Chapter 5 - I will fulfill your dream

I carefully looked at my profile and it seems decent for the least.

But if my stats are like this, then what about the normal stats and what about the stats of the demon king, Muzan?

[A normal healthy adult man has stats at 10 at most. While the strongest one, the demon king has his stats over 100.]

Over 100 hundred, huh?

Not very far then.

But what about the Hashira's?

[The stone hashira, the strongest among them have stats at 80.]

Oh... he does live up to his title as the strongest hashira.

But just that won't be enough.

So other hashiras must be on a similar level. Even if I encounter a hashira now, I might be able to save my life atleast.

I then looked at the other abilities I have. It was a ability that all demons possessed, the basic regeneration and the other one was the mark of demon slayer.

Having these two just makes me too overpowered.

And I even have a blood demon art... sun flame?

[Sun flame: The scorching flames of sun, that can burn humans and even demons with it. The lower demons affected by it will die instantly, even the 12 lower and upper moons will take a lot of time to heal from it.]

So, am I going to become more and more overpowered with each passing moment?

I felt good. I never expected things to turn out this way, but it really do feel great.

Hmm? Why is there...

Then I noticed my breathing technique, I did notice it before but it was actually extending.

[Breathing technique: Sun breathing.

(proficiency 6%)]

My proficiency is just 6%?

[You will need to practice them more to raise the proficiency.]

I know that much.

Saying that, I got up from my place. I need to check on Nezuko and Mother.

It still hurts to see the corpses of my family like that. But it was an unfortunate accident and I couldn't do anything about it.

May their soul rest in piece.

[Host, you still have a pending item to redeem.]

The system notified me again.

Then, open it for me.

[Congratulations, host. You have received a welcome gift package.]

[You have got a Nichirin sword as your gift.]

Hey, shouldn't I have gotten this package when I transmigrated?

[Yes, host you should have, but the system wasn't fully synchronised at that time. Only after you finished your first quest, it fully synchronised.]

Alright.

[The sword has been placed on the system storage. You can take it out whenever you want.]

Why wait for later? I will do it right away.

I clicked on the storage on the bottom of my profile, opeing the system storage.

There was a single item, the Nichirin sword.

I took the sword out and held it in my hand.

It was a steel sword, with a dark and red striped handle.

Immediately after I held it, it began to change its colour.

From the sliver steel that it was first, it now turned into deep black.

So, it didn't change from the original path... it is still the same black sword.

I casually swing the sword to test it out.

Swish... slash...

It easily cut the wall which was made from wood and a terrifying gust of wind made just from the brute force followed after.

It destroyed the wall beside me with ease.

This is good.

Being OP on the first day as a transmigrator... this is a good feeling.

But let's put this aside for now.

I need to check on mother and Nezuko.

I went near mother, she was still unconscious. Her body was swollen a bit, deep cut marks all over her body and she was resisting her transformation into a demon.

I carefully placed her on the floor straight and lifted the body of my little sister who couldn't survive this tragic end.

My heart filled with dread, an unpleasant feeling filled me as if my heart was clenched tightly by someone.

Suddenly, I felt a drop rolling down my cheeks.

I apologise that I wasn't able to save them, I couldn't reach here on time to save any of your siblings, but I promise you Tanjiro, your dream of healing your sister and defeating the demon king... I will fulfill that for you.

I have taken over your body and now I am willing to take over your responsibilities as well.

I pledged inside my heart.

Well, maybe i am overreacting a bit, but I just feel like doing it.

While I read the manga and watched the anime of demon slayer, I never really felt anything towards Tanjiro, he wasn't an overpowered protagonist neither a cool character, but one thing was certain, he was one of the kindest main character.

Which i respect about him.

I am not like him, I maybe feel kindness sometimes but I am not the kindest one.

I will take a different route than you, but i will still make your dream come true, and will try to change the ending a little bit where less people are killed.
