Demon Lord's Reincarnation

It took Ren and his army a year and a half to take over almost half of the continent. The speed at which he was conquering the continent was ten times faster than when he was Demon Lord Kretos. Still, Ren felt a bit disappointed at this outcome and sighed.

'Well, in this era the various races have become much, much weaker than before which has been an utter disappointment. Also for some reason, the most powerful hero type hasn't shown themselves yet... Thought that in itself is rather weird... I already cause so many problems and the other side obviously knows they're no match for me and my army, then why haven't they used their greatest trump cards the heroes? Hmmm, maybe they already sent them and they weren't even worth mentioning, or because this time around I'm human making them feel like I'm less of a threat than when I was a demon lord.'

Ren was thinking such random thoughts as he was concentrating on stabilizing his growing mana supply. During these two years, he had not gone out and left the conquering to his subordinates. While inside he retrained every one of his direct subordinates and also his younger brother who had shown great promise. He even taught the new Shadow Clan the true ways of the old Clan.

He was already getting bored of training the others and stabilizing his mana, but he could not leave yet, as Valdel still hasn't reached the level needed to ascend. Still, based on Valdel's talent and luck it would probably take about a few more years before he could ascend.

While Ren was trying to figure out what to do to make things more exciting he suddenly felt the mana of the world gathering to the South. It was a large amount of mana that even from afar people could feel its touch.

Ren who after a year and half of locking himself up within the confines of the castle of New Grenton finally left and flew above the clouds. He looked at the distance and saw a shining rainbow of light fall from the heavens. This was a gathering of the world's mana, seeing this scene made Ren's lips curve upward into a vicious smile.

It has been a few millennia since he last saw it, but he would never forget what that rainbow of light represents. He was just thinking about it a while ago and now they have actually gone and did it.

The gathering of the world's mana that consists of all the elements to summon a rainbow bridge that connects to other worlds. This was the strongest spell the humans of this world could use, the hero summoning spell.

Back in the Allied Kingdoms' base of operations, Seven individuals stood before the various rulers. From the left stood a man of towering size, he was like a small giant. He was wearing leather armor and held a halberd as gigantic as he was. He looked at the rulers and knights that stood before him with bloodlust oozing from his body.

The one who stood beside the giant of a man was a young man wearing pajamas sleeping on a bed. He stood up still feeling sleepy and rubbed his eyes while looking around after yawning a bit he went back to sleep.

The next one was a stunning woman wearing a beautiful dress adorned with gems, sitting on a throne of pure gold. She was wearing an insane amount of jewelry all over her body. The aura she was releasing was shining golden, she looked at the surrounding people with contempt in her eyes.

The next one was a middle-aged man sitting on a white chair drinking tea while reading a book. He did not even acknowledge his surroundings as he continued to drink his tea and read his book.

The next one was a child a little girl or someone that looked like one. On her back were translucent wings, currently, the girl was in a lotus position meditating. She then opened her eyes for a second, and at that moment the people who saw her deep dark eyes saw the wisdom of an ancient. The girl then closed her eyes again and went back to meditating.

The next person was wearing a dark cloak that hid his/her body and a mask that hid his/her face. No one could tell what gender the person was, no one was even sure if there was a person standing there in that position. It was as if they were looking at a ghost as the person's presence was nearly non-existent.

The next one was a half-naked man who was on the floor doing a few push-ups. Unlike the giant who was also muscular, this man's muscles were smaller but more defined. When the man noticed he was transported into a different place being surrounded by other people, he suddenly changed his two-handed push-ups into one-finger push-ups and he smiled at the people watching him.

The final person among the seven was a young man who looked to be the weakest one among those that were summoned. He was wearing a VR headset that was plugged into his nervous system. The young man started shouting and was flailing about angrily.

"What the f*ck happened?! Why did the game shut down, we were just about to defeat the f*cking raid boss! Hey guys can you hear me? Were you guys also kicked out of the game or was it just me? John?.... Andrew?... Nina?... Why aren't any of you responding, was my connection lost? That can't be it, it says here I'm still connected to the internet."

The surrounding people even some of those that were summoned stared at the weird-looking young man who was talking to thin air.

The young man then removed his VR headset and to his surprise, he was no longer in his room. He looked a bit confused as he started talking again.

"What the h*ll was I transported into a different zone? Wait a minute didn't I already remove my VR headset?"
