I noticed something wrong with one of his abilities, well not really wrong just forgot to fix it. Perfect Touch is set up in a way that can cause some really awkward moments with his family members so I changed it from a passive ability to a active ability. It will consume M.P(Magic Points), just wanted to let you know that. Thanks for reading and hope you like it.

A young man about 15 years old, gentle looks black hair and purple hued skin with two 8 inch horns on his head was on his knees. His normally beautiful looks were gone. He had blood all over his chest and arms. As he coughed and more blood came out of his mouth splattering on the floor. He looked beat-up and had cuts all over his body, some of them healing fast and other taking longer, do to how deep they where.
That young man was me.
Now don't get me wrong it is not that I don't know how to fight but I was been restricted to [Light Magic] spells only.
I had taken lessons for when I played VR-RPG's(A.N 1) and I have been training quite hard the last few years, I was Master for most magic schools and Grand Master for [Dark Magic]. Not to mention I was Master in sword combat and Grand Master in Dagger and Marksman combat.
The ranks whether your a Warrior or a Mage are the same except for the last one. They go like this, Rookie-> Novice-> Apprentice-> Practitioner-> Master-> Grand Master. For the last ranks the Warriors is [Warlord] and for the Mages is [Arc-Mage].
"Your too slow, how can you be so good with Dark and Elemental Magic's but fail to use Light." >
'Easy for you to say, you've done this your whole life.'> (A.N - I'll use this abbreviation of the M.C's name)
I stood up on shaky legs. It hurt to move, my natural healing couldn't keep up with the beating my Grandmother was dishing me. For some reason Light Magic was really hard for me to work with. That meant that I could not successfully cast [Healing], [Wards[, [Buffs], [anti-curse] or [Detox] spells.

It had been a few years since my grandmother and father started to training me. I had progressed with my father quite far really, but my grandmother seem hell bend to make me a Master in Light Magic or kill me.
I looked up and time suddenly stopped. I looked around, nothing was moving nothing at all.
"I see my magic is difficult for you to use." >
I looked towards the place the voice came from. It was a gentle voice, feminine and quite frankly calm me down. Which only made me freak out more. A girl about 5 feet tall floated a few inches of the ground. Her golden hair reached her knees and her Crystalline blue eyes seem to reflect the sea it self. Her features were childish but her eyes were the same as the ones some crazy as god had, they seem to be old.
Her presence also felt familiar.
'Damn another god, or goddess to be precise.'
I stood up, "Hi, I dont mean to be rude but who are you?" >
"Me," the girl pointed at her self and smiled, "I'm Liam the goddess of this world. I'm also the one who allowed you to enter here. With a condition of course, which is why you bear the mark of the Overlord." >
*Sigh* I had a feeling this wasn't just a coincidence.
"I see, O.K I have sort of an idea of what you want me to do but I'm still not sure." >
I knew she wanted me to lead the Demons and the Dark Elves but for what?
Her face suddenly turned angry which was kind of cute, kind of.
"The humans have grown arrogant, they let go of balance and have embraced only darkness. They destroyed my temples and have gone against my laws. I allow some evils because there has to be a balance between good and evil but they disregard my rules for them and do as they please. I will not allow it, they defy me so I will bring death and destruction to their kind and you will help me." >

Her eyes were ablaze with fire and she had grown two little horns.
"I will help you?">
"Yes, that's why I brought you here. Do not worry as my chosen I'll will do my best to help you. They wont even stand a chance, the only reason why I don't personally kill them is because I'm forbidden to do so, but it doesn't mean I can't give my chosen a helping hand.">
She had a sadistic smile on her face, that fact that she looked like a kid just made is more creepy.
"Ha, I see, intresting and I'm guessing I have no choice?">
"Correct either you do it and I treat you well or you don't and I kill you.">
I sighed heavily, 'Why is there always a catch to everything?'
"Fine, fine. So, you should up just to tell me this?" >
"Of course not, your 16th year approaches, the Demon clan has a ritual, a child at the age of 16 sets out to adventure until he or she is 20, with a set of requirements to fulfill. If he or she comes back with the requirements fulfilled he will be given the position of head of their family. You been the future Overlord, will be task with some pretty ludicrous things. Do not fail them. That's all, until we meet again." >
"When did you stand up?" >
My grandmother looked surpised.
"I've been getting faster, impressive, no?" >
She raised an eyebrow and shot at me with a bolt of lightning.
"All the fu-really hurt!" >
"This is enough for today, go rest. This will be your last week here, soon you'll head out and wont be able to come back in a long time." >
My grandmother approached me. She put her hand on my forehead and healed my wounds then she hugged me and kissed where her hand was before.
"I'm really going to miss you." >
I had grown quite a bit I was now about 5 feet 11 inches, my grandmothers head reached my chin.
"I'm going miss you to grand mother. Despite your daily beatings" >
She let me go and turned me around. " Now go to your room, you have things to do, preapre and rest." >
She gave me a gentle push to dismiss me.

A few hours later I sat on my bed looking out the window. I was bout to leave home, I was both excited and sad to go. I had grown quite attached to my new family so much as to think of them as my real ones instead of the ones back on Earth.
My satchel and bag were packed. Not to mention I had stored things in my Soul Realm. No one knows about it and it didn't come up in my status plate for some reason along with my Soul-Bind. My family had never heard of and Incubus but they had heard about Succubus, my great-great-grandmother is one,and I do mean is. Most race's are long live except for the humans that is.
A week past by fast I said my good byes and set out to my adventure, I was going North to the Demon Continent. My family had moved out of it when I was 5 to prevent people from seen me and protecting me until I was strong enough to do so my self.
My requirements were these.
1. Start my own Kingdom.
2. Kill a Great Dragon
3. Get at least 5 wives.
My father thought it was funny to give me this requirement. My mom beat the hell out of him since they couldn't be changed.
It was going to be hard but I had no choice.
Damn gods.

I know it was a little fast there but like I said I wanted to get over this childhood thing quickly. Frankly I find it boring. Sorry if you actually like this part but yeah, I don't feel like writing it. L.O.L

Wish upon the Stars
Heroes, Villains and those in between constantly struggle in a world where the race to the top of the food chain can be brutal and unforgiving. For people like Shane, though, sometimes you get a leg up on the competition. Maybe he can be one of the few that can actually make it to the top. Or maybe that's just Wishful thinking.
