Demon Slayers: Swordsman
Chapter 1 — Awakening
The first thing Ren felt was the cold grass beneath his back and the distant rustle of leaves. A gentle wind moved through the trees, carrying the scent of damp soil and wild forest.
His eyes slowly opened to a sky filtered through tall branches, sunlight breaking in thin golden streaks.
Ren frowned and pushed himself up, brushing dirt from his clothes. His head felt slightly dizzy, like waking from a long dream.
"Were am I?" he muttered, looking around the unfamiliar forest.
The trees were dense and towering, nothing like any park or road he remembered. There were no buildings, no sounds of civilization—only the endless quiet of wilderness.
Before he could process it further, a sharp mechanical sound echoed in his mind.
{Ding! System Binding Compleat}
Ren froze.
He blinked twice and looked around as if someone had spoken near him.
"A System? Why do i have it?" he said slowly, confusion filling his voice.
"Were am I?"
The mechanical voice returned instantly.
{Ding! You are In "Demon Slayer world"}
{DING! You have starter pack available.}
{Would you like to open it?}
Ren's eyes widened slightly.
"Demon Slayers?" he repeated under his breath.
He rubbed his chin while thinking, memories rushing through his mind.
"You mean 'kemosto no yaiba'… the world filled with demons and breathing style using swordsman."
For a moment he simply stared ahead, letting the information sink in.
The system replied calmly.
{Yes}
A slow grin appeared on Ren's face.
"Awesome."
He stood up fully now, stretching his arms above his head while letting out a relieved breath.
"Honestly… I was scared of demons before," he admitted with a small laugh.
"But if I have a system now, being scared would just be embarrassing."
He looked toward the sky through the trees, excitement replacing his confusion.
"System, open the Starter Pack."
A soft glow flashed before his eyes.
{Ding! You have opened Starter Pack -}
{1. Youriichi Tsugikuni's Template.}
{2. Suprime Grade Sword: Akatsuki.}
Ren's expression instantly froze.
Then his eyes widened so much they almost popped out.
"Youriichi Tsugikuni????"
He pointed at himself in disbelief.
"Won't I be invencibal?"
For a few seconds he stood there silently, trying to process the absurd luck he had just received.
Then suddenly—
"BHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Ren threw his head back and burst into loud laughter.
"Seriously? The strongest demon slayer in history?" he said while wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.
"Man… this world is about to have a bad day."
A faint flash of light appeared beside him.
A black and crimson katana slowly materialized in his hand, its sheath decorated with subtle flame-like patterns.
Ren examined the blade with sparkling eyes.
"So this is Akatsuki… a Supreme Grade Sword."
He gently rested the sword at his waist, tying it securely before stretching again.
"Not bad," he muttered with satisfaction.
The forest around him remained quiet, but now the silence felt like the calm before adventure.
Ren placed both hands behind his head and started walking casually through the woods.
Sword on his waist.
Smile on his face.
"Bhahhahahha Well let's see what this world has to offer," Ren said laughing.
Without any particular direction, he simply walked forward.
After all—
his new life had just begun.
