Chapter 2 Wouldn't it be nice to be invincible?
Parallel world.
That refers to other worlds that exist in parallel with the original world and are both similar and different.
In this world, there is the same universe as the original world, the same planet, and even the same history and the same people, but at the same time, the development of things has different results for some reasons.
It is possible that species that have become extinct in the original world have survived in this world.
It is possible that countries that were once extinct in the original world have also been saved in this world.
Under such circumstances, this world continues to develop and eventually becomes increasingly distant from the original world, becoming another world that is similar yet different. This is the so-called parallel world.
Now, Su Ming is facing such a situation.
In other words, he traveled to a parallel world and became Su Ming of this world.
As far as Su Ming knows, this world seemed to be the same as the original Earth a long, long time ago, ordinary and normal.
But here, the world has two sides.
One side is the surface where various life forms, including humans, live.
One side is filled with vicious monsters.
There is no order there, and no life except vicious monsters.
The monsters kept killing each other there, feeding on blood, turning the place into a chaotic and dark hell.
That is the Demon Prison, a place located on the inner side of the world inhabited by vicious monsters called phantom demons.
Originally, the front and back of the world would never intersect.
Just like the two sides of a mirror, it is impossible for them to reflect each other, touch each other, or see each other.
If these two sides never intersect, then this world will be just like the world Su Ming originally lived in, ordinary and common.
Unfortunately, in this world, due to unknown reasons, the human-dominated world is connected to the Demon Prison where phantom demons live.
As a result, the distance between the real world and the Demonic Prison was infinitely shortened.
The result was that blood-feeding, bloodthirsty phantom demons began to invade the human world, posing an unprecedented threat to all living things in the world.
Humans are powerless to resist the phantom demons.
Because not only do phantom demons possess extraordinary powers that humans cannot imagine, their physical structure is also completely different from that of humans. Even the weakest phantom demon can recover from its injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye even if it is shattered into pieces, demonstrating extremely terrifying vitality.
Therefore, humans were wantonly slaughtered, eaten, and sucked dry of blood by the phantom demons, becoming as fragile as ants.
Especially some extremely powerful individuals among the phantom demons, their power can even easily change the terrain and disrupt the earth of the planet.
Therefore, although this world is still the Earth, the blue planet that Su Ming is familiar with, under the influence of the phantom demon, many completely different places have appeared.
For example, this world does not have the countries that Su Ming is familiar with. Even the cities have changed, becoming huge base cities to fight against the Spirit Demon Prison and the Phantom Demon.
The city where Su Ming is now is a base city called Longyao City, with a population of over 60 million.
It has been a year since Su Ming came to this world.
Having said that, his parents are still the parents he is familiar with, and the place they live in has not changed, which is a small house with four bedrooms and two living rooms. Even his neighbors and interpersonal relationships have not changed much. The life experiences before the age of 17 are not much different from what Su Ming remembers.
If the city had not changed and the home address had not been different from the past, Su Ming would definitely have suspected that he was wearing a fake Yue.
However, life experiences and interpersonal relationships have not changed much, but the surrounding environment and circumstances have completely changed.
For example, the school that Su Ming is attending now is no longer an ordinary educational institution, but a talent training institution for fighting against phantom demons that specializes in enrolling warlocks and hunters, commonly known as the Demon Hunting Academy.
Warlocks and hunters, these two professional talents emerged under the influence of the Demon Prison, and thus possessed special physiques and powers, thus also having the ability to fight against and hunt down phantom demons.
Su Ming became a warlock studying at the Demon Hunting Academy.
Not only him, but also Lei Hao and Ye Bai, who had known him since childhood and had always had contact with him, became a hunter and a warlock respectively, and were admitted to the Demon Hunting Academy together with him and became students of the Demon Hunting Academy.
Article 1 of the Demon Hunting Academy Rules: Students should take it as their responsibility to eliminate the phantom demons, fight against the phantom demons, and protect the base city and ordinary citizens.
Because of this school rule, in addition to daily studies, students at the Demon Hunting Academy must also take on some missions.
Most of the missions involve hunting down lower-level phantom demons that have escaped from the Demon Prison to the real world, rescuing ordinary citizens who have been persecuted by the appearance of phantom demons, or collecting some special materials and items.
If you complete the task, you will be able to get various rewards, including but not limited to money.
Su Ming, Lei Hao and Ye Bai accepted a mission today, which was to eliminate a screaming demon hiding in the warehouse area and retrieve its wings.
The difficulty of this task is not high, only level C. Among the six difficulty levels of tasks, S, A, B, C, D, and E, it is equivalent to the lower-middle level.
After all, the Screaming Demon is just a low-level phantom demon, a common minnow in the Demon Prison. If it weren't for its ability to fly and its high maneuverability, it would be quite difficult to eliminate it. This mission would be impossible to reach C level, and reaching D level would be considered pretty good.
But even so, Su Ming and the other two almost made a mistake and let the screaming demon escape. This shows how tricky the phantom demon is.
"Well, after all, we are just ordinary students in the Demon Hunting Academy, not even elites, let alone compared with the top students."
After completing the delivery of the task, Lei Hao walked out of the door of the mission hall, easily carrying a sword that was bigger than a person, and said these words.
"That's no excuse for your negligence."
Ye Bai, who was walking next to him, didn't indulge him at all.
But from the fact that Ye Bai did not refute this, it can be seen that Lei Hao was telling the truth.
Compared with ordinary people, these three people are naturally much stronger.
But in the Demon Hunting Academy, the grades and strength of the three were not considered high. Even if they were not at the bottom, they were always hovering in the middle, neither high nor low. They could only be described as ordinary students.
If not for this, the three of them wouldn't have teamed up together to complete the C-rank mission.
In other words. "In the Demon Hunting Academy, we are just supporting roles, right?"
Lei Hao spoke nonchalantly.
This time, it was not Ye Bai who responded to Lei Hao, but Su Ming who had remained silent.
"Isn't it good to be a supporting role?" Su Ming suddenly said, "No matter what the occasion is, you only need to run errands. You don't need to desperately save the world like the protagonist and be a hero in people's eyes. You don't need to be like those supporting roles who may be sacrificed at any time and die casually. Isn't this good?"
Su Ming's proposal made Lei Hao and Ye Bai blink their eyes.
Then, the two of them laughed.

"Indeed, being a protagonist in this world is very dangerous." Ye Bai pushed his glasses and said realistically, "Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the elites in the academy. They need to complete a difficult A-level mission every month. Once there is danger somewhere in Longyao City and the academy needs to send students to fill in the gaps, they are often the first to be selected, not to mention the top students."
"That's right." Lei Hao said carelessly, "For example, in our Hunter Academy, several elite students ranked in the top 100 died in A-level missions this month."
"Isn't it the same in our Warlock Department?" Ye Bai sighed and said, "Last month, a senior who taught us to use the Twelve Styles followed the instructor to perform an A-level mission and died as well. That senior was a well-known good man, very popular, and very talented. Many teachers felt sorry for his death."
This is the cruelty of this world.
After all, there are only a few people who can fight against the phantom demon.
Becoming a warlock or a hunter is not an easy task.
On the other hand, even the weakest individual of a phantom demon can become a threat to the lives of most people.
If there are only one or two, it would be fine and it would not be difficult to defeat them. However, if a large number of phantom demons collectively invade the world, it would be a huge disaster.
In view of this, when the phantom demons invade the world in large numbers, human base cities are often short of manpower.
In this case, the missing manpower can only be drawn from the Demon Hunting Academy. This is also the reason why many tasks will be handled by the Demon Hunting Academy and completed by students.
Warlock and Hunter are such high-risk professions.
But humans have no choice but to continue resisting, otherwise, becoming the blood food of the phantom demon will be the fate of all mankind.
Su Ming said so.
"My wish is to be a minor character, to get through the Demon Hunting Academy until graduation, and even to continue to get through after graduation. I will never be the first one to charge into battle."
Su Ming said this with a tone full of conviction.
Neither Lei Hao nor Ye Bai felt surprised.
Just because this is not the first time Su Ming has said this.
The only problem is that "extras have their own sorrows."
"Without real ability, the supporting role will be the one that will die the fastest."
Lei Hao and Ye Bai both said so.
This is indeed the case.
Being a supporting role may mean that you won't get any attention, and you won't be pushed out to take the blame when you're in danger. But if you're too weak, you might die at any time under the Boss's full-field AOE, and become a lunch box that doesn't even deserve a name.
Su Ming's wish would be nothing but a joke in the eyes of those who don't know the truth.
It's just "Won't it be fine if I wait until I become invincible?"
Su Ming smiled at his two friends.
Lei Hao and Ye Bai burst into laughter.
"Yes, just grow slowly. When you become invincible, all problems will be solved."
"I'm just worried that the extras won't have the chance to stand out."
The two of them chatted casually.
Su Ming fell behind at the end, still with a smile on his face, only his consciousness sank into his mind.
There, an interface quietly unfolds like a virtual image.
