Return Of The Anarchists 23 Secrets From The Pas

He felt extremely disgusted. He often questioned himself why people had to each other. He had decided as a child that he would change the twisted world for the better.

Where everyone hurt each other, he would rather burn himself than hurt someone else. He would be the bright light that would guide everyone to the right path. He would put an end to all misery in the world.

When the Anarchists had first risen, Adam had been their biggest fan. He felt that he had finally found others who thought like him. Hearing that their leader Lucas was someone his age ignited an even stronger pa.s.sion in him to burn all his potential to be the spark of change. He used to look up to them...until they decided that human lives were as cheap as the people they were trying to stop.

Adam had never felt as heartbroken as he was back then, the worst part was that deep within a voice agreed with them. It said that some things were unavoidable, and some sacrifices had to be ma

Those he believed to be his heroes turned out to be villains instead.

Heroes never came, they are within you. He didn't need someone to be his hero. He would be the hero he wanted, and the one that the world needed.

Lilith looked into the distance as she went over the events of the past few months. It all started with the disappearance of her older brother Lucifer the 5th 6 months ago, before the war even began.

He was the support and the successor of the nation, the successor of the demon lord. He was however never known for his fighting powers, he was known for his inventions and discoveries in magic technology. When he had disappeared he had been researching inter-dimensional technology and had been trying to rupture holes into s.p.a.ce-time.

What they knew was that he had either died or succeeded.

However, she knew her brother the best that idiot would never want to come back if managed to escape this world. He knew how much that doofus hated killing and war. Quite a failure of a demon. At least he never let his enemies find that part of him.

She turned around and looked at the young man in front of her.

When they had discovered another hole and fed the algorithm to look for the next demon lord, they had been hoping to find Lucifer, instead, they found this man.

Lucas Nothstein.

The man was an enigma that wore many masks, sometimes a naive child, sometimes a lunatic rebel, at times a reigning monarch of the night and at others a handsome gentleman.

What was his true self, what was his true goals, from what she did know, he could lead the demons as a capable demon lord, what she still wasn't sure was whether he was worth the risk. Whether he could be trusted to become the next demon lord without making the mistakes os his predecessors.

The man had been staring at her for a while. he decided to break the silence.

"I have decided that I would not become the next Demon Lord."

"Why?" Lilith asked back expressionlessly.

"Let me tell you a story about a little boy"

"The little boy always used to believe that heroes would come and save his world."

"He slowly lost everything important to him, but he kept on believing in them"

"However, heroes never come."

"So, he decided to be one himself. He had felt powerless so he decided to become powerful enough to control his fate."

"He hated the overwhelming power that his opponents held, he had decided that no one should hold that much power, the world would be better off in anarchy."

"However as he succeeded, he realized that he enjoyed the power he gained, the very power he didn't want anyone else to have."

"He never became the hero he set out to be. As he went up the path of power he slowly became a villain. However he was adamant that he was doing it all for anarchy."

"He ultimately spiraled into self-destruction"

"The power he had gained for his freedom, robbed him of his freedom instead. Perhaps it was too much power, perhaps too little or maybe it was just the wrong type of power. It could be that he had just used it wrong. The boy was me. Being summoned here and given a second chance at life I have been a.n.a.lyzing my past a lot."

"I have decided that as an Anarchist trying to become a king would be stupid and hypocritical, also my to beneath my ambitions."

"My quest for power was never wrong. You cannot have too much power-"

Lucas turned and smiled at Lilith. Immense confidence seemed to be oozing out of his pores. He seemed to be clear of what exactly he wanted, perhaps for the first time in his life.

"Where I went wrong was to let the power control me and take away my freedom. What I have to become is the leader of the Anarchists, an organization that unlike its name doesn't go about destroying kingdoms, but this time keep them in check and makes sure no one suffers the way I did"

Lucas paused again to once again look at Lilith in the eyes, his abyss like eyes seemed to tug at her soul.

"You should know that Lady Of Darkness, you were never interested in becoming the Demon Lord as your ambitions were much bigger"

"And what if I did?" Lilith replied by raising an eyebrow. She suddenly felt a bit apprehensive or even scared of what Lucas might say next.

"So, you see you can either be a great ally or a deadly enemy."

There it was. A sinking feeling slowly started to develop in her stomach.

"Due to the sincerity that your old man has shown me, I will complete his goal of ensuring the security of the demon race and help in the smooth merger. I can even make sure that in the new nation demons will have a lot of prosperity and the war will and smoothly.- Unfortunately, we don't have enough time."

"Time for what?"

"I am not the only one summoned here, and my intuitions are indicating that a much bigger war is coming. I am sure you are aware of that. It's just that your plan isn't fast enough."

"I Lucas- The Prince of Shadows always win my wars before they begin. As this war is my own, I will have to end it before it even begins."

"What do you plan to do?"

"It's quite simple actually- Its time for the..."

Lucas continued while raising his hands and looking up towards the sky

"..Return of the Anarchists"

"The question here is whether you would be on our side or against us...."

"Lilith, lady of darkness- Will you join the Anarchists?
