The Chosen One's

Infinite Repetition

"You believe?".

Kuro asked Marthania.

Marthania. Think about whether something like this can be done. Even a god, his destiny was governed by ordinary humans. An unusual thing. Things that are beyond logic.

"You have no chance of winning. Right now, here, I'm going to carve the heaviest death ever deep in your heart, mind, even your nickname".

Kuro raised the hand holding the black sword << Chaos La Ghuriazht >>, preparing to swing it at Marthania.

Marthania who saw that could only despair. He could no longer hope for even the slightest hope. Her pride as a goddess had completely vanished before Kuro. He decides to die with a sense of despair in Kuro's hands.

Yet...

[ ! ! ! ]

A thing beats, deep in Kuro's mind.

He who wielded the empty black sword began to lose stability.

("What is this!? What happened to me!?")

Kuro muttered inwardly, trying to figure out what was really happening to him.

His body was getting uncontrollable, he could not resist it. It was as if his body was forced to weaken.

Marthania, the Seven Queens of Hell, as well as Suthea who saw it were astonished. Only a little more victory was in Kuro's hands.

Marthania saw a small hope, trying to open some kind of portal slowly, for the sake of making Kuro and the others unaware of it.

"Kurou!!"

Suthea shouted, running towards Kuro.

Kuro's body almost fell down, but Suthea quickly caught it before it hit.

"Kuro! What is?! What happened to you!?"

The dark sword in the hand fell down due to the weakened body. The sound of the bouncing sword echoed in this universe that had become void.

Kuro's body was laid on Suthea's smooth thigh, aiming for Kuro to be able to rest for this fight.

"I don't know either. This..what exactly?"

Kuro spoke to Suthea stammering, ignorant and unable to know what was happening to her.

("This.. what? Am I going to die again? No, I'll never die.. Also, I don't want to die").

Kuro muttered, his gaze starting to fade. His ears almost lost their function. The entire Hell Queen who had come along anxiously ran, surrounding Kuro and Suthea.

"HUH! YOU LOWLY CREATURE!-"

Marthania spoke in a high tone to all of them. Even so, his voice was restrained due to the blood that came out of his mouth and coughed.

"This time I'll let you live. However, at our next meeting, don't expect you to enjoy the beautiful morning sun!".

Marthania rambled at length, starting to open some sort of portal with her left hand.

"One more thing, I don't need this man anymore".

Before his right foot entered the portal, he pointed his right hand. A black-colored magical energy shot out from his hand with a closing state, as if it was covering something.

[ ! ! ! ]

Sure enough, when the magical energy opened, there was a dead Rivas with a body filled with internal wounds.

Suthea was completely taken aback by what was before her at this moment. The man he loved began to go unconscious, and his father died in a truly terrible state. Suthea glared, not believing everything.

"Thea.nl".

Kuro tries to call out Suthea's name in the usual tone of a semi-conscious human while carrying his right hand towards Suthea's face.

"Yes, I'm here. I'm here, really, Kuro".

Suthea who heard Kuro's voice answered his call. The hand was immediately reached. Hugged Kuro's hand and leaned him in the face.

"Your face looks depressed..".

Kuro smiled as he said that. He felt the warmth of Suthea's face and hands.

"It's okay. I'll.protect you. I'll bear all your burdens..".

Again and again, Kuro opens up hope for Suthea's future. He promised to the Queens of Hell and Suthea.

Of course, Suthea who saw that started to shed tears. He knows, Kuro has really been protecting her - no, Kuro is protecting everyone. Kuro protects Agrethe's citizens. Kuro protects Justice. Kuro protects Suthea.

"Stupid. Kuro is stupid. Though you are the Demon King, the Dark Lord..Why do you want to go this far for us?".

Suthea cried as she said and constantly clasped Kuro's hand.

"Yes, I'm stupid. This is how stupid I was made... I'm stupid.. Because you can't beat the bad stuff.. Sorry, yes".

[ ! ! ! ]

After Kuro spoke stammeringly, something again ticked deep under his mind. As if trying to bring Kuro's consciousness.

"My eyes. I. can't see. Where are you, Suthea?...".

Suthea was again surprised by the sentence uttered by Kuro.

"Eh? I'm here, really. I'm here, Kuro".

Kuro lost his consciousness. His entire senses were starting to malfunction. He could not see, he could not hear, and he could not feel anything.

Whatever Suthea said to him, it became meaningless at all.

("Ah... will I die a second time? Is this the end for me? If so, at least let me see Suthea's smile one last time..")

Kuro muttered. and in the end..

He closed his eyes, his consciousness was gone.

"Yo, Kuro".

A shadowy figure who had come to Kuro's subconscious came back to see him, greeting the awakened Kuro.

Kuro regained his senses, he opened his eyes slowly, trying to get up from his current resting position.

"You.. were you then?".

"really. I was the me at the time".

Kuro took a standing position, trying to ask the shadow.

"Where's this?".

"This is your subconscious. Sorry, for coming in so easily".

Kuro asked about the place. The place is dark, there is only Kuro and that shadow.

"The subconscious? Mine? You know not that some people don't believe anything before there's evidence?".

"Hmm, so, yeah. If you want proof, I'll ask you one thing. Can, right?".

Kuro did not not believe the shadow's words. However, Kuro is a realistic youth. He will believe something if he has proof.

"May, please ask. I'll answer as far as I know".

Kuro said that, the shadow smiled hearing that.

""The world is based on the nickname (Nickname). The nicknames of each entity are in the subconscious of the entity itself" You know very well about that, don't you?".

The shadow asked Kuro that. Kuro really knew what the shadow meant.

Kuro asks a question about Nickname's relationship with this place.

"You're not aware yet? Ah~, you should have known..".

The shadow let out a word in a slightly disappointed tone. Kuro was stunned to see that shadow.

"Look behind you, Kuro".

The shadow told Kuro to look back. Of course, Kuro obeys the shadow's words, though Kuro himself does not know why he obeys the shadow.

[ ! ! ! ]

How shocked Kuro, who was behind him was his Nickname. Nickname is clearly displayed with black and dark writing. [The Daemon Lord, Lord of Darkness], is really behind Kuro.

"Is this evidence enough to convince you?"

The shadow asked Kuro who was staring at his Nickname.

"Yes, maybe with this I can trust you a little. Then, what's up? Why am I here?".

Kuro threw out his question, starting to look for information about everything.

"Come on, don't be so cold to me. I'm just here to help you".

"Helped?".

"Yes, help. And also.. Giving warning".

These two entities asked each other and answered.

"You got [God Particle ], didn't you?".

"Yes, I got it. Then?".

Kuro asked back about [Good Particle] to the shadow. The shadow flew over and slightly moved away from Kuro, trying to explain something.

"This universe, at the middle level of all the dimensions of the universe below it".

"I know".

Kuro held his hands together in front of his chest while answering and listening to what the shadow described.

"Each dimension has a number of universes which, if I can estimate, are infinite. If 1 layer is destroyed, then another layer will be born instead of the previous layer. It works continuously, endlessly, endlessly, and indefinitely. Also, each of them surpasses each other which makes the layer above assume the layer below is just a myth and a joke. ".

The shadow started an elusive conversation.

"That's cool".

Kuro responded with a very short word.

"Your nature is very cold, although I am this kind of person, I also have a heart".

The shadow responded to Kuro's reply with a slightly sad tone.

"Reply continue the explanation!".

Kuro replied to the sad statement from the shadow.

"Yeah.."

The shadow said with a forced tone.

"Then, the [God Particle] itself was one Skill that only the gods possessed. The law makes such statements. However, it seems that you managed to break that law. With [God Particle ], you can determine someone's fate, can read the future, can still use magic even in a completely empty place, and much more".

Long explanation continued, Kuro held his chin with his right hand while thinking about something.

"Then, the whole thing that happened to Marthania, because of the existence of the [God Particle ]?".

Kuro asked, the shadow preparing to answer.

"Yes, that's right. It was all thanks to the [God Particle]. [God Particle] is the one who has brought you fate".

The shadow descended from his flight, walking towards Kuro.

"But, I'm not p-picking".

"I knew. I know everything. You want to say that you're not bound by fate, are you?".

Kuro tried to reply to the statement, although in the end he could not.

"To be true, you are not a creature of destiny. The thread of your destiny has become a void so that you can choose your own way of life. But, ..."

"But? ..."

"But, it causes unlimited repetition. Those of you who disregard the law by using [G.o.d Particle] will also be punished. You will lose all your strength, your magical energy, even you who were once very strong, will become weaker than teenagers in general. The punishment given to you is not the will of anyone. It is the will of nature.".

The shadow gave a statement and punishment that Kuro could not understand. The black-robed young man tried to think of the intent of "Boundless repetition".

Kuro lowered his head, trying to think of one thing.

("Repetition ... without limits? Whatisit? For punishment, I leave it aside first. What is this unlimited repetition? Don't make me-").

[ ! ! ! ]

Mumbling in the heart does not end everything. Instead of getting an answer, his body re-staggered, uncontrollable. His consciousness faded again as he had felt before.

"Oh .. It looks like it's time".

The shadow knows what will happen to Kuro.

While trying to control his body, Kuro held his left head with his left hand as well.

"This ... what? Why do I feel this pain? ..."

"You will repeat everything, from the beginning. You will experience everything again, from the beginning. However, this time ...all your powers will I seal".

"...."

Kuro could not focus himself on answering what the shadow said. His consciousness was almost at the limit.

"Oi, shadow ... at least .. its ... tell ... I'm your name".

Stammering, he tried to ask about identity. With a little awareness, he tried to ask about the name.

The shadow smiled, even though the smile was unclear (because basically, the shape is a shadow).

"My name is *****".

The voice did not reach completely to Kuro. His consciousness was lost before the words were finished.

It all went dark.

***Wednesday, March 22, 2022, Kanagawa Prefecture, Hiratsuka City, Japan.

[KRING!]

The voice tried to wake him up. Heard loud and constantly. It is a very comfortable morning to stay on the bed and sleep.

The room was filled with alarm sounds. He tried to open his eyes, intending to wake up from his sleep.

Slowly, trying to gather all his consciousness.

The first object to be seen is the roof, the roof of the room. The roof is plain white, not decorated.

Turn off the alarm, and wake her own body to sit on the bed.

("That's ... what? Is it just a dream.?")

Yes, that child is Kuro. He repeated everything.
