My Life Jumping Worlds

I exit the orphanage just as it begins to collapse. I dive forward, hoping that no debris hits me. I look around, see that the orphanage isn't the only thing that collapsed. I look into the distance at the main hub of the Heavenly Demon clan. it's absolutely scorched. I don't think anyone could have survived any of that. I then look around the town below the estate.

I try to ignore the scent of burnt pork as I see many of my fellow Heavenly Demons desiccated and burnt corpses strung about like a hurricane of wind and fire has hit everything and they were just unlucky enough to be in the way.

I feel that this isn't true though. We were targeted. Why? I don't know, but I need to get to Rem and Ram. I run for about 30 minutes until I see a witch cultist about to hit Ram's horn. I dive forward, shoving the sword I stole from the orphanage into the cloaked man's t.h.i.g.h. He screeches a "How dare you spoil my- "I don't let him finish because as soon as he kneels due to pain, I slit his throat as quickly as my arms can manage.

Rem faints, and I vomit all over the witch cultist I just killed. I notice there's blood all over my face and arms. I wretch and vomit until there's nothing left in my stomach and then I wretch and gag more. I just killed someone. I know he was trying to kill me and two people I care for- But I just killed someone.

Then I hear a voice.

Ohhhh myyyyyy,~ you reallyyy shouldn't feel bad about killiiing one of those peeeople. they are in fact scuum and deserve no quarterrr~.

Is this guy singing? What the heck?

He then blasts a witch cultist who was charging at him with a quick burst of fire. He didn't even need to name the spell.

What is he?

He just smiles at me. Like he isn't the most suspicious thing I've ever seen. He's wearing clown makeup, a dark grey tuxedo. He has Blue hair a shade darker than Rem's sky blue hair. He also wears a flamboyant green vest underneath his tuxedo coat with a yellow ascot hanging above it.

None of this makes sense. Why were we targeted? He seems like someone who can't be trusted at all. What are the chances that this asshat didn't come here to take advantage of us? or maybe he planned this and thinks we're interesting.

I look past him, looking for a chance to escape. I then look back at Rem and Ram, who won't stand a second against this guy if I leave.

"Would you like to cooome with meeee to my manor and be servants? I pay well and I prooomiiise I won't harm you.~

"What do you want from us?" I hiss. not buying his generosity.

"I want to helllpp youuuuu~" He responds with more nonsense.

I decide to go along with it. it's not like I can go against him, with the kind of power he's shown if I run he might incinerate me. If I don't follow along he might do something to Rem and Ram.

A four-hour carriage ride later, and Ram somehow really likes him. No matter what I say, she won't listen. I know for a fact that he's messing with our heads. Rem looks terrified, and reasonably so, I don't think I would be able to stand being near someone who keeps trying to alter our mind.

"Stay heeere~" he commands us.

Ram is taken inside, and there's nothing I can do to stop her from following him.

Rem starts crying and I hold her hand. "We'll get through this," I promise her.
