I woke up to find myself alone, in the mountains. The first thing I realized was that I was not a child, instead a teenager with black hair, tied up like a samurai. I was slightly confused on what to do so I shouted out "System!", only to receive no response.
I began exploring my surroundings to find out where in the world I was. I looked to see small village and as I was heading towards it, the system finally responded.

Possible Death
From what I could remember of watching anime when I was a teen, Demon Slayer was an anime and the parts of the quest that I had to complete would prove to be extremely difficult.
The good side of things were that I could easily level up and get strong enough to survive in Naruto. I didn't have time to waste so I started to run to the village, it was getting dark.
A villager allowed me to stay at their home so I slept for the night. "It's a Marechi! I will enjoy this one!" was what I heard as I woke up in the middle of the night. I saw a tall, menacing humanoid figure with fangs for teeth and red eyes. I locked eyes with it and instantly put all my spare stat points into strength.
STR: 3(+2) →23(+2)
VIT: 3(+2)
DEX: 2(+2)
INT: 15.5 (+2)
WIS: 12.2 (+2)
CHA: 5(+2)
BRE 5(+2)
Points: 0
I felt a surge in my muscles, they grew and I felt more powerful. The demon tried to hit me but I dodged and sent an uppercut his way. The demon-like humanoid figure was visibly in pain and said:
"Ah! Damn you. I'll get you sooner or later and when I will, let's just say things won't go your way"
I was mortified by this experience as I was very close to being killed and could use a lot of training.
"Thank you for saving my life! With your level of skill and strength, you could even join the demon slayer corps, I will use my authority to recommend you for the final selection test. It should be pretty soon, only a few days from now!"
I thanked the villager and headed to a nearby forest. So I could get warmed up, I ran a few laps around the entire forest
Due to a high intensity workout, your VIT and DEX have increased by 1.
After the exercise, at around 10 am
I left the forest to visit the village again. In the market, I saw a cheap katana which I inspected:
Inspect: Lvl MAX
Old Katana, Rarity- Common
This Katana was forged by a professional blacksmith and at its best, it could have been a very strong sword. However, over time its quality has deteriorated but it is still a solid sword.
STRx2= damage
For its price it was alright and the fact that my strength stat was somewhat high, it was the perfect weapon for me.
"How much does this sword cost?" I asked
"1000 Ryo, take it or leave it" mumbled an old man with a bandana covering his forehead.
I bought the weapon and headed off to my next destination, a mountain range.
Would you like to activate training against holograms? Y/N
I chose yes as it would be a good opportunity to get strongerl.
Lesser Demon – Level 5 (Blood demon art ON)
HP – 700/700
A lifelike hologram of the demon appeared right in front of me, it was almost indistinguishable to the demon I had previously fought, other than the fact it had a slight blue tinge to it.
I dodged the dagger it sent flying at me and tried to stab it with my sword to kill it but as its armour was too thick, it proved to very difficult. With all of my might, I pierced through its thick skin and almost got to its muscles but it sent me flying with a punch. The only reason I previously defeated it was due to its carelessness.
I used my absurdly overpowered strength stat to send a few punches at it.
-100 HP
-100 HP
You have landed a critical hit! 100*5= -500 HP

My stats had improved slightly, I was quite happy about that. However, I was not ready for the final selection exam, where I would have to fight multiple demons, therefore I decided to train my fitness and my speed. I found a nice cave and hunted 200 boars, all of which I stored in my inventory, a useful part of the system. I decided to meditate, even though my body was stronger due to more stats in strength, I could not fully use it and it would be a good idea to increase my intelligence before I got into battle
A few months later
INT: 15.5 (+2) → 27.5(+2)
WIS: 12.2 (+2) → 24.2(+2)
Meditation (Active) Lvl 15 [64.42%].
Meditation is a skill created through continuous inner focus. Meditation helps to sharpen focus and order thoughts, and it increases clarity of mind and awareness of the body.
Passively increase INT by 14.5%
Passively increase WIS by 14.5%
My hair had grown considerably, considering the fact that I was only meditating for around 4 months. It nearly reached shoulder length, possibly due the blood flow during meditation. My muscles had also grown considerably, mostly lean muscle. My body had been fully cleansed and most impurities were removed through meditation.
I took out the old katana from my inventory and went to a nearby river to clean it. I saw a girl, around the same age as me who blushed and ran away. I looked to see if there was anything wrong with my face and realized that I was naked the whole time. I was hit with a flurry of emotions, mainly embarrassment. I conveniently found some cotton which I picked up.
System, can you turn this into underwear?
Do it yourself, you lazy b*#^!
And thus began my journey on learning how to make clothing and armour. It would be essential as a ninja, if I got injured or my armour/clothing got pierced, I would need to know how to repair my armour. I slowly learnt the basics and made my self a set of underwear. I found a black, iron-like substance lying around on a blacksmith's anvil and waited for the blacksmith to leave to quickly steal the metal. It took him 10 hours to leave. Seriously, what kind of workaholic was this crazy! I stole the metal, his anvil and ran away immediately.
I foraged for flint, only to find none. I began rubbing two pieces of wood together to start a fire. A few minutes later, a small fire started to form and I began to use some nearby sticks to fuel it. I took out the anvil and began forging the metal to make a sword
"Inspect!" I called out.
Nichirin (Hot!)
An extremely strong metal used to make swords for demon slayers.
It seemed valuable but I continued forging a sword. I tried to turn on "Auto-pilot", a feature that let the system take over but it said another instance was running so I was quite confused. After finishing off the sword, I held it and inspected it:
Intermediate Nichirin Blade (Uncommon-Rare) :
Damage: (200 + STR*3)x1.5
A sword forged by an amateur, the only redeeming factor being his strength, which made the metal somewhat flexible.
This sword was decent, the only thing I disliked was the system's description. It wasn't even human and still hated me. This was much better than my old katana that I bought from the market.
I had begun to swing it around, to test how it felt. It was light but at the same time sturdy. As I swung it around, I concentrated my breathing and saw small crescent moons. I was confused but I just disregarded it as my brain messing with me.
I would have to take the Final selection exam in 2 months so until then my daily exercise routine consisted of:
A 15 km jog, 350 push-ups, 200 sit-ups and 400 burpees
VIT: 4 (+2) → 11.0(+2)
DEX: 3 (+2) → 10.0(+2)
I was running to another village, this one protected by multiple demon slayer corps. I was running fast and did not realize a person was in front of me.
A blue-haired man with dilated eyes stared into my soul and said "Be more careful or there won't be a next time." Like any other reasonable person in my shoes would be, I was completely terrified and thought "inspect"
Giyu Tomioka, Water Hashira/Pillar
Lv- 50+
REP- -1 (Very slightly dislikes you)
A flipping Hashira? Out of anybody I could have annoyed, a flipping hashira?
I decided to go back into the forest to get some more practice hunting and killing animals so my hesitation against killing demons would be removed. It was getting late and misty so I decided to leave the forest. Unfortunately, I was lost and only ended up going further into forest and saw a mountain and a faint light. I saw a house and decided to approach it to realize there were people who welcomed me in. I had a few onigiris and went to sleep soon after.
Bang! A strong force broke through the door and I woke up to find a man with red eyes who looked eerily similar to Michael Jackson.
"Inspect!" I thought.
Muzan Kibutsuji: Demon King.
Lv- 150+
REP- 5 (likes you a little)
"I came to kill off the kamado family but look what we have here! A fresh, strong human with a lot of muscle! He could and should become a demon, even if not part of the twelve kizuki, at least a higher-ranking demon!" he said while I was asleep.
I woke up to a message from the system:
Quest Alert!
LIFE IN DANGER- System requests to take over? Y/N
The system will hold Muzan Kibutsuji off until a few hashira arrive, it is daytime or until Muzan decides to retreat.
HP- 90000/100000
I was not fully awake so I clicked yes and a fight began.
"I" took out my Nichirin sword and went in for a clean decapitation. Muzan, being the demon lord, easily dodged the attack and sent one of his own.
LIFE IS IN CRITICAL DANGER, X5 STATS WILL BE ACTIVATED.
My speed suddenly increased and I put all of my strength into an attack I thought would work: Hinokami Kagura, 2nd form- Clear blue sky. The attack I released was quite similar to the Hyuga's Kaiten, but instead of defense, this attack was mostly aimed at attack.
-10,000 HP
Although this amount of damage would be more than enough to kill any hashira, Muzan was the demon king and regenerated the lost HP in a matter of seconds.
"I guess this will be a long fight. I will retreat for now but before I do, I will give him a small gift. [insert anime villain laugh here]. If I have another lower moon, it will be more than enough to get rid of the demon slayer corps. Energy has been used up fully. Entering hibernation mode. System [CONTROL] has been deactivated.
I fell to the ground in exhaustion. Muzan injected a small portion of his blood into me and I could not fight back
And that's a wrap, my chapters will be this length from now on and I will try to release two a week. Peace out and review!
