《Post-Living》Chapter 12: An Actual Twist

"N..Nyx..! What THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" said Reus, who was looking at them from the Sphinx's mouth.
Chris: H..hngh..agh...
Nyx: I got you all figured out, Chris. Hahaha, you..
Chris: W..wh..why...
Nyx: You knew about the Egyptian Gods, you also knew about that riddle that Oedipus answered in the myths. But, how the hell did you know about those? They weren't Gods here, they were only Beasts. On top of that, there are no books nor people talking about these beast, because if they were, they certainly would've already built a religion out of these guys. Tell me, where did you get the knowledge of th-
Nyx pulled out the scythe and Chris dropped down on the sand and didn't make a move.
Xiel and the others were shocked at what Nyx did, and they stood there in horror..
Chris still hasn't moved an inch, and is probably dead.
Nyx: ...wait, did I make a mistake?
Vor: Ny..Nyx! Why.. why tHE HELL DID YOU STAB HIM?!
Reus ran to Nyx angrily, and held him on his neck then raised him upwards.
Reus: YOU.. YOU BASTARD!
Nyx didn't even bother to show his arrogance, nor fight back. He felt the guilt of what he has done, and tried to reason with Reus..
Nyx: Look, I- I didn't mean to..!
Reus: YOU STABBED HIM RIGHT IN THE GOD DAMN CHEST, HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT MEAN THAT?! YOU...
Nyx didn't even think on how his friends would react, and just stab in the spot. He was so busy in figuring out what Chris is hiding that he didn't even consider that he might be.. wrong.
Nyx: He-, I.. I thought-
He was speechless, and couldn't give a reason to why he did what he did.
Nyx: I..I'm sorry..
Reus dropped Nyx, and went back to the mouth.
All of them didn't know what to say.. well, until..
???: Are you guys done yet..?
A familiar voice spoke, and it left all of them in awe.
???: Damn it, it really does take a while to regen..
Chris stood up from the pool of blood that he was laying on, and glared at Nyx.
Chris: This is for what you did, asshole.
He teleported behind Nyx and held him upside down. Then, Nyx didn't consider fighting him, as he was too busy figuring out how the hell did he do that..?
With his magic, Chris twisted Nyx's body. He twisted it so hard that Nyx exploded, making him drop his scythe. He regenerated eventually, but all the clothes that he was wearing were teared off so he was standing in the scorching heat.. naked.
The rest had the same expression that they have minutes ago.
Chris: See, now we're even.
Nyx: Wait.. so it's true? I'm correct?
Chris: It seems that you've figured me out, Nyx. I commend you for that..
Nyx: You're just.. like me?!
Chris: The fuck, no. No, I'm not. God, you actually haven't figured me out yet?
Nyx: Huh, but I thought.. I thought you were immortal, too..?
Chris: *Sigh* Fuck, I fell for the same trick..

Chris then opened up a portal and went in, then went out again. He was still wearing his bloodied clothes when he came in, and just seconds later, he went out, wearing a black jacket and a cloak.
Nyx: That's a rather.. weird fashion sense.
Chris: Says the one who's naked.
Nyx is confused about the sudden development of the events.
Nyx: (I stabbed him, then he got up minutes later. Then, he twisted me and teared off my clothes, he then opens up a portal and.. comes out wearing a weird ass outfit..)
He still haven't figured it out, he thought that Chris is immortal but how could he get all these powers?
Then, he thought of another way of finding out what the hell Chris really is.. he's just going to have to ask.
Nyx: Wait.. are.. are you immortal?
Chris: Ah, no.
Nyx: What?! Then how..
Chris: I have a really fast regenerative ability even though it takes minutes to actually patch deadly wounds..
Nyx: So.. you're not like me? How.. then.. what?!
Chris: No, I didn't come from your world, if you're asking. What, did you think I'm also reincarnated?
Nyx: Y-yeah.
Chris: Cute. No, I'm actually the one you have to face here.. I pissed Gaia off so much and now she wants me dead, haha.
Then it clicked. Nyx knew who he was now..
Nyx: Wait, you... you said you were sheltered right?
Chris: Yep.
Nyx: Then, you're a royalty..
Chris: That's right.
Nyx: But you're not.. you're not from here? You're..
Chris: Not human, yes.
Nyx: Then..
Chris: GOD, WHAT THE HELL, YOU'VE ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT, JUST SAY IT! AGH, FINE I'LL SAY IT, YOU'RE DRAGGING THIS FOR WAY TOO LONG.
Nyx: ...
Chris: I'm the Demon King.
Everyone had the same reaction again, but this time, it's worse.
Chris: Yeah, I figured as much.
Nyx: You.. YOU'RE THE DEMON KING!?!?!?!?
Chris: I did just say it, didn't I?
His demeanor didn't change. The blonde hair remained but his blue eyes went bloodshot red. It showed the sign of someone from a royal family. Nyx didn't expect this.. literally, no one expected it.
Chris: Yeah, uhmm, let's see, where do I start...
No one said a word while Chris was hovering above them.
Chris: My real name is actually Chris Excrima Re Maouze. I'm the one you'll be killing, Nyx. When I took over the throne, I became friends with Gaia.
Nyx: Gaia..? You know her!?
Chris: Yeah, I'm getting to that. Oh, well, ages ago, my kind invented something revolutionary, you see. The invention is a mirror, which they created using forbidden magic and all that. I'm very fond of those, so I was the lead scientist in creating that invention. The mirror let me see what's beyond. Beyond this world, no, this universe. I expected something life changing, and all but.. all I saw was a girl. A girl who looked very young, watching on a virtual box. She saw me, and pulled me into the mirror.
Nyx: ....
Chris: It was a fun time, to be honest. She told me all about these worlds and universes, and that she was the one facilitating all of it. I didn't believe it, but I eventually did because she created a whole universe right infront of me,

Nyx: ...
Chris: Then, in that place, I learned about the worlds, and that's how I learned about the myths and legends of your world. I was really fascinated with yours, and I kept reading a book that Gaia used to track progress on your growth. I think she saw me being really jumpy and excited when I look at your world on her telescope.
Nyx: What the fuck..
Chris: Well, it doesn't stop there. She proposed a bet to me. She said if I could take care of your world nicely, she'd give it to me. But, she said to be careful, because she was getting these "Subtitutes" things from your world. From my interfering, I managed to make your world a better place. Reduced mortality rate, World peace, Less poverty.. your world became a paradise. But they also became more curious.. and without any problems to solve, they started to look for more. Millions of years later, you're all immortals.
Nyx: ......................................
Chris: I indirectly caused your suffering, tee-hee.
Skree: (Shit.. uhh, Nyx?)
Chris: Gaia got real mad, because without her subtitutes, she had to do things herself. She then became more and more tired, then became more and more angry at me. She then pushed me out her place, took me back here, and I realized that millions of years also had pass in my world. Everything.. changed, without me knowing. So I rebuilt everything. Gaia was kind "enough" to give me the history of my own world, and I researched everything. I eventually found an unknown place, put all the remaining demons there then boom, the Demon race is back.
Xiel: W..what's the point in telling us all of this?
Chris: I'm not telling it for you, I'm telling it for Nyx. Anyway, Gaia still had a grudge but she wants me back up there to help her figure out how to return them to mortals again. But, sadly, she can't just pull away lives. I also don't want to go there, you all got boring after millions of years. I said that to here, and I also said that I don't want to. She got pissed but she can't do anything but cast disasters. It stopped for a while, I think Gaia figured out how to get your kind back to being mortals, Nyx, but apparently she only got you.. or you 2? Then, if I want to be killed, why not make it exciting.. so I had my army pillage villages and destroy cities. It was for the resources, and probably for the heck of it.
Reus spoke up, and asked a question that he wants to address..
Reus: So.. you were the one who called the demons on that dungeon?
Chris: Yep. Actually, I just heard an unknown item there. The history of this world is so damn long, I skipped parts of it. So I didn't know there was a secret unknown item laying in the last floor. I just wanted to test that guy over there,
He pointed at Nyx, and laughed.
Xiel: Then.. why kill us as well?
Chris: I don't need all of you. Taking out the trash, like they say. Well, I kinda wanted to study you, and apparently I studied all of your friends now. Be wary of him, though,
He pointed at Vor, and laughed.
Chris: Well then, I must be going. My people there neeeeds me now, after all, I left for 4 months? I don't really know..
Nyx: ...COME DOWN HERE, YOU FUCK!
He grabbed his scythe, and slashed it in mid air, creating dark waves.
Nyx: YOU MADE ME DO ALL OF THIS, JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR LITTLE FUCKING FEUDS?!
Chris smiled, and opened up a portal. The portal absorbed the Dark waves and Chris opened up another portal next to Nyx. The waves went out of the portal, slicing Nyx in different parts.
Chris: Why, was my act convincing? It's hard to figure out, wasn't it? You even had another conclusion, haha. Byeeee~
Chris opened up a portal, and vanished.
Xiel: He... he was the.. DEMON KING?!?
Nyx: ...
Vor: Nyx..?
Reus: I-I'm sorry, Nyx, I didn't know.
Nyx: ...
He was silent for about a minute... then he angrily bursted out loud,
Nyx: SO CLOSE, SO FUCKING CLOSE! I COULD'VE KILLED HIM WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE! GOD DAMN IT FUCK! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, CHRIS! MARK MY FUCKING WORDS, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
Anger consumed Nyx as he went on a rampage, while naked. He killed every single beasts that was inside of the temple, and destroyed the temple as well. Luckily, they didn't die when Nyx destroyed everything with his scythe an hour later. The treasure was buried, and all they got was sand in their shoes.
Nyx calmed down eventually, but the rest of them just looked at him while panting.
Xiel: N-n-n-Nyx? A-are you ok now?
Nyx: Y..yeah, I'm sorry for lashing out like that. It's just..
Xiel: It's just what?
Nyx: Nevermind.
Nyx couldn't tell where he's actually from. They heard everything, but didn't get what they were talking about so they just rapidly asked Nyx.
Vor: Dude? What the hell is he talking about earlier?
Reus: Yeah, I feel like he was talking about something important, but I didn't get it..
Xiel: But to think that we have been allies with.. him.
Nyx felt anger for the first time, and it was definitely something to be angry about.
Nyx: Hey, guys..?
Xiel: Yeah?
Nyx: If you're suspicious in my eyes, I won't hesitate to stab you like him.. got it?
Reus: We have no secrets to keep anyway.
Vor: Y-yeah..
(But you're keeping me here.. come on, let's switch!)
Vor: No, I won't!
Nyx: *Sigh* He's talking to himself again..
The day ended with Nyx not getting anything, again.
Realizing that, Nyx scouted the desert for treasure and it paid off while the rest were sleeping, but because they had to put up with Nyx rampaging on the temple, he shared it with them too.
Nyx lost yet again.

I am terrible at spelling and I'm not doing this for profit but as a way to relax so no paid editors. I will warn you that if this book gets impossible for me to write I might just end it, but I will write an end even if it's ended abruptly I hope it won't get that bad though. well hopefully that won't happen, by the way, the ending will be the same it's just the difference of whether or not there are loose ends. this is mainly an adventure/fantasy, the romance will likely be cringe-worthy with just how slow it will be, either I won't know how to advance or won't want to due to the circumstances I make, on purpose or accidentally. if you have suggestions for story progression feel free to help, I will, of course, give you props if I use them.
