Chapter 1 - Great, now I have to restart.

A world consisting of two continents each directly opposite of each other. The south is called Eldora, while the north is called Ashrend. These two continents separated by sea but united by the races that come before it. Mermaids, Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Ogres, Orcs, Centaurs and Beastman. However, a great terror struck the two continents by the demon king opening his portal summoning hellish beast and demons to the world. Many speculate that the portal was an ancient world built but destroyed long ago by the demon king, but it was surrounded by mystery. 

As the kingdoms residing in the continents were on the edge of collapse, the goddess bestowed a hero. His armour coloured in gold and white, a red cape that flew easily in the air and the legendary sword, Solar Star. However, the hero's face remain hidden from everyone's eyes as well as his real name but left unquestioned in desperate needs. 

The hero gathered 4 other heroes from different backgrounds to face the treacherous journey together to vanquish the demon king once and for all. Their journey was hard as they spent 3 months walking and liberating captured lands from the monsters, then finally.. they made it.

The battle was long and hard until the demon king head came clean off by the hero. Despite this, the demon king sealed his generals away keeping them safe for further use as if he planned his impending fate but still... Finally, putting the end off destruction to the continents, they were celebrated as liberators in addition to being considered as the first adventurers. The people gave the hero the nickname... The True Paladin of The World. After, decades of the hero leaving the foundations of reconstruction and peace. Humans were the first to unite under the same banner and kingdom called Feallen Empire, in spite of that some parts became independent creating their own cultures. None the less they remained under the same banner and empire.

Until, a thousand years later. The demon king revived. Brought back by the dark mages using thousands of revival stones leading to its rarity and scarcity in the futures, his powers weakened tenfold due to the drawbacks of the revival stones but still was a threat to life itself.

Due to the demon kings powers led to the Faellan Empire collapsing, the capital destroyed in ruins. Many races worried as they cowered blaming each other causing hostility.. but the most affected was humanity. As the races still all bickered, they however produced something.. 20 individuals with their own traits and abilities to lead their armies into battle along with their fighting prowess as they dominate in battles.

Their reasons were different, unknown. Claim more land, defeat the demon king and restore order or just make themselves the supreme ruler of the two continents. None the less, they all have the same goal.. be the best leader in the entire history of the world.

SCENE SHIFT 

A battle was going on... thousands of different soldiers made up of races fighting against diverse monsters, 10 commanders and the player character rushed into the demon kings tower. While the soldiers fought along aside the remaining commanders in the brutal onslaught. The 10 commanders killed the monsters standing in their way until, after all their turmoil they reached they reached the throne room. They all looked at eachother and nodded. The demon king has efficiency in close quarter and long range attacks. His magical abilities are all dark element even so its not be reckoned with.

2 of the commanders are elementist mages. Sophia Varian and Arin Varian, Twins of the group known for their inseparable bond and mind reading like team. However, there trait is quite opposite. Sophia the reckless one and Arin the calculated one.

4 of the commanders are melee based. Alessia Reign, a great tank and the bossy one in the group. Darian Marshal, the stoic one of the group and a sword user. Qin ling, the bold one of the group and a spear user. Throgar no last name but he is an orc. Despite his size, he's the nicest one and an axe user.

3 mages. Kafka Mivhail, a lighting element user and the most educated of the group. Ignis Infernos, a fire user and the most fashionable one. Amara Altari, a light user. A compassionate lady who acts like a mother to the group.

And 1 support. Kaito Kurada, the bow user. The lookout for the group, acting as a safe barrier making sure no one is hurt under is watchful eye.

 There's 8 elements.. fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, dark, light and ice.. each of them has pros and cons, but all of them are really good. Elementist mages are able to wield multiple magic and versatile but the impute is weaker than a normal mage. 

The 10 commanders and the player character split to perform a formation. The mages at the back while the support stands in the middle and for the melee users at the front. They fought valiantly using their diverse abilities each one earned by there sheer will. However, it was inevitable. One by one the formation broke and each one fell, and soon the player on the ground beaten and hurt, layed on the floor as the demon king stood tall and imposing. 

"You don't deserve a noble death." As the demon king spoke, and then a sudden sting came from the player's chest. He looked down as blood spurted out from the wound-

*GAME OVER* 

Clicking of the mouse and pressing of the keyboard keys can be heard, then a sharp yell as the screen cuts back to the main menu with the theme playing out of the speaker.

"DAMMIT! I WAS SO CLOSE!" Kim rubbed his forehead to relieve some frustration.. as he started to click on the restart button on his screen. "Alright, chat. What character should I pick now..?"

Kim look to my left monitor watching how the chat starts to spam. "Malbin Sweep!" The most hardest run to do. Commanding skills terrible, Unique Skills, Awful! Charisma Trash! Attack skills, barely anything! Looks, even more terrible as its one of the essentials in negotiations and talks.. but I can't let my viewers be let down so I agreed. I mean I have completed every achievement on every character expect Malbin... I suppose I can just quickly, try to speedrun with him..

Kim started his first run with Malbin who died to barrage of arrows. "I suppose.. that's to be expected.. lets run it back, viewers."

After a new run, Malbin died to a calvary charge. "Alright, I hope the next run gets better." he sighed

However, As the hours pass with each Malbin death and the game over message popping back up. Kim eyes twitched in annoyance, he clenched his teeth and gripping his mouse tightly in anger. It was constant restarts and replays, as Kim learnt his mistakes and improved with each death. Surely and steadily, Kim finally his reached the final boss room. The chat was hyped, Kim took a sip of his drink and looked how the chat was spamming "Easy!" or "You can do this!" Lots of support, Kim pressed the key on his keyboard to enter the rooms. However, a window popped out of Kim's screen. instead of the usual loading screen, the screen flickered. The UI glitched. The music warped. A dialogue box popped up Kim never seen before..

** "Would You like to Enter?" **

He was taken by surprised by the change but thought it must be some sort of script of the game code and quickly chuckled at it and yawned, and said while facing the camera for my viewers

"I think its going to get difficult from here, viewers.."

Kim tried to find the character selection party, so he can create the party to defeat the demon king, but huh? 'I can only pick my character?! What is this some sort of bullshit? How could I beat the demon king with my trash character, I only used commander characters to replace Malbin.. Ah whatever, each character was very different in how to defeat the demon king so this maybe might be a negotiation type raid due to the character? Unique game I must say..' He thought as he moved his mouse and with a slick on the accept button..

"Huh?"

The Chat was messaging "Wtf is going on??" Then suddenly his monitor exploded into white light, loud static and then... silence.

When he opened his eyes, he was slumped on the dirt floor, dressed in floppy armour which is heavily damaged, he looked around himself, knights barking orders for the foot soldiers to defend the gate. Then a knight came rushing over, their armour damaged and bent, they quickly saluted and spoke in a quick and shortness of breath tone.

"M-my l-lord! Master Quietfang! T-t-the enemy approached! Your orders!?"

Kim blinked. A floating UI hovered in front of him.

**Survive the siege**

**Reward: ???**

He looked at the screen, and then looking back at the gate where there was orges hammering down the gates with there weapons, He saw the footguard scared but still rushing over to guard the gate.. the only thought to his mind was...

'You got to be kidding me...'
