My name is Jean Berger.

A simple french guy of common birth, living in the USA, my only strong point was my looks.

My life was pretty simple as well, other than being pursued by girls for my looks, whom I usually pushed away, everything in my life was quite normal.

I, however, didn't think that my looks would also be the reason of my fall…

After drawing the attention of a girl who was the target of a certain very influential man's son unintentionally, I found myself in jail pretty soon with the charge of assaulting that girl, with no way out, or a chance to explain…

But within the same week I entered prison, I received a visit from an unknown guy who said he can take me out with just a few conditions…

Thinking about my mother who was all alone and heart-broken with me in jail, I accepted quite easily.

In the end, it turned out to be a game… a death game to be exact, where we had to survive to keep our deals, which meant I would be free if I survived for that year, instead of spending 5 years in prison or so I understood…

But as soon as I understood the actual time, I believed that I was quite rash to do that, after all, instead of 5 years of jail, I had to do 10 years in a death game…

Yet, I was actually pleasantly surprised!

Supposedly entering this game, I found myself in the body of a person similar to me, named Jean as well, at a place called, 'Light Association training camp'.

There were 4 other people there, we were told we had a superior affinity with the Light attribute and that we would be nurtured…

Upon touching what they called a light elemental crystal, I actually obtained an innate ability called 'Light Genius'.

That ability allowed me to learn and train the Light element to its limit, and a result I always came on top in the camp, obtaining rewards in the form of what they called Blood essence…

It turned out that it was the equivalent of experience in normal games, and as I randomly choose the first mode, I managed to obtain a great amount of levels, increasing my stats to a high point, finally becoming the top candidate of the 'Light Association'.

Entering the 'Class Trials', I managed to use my offensive, defensive, and healing ability to get an inheritance of a 'Paladin', a damage dealing tank in other games' terms.

Everything was going pretty good for me, but suddenly I was ordered to leave the Light Empire and head for the Lightning Branch for some unknown reason, it didn't seem like the best option but it wasn't like I could refuse anyway…

However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Not only was the branch head very good to me, but even the grand elder's side which seemed to be at odds with the branch head's were also pretty friendly to me, giving me a superior evolving elemental art!

Even though the one I received in the camp could be considered a top notch elemental art, but it could only be considered limited when compared to the one gifted to me by the grand elder, it seemed as if the world was still smiling at me, everything was going smoothly! Or so I thought…


Once I got pretty deep into practicing the superior elemental art, I started to experience strange moments, like temporary lapses of memory, spending more time sleeping and so on, but I just thought it was signs of exhaustion from over-training…

In the end, I could finally ascertain the fact that everything was wrong with that elemental art... but it was too late!

When I was supposedly heading for a mission to clear a 'Dark Cave', a last trial given by the association so that I would get promoted as the vice-leader of the Light Knight order…

I arrived at some sort of a test where I had to accept the light infusion of an unknown source, which I easily passed relying on 'Light Genius', I once again lost my sense of self, as I only regained it to see a…

Demon!

A literal demon with horns was staring at me with a grin on his face, his talk was all but torture to me as I lost consciousness once again…

At that moment, I realized that…

'I was tricked.'

I wasn't usually that dump, but I just wanted to believe that I was destined to have a great life in this game, but all I did was simply lie to myself…

I hope mother is at least doing alright without me being there to mess things up...

"Haaaah."

'Wait, what?'

"I'm not dead yet?!"

"Welcome back, Mister paladin."

'?!'

`~~`~~`~~`

Looking at the blonde protagonist-like guy, who finally woke up as we almost cleaned off most of the demon army, I could finally confirm that my method of cutting the link of the overseer's blood essence with his own mental energy was enough to cause his mental energy link with the paladin, also known as his 'Possession' ability to break, as I received the hovering blood EP.

Besides…

[ 'Human (other worlder) Paladin' lv.118

Race: Human (other worlder)

State: Confusion, Shock. ]

He was no longer in 'Possession' state, neither was the 'Demon Possession' skill apparent in his special skill panel…

"You seem to be in shock, I know you must be pretty confused now, but all you need to know that you are safe now, and we are in a hurry."

"Hmm?"

"We can't continue watching over you so get a hold of yourself, we will be leaving soon…"

Remembering the talk of that 'Overseer' I could easily understand that this wasn't the end of their scheme, so returning to the headquarters for more information seemed to be the best code of action at the moment.

"Hey, 'Demon Hunter', we are finally done." (Eleya)

"I understand… Are you finally fully awake?"

"I remember everything now, this isn't the end! the Lightning Capital is in danger!" (Jean)

"Oh?"

"Hey… hey… is this thing working? Zero, can you hear me? There is an emergency!"

I could suddenly hear the Head's voice coming out of my token...
