Man, games don't make sense at all. There could be a dragon terrorizing the entire world or a demon king ruling an army to destroy a kingdom. Even though they are extremely feared, there will be a single side boss in a random cave with 20+ levels higher than them.
Sk***m has a frost giant that is level 90, making everything else in the game look like child's play. Don't even get me started on world bosses considering that they take an entire server of players to take it out even though the big bad 'demon king' is 100x weaker.
I've been reminded of that today as I am a 12-year-old half-demon with power that could rival some of the most powerful people in the world. I'm Ogaxoth, by the way. I know it's a weird-ass name, but demons have a different naming sense.
Obviously, a 12-year-old kid shouldn't know all of these things as I used to be human. It was strange considering that my entire mentality changed when I became this....thing that I am today. I look fairly human if you didn't look at the horns protruding out of my head, the red slitted eyes, the razor-sharp teeth, and the tail that hangs behind me.
I really wished I had some wings to fly. I already know how to fly with magic, but having wings would be so much cooler. Speaking of magic, demon magic mostly consists of fire, fire, and more fire. Black flames, breathing fire, fire cloaks, etc. I was really looking forward to learning different types of magic so that life becomes a little easier.
Magic in this world goes by rank. With every rank comes an exponential increase in power. I can use up to rank 8 magic, which is fairly strong by this world's standards if I do say so myself.
Rank 1 magic is your basic everyday water bullet or mini fireball. Rank 2 is a lot stronger than rank 1 as this is when you get into large fireballs and AOE spells. Rank 3 is usually the highest level most beings can achieve. Humans at this level are considered experts. Rank 4 and above are considered hero class as it is almost impossible to go from 3 to 4 without having the blood of heroes or demon kings.
The highest recorded rank used was 7 when it was used to defeat the first demon king. The spell annihilated the entire middle region, so nobody lives there anymore as the first war scars it.
I have a couple of 'problems' though, I'm not very outgoing, and I don't like being the center of attention. Even though I could probably defeat the current demon king, ruling an entire kingdom would be so tiring. The stress that probably comes along with it is something that I don't want to experience either.
I try to stay 'in the shadows,' as one might say because it would suck if I had to beat down the heroes that keep challenging our king constantly. I don't look like the type that would be stronger than everyone. All four of the demon generals are jacked beyond belief. I think one of them has muscles on their muscles.
Even if I used to be human, the heroes are annoying as shit. I thought that if they were killed, they wouldn't come back as they were dead, but nooo. They just get resurrected with a fee by the church every year. Humans in this world are piles of shit. They discriminate against everyone that isn't human. They'll even kill half-humans if given the chance as it is seen as 'impure' or some shit.
I don't remember anything about who I was as a person or my old name. I probably died with the cliche, truck death, but I don't know. The only things I remember are bits and pieces about the world I used to live in and that I became a monster.
The world is divided into three groups—the demi-humans, which are elves, beast-men, dwarves, angels, etc. There are the humans who are...humans. Then there are the 'monster' races, which are demons, undead, vampires, ghouls, trolls, etc., that are all considered evil by this world. The monsters live in the south region, the humans in the north, the beast-men on the left, and the other demi-humans on the right.
Currently, I live on the outskirts of the southern region in a small house with my grandfather. I don't get how he sees since he's got that typical face where characters always have their eyes closed until something serious happens. He, like me, is just a perfectly normal demon. We do farm work for the monsters, which is pretty lame, but I'd rather not be forced to be a general.
My thoughts get cut off when I get smacked in the head by my grandfather. How can he, of all people, hurt me, but I can tank blows from rank 6 magic with nothing but a scratch?
"Stop looking at the wall and get back to work, brat!" Why is he so loud?
Even if he is hard on me, he is a massive tsundere.
*Flashback 7 years ago*
"Okay, brat, I need help, and you seem to be old enough to work the fields."
He picks me up by the shirt and carries me outside, to which he throws me out of the house. When I open my eyes, I see a tool right above me that ends up hitting my face.
After showing me what I was supposed to do, he told me.
"Good luck!" The door slams shut.
I groan in annoyance. Turning around, I see the massive field. Looking down at the tool, I ask myself.
How the hell am I going to do this? I have no experience whatsoever other than watching some TV shows and basic knowledge.
Taking the time to figure it out, I eventually get the hang of it, to which I decide to abuse my powers. Even at 5 years old, I can already break the sound barrier, and I can keep up with my speed. Everything seems to move in slow motion.
Damn old man.
On the inside of the house, an entirely different scenario is playing out.
"Oh my Satan, he is growing up so fast." He wipes a tear from his eye.
*Flashback End*
My grandfather really isn't my grandfather. His name is Daggaz, and he used to be one of the demon king's generals before he was defeated and lost his position. He doesn't hold it against him because he always told me that he purposefully lost because he was bored out of his mind. I don't know who my parents are because, according to him, I just came out of the sky and smashed through his house.
As I start to tend to the fields, I hear a group talking around 500 meters away in the forest next to our house. I close my eyes.
"[Detect Life]"
I see a group of 6 humans with armor and weapons. By their appearance, they seem to be adventurers—one priest, one mage, two rangers, one tank, and one warrior. A party like this isn't meant for a simple job.
Opening my eyes, I dash towards the forest hopping from tree to tree faster than the eye can see, and end up where the adventurers are. Hiding in one of the trees, I decide if I should take them out or not. I have a stealth skill, so I don't think that they will find me.
"[All Seeing Eye]"
My eyes shine red as I use a skill to read their strength and mindset.

I expected all of them to be hostile against monsters, but I didn't understand why the priest girl is neutral, and the warrior is dangerous to humans.
Compared to me, they are extremely weak, but I am worried about my house considering that they are headed right for it. If they ran into the old man, he might have trouble on his hands dealing with a full party of adventurers.
*Sigh* It looks like I have to get involved.
Jumping out of the tree that I'm in, I land right in front of them, to which they jump in surprise.
"Hey uh, can you guys please leave? I'd rather not fight you guys." Hopefully, they leave so I can go back home and finish my work, but I doubt it.
"Oh, it's just a demon child, nothing to get worked up over. For a second, I thought we were in trouble there. Hahaha." The tank guy laughs it off to which a tick mark appears on my head.
The adventurers feel a cold sweat on their backs when they all look at the child who now has a look of annoyance.
"Oh, haha, don't worry, I'll take care of it. It's not your lucky day little guy." The tank walks over to me before trying to intimidate me with a sadistic smile. Currently, at 12, I am about 5'8 and this dude is easily 7 feet tall.
He raises his hammer high into the air and I mumble a few words.
"I warned you."
