chapter 1
1 – wait 100 years.
cool—
He vomited the blood that surged from the inside.
Everything is difficult and heavy. However, he stood on his own two legs. Because I had to remember this scene now.
oh
Everything that could have been fine was no longer fine. It was a story that applied to both living and non-living things.
Everything is destroyed, everything is dead.
Ared, one of the huge islands of the Pandemonium.
There was no such thing as life on this island, which had been fine until only three days ago.
I looked at the pool of blood that covered the floor.
“…pathetic.”
Both wings were torn to shreds, and even his right arm was missing. One eye doesn’t open at all.
Even standing on two legs, he looked shabby.
However, he had no time to scold his own shabbiness. There was no more time to feel the pain.
“Why did you do that?”
I ask the henchmen who have fallen on the floor.
Why the hell did you trust me until the end?
No answer came back. Cooling down, they did not return any answer to me.
The devil’s crows began to dig into their bodies, but I couldn’t take any action.
died without missing a single one.
Those who made a name for themselves by praising the sin of pride never come back.
As always, the sky in the Demon Realm was red.
Now the color of the ground and the color of the sky were not so different. I just stared at this world soaked in blood.
“Why the hell did you do that?”
I ask one more time even though I know the answer will not come back.
It was my only fight.
Not too noble, not too great.
It was just a fight to fulfill my mission. Demons will denigrate their deaths and laugh at them.
as I clearly knew
You who know that fact better than anyone else, why did you do this for me until the end?
I slowly turned my head.
I dared to look at him who was wet with blood.
A person I challenged. The master of the demon realm who has the seven deadly sins under his command. His name may be innumerable, but in the end he exists.
Demon King Regalus.
This miserable landscape is just a little fun for him. The figure of him sitting there, piled up like a mountain of corpses, was definitely the master of the demon realm.
Well, that expression looking down at me with a happy expression makes me feel emotions I’ve never experienced before.
After a long silent confrontation, he walked in front of me.
“Jekiel.”
A lofty Vampire Lord. One of the seven deadly sins is pride. My name flows from his mouth.
“It was fun. It was really fun. No one has made me as happy as this lately.”
“……Yes.”
“It’s something to be proud of. Why did I let you live? It’s because it’s not common to have a guy who entertained me as much as this. In the name of this Regalus, I acknowledge that you have been good.”
After that he looked around.
“What… I will be very sorry.”
put your hand on my shoulder
“Wouldn’t it be fine to make another henchman?”
It was a casually spoken word, but it was a voice that thundered in my ear.
The fire in my heart became a big fire. Unknowingly, I turned my head and glared at him as if to kill me.
Then, golden eyes that burned like the sun were already staring at me.
“You made me happy, so it’s a reward as promised.”
he told me so
“Do you want my strength, or do you want to live longer? nope, anything is good Whatever you say, I will definitely listen.”
“…whatever.”
“Yes, it is possible to exchange your fiancé’s heart for a new one. You just speak.”
What a terrible fight it was.
To end it, I rummaged in my arms with my free left arm. Regalus’ golden eyes twinkled as if he was expecting my answer.
Took.
I threw a paper bag on the floor.
It was just for this.
I wanted to prevent the destruction of this world where the game is set. I came all the way here with just one heart.
I know.
A happy ending is not guaranteed with that mind alone. That the process to reach it would be ridiculously difficult and might be accompanied by my own death.
Also, the moment I die, even the last person who will pray for my aides disappears. It would literally be a futile death.
You know that better than anyone. Even though I know you better than anyone.
‘I want to try.’
I don’t want to see a bad ending in which the world perishes at the hands of the demon king.
If a happy ending that protects the happiness of humans is not enough, I want to see a true ending where the demon world and the human world live in harmony.
No, I will have to see it.
To wish this world a happy ending.
… It was a mindset that would not change even after a hundred years had passed since I was possessed by the demon’s body.
would it have been different
If I had possessed a human body from the start, I wouldn’t have gone through even this process.
It’s useless. You have to worry about that now.
Just doing my best from now on, that’s what I’m going to do.
I squeezed my lungs for just one word.
“I will quit now.”
One of the seven deadly sins is pride.
Vampire Lord Zekiel.
I was the first demon to quit being an executive on my own.
* * *
“ha.”
The human world he visited after a long time was quite familiar. He let out a deep sigh, perhaps worried or relieved, perhaps a mixture of the two.
When I first became possessed by this body, I naturally tried to fulfill my role as a vampire lord.
There must be a reason for being possessed by this body.
In the midst of this, I have to think of this guy’s mission as if it were my own, so I can live naturally. I thought so.
However, it was an impossible story even if he lived that way for a hundred years. The memories of her previous life as a human are still vivid.
In the end, in order not to be expelled from the demon realm, and to quit being an executive on my own, I spent a hundred years in the demon realm.
If you ask me if I had to go that far, well, I had to go that far.
Rather than a bad ending in which the whole world perishes, I wanted a true ending. That’s it.
As for the level of difficulty, of course, the true ending is so difficult that it can’t be compared, but wouldn’t it be better to work hard to get the true ending than to sit comfortably and intuit a bad ending?
This world is set in the Academy Games.
An academy game with a common story in which the main character protects the world from the invasion of the devil.
However, while the story is common, the difficulty is not common.
This game, which is famous for its extreme difficulty, starts by killing the main character as soon as the main scenario starts.
Even after that, death flags are lining up. Kill, kill, kill again… kill to the end
I don’t know if only the main character is killed, but even the named NPCs and heroines who play a decisive role have quite a lot of death flags.
In fact, it is safe to say that they are forcing a bad ending.
I also only have memories of seeing the bad ending when playing over the monitor.
‘However, it will never fail.’
My henchmen believed in the pitiful mission that must have sounded like nonsense to the end.
Usually, at least once, he didn’t even ask why he would ask, and he just followed me and fought. what am i
So far, their deaths are just dog deaths. No one, no one won.
‘So, I have to survive and succeed.’
We will survive to honor their souls and let this world face its true ending.
It is the only way to turn their fight into victory and protect this world.
The human world that came into view was bittersweet.
Anity.
The sharp roofs are lined up, creating an antique atmosphere. It seemed to boast that it was a city that had an academy for anyone to see.
Also, the vitality of the students walking around in their academy uniforms. Several female students pass in front of me and chatter.
“I heard that the Rahal Academy entrance ceremony is less than a week away?”
“right. But the line at the academy entrance was long today too?”
“Oh, they said they were hiring new professors today. It’s an interview.”
“Ugh! Seeing so many people gathered around me makes me nervous!”
Is it finally starting?
The main scenario of this world begins with the entrance ceremony of Rahal Academy.
It was really long. I waited a hundred years just to stand on this starting line.
‘I will not let the main characters and heroines die.’
In this world that forced a bad ending, he was determined to resist.
They are, above all else, flowers that will bloom beautifully. My small role is to help them survive the winter.
Fortunately, the turning points related to the main scenario were always summarized and closely examined. I repeated it countless times and made every effort to ensure that even the slightest error did not occur.
This is no longer a game, it is reality. The reality is that once you get screwed, you can’t try again.
So let’s do our best. grinning this
‘I’ll have to step out soon.’
[Interview waiting number 82]
It was written on the paper in his hand.
