("What is ...? Is it just a dream ..?")
____________________________________________
That morning, he woke up. His entire mind forced him to assume that his journey in another world was just a dream.
...Reality without form, reality without field....
Is that a dream? Do 17-year-olds generally dream like that? Is this natural for high school students?.
No ...
It wasn't a dream.
It's all reality.
He was bound by punishment for using the power of the [God Particle] skill. No more, and no less. He will experience infinite repetition. He would constantly repeat the same thing. He would constantly repeat the same thing.
Until he manages to find the end of that repetition ...
____________________________________________
"Oh ... Hey, Kuro! Hurry to school, who's gonna find him?".
He was behind her, walking towards her, filled with youthful vigor. His name is Otaka, Nabura Otaka. The Demon King's childhood friend. His personality was very inversely proportional to Kuro. He always bothered Kuro, he bullied me, until at worst he leaked Kuro's personal "male" secrets. Yes, men's private secrets.
"Morning, Otaka. Could you please just reduce your spirit to possess me today?".
The boy greets Otaka who suddenly embraces him.
"Come, Kuro. Early in the morning was lethargic".
The boy fell silent, not replying to the words of his friend.
The sun smiled brightly. Sakura leaves are blown by the morning breeze. The sweet chirping of birds. Vehicles greet each other.
But everyone knows the end.
Yes, all ... except .. the main character.
Kuro doesn't know what's going to happen. Even though he knew it, assuming the incident was just a coincidence or a dream would be much better. Also, as with most dreams, everyone loses 1, 2, or even more memories of the dream.
Just a few minutes later, he experienced the same thing.
He gets hit by a big truck for trying to save a little girl named Otosaka Rin and the girl's beloved doll. All parts of his body were bleeding. Otaka as the friend of the main character also loaned his lap to put Kuro's head on top of it, he did not care about the blood coming out and about his pants. A very painful wound was felt all over the child's body.
...Kuro Isshiki .. second death .. confirmed....

[KRING!]
"G ... ".
On the same day, he woke up. Now, he was trying to stop the alarm that was sounding lazily.
The alarm was reached with his left hand. Without further ado shut it down.
Putting the alarm back into place, he sat on his bed with his feet on the floor of his room. His left head held with his left hand.
("Once again the dream, yes ... What a strange dream").
He muttered and ended with a yawn.
The state of the room did not change. A bookcase containing a collection of comics and novels, an unadorned plain roof. Distinct from the walls decorated with the latest anime posters. A true otaku room.
Novels that are often read by Kuro also have a slightly extreme plot than other novels. He loved reincarnation. Like an om-om who died for some reason and then reincarnated into another world with a liquid form, or a demon king who reincarnated to 4000 years in the future. Something reincarnated like that, he liked it.
("Eh ...? Wait a minute ..")
Kuro muttered, finally coming to a realization.
He took back the alarm with his right hand immediately.
He got it, staring at the alarm he was holding in his right hand.
[ ! ! ! ]
Astounded. One suitable word to describe Kuro's expression after seeing what was on that alarm.
Time shows at 07:00. Wednesday, March 22, 2022.
Yes, the day neither advances nor retreats. Kuro experienced a repeat on the same day. Repetition in an infinite number.
"What the fuck ... is this? What exactly ... happened?".
His eyes widened staring at the alarm, talking about the reality of all this.
"YYYYYYYO!"
He screamed, his voice filling the house.
What do you want from your screams? You want this to be over?
Shouts, regrets, despair, will not change anything.
You will still be punished for breaking the laws of the universe. You will still be punished for violating the law of cause and effect. You will still be punished for breaking the law of reality.
a few minutes later ...
Kuro has now walked towards his school, in a neat uniform. Despite the look on his face, not as neat as his clothes.
He still could not accept the reality of all this. He tried to live today like a normal High School student, although it felt a little difficult. He was still trying to assume that what happened this morning was just a coincidence.
"Oh ... Hey, Kuro! Cepet also went to school, who would you like to see?".
Otaka arrives and immediately embraces Kuro with his right hand. Even so, Kuro did not respond to anything. His empty eyes stared straight ahead as he continued walking. Otaka's presence doesn't bring Kuro's consciousness back. It was like being possessed by something.
"Hm ..? Kuro ..? Hey, Kuro!"
Otaka tries to resuscitate Kuro. His hands waved in front of Kuro's face. Try this method for a start. But as a result, it doesn't work at all.
"Kuro! Oh! What are you?!"
While constantly calling out Kuro's name, the yellow-blonde boy with a slightly taller body shook Kuro's body in order to wake up. The result ... is still unconscious. Kuro's eyes are still empty.
"Oi, Kuro! Stop this!".
Otaka clenched his hands, took a position and punched Kuro in the head. As a result, Kuro was awakened.
"Oh, duh, duh, duh ... Lah, Otaka?".
Kuro tries to endure the pain felt after being hit by a right hand fist from Otaka. He had just realized the existence of Otaka.
""Well, Otaka?" Your eye! I'm Daritadi right next to you. Tried to bother you, but you didn't respond at all!".
Otaka let out all his sense of regret. He failed to bother Kuro this morning.
"Yes, sorry".
Kuro returned to his position as did Otaka. They walked back to school together.
"Keep, what's wrong with you this morning, Kuro? Why can you daydream?".
"No .. nothing".
Otaka asked, Kuro replied. The question and answer cycle is very reasonable if you are curious about something.
"Don't lie to me! You're not even aware of my existence, it means nothing, right? Aren't you!?".
Otaka pulled the collar of Kuro's shirt with both of his hands. The faces of Kuro and Otaka were no more than 7 centimeters.
"Lantas, if I tell you if you'll help me!?".
Otaka was silent for a while about Kuro's question which was thrown in a fairly firm tone.
"I-iya .. of course! Sure, I'll help you".
"What's the doubtful answer?! Tch! Never mind, take off my shirt".
Kuro makes Otaka's hand take off his collar with the help of his two hands. He pulled it over and walked back.
"Oi, Kuro! Waitaminute!".
Otaka who was slightly left behind followed Kuro.
Now, Otaka has been beside Kuro. From the beginning, the vulnerable distance between Otaka left by Kuro was not so far away. For Otaka who has the body and athletic stamina, such a close distance is nothing.
They walked, enjoying the breeze in the spring. A beautiful morning with good weather. Although Kuro had sensed this day three times.
An awkward atmosphere was between them. Otaka who is hesitant about the problem that happened to Kuro and Kuro who are still hesitant to tell the problem of "Infinite Repetition".
They were childhood friends. However, in contrast to other people's childhood friends, they have each of these flaws.
Otaka who can not solve the problem because his brain is only pointy in the sports section and Kuro who always harbors everything himself. Even so, sometimes Kuro would still tell Otaka. However, since Otaka is only good at sports, he cannot give any advice to Kuro. In the end, the matter would be brought to an end by Kuro himself.
"Be ... gini, Otaka ..."
Kuro started the conversation, although the awkward atmosphere was still there. Otaka who realized that was trying to listen to Kuro's words well.
"Do you believe about ... Deja Vu's?".
"Deja Vu ...?".
Kuro's question may not be devoured by logic, but Otaka still thinks about it and tries to answer it.
"Deja Vu, yes ..."
As he continued to walk, Otaka thought about what Kuro was asking by facing the morning sky with his right hand holding his chin.
"Something like "Oh, I think I've been to this place!" or "Eh? looks like this event has happened before" ... like that?".
"Yes, that's how it is".
"Hmm .. I've never felt it, anyway. Maybe, if I felt it, at that moment I'd say I believed".
"What the fuck is your answer? Makes me want to laugh".
Kuro and Otaka talk to each other and end up laughing together. The distance of the school from their current position was not far, a little more they would arrive at the school gate.
Laughing in the morning when going to school with friends is best. They tell me a lot about things. Kuro had even forgotten all the pressure he got this morning. Try to enjoy the morning like a high school student. He smiled with relief, as did Otaka.
Ah .. If only the fate that you have like this, Kuro, then you will definitely get a comfortable life. If only the reality you have had was like this, then you must have been happy. If you had this fate, you would be safe.
But .. in the end, it's all if only.
A little girl on the side of the road tried to cross to the middle of the road to pick up her doll. He looked frightened, anxious and agitated. A person's face cannot lie when pressed. Then-pass the vehicle makes it unable to move forward to reach the doll.
The streets have begun to desolate, vehicles are rarely seen. He ventured to walk into the middle of the street. As a result, the doll managed to return to her deck.
However, one thing that became a problem had arrived.
One large truck measuring about 2 meters closer to him. Instead of running to the outskirts of the road, he fell silent because he was so afraid.
Kuro who sees it runs from Otaka's side, drops his bag and attempts to save the girl.
"Oi, Kuro! Where are you going?!".
Otaka screams, despite being ignored by Kuro.
Afterwards, Otaka understood what Kuro was going to do. His best friend expected to save the little girl who was on the street hugging a doll. A big truck is about to hit the girl, which is why Kuro ran over regardless of the bag he dropped.
Kuro raises his running speed, he wants to save someone's life. However, the truck did not lose its speed from Kuro's running speed.
When he was in a straight line with the girl, without thinking, Kuro immediately crossed to the middle of the road to push the little girl.
Kuro jumps up to be on time while pushing the girl to the sidelines. However, the truck had been by Kuro's side very quickly.
And sure enough, a great accident happened.
"WOW!".
Kuro shouted in pain. Blood was pouring out in every corner of his body. Her diaphragm has moved, as well as some broken bones. He felt it all at the same time.
A pain that really hurts. Pain that can never be imagined. Sickness far more severe than any human civilization has ever seen.
A small conversation between Kuro, Otaka, and a little girl named Otosaka Rin ensues. Kuro who was still feeling the pain held him back and tried to comfort the crying Rin.
("Eh? Wait for. Haven't I experienced this before?").
He murmured in his heart, realizing something.
("Is the thing I've been experiencing actually ... reality ..?").
Yes, all about The Margorieum's universe is real, Kuro. You're the one who insists on seeing it as a dream or an illusion.
("Ah .. will I die again ..?").
His vision slowly faded, causing him to start losing consciousness. The pain that existed due to the injuries on his body was still clearly felt.
The boy, for the third time, closed his eyes.

_____________________________________________
A relentless chain of deaths was experienced by an 18-year-old boy. The endless chain of events was experienced by the black-haired boy. The reality network is experienced by a boy who is not wrong anything.
The boy, now, has suffered from a very drastic mental change. He tried to keep smiling and laughing. He hides everything. If he told anyone, they'd soon forget. The only one who still had that piece of memory was Kuro. Only Kuro is still aware of the series of events before his death.
Kuro awakens on the same day, the same hour, the same sleeping position, but with a much different mental state.
He woke up with the alarm. Perhaps, if that alarm had feelings, he would be heartbroken.
"Aha .. ahaha .. ahahaha ...".
He laughed softly, his face filled with fear, trauma, and anxiety.
"Aha .. ahaha .. ahahaha ...".
He's abnormal.
He's not sane.
He's gone mad.
"Mahaha .. ahahaha ... AHAHAHAHA!".
His laughter grew louder, louder, and in the end the sound managed to load 1 house. Neighbors on the right and left tried to see what happened to Kuro through the windows of their house that directly faced Kuro's house. They found no answers from there. In the end, they closed the window back, locked it, and coated it with curtains.
Kuro had gone crazy, his eyes bulging while laughing. He smashed his bedroom, one room fell apart. The shelves containing the comics had been destroyed with scattered comics, anime posters that had been ripped off by him.
Kuro, his sanity has become like a monster.
The Marchedist ...
"It's interesting to you, Kuro ...".
Gabriel sat on his throne, looking at Kuro from his personal dimension. His views reached Japan and the Margorieum.
"Already I guess, I didn't wrongly choose you to be my story piece. You'll help dispel my boredom with your trip. You're the best, Kuro! AHAHAHA! ... AHAHAHAHA!".
Gabriel smiled wickedly at Kuro who was suffering. He let out a terrible laugh with both hands that were parallel to the stomach and facing upwards.
"In that case, I can't let you, Gabriel".
The voice of a person echoed in that dimension. It made Gabriel stop laughing and look around for who made that sound.
"Who?!".
Gabriel looked back and forth, but found no one. In the Marchedist there was only one.
"You don't need to know who I am ..".
"Well, you're a coward?".
That voice and Gabriel's voice reciprocated, echoing in that vast dimension.
"Coward or whatever it is I don't have a problem. I'll just give you a warning".
"Warning ...?".
Gabriel was confused as to what was really going to happen.
("Tch, pretend like hell, if I can find your form .. then I'll chop it up").
Gabriel clenched his hand and smacked it into his throne, though not too hard.
""And if I could find your form .. then I'd chop it up", hmm. I see, yes".
[ ! ! ! ]
Gabriel was surprised, the voice knew what he was muttering. He feels desperate at this moment.
"Well, whatever it is. Let's just get started".
The voice seemed to be indifferent to the murmur from Gabriel. It looks like he's about to start a conversation.
"Gabriel, I warn you not to interfere with what happened to Kuro Isshiki. If you try to intervene, then I won't hesitate to help Kuro either".
"AHAHAHAHA! Who do you think you are that dares to rule me?".
Gabriel did not hear the order, his attitude was indifferent to the warning. And in the end, he again laughed loosely and asked in a tone aimed at demeaning.
"I think that's enough. Then I'll see you".
The voice slowly disappeared, not answering any questions from Gabriel at all.
"Oi! Answer my question!".
Gabriel returned grumbling. He felt as if he had been humbled to the lowest by the voice.
"Tch, what the hell is that sound!".
Gabriel tried to calm himself down, he should still look graceful as a goddess.
"Well, whatever it is I don't care. After that, I'll play around with my cat".
He smiled back. A terrible smile becomes the hallmark of Gabriel when thinking about something bad or evil.
The room that had fallen apart belonged to Kuro ...
Kuro has finished from his rampage. He became calmer than before. He leaned against the wall of his room, brought his legs closer and hugged them with his hands.
Today, Kuro is not going to school. The trigger of this repetition was probably that moment. When Kuro decides to go to school, on Wednesday, March 22, 2022. Kuro does not think that the cause of this repetition is when he saves Rin, the little girl. Because of it, he tried it repeatedly.
In that infinite number of deaths, Kuro has tried various things, including not helping Rin.
When the truck hits Rin a little more, Kuro tries to pretend to see nothing. Although, he knew it.
The result was a girl named Otosaka Rin was killed by a truck. The injuries suffered were exactly the same as Kuro's injuries. That day, news of the girl who was hit by a truck made the news still warm and was broadcast on local television stations.
The townspeople knew about it, making them a little cautious.
Given everything, Kuro's insanity begins again.
At that moment, Kuro only saw the body of the little girl lying on the street with blood around her. His eyes widened, unable to endure the pain when he saw it all. He ran everywhere screaming. And without realizing it, he was in the middle of the road. An ambulance that will transport Rin's body will arrive, and Kuro will stand in his way.
Yeah, the accident happened again.
The wounds on his body were exactly the same as the previous wounds, including the wounds from Rin.
Kuro remembered all that. Kuro remembered. His mind became tangled. He went back to rage.
"That's enough, Kuro".
The voice of someone made it.
"You've made it through infinite repetition".
That voice is so soft.
The sound came from his subconscious.
The sound felt very clean.
"It's time you went back to the others".
The voice echoed.
"I'm sorry, if this all makes you this way".
Kuro fell silent, as if he had gotten an answer from all of this.
"Conscious, Kuro".
The last sound, the longer it fades. It made Kuro chase after the voice.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Slowly opening his eyes, the roof remained the first visible object.
The brown roof. A different roof than before.
He turned to the left, finding Suthea asleep in a sitting position on a wooden chair.
When he felt that his consciousness was enough to change positions, he tried to take a sitting position.
The sound of the movement made Suthea wake up from her sleep.
"Oh, Kuro!".
Suthea immediately grabbed the head of Kuro who was now in that sitting position. He hugged the head on his chest. What Kuro felt was just a gentleness and tenderness.
Suthea crying. The cry broke because it could not be contained anymore.
"Thank goodness .. Thank goodness you have returned".
Kuro did not want to move from this position, yet he had many questions to Suthea.
"Annu ... Suthea-san, can this be removed first?".
"No!".
Suthea continued to hug Kuro, feeling the warmth of the long-sleeping body.
("When can I calm down? ... Well, whatever. That's fine, it's easy").
a few minutes later ...
Long enough Kuro felt that suppleness from Suthea. In the end, Suthea let go of her embrace and started hearing stories from Kuro.
"And that's how it happened until I came back here".
"Hmm, so you're an ordinary 18-year-old boy and live in a place called "Japan". Then it's dead and then it ends here".
Suthea thought about what Kuro had said.
"Yes, that's it. That's what happened until I was in front of you right now".
Kuro confirmed what Suthea said.
"Wait a minute, yeah. I'll be right back".
Suthea moved from her seat. Stand up and get out of Kuro's room. Kuro who saw that could only smile. His mental state has returned to its original state. However, the pain he had experienced during the accident had actually been etched into his heart and mind. He could not forget how painful the broken bones were, the blood coming out, and such.
Everything that happens is not a dream, everything that happens is not an illusion, everything that happens is not a taboo. It is reality.
He tried to get up from his bed, walking towards the window that directly faced the city of Agrethe, the most beautiful city he had ever met.
Walk slowly, not in a hurry to get to the window. The distance is not too far. And finally, Kuro managed to reach that window.
The afternoon sunlight greeted him, the sun that was orange like it was about to sink it greeted him first.
Seen by him. Agrethe city community activities as usual, very spoil the eyes. Safe, peaceful, comfortable, serene. Real great. Those who are in the market make buying and selling transactions in a fair and clean manner. Some of them had just arrived transporting their wares with something like a wagon. Some more transport some kind of meat to be used as various foods such as meat soup, roast meat, and so on. The aroma created is also no less interesting. Perhaps, anyone who smelled that scent would be tempted by it.
Kuro smiled back to see her. Their peace has returned. To him, Agrethe city was everything. Well, even though Agrethe's interests are still number 2 after Suthea.
"Kuro, it's me, Suthea".
Suthea knocked on Kuro's room door and told him where he was. However, it was not just Suthea who was there.
"Yes, please".
Kuro responded with a soft tone.
When the door was opened, the one that was there was not just Suthea. But also Kuvia, Keena, the 7 Queens of Hell, and the 3 Ancient Dragons.
"Kuroh-sama!!".
"Young-sama!!".
"Kuro Onii-chan!".
"Kuroh-sama!!".
The sound came out of them. They ran from the door to Kuro and immediately hugged him. As a result, Suthea fell because of being crushed by them.
"Oi, I'll go first!".
Suthea shouted, but no one heard them.
Asgerda who was only amazed was still at the door. He offered his hand to help Suthea stand up.
"This, Miss".
"Waa~, Asgerda-san a good person turns out ...".
Suthea's eyes glittered at the kindness of Asgerda. He accepted an offer from Asgerda to help Suthea stand up.
"Kuro-sama! Oh, kuro-sama!".
"Wait, I'm the first one here, let me hug Kuro-sama too!".
"Maou-sama!".
"That's cheating on his name! I want to too!".
The voice was again voiced by the women who were there. They scramble to hug Kuro. Kuro was pulled left and right. In the end, the entirety of them embraced Kuro simultaneously.
Kuro was squeezed by the woman's chest in various directions, making him unable to breathe. Well, Kuro doesn't need oxygen either. He can still live even though oxygen is removed.
"Wait, all of you! I was squeezed by this! Realize a little that your own is big! Except Keena .. hehehe".
Kuro made a distance between himself and all the women there with the hand he stretched. He spoke in a tone that was getting slower, he did not want Keena to hear him.
They were a little sad and disappointed at not being able to hug Kuro.
"Yes! In that case, to welcome Kuro-sama's realization, today we will have a massive party!".
Asgerda enlivened the atmosphere with it. Of course, everything that exists becomes the spirit of returning and agreeing to the invitation from Asgerda. Unknowingly, they had been behind Kuro while hugging him.
This truly complicated and awkward state of affairs was hard to avoid.
