There was fire.
Then pain.
Not the kind that hurts your body—but something deeper, like burning from the inside.
Eren opened his eyes.
He was sitting in the middle of a giant flame. The fire was red, black, and gold. It moved all around him, but didn't hurt him. His body didn't feel weak anymore. It felt… strong.
Didn't I die?
His last memory came back:
A quiet room. A ceiling fan. A rope.
Then… darkness.
Now, he was here.
He stood up slowly. His bare feet touched cracked black stone. I was in a dark place . The air smelled like ash.
Two people were waiting near the edge of the fire circle.
The first was a tall woman with sharp yellow eyes. Her skin looked like it had tiny scales. Snakes moved around her arms, calm but watching. She looked dangerous.
The second was huge—like a mountain. His body was made of stone and muscle. He had no face, just a large, ugly mouth that stretched from his neck to his chest. Sharp teeth lined it. That's where he breathed from.
When they see me They bend there knee.
And tell there name the snake woman said "I'm… Zenis Valmora dizem,"
And the stone giant said "I'm… Rost stoke karv,"
"I'm… Eren," he said, still confused. "Just Eren."
The two looked at each other. The woman's face tightened.
"Lord Eren Disgorze," she said slowly. "That's your name now."
"Disgorze?" he asked.
"It's the name all demon kings take," the giant said. "You're the last one. All others are dead."
Eren looked at his hands. They weren't his old hands. These were stronger. Sharp claws. Dark veins. Then he started wlking to the nearby broken mirror.
Then he sees himself His skin was pale gray, almost like cooled ash. Strange dark lines pulsed beneath it—like veins made of smoke. His eyes were no longer brown. One glowed red like fire, and the other was black, so dark it looked empty.
He felt something inside—power. He didn't know how to use it, but it was there.
"You summoned me? Why?" he asked.
"Because our people are dying," said the woman. "Only a few hundred demons are left. The humans, angels, and gods killed the rest. They want to erase us."
"You are our final hope," said the giant. "Our last fire."
"And what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"Burn the world," Zenis said, her snakes rising like blades.
Eren felt like he should run. Or scream. Or say no. But he didn't.
Instead, something inside him felt… empty. Like he had nothing left to lose.
You have nowhere to go back to, a voice whispered from his heart.
He looked at them and said,
"Fine. I'll burn this world…"
Then he paused.
"…but how?"
