For a brief moment, reality shifted, there was no reason for it to do so, it simply did, it was a common occurrence one used to shape and alter time and space to make sure that not all fates were set in stone.

These shifts sometimes caused entire lands to be moved from one world to another, or move one person from one reality to another.

Regardless of this, the shift had occurred and all gods and devils watched, wondering what chat change had occurred, few things entertained them after all.

Kazuma could feel the cold wind touch his skin, and he looked around not really understanding what was happening, he had just used explosion and killed both the demon king and himself finally ending the war and now he stood here, but where exactly was here.

The sound of someone walking behind him caught his attention and so he turned around to see who it was, to his surprise he found a little girl no older than ten or twelve walking alone.

She had long white hair, equally white skin and red eyes, she wore a purple coat with a purple hat and white dress underneath, with purple boots covering her feet.

"Hey, are you lost?" Kazuma asked her, despite no knowing exactly where he was even standing at.

She just looked at him smiling, she didn't do or say anything but every one of Kazuma's instincts screamed danger, it was only a moment but Kazuma felt his instincts take over and his escape kill activated.

He had narrowly avoided death, as a giant sword made of stone crushed the spot where he had been standing in, the giant stone sword was held by a giant made of pure muscle, wearing some kind of skirt that had pieces of metal on it for armor.

A puls of energy made him move as fast as he could and before he knew it, the same giant was nearly on top of him, again his escape skill activated and he managed to dodge the attack.

Kazuma turned to look at the little girl and noticed she was watching everything peacefully, the fact that the wind blew cold air didn't seem to matter to her, no, she was happily watching her monster try to kill him.

Kazuma wished his friends were here if Darkness was around she would fight and fail to hit the giant at all, but none of his attacks would even hurt her.

That was it, Kazuma reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a mask, and put it on, the top part of his face was covered by the black and white mask.

He finally landed on top of a wall and for the first tie since coming to this world, he looked around and noticed that it was night time and that he was in some sort of city in similar to the one he had grown up in.

the giant landed in front of him, his giant form was somehow faster and if its muscles told the truth, it was equally as strong as a high-level monster.

The giant just grew and Kazuma felt four more pulses of energy arrive, instantly his enemy detection skill activated and he found four more people, or monsters watching him and the giant.

There was no way he could run, the monster already proved it could keep up with him, and even if he attacked the girl, there was no guarantee she couldn't defend herself.

No, of course, she could, she had to be able to do some scary things, if she was controlling the monster somehow.

The monster just grew as it looked at him, and Kazuma jumped off the wall before he and the giant began to circle each other, every thief knew he would one day have to fight and fight someone stronger than him.

Thankfully he had fought and beaten monsters stronger than the one in front of him before, only that back then his friends were with him.

'Roooar!" The giant screamed and ran towards him.

Kazuma put all of his energy into his speed skill and his dodge skill and ran towards the giant, their movements became a blur as the giant swung its fist and its sword at Kazuma, while Kazuma dodged and touched the giant whenever he could.

The giant screamed as if felt its energy leave him little by little, and Kazuma somehow knew that he had made it angry, but he was confident now, he knew he could hurt the thing.

All it took was an instant, but in that one instant, nearly all of Kazumas confidence vanished, when the giant suddenly graved him and squeezed.

To everyone watching the fight, they would have sworn that Kazuma's eyes began to glow red as the giant screamed in pain.

A savage grin grew on Kazuma's face, as the giant had given him exactly what he wanted, a way of touching it and using his drain touch skill at full power.

The giant tried to squeeze him, but Kazuma was someone that had died in so many ways, experienced all sorts of pain and was repeatedly brought back to life so he could keep going.

Something small like being crushed to death didn't affect him anymore, especially since his drain touch was restoring all of his broken bones and crushed organs.

Finally, the giant fell and Kazuma turned to look at its master, his eyes still glowing with the exes amount of power he had just taken from the monster.

His entire body glowed with energy, as he slowly walked towards her, the exes energy was restoring his body as fast as it could, but when he was about to reach her the giant suddenly stood back up graved her and ran away.

Kazuma just stood there letting his body restore itself, he knew that the others were still watching him, but he didn't care, right now he only cared about being able to breathe again.

"Where was he? He should either be with Aqua in Heaven or with his friends in that other world, this wasn't his prise, this wasn't what was promised to him if he defeated the demon king." Kazuma thought to himself as he looked at the night sky and felt the cold air begin to fill his lungs again.

Lightning began to take over the sky and Kazuma felt a pulse of energy before the lightning struck in front of him, he instantly knew that it was another monster, considering his enemy detection was activated.

Kazuma prepared himself to run away or fight if he had no other choice, but when the lightning cleared two oxen pulling a chariot and a muscular man with red hair and red full red beard riding the chariot lifted his hand showing him he had no intention of fighting.

"He's human." the man said as he looked at Kazuma.

"I was under the impression that this era, didn't have champions like him anymore." he continued to talk to himself.

Kazuma didn't say anything he just activated his escape skill and ran away, he had to find out where he was and how he could go back home.
