"Ughh, my head hurts... Where the hell am I?" He was confused about his predicant when he woke from his slumber and sees his body reclining on top of a mattress
[You don’t rember...? You fainted after you overwork your body to the bone, guess you’re still naive. Your body may possess a case amount of vigor but you haven’t properly rested when it ca down to your needs. That demon he calls himself, Lucifer took your place and allowed not a single person to visit you. But he did assign you a guard whom he chose was the most suitable and soone he can trust with his all]
"You’re awake, I can’t believe that the mighty Demon King would be brought down not by a blade but by his fatigue. I guess you’re still a child even though you possess the body of a fully grown adult. I suggest you shouldn’t push yourself very often~ Hey! What are you doing?" Silvia was stunned after he tried to leave in his current state and before he could reach the door his vision beca obscure
A single stomp felt like an eternity and with every movent he makes, his head would be filled with irritation. Before he could comprehend his situation, he opens his eyes and sees the very ceiling he once saw. There was not a single thing that change and he was not restrained but the npc he ignored was reading a book and sitting on the edge of his bed
"I suggest that you follow what I have spoken before, you overwork your body and you need to rest until you’re permitted to leave. Having you in such a state leave and experience the harsh energy flowing inside the demonic realm would be fatal. Even a mighty king can succumb to corruption if he can’t handle the power dwelling in this area," Though she says that with absolutely no hunt of her worry, her whole body shakes after the stunt he committed
"That book has no such hidden aning, it’s just a storybook written in the demonic language. I’ve seen your work, and I know you have a knack for reading and fighting at the sa ti. No wonder you’re their tribe leader if you want to hear a story do you want a tale concerning my past? It can be seen as a work of fiction, but you won’t believe , to you im a demon but the real is a human," Though he wasn’t able to uncover her true identity, she had never anticipated the results
Rachel only took this assignnt given to him by Lucifer so not even his team would stay by his side. It was crucial for her plans that all of his teammates were too spread out and protect the nation in his absence. In the many cycles, she’d never seen such a peculiar tiline out of the reach of her knowledge, and that made her wary of their surroundings
"By chance do you an you reincarnated as the devil? Is that what you ant?" She played along and kept her act together and stayed curious yet cold towards his presence
"You could say that... This story that I’ll tell you is the cause of my fall, my loathing, my rage, and my lack of trust in those who would even kneel in my presence. I wasn’t like this before, I was kind, cheerful, and bright like the morning sun, but all that changed when I t her... Rachel Ainsley," She froze upon hearing the ntion of her na and she slowly turns her head and faced his eye
But when they t she never saw anything piercing in her body, not a hint of poison from the air, and the area had no such seal. She beca paranoid upon hearing her na and she faces him who was weirded out by a change in her expression. However, he brushes it off as a reaction of soone who wasn’t able to take his words seriously
’This reaction of hers... Isn’t it a little exaggerated? Sure I spoke sothing weird and unbelievable but dang, I might sound like a psycho at this point... Sigh, fuck it! I already weirded her out, since she’s an npc it doesn’t matter if I share my past or not,’
"You can’t tell this to the rest, okay? In my past life, I was naive and ignorant, I thought I could get by with kindness alone but little did I know that’s all going to change. The day I t Rachel Ainsley who filled the gap between my friend and whos paying rent was solved. She was loud, obnoxious, and sowhat like , her personality that is, and as much as I hate her, she understands ... Rachel or Ains who I call for short felt was interconnected with my life," He goes on and tells her about the mories they made without him knowing his telling this to her ex
"Ains was just like , she was physically challenged and most of our hobbies were the sa. To top it off, she was my best friend’s roommate when they were still in the orphanage. If it wasn’t for the fact she’s related to him, I wouldn’t even dare to learn more about her life. Since her first introduction already made a deep impression on , like who the fuck kicks soone in the nuts when she’s pissed? But little did she know that I’d smack her face in response," He says this whilst Rachel kept on listening to his story
"Ains wasn’t soone who I could find just about anywhere I looked, she wasn’t the type to keep her problems to herself... She could’ve said sothing if our relationship wasn’t working out and yet... Why did she leave ? I’ve poured out my heart and all the things I’ve carried and she disappeared without a single trace... That’s when I changed, I beca cold, unfeeling, and worst of all rageful, but that’s all in the past. I can’t dwell on it and I can’t relive it, so good riddance, hey where are you going?" At the climactic end of his story, he notices Silvia reaching for the only way out of his room
"It’s been a while since you’ve eaten, I’ll fetch you so food so don’t worry about . It won’t take long so please wait for a mont my liege. Since I’ve made you rember such a horrible thing, I best make sure that I’ll take responsibility," She felt empty at that mont yet she perfectly acted her tone as usual even after what she heard
"Don’t worry about that, like I said the past is the past... I should be the one thanking you, it’s hard to talk about this when my life got ruined by a single chick. Do you think it’s kinda la that I turned into a giant whopping shit because of a girl? If the rest knew about this, then they wouldn’t let live without them laughing in front of my face," She nods at his words and close the door, and made her way to fetch him so food
But in her journey, her body shakes uncontrollably and she was unable to hold tightly in her act. She disappeared for anyone to detect her presence and in the dark corners of the palace, she lets out a cry. Tears ca falling from her eyes as she reminisces about that warm smile he made on her exit
’Morris... You bastard! You’re supposed to hate , and yet why...? Even though you sound like you hate till I die, why wasn’t I convinced? Your tone was packed with lies and not even a single hint of bloodlust was felt when you spoke of . Why are you so different from the rest...? In all of the other tilines, you would co to hate and even try to kill , but the current you... Why don’t you hate ?’
She kept on crying whilst she punches the cold hard walls of the palace until she lets all of her emotions free. When she was no longer influenced by his words, she quickly brought back so fruits, and her expression was back to its original form. She dons the identity of a clueless yet powerful npc whilst brushing off any signs of her disappearance
’This regression what exactly is different from the rest...? Everything played out the sa as the rest of the ones I’ve been through, but the only clue I have is their na. From what I can tell his pen na isn’t just for show but a sign of power. In the last cycle, he was called White fla, and before that Devouring Fla, what does their na applies to? But the most pressing issue is the worth of his na, Reborn Fla...? What kind of power will he later awaken? Guess ti will tell, the only thing I could do is to protect him from what’s about to co,’
