January 29th, Sun City International Highschool
The following is a special story never before told...It happened the day the HISTO.RE.A. club was founded...the story of how the Last Shaman of the Ysleta and the infamous Charro Negro met…
It’s early in the morning, the day is very cold because it is still winter. Walking down an empty street, Uriel heads to school. He suddenly stops and says:
“So, how long will you keep following me?” Uriel turns around and looks at the corner of the street. The one who was following him slowly walks to the street revealing her identity. A girl with blonde hair, tan skin and has native american features on her uniform.
“Hehe...so you noticed me...since when?”
“Since yesterday, that serpent familiar next to you is very cautious, anyone would have difficulties to detect it but it was very simple for me.” Uriel replies as he looks at the wall next to him. Immediately, the wall begins to move, revealing a serpent that was camouflage.
“Impressive...not bad for a demon…” Tiwa begins to release mana as she looks at Uriel furious. Uriel, who is confused, asks:
“May I help you with something, you seem to be angry at me for some reason, aren’t you Emma Smith?”
“No...my name is Tiwa…”
“I see…”
“Of course I am angry...Charro Negro...I will kill you right here and now and avenge my tribe…”
“Your tribe?”
“That’s right...I, Tiwa de Ysleta...the last member of the proud Ysleta tribe...will take my revenge now!”
(BBOOOMMM)
Tiwa releases a pillar of mana. "Zuni, Jana, Suma" Tiwa summons all of her spirits. A pillar of yellow manna shines as Tiwa prepares to fight seriously.
“Zuni, Suma, Jana...Fusion; 100%”
“Right…” The three spirits turn into manna and begin to fuse with Tiwa. Tiwa’s outfit transforms.
She now has a black Native Americans style dress with frills at the bottom. White boots, white wrist warmers that all fringes in the bottom, and a red bandana with Native American patterns around her head. She has Coyote ears, coyote tail, wings from her back and a serpent style lasso surrounding her waist.

Uriel doesn’t show any emotion; “Impressive, I take it that you are shaman?”
“That’s right, I was taught the art of shaman by the priests of my tribe...now then, prepare to die…” Tiwa charges straight at Uriel.
(BBBOOOOMMM)
An explosion releases a smoke screen, Uriel comes out of the smoke screen, he looks at his uniform thinking; “Damn it, I don’t want it to get dirty…” Uriel looks at Tiwa and asks:
“Hey, can we do this another time...I want to make it in time for school…”
“SHUT UP...I’M BEING SERIOUS HERE!”
Tiwa charges once again, she tries to hit Uriel, Uriel dodges every attack. “Why can’t I hit you?”
“It’s because you’re attacking with anger...you will never touch me…” Uriel explains to Tiwa, Tiwa gets angrier and continues to attack him.
(PUM PUM PUM)
The multiple attacks form several craters. Tiwa breathes heavily, Uriel hasn’t shed a sweat. Tiwa looks at him furious:
“YOU BASTARD! YOU’RE JUST TOYING WITH ME AREN’T YOU! HAVE YOU NO SHAME!”
“Listen...I don’t plan on fighting with you...I have nothing against you...the reason you’re attacking me is dumb…”
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! YOU DON’T KNOW A THING!”
Tiwa says as tears come out of her eyes, Uriel notices that and asks; “You say that you are the last survivor of the Ysleta tribe. The Ysleta tribe disappeared almost one hundred years ago..” Tiwa doesn’t reply. Uriel sighs as he thinks; “I must be serious or else, I will damage her pride…”
Uriel then lifts his right arm and begin to chant:
“Yo soy el Jinete, Yo soy el inicio, Yo soy el final, Yo soy El Charro Negro.”
Flames come out of Uriel’s ring involving him around in a smaller dome then before changing him into his “Charro” form.
“So, you are finally getting serious huh…”
“Tiwa de Ysleta, you’re strong, but you have been blinded by the sense of vengeance...and that…”
Uriel disappears from her sight, he appears in front of her. Tiwa's surprise flies back, she tries to attack him using her serpent rope but Uriel dodges it. He jumps above Tiwa and, like a sumo slap, forces her into the ground.

Before Tiwa could get up, Uriel pointed at her with his sword; “It’s over…”
Tiwa begins to cry feeling weak; “Why...I was reborn in this body so I could finally have my revenge against you and that Bounty Hunter and yet, I am so weak…”
“I already told you, you are not weak...you are just blinded...you’re strong...strong enough to make me go into my Charro Form…” Uriel puts away his sword, and continues to speak; “By the way...I wasn’t the one who attacked your tribe…”
“WHAT REALLY?” Tiwa gets surprised. Uriel continues to explain; “You’re saying that your tribe was attacked 100 years ago...I’m only 16 years old, so it wasn’t me…”
“Wait, wait...but I know I saw El Charro Negro that night...and you are El Charro Negro…”
“Well, I am...but you are probably referring to one of my predecessors…”
“No way…You mean I have been attacking the wrong one?”
“I’m afraid so…” Uriel replies, Tiwa feels as if a giant rock falls into her head that says; “IDIOT” Tiwa sighs; “Aww...you know how long I have waited for this...I even trained to get my vengeance...and now it appears that you weren’t the one...but wait…”
Tiwa gets closer to Uriel; “You are El Charro Negro, which means that you are my enemy as well…”
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed, he turns back into his uniform and grabs his backpack. Tiwa also returns to normal. Uriel begins to walk, Tiwa goes after him; “Hey wait...we are not done here…”
“You are not, but I am...besides, I don’t have any business with you…”
“Oh yeah, well, you are after the Golden Key right?” Tiwa asks Uriel, putting on a teasing face, Uriel stops walking and turns around; “So you know about that?”
“Of course, I am also searching for it, and I know that Alejandro Sanchez has one in his left hand…”
“I see…” Uriel turns around completely; “So...what do you want from me?”
“I know you are my enemy, but right now…” Tiwa looks down, her face red and asks; “Could you...and Alejandro...form a club with me?”
“A club?”
“Yeah...you see, I need to keep a watch over you plus I was rejected by the others and I need one just like you and Alejandro, otherwise, I will be expelled…”
“You don’t have any friends don’t you…”
“SHUT UP! SO, ARE YOU IN OR OUT?” Uriel scratches his head; “This girl is a pain…”
“Very well...we’ll form a club just because I need one...okay…”
“Really? That 's great…” Tiwa jumps out of joy. Uriel sees that and thinks; “She’s an airhead...but she is strong...especially because she managed to hurt my right hand…” Tiwa quickly grabs her backpack and runs to Uriel’s side:
“So, how are we going to name our club? I have already cleaned up the messy room that kid Alejandro had…”
“Oh really...well, since we are searching for historical artifacts, we will name it the HISTORY CLUB…”
“So lame…”
“Well, you came up with one then?”
“Mmmm...how about the HISTORICAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION…”
“And you called mine lame?”
“SHUT UP, THAT’S THE NAME WE ARE USING AND IT’S FINAL!”
“Okay, okay...fine, have it your way...Emma Smith…”
“Shut up, I am Tiwa de Ysleta, remember that…” Tiwa smiles and continues walking forward thinking; “I found my new club...yay…”
And that’s how Uriel and Tiwa met...and the formation of the HISTOREA club...A club that will change the world…
THE END...

A Demon Lord's Reincarnation
Selina’s got a pretty active imagination. When doing math, she pretends that she is a great detective solving a heinous crime! Ordinary tasks, like a trip upstairs, turn into a perilous adventure to raid a dragon’s cave! She believes that life should be full of wonder and magic, and tries to force the world to cope with her conviction! But when Selina wakes up to remember her past life as the Demon Lord, she has to face the fact that real life is messy, and not anything like what she imagined. With ancient powers stirring, family problems, and the hectic life of a teenager, Selina will have to discover more about herself if she is going to survive the trials ahead. With the help of her best friend and a fair share of luck, she might just get through this alive. Maybe. (Updates (hopefully) on Sundays) This story started out as a flipped isekai. Instead of a hero being pulled into a medieval world, a Demon Lord is pulled into the modern world. It has since moved a bit beyond that initial premise but it is the foundation of the work. Along the way, I threw in dragons, elves, dwarves, and some vampires (but no werewolves, gotta nip that in the bud) all wrapped up in the political drama of a modern world. The story, however, will mainly focus on the characters and their development and as such, is a bit of a slow burn. It may take a couple of chapters to get into. You have been warned! (PS, please show patience for the author's notes. They're a bit crazy and don't always make the most sense. The author's a bit of a ditz. Please ignore him.)
