The Digital World
Darkness.
That one world described the sight I saw with my own two eyes. I could feel the hand of death drag me deeper and deeper into the unending darkness and no amount of light seemed to be able to purify this creepy aura that surrounds me. It was as if I was travelling through dimensions…
Maybe I was.
I feel my senses return to me one by one, each return bringing me limitless relief.
First was Taste. I flinched at the dryness I felt in my throat and it seemed I had gone without liquid for quite some time.
Smell came a few moments later. The darkness I saw and the creepy aura I felt could be smelt and it was putrid. Just where had I ended up?
Touch allowed me to feel the area I was in. A stone hard floor lay below me and the roughness of poking rocks scratched my skin.
Hearing returned soon and I could hear a conversation taking place near where I was.
"Lucemon! I know you have plans to conquer the digital world, but must you bring a human here?" A female voice could be heard talking to this… "Lucemon".
"Patience Lilithmon. This human will bring about victory for the Seven Great Demon Lords. Those Royal Knights will be nothing to the potential this human has once he gains powerful Digimon allies."
"What if he betrays us though?" That enchanting female voice questioned.
"Then we will simply kill him"
Kill. The voice used the word so easily yet… I had a sneaking suspicion that there was a tiny bit of fear hidden deep within that word.
I had potential? Who are these Royal Knights? These thoughts and questions were flung around in my head. Several emotions battled for dominance in my soul and I could have thought of some more questions if it weren't for the fact that my sight returned.
My eyes opened to the sight of two figures standing before me.
To the right who I assumed was Lucemon, stood an adult angel who was half dressed in white and half dressed in pitch black. Several wings came from his back and his face betrayed no emotions, though I could feel a bit of passive aggression.
To the left was an enchanting figure of beauty. Devil horns were clearly seen on the top of her head and she was scantily dressed in a dress that showed her curves. Regardless, she reminded me of a succubus, beautiful creatures who played with men desires.
Before I had any more thoughts, Lucemon spoke.
"So, you have awoken human, how are you?"
"Fine." There was no hidden meaning behind the word, and it held neutrality. It seemed that this Lucemon wanted to negotiate.
I will give him the opportunity.
"You may have heard but we the Seven Great Demon Lords would require you to destroy the Royal Knights." Lilithmon spoke up.
I couldn't help but put on a confused expression as I questioned her.
"Who are these Royal Knights? Who are the Seven Great Demon Lords? And… how?" I questioned.
"It seemed that you would require bit of educating. Very well. Let me explain" Lucemon said before he started talking about the world I was in, but also about the creatures that inhabit this world.
After at least an hour of explanation, I gathered my thoughts and learned about this world and its inhabitants.
Apparently, this world was inhabited by digital creatures known as Digimon. Creatures who are made from data found in the internet and digital devices. They could evolve into a new form and there are several remarkable Digimon in this world.
The Seven Great Demon Lords were some of these remarkable Digimon that are made from completely evil data.
The Royal Knights were the Digital World's sacred guardians.
I was surprised that there was a whole new digital world hiding in the computers and devices I use every day. I thought of the offer that Lucemon was likely going to make. Help the Demon Lords and gain power and authority or betray them? Guaranteed that I will probably die if I betray them.
… Looks like my sarcastic personality was coming back.
"I'll agree to work with you. However, I have one condition"
"You fool, you should just accept like a slave!" Lilithmon shouted.
"Lilithmon, shush. What will be this condition?" Lucemon asked.
"I would not be able to destroy the Royal Knights without power. Therefore, I ask that you give me one year to gain Digimon and gain the power to destroy the Royal Knights. Will this be acceptable?"
Lucemon cracked a smile.
"Very well, I accept that condition. I would provide you with your first Digimon. I have a Tsumemon that has been recently hatched that you would likely grow into a strong Digimon."
"Thank you Lucemon. I guarantee that by the end of the year you have given me, I would have deleted at least half of the Royal Knights."
"You do know Pride is my sin, right?"
"It's not Pride if I can do it."
With that, I said farewell to Lucemon and Lilithmon.
I was given Tsumemon once I exited the castle of Pride and off we went. On an adventure to get stronger.
Please note that I don't own Digimon in any shape or form.
