chapter 2: Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba)

"Basic functions have been explored, do you want to start the simulation?"

After Kitahara Hakushu finished reading the contents of the simulator, the system notification sounded again.

Regarding this, Kitahara Hakushu took a deep breath, and naturally had no reason to refuse, and answered without hesitation:

" Start!"

"Ding, the traversal simulation started, and the world was randomly selected..."

"Extraction complete, current world 'Demon Slayer'."

[Random initial talent...Congratulations to Host for drawing a blue talent. You were born with a good impression. Because of your outstanding appearance, you are a very attractive person, and outsiders will often have a favorable impression of you at their first impression.]

"???"

Kitahara Hakushu looked at the character on the virtual screen and felt the corners of his mouth twitch.

Demon Slayer, he certainly knew this, one of the popular anime in his previous life.

It tells the story of a boy whose family was killed by a Demon King, and his only surviving sister turned into a Demon.

In order to turn his sister back into a human and fight the Demon that killed his family, the boy starts a journey.

However, compared to the world he's been in, what makes Kitahara Hakushu complain more is the so-called initial talent.

After all, what use is this so-called Natural Favor?

This is not the world of teen romantic comedies.

Demon Slayer is a cruel world of kill and be killed, eat and be eaten.

"Besides, is this even a talent, not something I already have?"

Kitahara Hakushu looked up at the sky.

Not that he was narcissistic, but if he could be said to be outstanding in appearance, he was now.

Even though he didn't care about these things, judging from the fact that girls peeked at him from time to time and received love letters from time to time, he was rather self-conscious.

"Forget it, after all, it is a talent, and it may have unexpected functions."

"Also, blue talent is not low-key."

Kitahara Hakushu muttered to himself.

According to the system division, talents are divided into white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red. White is the lowest rank and red is the highest.

Although blue cannot be said to be very high, it is definitely not low.

Immediately, Kitahara Hakushu was not in contemplation, looked at the virtual screen in front of him, and said to himself:

"System, start time travel simulation!"

Following Kitahara Hakushu's words, the font on the virtual screen started to change.

[talent selected, simulation starts.]

[On the first day, you traveled through the forest. Just as you were curious, you saw nine Demons standing in front of you.]

[ Your whole body is stiff, and you realize that the one in the middle is actually Rui, Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Months Demon in the original work, and you realize that you have traveled to Mount Natagumo.]

[Rui is very surprised that you suddenly appeared here just like that. He subconsciously thought that it might have been arranged by Lord Muzan, but he discovered that your identity was not a Demon, but just an ordinary human, and he had doubts about that.]

[When you saw the nine Demons in front of you, your whole body trembled, your heart was frightened, and you cursed yourself for being unlucky, but you knew that you couldn't escape, and you were completely helpless in this desperate situation.]

[After confirming that you are human and just an ordinary person, Rui has lost interest in you. Just when he decided to kill you outright, for some reason, Spider Mother spoke up for you. She was very scared, but she still proposed not to kill you outright, but to turn you into a Demon.]

[Rui thought for a while, and saw an unprecedented touch in your heart, and felt that you might give him a feeling of longing for family, so he agreed to the request of the spider mother, and injected Muzan's blood into your body, you after experiencing pain, you immediately turn into Demons.]

…

"???"

When Kitahara Hakushu saw this, his whole body fell apart.

Jeez, at the start of the game, you immediately crossed Mount Natagumo and met nine Demons? What kind of hell opening is this?

Moreover, the spider mother will speak for him.

He remembered that even though the spider mother played the role of mother in the house game that Rui liked, she was just a very timid and timid little Demon woman, right? How could she speak for him?

Most importantly, Rui finally agreed.

Has the Natural Favor ability been activated?

Kitahara Hakushu thought to himself, the blue talent is not as simple as it seems, to be able to do this.

As a Demon who yearns for family ties, Rui is a special case among Demons, and this is only natural.

"I just don't know, if every time I travel through the simulation, I travel to the same place, or it's different every time."

Kitahara Hakushu was thinking.

If it's in the same place, it seems quite difficult to start with nine Demons.

Without power, the opening might basically end here.

"Forget it, we'll know about this kind of thing later, let's continue the simulation, at least it's better to become a Demon than getting a lunch box at the beginning."

Thinking about this, Kitahara Hakushu kept looking at the transparent screen in front of him.

…

[You became a Demon and lost all your memories as a human. Rui tells you that you are his family, and introduces you to your parents, older sister, younger sister and younger brother, and your identity is the elder brother of the family. Feeling lost, but all you know is that your mother and sister are beautiful.]

[Through the past few days of getting along, you finally got to know all the family members, and found that you have the ability to manipulate spider silk, which makes you feel like you found a new toy, and you are very happy about it.]

[On this day, your family brought food in front of you, and you faintly felt that something was wrong. Under your question, you are surprised to find out that the so-called food is in fact human flesh. But Rui to say that, you are a Demon, Cannibalism is a very normal thing.]

[ Obviously no memory, but you don't know why you are so resistant to human flesh, refusing to eat, Rui stared at you for a long time, didn't say anything, and left directly.]

[ A few days later, because you haven't eaten, your body starts to weaken. On this day, your mother came to you and told you that Demons must eat human flesh, otherwise they will not survive.]

[ And I said that she was like you at first, but in the end he was so hungry that she couldn't hold it down, so she accepted reality, and after she finished speaking, the spider mother left. You see, she came to coax you into a meal.]

[ Your heart was touched by mother's words, but you still didn't eat that day. ]

[ A few days later, your body is getting weaker. You are the only one who can really stand watching your family members eat without objection every day. You are very confused and feel they are normal. You think your abnormal self doesn't know the true meaning.]

[ Today, you fell asleep in a daze due to your weakness. Before going to bed, you seem to have seen your older sister coming at you with something and scolding you for being an idiot. Before you could hear clearly, you passed out.]
