1 Prolouge

In the middle of a summer night, the sounds of a baby crying could be heard throughout a small village. Women closed their window shutters while muttering prayers to their gods, some women went as far as to put earplugs in their children's ears while men took up their weapons and got seats to sit by their front doors.

If an outsider were to walk through the town on this night they would probably ask questions like

"Why are these people closing their windows on such a hot night like this"

"Why are these men acting like the village is about to be attacked"

"Why are all the streets empty? are there no taverns in this village?"

Questions like those could only be answered by those who practiced the Berserker faith (This world's Vikings/barbarians) but in truth, the answer was very simple.

Tonight was The Night Of The Demon Moon.

Every year on this day from 8 pm to 8 am the gates of Hel would open letting demons run rampant in this world. The crime rates would spike exponentially leaving those in charge of kingdoms and cities confused on why this night every year caused their biggest headache.

On this particular night in a house like all the other village houses except it was on the outskirts on the riverbed, A new father was fighting against a demon.

"Whoosh!"

the sound of an ax cutting through the air was made as a young warrior narrowly missed the demon he was fighting.

"DEMON WHY ARE YOU HERE!"

The man looking to be in his mid-twenties yelled at the demon in a voice that would make a regular man quake in his boots and pee his breeches.

"aHa ha ha ha"

the terrifying bloodred demon with long horns that reached the back of his head and snake-like eyes laughed in the face of the young man that had just dared to yell at him.

"Weak human YOU DARE YELL AT THE MIGHTY DEMON KING RUDUSS!"

"DEMON YOU WILL ANSWER ME!" the man angrily swung his double-headed ax.

Since the man had decided to attack with tremendous emotion It bolstered the strength of his swing. But for a demon like Ruduss, it was so easily read that he had decided to show his strength and toy with the man to get what he wanted. the man's weapon came down diagonally with a "WHOOSH!" but the demon was no longer there.

"SMACK!"

"BOOM!"

Ruduss had appeared seemingly out of thin air in front of the man as the ax was too heavy to lift again the man had been backhanded slapped by him.

The man who had crashed into the wall of his home struggled to stand but in the end, a coma came over him and he laid there barely breathing.

" I hate weaklings who don't obey their rightful masters," the demon Ruduss said with a look of disgust and triumph on his face.

"Time for my prize," he said licking his lips in anticipation.

The house Ruduss was in was a two-bedroom house with the main area and a kitchen. the house could also be expanded at any time thanks to the space left. Ruduss walked deeper into the house following the scent of a high potential newborn.

"Such a rare delicacy," Ruduss said. if Ruduss had known how much this "delicacy" would cost him he probably would have gone to feast somewhere else but he didn't.

As Ruduss entered the room he saw a pale weak-looking woman nursing her child in her arms next to her bed lay her shield and her sword. After he entered the woman immediately stopped nursing her baby and picked up her weapons.

Not even wasting time Ruduss swept passed the woman slapping her hard enough to make her head slam against the wall knocking her out instantly. As he walked slowly towards the baby enjoying the walk towards his reward the baby suddenly started crying.

It needed food.

The baby looked around for its mother not seeing her its eyes landed on the demon, At that moment the demon experienced fear for the first time. The demon tried to run but it was too late the baby not realizing that the being in front of it was living just saw it as energy to be absorbed.

Somehow this baby was able to sense the energy within living beings!

The baby absorbed the demon but at the same time, the power of the demon flowed into it. In an attempt for this baby's body to save itself it immediately sealed off all the demon's powers as well as capping the baby's power level until its body could handle it.

Hours later...

The woman woke up. Her name was Brea Koarson she was a legendary shieldmaiden who had just given birth to a beautiful boy named Avon. While she could barely stand she was attacked by a cruel demon. Thinking that the demon may have harmed her son she quickly got up with much effort and went to check on her baby.

she walked slowly as tears of relief fell down her face unwillingly she tried to stop them but they just wouldn't stop falling down her face. She eventually collapsed and had to crawl onto the bed, her baby was sleeping perfectly unharmed and safe doubting herself she decided to check her baby.

as she was almost done with her search she was feeling relieved again until she noticed something strange.

There was a smiling demon on his left neck.
