## Past

### Demonfall

Neti grew up alongside his younger sister, Nawamon Koonkleang. When he was still a child, his sister sacrificed herself to protect him from the Demons. After the death of Nawamon, Neti tried to tell others that she was killed by a Demon, however, he was labeled as mentally ill and was sent away to one of his relatives, a doctor. Neti ran away during the journey there and almost died on a mountain, but he was rescued and became apprenticed under Grimm.

Neti was 13 years old when he met Peerawat while training under Grimm, and they became good friends due to their similar pasts and age. Together, they entered the Final Selection on Mount Fujikasane. Neti was injured after a Demon's attack and was saved by Peerawat, who defeated nearly every Demon on the mountain. However, they are passed final selection and becoming slayer.

In 1916 Neti was facing Krittapat at Coast Forest. However, Krittapat was defeated in this battle. Later in 1923 Neti was join a Slayer and Demon Final Battle and he was died after defeated King of Demons, Natthapol. At the age 25.

## DTFOT

After his death, Neti trained constantly by simulating every single movement and technique of the swordsmen and animals that he saw when he was alive. He has faced their images ten of thousands of times and surpassed all of them while also mastering their moves.

130 years after his death when all of the governments decided to end thai populations, Jiraporn pointed out a clause known as DTFOT which gives humanity a fighting chance. All of the governments rejected the idea until Jiraporn insulted their pride. Neti Koonkleang was one of the peak Demon Slayers in Taisho-era selected to participate and fight against the governments in DTFOT.

### Third Round

Before the third battle, as Jiraporn was struggling to pick Population's countermeasure against Prawit Wongsuwarn, Neti Koonkleang appeared behind her as an young man in 15 years old and volunteered to fight in the third round. At first she was skeptical due to his appearance until Neti demonstrated his dexterity by gracefully catching a falling jug of milk with his sheath without spilling a drop. He then nonchalantly proceeded to drink the milk and eat some discarded pieces of pie from the floor.

Neti explained that Wind Breathing evolution never ended, making his potential young age his golden age. At some point after this, Nawamon performed Völundr with Neti and turned into his **Nichirin Katana (Wind)**. Neti arrived on a small fishing boat, traversing the oceanic terrain and stopping at the small platform in the middle. Initially after his introduction in the arena, humanity doubted his ability to fight. Among his contemporaries, Titipong Wattanaphan, Thanachot Patmanee, and Kittipong Orantanakit, wondered why Thammachat isn't the one representing population. But when Neti Koonkleang drew out his sword and stilled the water around the arena, the swordmasters, including Thammachat, shed tears and admitted that Neti is unparalleled under the heavens.

For a short time since the start of the match, Neti scanned Prawit and wasn't able to find any way to attack him without being killed.Neti then sat down saying that he didn't want to die, surprising everyone in the audience. After some thought, the swordsman humbly asked Poseidon to demonstrate his technique, in hopes of gathering more information about the sea minister's movements, but Prawit did not even acknowledge Neti's presense.

Despite not seeing any way to survive even the first exchange, Neti decided to attack in order to not embarrass himself in front of other swordsmen, opening with his best move, **Wind Breathing Sixth Form,** **Black Wind Mountain Mist**. The attack missed, only managing to cut off some of Prawit's hair. This angered the minister of the seas, and he started advancing on his opponent, which was so rare that it shocked the gods.

Prawit used **Amphitrite**, but Neti dodged every thrust, because his scanning ability allowed him to predict them, to counter The sea minister then whistled and started adding a little more strength to his attacks. Neti was unable to react in time and reveived a wound on the left side of his abdomen. Prawit then mocked the swordsman, smiling at him derisively.

The governments in the audience erupted in cheers for their representative, but Prawit stared them down, forcing the arena to fall silent. Neti asked why he does not accept support from his fellow governments, to which Prawit replied that supporters are unnecessary to those who have attained perfection.

Neti was disappointed to hear this and called it a pretty sad existence. This remark filled the minister of the seas with tranquil fury, and he attacked Neti with **Chione Tyro Demeter**. Neti continued to learn to evade Prawit's attacks as he observed them and later used **Wind Breathing Third Form:** **Clean Storm Wind Tree** when he found an opening for a counterattack.

Neti then picked up his blade and asked the government if he ever lost himself and trained until the sun rose, or if he ever cried tears of gratitude for those that made him stronger, or if he ever felt love towards his opponent in a fight to the death. Prawit didn't respond. Apologising, he stated that he knew Prawit never felt any of that. Neti said that the sword represents the history and the hearts of all swordsmen, and that he would never lose to someone who never considered the hopes and dreams of others.

Prawit looked at the swordsman dismissively, but as the human finished his speech, Neti's right cheek emitted green light and reformed into **Slayer Mark**, having awaken his own Slayer Mark buffed his speed and endurance halves. Now using the **Wind Breathing First Form:** **Dust Whirlwind Cutter**, Neti offered to continue the fight. Despite the entire audience being amazed at the development, the minister of the seas called Neti a worm, remaining completely unimpressed, and attacked him.

Neti used the techniques of the swordsmen he fought against throughout his life to avoid all of Prawit's attacks and promply counterattack, leaving Prawit covered in wounds. In response, Prawit whistled and smiled, showing Neti that he was only now about to get serious. The minister of the seas continued to increase the speed of his thrusts, inflicting more wounds on the swordsman, as if, in the face of Neti's masterful techniques, Prawit was only interested in turning the battle into one of pure strength. Prawit used **Medusa Alope Demeter**, instantly retaking the initiative.

Overwhelmed by Prawit's assault, Neti started to lose hope, feeling a drowning sensation facing his opponent's inumerable attacks. He then he heard all of his fellow swordsmen chant his name, giving him the motivation to fight back. Neti's Slayer Mark ability evolved further, allowing him to use **Transparent World**. He successfully defended against all of Prawit's attacks and closed the distance with him by using extremely fast footwork.

Neti counterattacked Prawit's thrust with **Wind Breathing Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon**, cutting off the government's right arm, but Prawit still continued to use his broken trident with his other arm until it was immediately also cut off. Having only his teeth left, Prawit furiously bit on his weapon's shaft and tried to stab Neti. Neti leap into the air and finished the combo with a cross slash, the same move that ended his earthly life. Prawit angrily cursed at Kojiro as his torso fell to pieces.

Neti humbly celebrated his first victory in all his existence. After the end of the third match, Neti was about to collapse due to fatigue and blood loss, but Nawamon turned back to normal and caught him.

She then walked out of the arena with him to help him with his wounds.

### Fifth Round

Outside of the arena, Napart Homhuan, and Blake Joel took Thaksin Shinawatra's side and faced off against Chulalongkorn and the Seven Spokesmen. Neti joined them as well, not being fond of sitting in one place for too long. The conflict was cut short when Prayut and Bhumibol arrived at the scene. Neti then joined his fellow Planet Zoo Community Leaders and headed to their room to watch the fifth fight.

### Sixth Round

Neti was present at Thaksin's introduction in the sixth round. When Thaksin spoke through the gjallarhorn to the audience and bluntly told them he is fighting for populations, the entire audience, including Neti, were shocked by the declaration. Neti was then accompanied by nawamon, as they both anxiously watch the match between Thaksin Shinawatra and Sira Jenjaka, who was later absorbed into Pahol.

Neti was later seen celebrating Thaksin's victory with Nawamon.

### Seventh Round

Neti watched the beginning of the seventh round alongside Nawamon Koonkleang, Blake Joel and Napart Homhuan in Napart's room.
