Fantasy I Was Reborn as a Demon But Getting Revenge Will Be Difficult (Modern Fantasy/Isekai Interest Check)

Plot: You were an unfortunate soul as a human. You were at best poor or an illegitimate child, at worst you were a slave. In the war against the demon king's army, you were betrayed by your own kind, the humans. Some were stabbed in the back by supposed friends and allies, others were sacrificed in some religious ritual. In the end, you met your end not at the hands of a demon soldier, but at those of a human.

But as soon as you died, you reawoke into a new life. At first you think you were reborn into a later time or you are in a whole other world altogether. Well the latter is sort of correct. Rather, you were reborn as a demon and this time, life is looking better. You have a loving family, don't have to starve, slavery is banned in demon society and life is generally less troublesome. As you grow, you learn the demon's side of the conflict. You hear how the humans generally want the demons dead, about atrocities on the battlefields, about the barbarism of the humans. Then you remember, you were a human in your past life and the humans claimed all these things about the demons, yet you experienced first hand that the humans were just as rotten as what they claimed demons to be.

You would like to travel to the human world to get your revenge, however circumstances make that difficult. Firstly you have a stable life and your friends and family don't want to you go. But there may be other reasons why getting revenge is difficult, such as you were born into a family that is not known for producing combatants or you are predestined to be something else. Also transportals are not just readily available, but require special mages who you mostly only find in the military. And travelling to the human lands without a transportal is a long and arduous journey. Are you really sure you want revenge?

Demons: Demons are not a completely separate species, but descended from a common ancestor to humans and elves. They are closer related to elves than to humans and tend to have roughly equal lifespans to elves (a couple centuries, even a millennium in extreme cases). They are physically stronger than humans and elves and can have similar magical capabilities to elves. But compared to humans, demons are actually less aggressive, however not as pacifist as elves are.

Demons are usually tanned to dark skinned, sometimes even red or grey skinned, rarely light-skinned. Hair colors can be white, blonde, brown, red, black, in rare instances green, purple or pink. Eye colors can be any color of the rainbow except for white. Height wise, they range from human height to around 2,50 meters tall.

Setting: Orchard Island in the West Avaros Sea. Pretty much one of the furthest places from human civilization. The island itself takes a couple days to walk across and has about three dozen villages and a small town. As the name implies, the island is known for it's orchards as it is one of the main producers of Sazu fruit (looks like a rounder lime but tastes like a Satsuma orange) in the south western part of Avaros (a continent including nearby archipelagos). The main non-religious festival on the island is the Sazu festival.

Orchard Island itself is part of a small nation with two other islands: The Rainbow Islands Kingdom. It is a parliamentary monarchy. The king's seat is on the second largest island of Sunspire Island (Orchard Island being the largest). The smallest island in the kingdom is Forest Island. In terms of population, Sunspire is the most populous, followed by Orchard Island, then Forest Island. The only real city is on Sunspire Island. To the continent of Avaros, it is around one to two weeks journey depending on how favorable the wind is. To get to the human lands, it is by conventional means a couple months journey. Though magic aided forms of transportation do exist.

Magic: While most demons can use magic, you still need to learn it. Most demons know household magic such as starting fires, heating water or so. But for professional magics you need a mentor or need a special ability to be able to try spells from books. Types of magic: Elemental (air, water, earth, fire), dark magic, light magic/healing, summoning, illusion, taming, combat enhancement magic.

Technology: Some modern technologies exist, however a lot of technology is not imported due to slow moving transportation. A lot of technologies are produced locally or regionally. So basically, PCs exist, but they are all produced within The Rainbow Island Kingdom and the "internet" is only limited to the Rainbow Islands. Weapons-wise, you still have swords and wands. Closest you have to guns are gunblades which are sword/magic rifle hybrids. Personal automobiles don't exist in the Rainbow Islands, but scooters and mana powered motorbikes do, as well as mana powered busses and railway. Otherwise ask if you don't know if a technology exists in this world.


If enough people are interested, I will make an actual roleplay.
 
This sounds like a fun idea. I'd like to join if this is ever a thing! Though I wonder how this would work as a group? Would we all be playing characters that have been reincarnated and work towards the same goal of revenge?

I'd say most characters might seek revenge but also have their doubts about it. The question would rather be which lengths your character would be willing to go through to exact revenge and if it is worth it.
 
This is an interesting idea. I'd like to join if it ever gets going.
