would you feel if I call you Fae… Ethan?” (Caecelius)

“Hahahaha, well I wouldn’t mind afterall–” (Fae)

“Ethan, Kyle! It’s been a while!” (Alex)

“You guys are too close, you’ll spread rumors. Also stop using those names.” (Rue)

Two people approached us, the one wearing a military uniform is the son of the Marquis, Alex Corentine. And the one wearing a dress is Rue Narra. Like me and Fae, they are reincarnators too. Alex was my classmate and a friend, we always interacted and he helped me put the molester in place back in our world. Rue was once my teacher, she was in our class when the explosion happened, she’s nice to us and make sure to protect the girl from the vile thing the school allowed inside the school.

“Teach, did you find the others? Molly told me she’ll be with us in Spring when school starts. The other three said the same thing.” (Caecelius)

“At the moment there are six others in my country, don’t worry we are currently protecting them to make sure they are far from this war.” (Rue)

“How many died?” Fae asked with a dark impression.

“Out of the 35, 12 has perished.” (Rue)

“We need to hurry up, we can’t lose more.” (Alex)

There were 30 of us who was transferred in this world. How do we know? Because our teacher has a skill that allows her to know that. That was how she found us. The day when she told me her secret was 6 years ago, at the time I thought I was the only one but she came to me. At the time 3 has already perished, so she began moving to save her students. I don’t know how she did it but she successfully found 14 of her students.

[Spring, Year 897 on the Imperial Calendar]

As I prepared to depart to the Academy, I saw my brother who just returned from the war. He was still wearing an armor and a cloak.

In this world he is the Hero, given the power of the Spirits to fight the Demons. That person is Alexander Wren Centurion, my brother and the one and only Hero in this world.

“Brother!” (Caecelius)

I ran to him the moment I saw him, hugging him with a smile on my face.

“Cae! You’ve grown! Haha!” (Alexander)

“What are you doing here brother? Have you won against them?” (Caecelius)

“Haha, if only it could be that easy. I’m here to bring some reports for our father his majesty and also to give you something, Atticus.” (Alexander)

A man wearing a white armor held an egg on his hand. It was covered in crimson cloth. That man is Atticus Oleandar, my brother’s bestfriend and a paladin. Together with my brother they are the vanguard of the army to fight against the Demons.

“This here is a dragon egg. I am told you’re about to enter the academy, so you should have a familiar. This one is found in the South near the Abyssal Canyon, in the Demonic Forest. Whatever comes out of here is sure to be powerful.” (Alexander)

Chills shot up on my spine the moment the Abyssal Canyon was uttered. One of my classmates perished in that place. I tried to hide my emotion with a smile and asked another question.

“So where are you going now brother?” (Caecelius)

“Me and Attic are heading back to the East after this, the Sage Merl is currently in the North with the Church’s Paladins fighting the Demon Lord of Envy’s army. So, the Allied army in the East requested for more help.” (Alexander)

“That’s cool! Goodluck brother I am going to continue packing my stuff for now. Thankyou for your gift!” (Caecelius)

My brother waved at me as I walked towards my room, but then I heard some guards talking.

“Is the hero sure about this? The East is kinda–“

“I know, everyone thinks this operation is insane. This is suicide.”

“Shut your mouths, we’re still in the castle, your head will be removed from your body if they hear you say that.”

The east, the most volatile region in this entire war. For 15 years the border has not moved an inch. Tens of thousands has perished trying to take even just an inch of it, yet all their sacrifice was for nothing.

The north may be the home of the Demon King and five of the demon lords but the east was different. It has become the center commerce despite the war. It was centuries ahead of other countries when it comes to technological advancement. But most importantly…

It is the home of the Demon of the East. Sloth the Devil.
