《I Will Slay Everything》Chapter 7
Advertisement
"But for what reason did you saved a measly lifeform like me in that kind of situation? You got no reason to save me, aren't I wrong? After all, we don't even know each other. Means we're no different from a complete stranger. So what reason did you saved my life back then?"
Of course, there's no way Wei Xiaodan could easily trust a somewhat looking demon just because it saved his life.
The devil seemed to be amused by Wei Xiaodan's reaction, as he chuckled in an evil way.
"No need to be so alarmed. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have saved you even if you died way back there. I mean, I can even tear you to pieces right now if I wanted to so stop sweating over useless stuff."
Ugghh… He was kinda right about that. Wei Xiaodan couldn't retort to the devil since he seemed powerful enough to be able to kill him without even a minute.
"May I ask where am I right now?" Wei Xiaodan didn't wasted any more time and went around to beat the bush immediately.
The devil summoned a cup in his hand with a coffee in it and then proceed to even summon a table with two seats at the opposite seat, before leaving a coffee in the empty seat afterwards gestured to Wei Xiaodan to sit down first.
Wei Xiaodan didn't stand on ceremony and carefully rested his buttocks upon the soft cushion under the seat.
The devil sat on the opposite side before summoning an another cup of coffee and shoving it into his mouth. He then proceed to put down the empty cup, and gazed at Wei Xiaodan with an eyes of a wild beast.
"Currently, we're in the deepest part of the underworld renowned around the hell, called Mitovas. And this is my house, I built this on my own by the way," The devil paused before continuing with an introduction, "My name is Mevis, one of the seven kings of hells. And currently, I'm in need of a disciple. But no matter what I do, I just couldn't take to liking demonic ones as a disciple so I started searching for one in the other planets. That's when I found yours. And out of the millions I've watched over, you"re the one I've taken to liking the most. That's why I decided to save your life back there."

Wei Xiaodan showed a confused expression next. And just to excite him even more, the devil added, "Moreover, you desire to get revenge on those gods who've taken over your planet, right? I can give you strength to defy them and even overpower them if you join me to become my disciple."
Wei Xiaodan was almost tempted, but he still rejected the devil's offer. After all, he's not that insane enough to accept an offer from a devil. Furthermore, he wants to get his revenge by himself, not by the hands of others.
"Quite a shame to tell you this, but I want to defy those gods by my own strength. And also, I want to slay them with my own hands. Not with the hands of others."
The devil had already predicted that he would say that, as he became even more delighted now. He wanted to make Wei Xiaodan his disciple even more by now.
"Just as I expected from the disciple I've picked out. You sure did refused my offer. Actually, I would have murdered you right here if you accepted it since I don't like to have a disciple who relies on others too much. But since you were just what I expected, I'm eager to make you my disciple even more than before."
Wei Xiaodan shuddered for a moment there. What could have happened if he accepted his offer. Surely, he would be blood and flesh by now.
Wei Xiaodao inwardly praised his stubbornness and pride that won't let others taint it.
But still, he had to refuse this offer since he still couldn't trust this devil in front of him.
Who knows, the devil might be even scheming something and betray him at the end of the day. So no way in hell he would agree.

"I appreciate your offer but I really had to decline your offer. My uncle's probably worried about me right about now so I have to get my way back now. Also, I still got work to do tomorrow so pardon me for leaving without accompanying my saviour for an extended time." Wei Xiaodan got up from his seat, and prepared to leave.
He searched around the room, and when he found the doorway. He walked over there with cold sweats gathering on top of his forehead.
When he was about to open the door, Mevis revealed a grimace as he cackled like a devil. Oh, wait. Ain't he really a genuine devil isn't he? So calling him a devil was a bit…
"You're free to leave whenever you want to. But remember my words, I'll never lend you a hand until you accept my offer on becoming my disciple and learn some things from me. Heck, guiding you to the exit won't also be my responsibility so don't expect anything from me." Mevis said, his grimace growing even larger.
Wei Xiaodan didn't dare retort to his words and sweep his palm until it's touching the doorknob.
Wei Xiaodan spinned the doorknob and opened the door. And when he pushed it open, his eyes watched hell unfold before his very eyes.
The sky which usually seen dyed blue was cloaked into an entirely crimson blood. He could vividly feel his skin churned like a coal, as intense heat started rampaging under his skin.
"Urgh…." Wei Xiaodan groaned in pain and hurried closed the door.
When he realized that the pain immediately vanished as if it never made its appearance when he closed the door, Wei Xiaodan hurried shifted his gaze back to Mevis and asked nervously, "W-why the outside was like that…?"

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
