Chapter 1 - An S-Ranker's Death

I live in the country called Sleniv.

In this country, there is the law of the strongest, and of course in this world, there is the employment of adventurer, one of the most valued jobs.

Usually, only the strongest adventurers who train since childhood can succeed in this profession.

Me, Yamada Suijiro I'm one of these adventurers.

I am an adventurer S-RANK, the highest rank among all adventurers.

In this world, there is the rank from F to S.

I am part of a group of very powerful adventurers. There are 3 A-RANKS in my group and there is also an S-RANK who trained with me since I was a child.

I am also the leader of this group.

I don't care much about being the leader, because I was always the leader of all the groups I attended, because I was so powerful.

#######

One day I was with my group on a mission in the demonic kingdom.

In this world, there are 5 types of races.

Humans, Elves, Beastmen, Dwarves, and Demons.

My group was currently south of the demonic kingdom in the city of Trinity.

At one point in the mission, my party was attacked by a group of very strong demons, apparently, a group of demon king generals, for they were so strong that they had the strength of an S-RANK.

But I felt something strange.

My friends who was supposed to be helping me started helping the demons, I was confused for a moment because I didn't know why they were doing this.

'Are they being blackmailed?' That was the only thing I could think of at the moment.

My friends and the demons kept attacking me over and over.

I fought hard against all attacks, but I got to attack from all sides, I couldn't dodge all attacks.

The battle was entirely one-sided for the traitors and demons.

Things got worse when my friend S-RANK and the demons used very powerful attacks.

The attacks were so powerful that even my other teammates were hit.

I managed to escape the attacks, but my groupmates died instantly.

Only my friend S-RANK and I were still alive, but they hadn't given up.

My friend kept attacking me continuously, and the demons also helped him with all the attacks, so I started to suffer a lot of damage.

'Damn, am I going to die here?'

I tried to hit the demons with a sword attack, but whenever I tried to hit them my friend stopped me.

So my friend cheated on me at this level. But I didn't know why.

The demons started to get angrier then started to play more powerful attacks than before.

'It's the end'

After receiving so many attacks, I felt my conscience weaken. I never thought I'd die this way. but I think the time has come.

- Hmmm

"Where am I?" I rubbed my eyes while my mind was a little confused.

When I regained my senses I looked around and saw ... Nothing.

It was a blank space, it had nothing.

"Hello ?? Is anyone here?" I shouted thinking that someone would show up but to no avail.

I was surprised by this situation as I'm sure I died and couldn't see anyone in this blank space.
