The setting sun cast a warm glow, and a gentle evening breeze caressed her face, her hair swaying and brushing against her delicate cheeks. Memories drifted back to that early summer when her parents were still alive, fishing by the river, catching cicadas in the trees... Warm images rippled through her mind, and Mirajane smiled, saying, "Yes, goodbye Mom and Dad."
...
the other side.
In the lair of a certain dark guild, the place is gloomy, eerie, and terrifying, with dim lighting and an atmosphere of terror permeating the air.
On the throne in the hall, a mature and elegant female demon sat on a luxurious red throne, leaning back against the chair, her right elbow resting on the armrest, her right palm supporting her delicate chin, and her left hand holding a book, reading it carefully and murmuring softly.
"Human stories are so boring, saving people from disasters, self-sacrifice, heroism... they're all just boring and hypocritical stories."
"Humans who create such stories should be extinct; they are too hypocritical."
This young female demon is none other than Liang Yuetian Sera, a member of the Dark Guild, the Nine Ghost Gates of the Underworld.
Her long, smooth, lustrous purple hair cascaded over her graceful figure, exuding an aura of a well-educated and mature woman. Her shapely long legs were encased in black stockings, giving off a sense of desire to conquer them.
While reading, Sera muttered to herself, "The demon stories I made up are better. The stories I created have no mercy. These are the real stories."
To prevent human stories from becoming too overpowering, she decided to prove to the world that demon stories are the coolest. She will continue to create more demon stories and spread them.
As Sera was quietly reading, a click sounded, and the hall door suddenly opened, allowing a demon to rush in.
"Lady Sera...the mission has failed."
"The demon we created was defeated by a girl from a remote village, and the black mages we sent there were also defeated."
Upon hearing this, Sera, who was reading, narrowed her eyes and stared at the demon underling in front of her with a deathly gaze, coldly asking, "What happened?"
The demon brother truthfully reported everything he knew to Sera.
"Hmm?" Upon learning the truth, Sera's expression subtly changed, her narrowed eyes widening as she murmured to herself, "The other party has a partner, an eight-year-old boy. The ability he uses isn't magic or incantation, but a strange and powerful one?"
The demon underling truthfully replied, "Yes."
"According to intelligence, the enemy instantly killed thirty black mages."
“Interesting.” Sera closed the book, her beautiful eyes showing interest, and murmured, “Perhaps he will be an interesting subject, suitable to become the new protagonist of my book. Transforming him into a demon and then writing a demon story, that should be very interesting.”
"Now, our target has changed; it's that boy."
The little demon said devoutly, "Lord Sera, we understand."
Clearly, Sera was very interested in Ron, so she acted decisively. He was just an eight-year-old boy, nothing to be afraid of.
Transforming someone into a demon and then rewriting a demon story—that's truly wonderful.
Little did they know, the idea was nice, but the reality was cruel.
Immersed in her wonderful world, Sera was unaware that the gears of fate had begun to turn. Hesitation would lead to defeat, while decisiveness would result in giving away everything. Decisive Sera embarked on a path known as giving away everything.
[PS: Besides those summoned from various worlds, guild members can also be recruited from powerful demons, celestial spirit mages, etc., in the original work. This isn't about taking over someone else's business; it's just about poaching members from other guilds. Sera has never been in a relationship before.]

Mission 008 Makarov
Silently, Serra has already launched his attack, and crisis is quietly approaching.
On the other side, as Ron, Mirajane, and the others left Lance Village, two figures were also heading towards Lance Village at the same time.
One of the two was a delinquent with short yellow hair, a lightning bolt symbol in his left eye, a music player on his ear, and a tracksuit. He looked unruly and rebellious.
The other person was a middle-aged man with orange slicked-back hair, a little stubble on his chin, and wearing a dark green cloak with shoulder armor. The edges of the cloak were badly worn. He was muscular and wore a dark vest. He had a nonchalant and lazy demeanor.
The blond delinquent is thirteen-year-old Laxus, and the middle-aged man is thirty-five-year-old Gildarts.
Their presence here was naturally for a mission.
At this moment, Laxus crossed his arms and sneered, "Kildarts, I can handle this stupid mission by myself, what are you doing here?"
Because a demon has appeared in Lance Village, the village chief has issued a quest.
Because of its remote location, it would normally take a magic guild at least two days to reach Lance Village.
Laxus arrived so quickly because he was on a mission nearby when Makarov suddenly called him over.
At this time, Laxus was not yet extremely rebellious and was relatively obedient to Chairman Makarov.
However, Laxus did not expect that Gildarts would also come.
Gildarts scratched his head and chuckled, "Because I was also on a mission nearby, and the guild master requested it."
Laxus looked suspicious and said, "This is just a normal mission. You are an S-class mage. I don't think this mission requires you to be urgently mobilized."
"Also, I don't understand why I had to come here suddenly when it was just a regular mission."
Gildarts spread his hands out broadly and laughed as he explained, "Laxus, you're so thoughtful. In a few years, you'll definitely become an S-class mage too."
"Indeed, it's a normal mission, there's no need to urgently mobilize you, I'm here."
"This time, we're heading to Lance Village not only to complete a guild quest."
"There's also Chairman Makarov's personal mission."
Upon hearing this, Laxus narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What mission?"
Gildarts raised his right index finger and laughed, "Let's invite someone to join our guild."
Laxus asked, "Who?"
Gildarts replied, "Ron, a healing mage, that's a rare healing mage."
However, Lance Village is located in a remote area, and the locals just regarded Ron as an ordinary mage, so the news didn't spread. Otherwise, other guilds would have already come to snatch him away!
"The chairman spent a lot of money to get this information through an information broker."
"It is said that the guild master of Spectre has also received this information and plans to invite Ron to join Spectre."
"That's why the guild master urgently mobilized us, so that we could invite Ron to join Fairy Tail before Phantom Lord."
Indeed, the remote village of Lance regarded Mirajane's magic as demonic, and they naturally initially regarded Ron as an ordinary mage, unaware of the rarity of healing mages.
The reason Fairy Tail is so eager for a healing mage is because Fairy Tail is a troublesome guild where people often get injured, and this huge guild only has one healing mage, namely Porcyca, the Celestial Dragon Grandere of Edolas.
These troublemakers are getting injured every day, and Poliusika is simply too busy to keep up!
Therefore, when he heard that there were promising healing mages, Makarov decisively took action and began a plan to snatch them away from the Phantom Lord!
Not to mention, Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail are sworn enemies!
After learning the situation, Laxus remained aloof, scoffing, "Tch... What a boring old man, mobilizing me for such a trivial matter."
In response to Laxus's reaction, Gildarts tried to explain: "Laxus, you have to understand that in a guild, combat strength is very important, but doctors are also a very important profession. Although healing mages have poor combat strength, they are really important and extremely rare."
"Moreover, Poriusika is getting old and needs a successor."
"Otherwise, if someone in the guild gets injured, there won't be any good healing mages."
Laxus, as aloof as a wolf, was listening to music with headphones on, showing no interest whatsoever and completely ignoring Gildarts' explanation.
No matter what he says, he's just a healing mage. Only the weak would lack the combat power to become a healing mage. Even if Laxus jumped off the eighteenth floor, he wouldn't be interested in the weak or that so-called healing mage Ron.
Seeing this, Gildarts sighed softly; rebellious kids are really hard to manage.
After that, the two remained silent. Although Laxus had a sour face, he still obediently followed Gildarts' side, intending to complete this mission.
Before long, the two arrived at Lance Village, but the scene before them made Laxus and Gildarts pause for a moment.
Gildarts took out a map, glanced at it, then at the village of Lance in front of him, and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this lousy map is wrong!"
"Free maps are never good. What a heartless boss. He always rips me off with free stuff."
"This stinky old man, did he even steal the map? A dignified S-class mage stealing a map?" Laxus's lips twitched slightly as he mentally complained about Gildarts.
When he looked up at the village of Lance in front of him, he found that it was completely different from the village on the map. It was much smaller, only half the size of the village on the map.
Immediately, he took out his map from his pocket, studied it carefully, and then looked at the village of Lance in front of him. His expression changed from surprise to astonishment, and finally his eyes widened.
Gildarts, standing nearby, also glanced at the map in Laxus's hand, scratched the back of his head, and quipped, "Laxus, is your map free too?"
Laxus's forehead veins throbbed as he roared, "I paid for this!"
"Without a doubt, the village in front of us is Lance Village, only half of the houses have been destroyed!"
Moreover, the destructive power reduced the houses to ashes, making it impossible to tell that there were originally many houses here. This terrifying destructive power shocked Laxus.
Gildarts, who had been nonchalant, suddenly became serious and analyzed, "This place is in a remote location. I investigated before coming here. There is only one mage nearby, Ron, who only awakened healing magic two weeks ago."
"The fact that villagers are still active nearby indicates that it was not the Dark Guild or demons that caused the damage."
Upon hearing this, Laxus's eyes flashed with excitement. He gripped the map tightly in his hand and muttered to himself, "I think I'm starting to get interested in Ron now."
...Dividing line...
