His name was Felix. He was 19 years old and living by himself. His parents had abandoned him at a young age and he had to grow up in an orphanage. Felix had brown hair and beaming sparkly blue eyes. He dropped out of school to persue his dream of becoming a pop singer. Unfortunately for him, his dream was not working.
In his spare time he loved to watch and read Demon Slayer. It's the only story that he felt he really connected with. This made him pretty knowledgeable when it came to Demon Slayer. His favourite character was Tengen Uzui, the sound hashira, since he was interested in making music. He had a poster of Tengen up on the wall of his tiny room.
Felix's house was very small. He lived in an apartment crammed in the busy city. The building's infrastructure hadn't been touched in ages and could collapse at any moment. This didn't bother Felix though as it was all he could afford.
He was sat at his desk trying to write new lyrics for a song he was working on. He didn't know why he kept on writing songs when he knew that the career he chose was not the right idea.
"Damn, this music thing really is not gonna work out" he said to himself as he laid down on his bed contemplating to himself. A wave of tiredness then suddenly hit his body. "I should get some sleep" he thought to himself as his eyes slowly started to close.
Just before his eyes shut, he noticed something. His whole body started to feel cold as a shiver ran down him. He noticed a brightness coming out of his window. He went to look and he saw a meteor shower outside.
"Oh yeah, the meteor shower I saw on the news is today" he thought to himself "Should I make a wish? May as well. I wish my life had a purpose, and I didn't have to live in this terrible lifestyle".
Felix then went back to bed and shut his eyes again. Once asleep he had a dream. However, this dream felt a bit too real to be just a dream.
Felix had gained consciousness and was floating around in a black void. Suddenly, a massive galactic being came out of nowhere and stood before him.
He realised that the galactic being looked like someone he had seen before. The being had long hair tied up and pink red eyes.
"Human, you have been chosen to help me succeed in my dream" the galactic being said.
"What? Where am I, who are you?" Felix asked in confusion.
"Believe it or not but you are not dreaming, I am about to change your life for the better. I saw that you are a fan of the story Demon Slayer. My name is Yoriichi Tsugikuni, do you recognize that name?" Yoriichi replied.
"Oh wow yes of course I know you. Yoriichi was the most powerful demon slayer of all time. Wait, is Demon Slayer real?" Felix asked now even more confused.
"Yes it's real, after I died hundreds of years ago I got reincarnated as a spiritual being able to transfer between worlds, with one of those worlds being yours. Anyway, I need your help" said Yoriichi.
"How can I help? I'm very untalented" Felix asked.
"You may be talentless, but your knowledge on Demon Slayer is otherworldly. I need you to complete what I couldn't, kill Muzan Kibutsuji without the sun" Yoriichi added.
"What?! Kill Muzan?! There's no way I would be able to do that" Felix said in panic "What if I don't kill him or he dies to the sun?"
"Then unfortunately you will die. You see I put a vow on you so that if you fail then you will be killed, and at the end if you succeed, I will give you the opportunity to either return to your world or continue your life peacefully in Demon Slayer" Yoriichi responded "But don't worry, I can help you, I have the power to give you one special ability that you can pick from these choices". Just then, a selection of options appeared in front of Felix.
- The repetitive action
- The transparent world
- The selfless state
"So I can choose one of these?" Felix questioned.
"Yes, there are no limitations in this void" Yoriichi added.
"I think i'll choose the transparent world, that's what helped kill Muzan in the story" Felix said.
"Good choice, I myself back in my day possessed this skill. It is very helpful" Yoriichi added.
"Will I get to choose a breathing style as well?" Felix asked.
"Of course let me just display the options. Oh, that's strange, it doesn't seem to be working for you" Yoriichi responded.
"Wait, how am I meant to kill Muzan if I don't even have a breathing style?" Felix questioned.
"Unfortunately, you are going to have to find a teacher and learn one. I'm sorry human" Yoriichi said in response.
"So then why choose me Yoriichi? If the system doesn't work for me then wouldn't someone else be more helpful to you?" Felix asked.
"It's because I believe it broke for a reason, there's something special about you" Yoriichi added before he faded back into the darkness.
Felix was confused. He thought that there was no way Demon Slayer was actually real and he had been given the almost impossible task of killing Muzan. Suddenly, Felix's eyes began to shut again, and when he reopened them, he was in a different bed to where he fell asleep.
"Where am I?" he thought to himself. He had woken up in a small house. There were a lot of clanging noises outside so he went to check what was going on. Immediately he then realised where he was. He was in the Swordsmith Village. However, he also noticed that nothing was damaged and everybody seemed calm. This made him come to the conclusion that he had been transported to a time before the Upper Moons attacked the village.
This all felt so unreal to Felix. His trash life was left behind and not only had he met Yoriichi but also had been transported to the Demon Slayer world. Most importantly, he had finally been given a purpose in life. He had to kill Muzan.
"Am I still dreaming?" he thought to himself "This all doesn't seem real".
