《How to become a Demon Lord》Prolog The Death of Ragen

Prolog
It was raining. Ragen stood outside of his house. There was still the smell of smoke in the air and some firefighters ran around. He had lost everything. His beautiful wife, his three kids, his house, his loyal dog just everything. He was working all day as a salarymen when the police called him. They told him it was just bad luck. The old house had rusty gaspipes. Nobody in the house noticed the gas and the tragedy tokk its way. Killing all of them. Now he was waiting. He didn’t know on what but he was waiting. Perhaps to wake up and realise it was all a nightmare or just to die and be again together with his family, but nothing happened. It was just raining.
One year later.
He walked out of a bar totally drunk. This world was too cruel for him. He had no family. After his loss he started to drink like a crazy man, but there was no end to his nightmares. His kids called him in his dreams to help them. His wife stood there on the other side of a river. She always smiled in his dreams until the flames came. The flames burned her body until there just an empty skull left who grinned at him, who mocked him. So he stopped sleeping and drunk alcohol. As much alcohol as one can buy. He drank all day. After a while friends and relatives stopped visiting him and he lost his job. They told him to forget this incident. To forget everything. HOW COULD HE EVER FORGET? He shouted this question at his boss. That was the end of his career. Now he stands in again in the rain. Looking into the night and drinking out of his bottle of vodka. There was no tomorrow for him. He looked down and up. Under him the lights of the city above him the darkness of the sky. He shouted: “If god exists than he is a cruel bastard”.

His mobilephone vibrated. A new message. Out of a long reflexe he looks at the screen. It was a message from a person called L. He never heard of a person named L. The message said: Hello pal, if you really hate god, than write your name and your wish back. I will hear it and you shall have a second chance.
He hesitated. A second chance for him? There was no way that this message was real. Perhaps some kind of advertisement. But what matters, he had already lost everything. He wrote his name back but didn’t write back his wish. He didn’t know what to wish. He started to think, he wanted his family back and his life in the society. But was that really possible. As he was thinking, another message came in. [Now and only now is the limited time to buy the new Elder Wizard War 3] He sighed and whispered: “I wish my life would be a game like this, then I just could level up and revive my family. Everything would be easily solved.” But life had never been easy or nice to him. So he stared at the city under him and leaned on the railing of the skyscraper.
In the distance he saw a little light, like a ball out of light. Perhaps an airplane or drone. So he leaned forward to see it better. As he leaned forward his mobile phone slipped out of his hands. He tried to grab it and leaned further until he had it in his hands. At that moment he noticed, that he lost his balance and fell over the railing.
He needed a moment to realise what happened and startet to scream but it was to late. He fell directly back to earth. After a moment of intense pain there was nothing but just dark nothingness and rain endless rain. His last expression was a smile. He could go back to his family.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
