It contained an infinite darkness.
No matter how far one walked, there would be no end.
No matter how long one waits, there will be no dawn.
There was only one place, where a beam of light shone.
Thrones that float in the darkness──Only there.
A black blob that was in the shape of a person was sitting on that throne. It had glowing red eyes, they confirmed that it was not just darkness or some kind of shadow.
And again, it's not his original form.
But, that doesn't mean he has the original form. Being like this was only because he felt this form was suitable when relinquishing his rights and responsibilities. That'sthat's all.
The creature that came down from his throne, even for his name .... It was something called “Dewa Devil” he did not have a specific name.
Demon God.
The culmination of all demons.
The creator of all demons.
The enemy is all good.
Enemy of all evil.
Tolerating all good.
Tolerating all crime.
One who can affirm all contradictions.
One who can transcend all logic.
In this place where the past and future merged together, the Demon God danced happily.
“Ahaha .... AHAHAH, HAHAHA!”
A smiling face that perfectly matched the shape of the little girl.
Full of sweet sounds that fit the shape of the little girl.
He kept on dancing.
[tan, tan] He walked with light steps.
“The best, really the best! You're the best, Varvatos!”
His manner was wrapped in a sweet taste that would make all who saw him smile, and full of madness that could make all who saw him crumble, the Demon God danced.
“I didn't think that you would create a Hero! It was a Hero, something that could not even happen….Fufufu, you are a child who does the absurd!”
Being a Demon King, Varvatos has the power to create Monsters. However, the creation of the Hero goes beyond the scope of that action.
A hero is something beyond normal limits.
They are not born naturally, and will always come up with some sort of reason as the cause.
Either it's some sort of mutation, or it might be some kind of element from another world. There must always be a trigger.
Containing elements of creatures from other worlds, Varvatos only has “key”. However, he was unable to create a Hero with just that.
“Can't be trusted, it's unbelievable! Thinking that he would move my heart! Uhhh! I reflexively lend you my strength!”
Smilingly.
He's the one who scoffed.
The Demon God laughed.
The steps of the Demon God resounded in the room without a sound. The sound bounced like an echo, even though there was no wall there.
“But did you know, Varvatos. That stupid goddess Remfilia, unlike me, she won't be gentle, you know?”
The Demon God danced a dance that had no definite beginning or end. But he's still having fun about it.
“Fufu ...... Ahh, it's so fun. No, this exceeded my expectations! I wonder how long it's been since I've had such fun like this?”
No one answered those words. Everything lost its meaning, inside this space.
In that infinite blackness. Demon God, he looked to a place that was not here.
It's a very far place.
That's a time not now.
What those eyes see, is a single young man living in a world that was once Varvatos lived──Oozora Yuuki.
_____
In a dazzling place, Oozora Yuuki opened her eyes.
He recalls, if he rushes to the front of a truck to try to save a girl from a collision.
The memories after that were uncertain, but he was relieved when it seemed like he was still alive.
“No, you are dead.”
That said to Yuuki it was a mysterious voice that would lighten the burden of all who heard it.
Maybe because of that. Yuuki accepted the fact that he had died without any discomfort and doubt in his heart.
“So... So I'm dead..” he replied.
“Ya, however ...... The brilliance of your life ...... That beauty, I know of it.”
“It was not a meaningless death,” so said the voice.
The owner of the voice gently touched the head of Yuuki, who was sitting like she was in a gym class.
She had beautiful golden hair and eyes that were as blue as the deep sea. Covering her magnificent body was a silver dress that emitted a light of purity.
A woman who expresses a smile that seems like it is the embodiment of all the love in the world──She is the Goddess who watches over the World of Remphilia.
The Guardian God Philia.
The Goddess called like that gave a single proposal to Yuuki.
“Do you want to try living a new life in this world?”
It was a contract for reincarnation. Something that happens in a novel.
It was a protection ceremony for the sake of giving birth to a new Hero in Remfilia.
“...” Yuuki replied, that voice was only heard by the goddess.
Goddess Philia nodded at the reply spoken from Yuuki's mouth.
_______
It's a thing that happens where there's not here.
And time is not from here.
While no one realized that the Demon God was peering into that scene from the past world.
“Fufu ...... Hey, hey, Varvatos! It seems the Human-party Hero was almost born, you know? What are you going to do ahead, I wonder what are you going to do!?”
The Demon God dances.
He knew that his voice would not reach Varvatos. However, he had no intention of worrying about it.
The Demon God kept dancing.
With a smile full of excitement, like the smile of a little boy who eagerly awaits the continuation of his picture book.
“Ah, wait a minute?”
Suddenly, the Demon God stopped dancing.
He placed his index finger on his chin, and displayed a beautiful contemplating behavior.
“In hindsight, there should be no reason for him to search in the Black Continent ...”.
With [U ~ n], the Demon God showed his appearance worrying about something.
That's because I did nothing but help with the Hero problem.
“Yeah, whatever. As much as this will be able to be a material worth watching.”
When he said that and convinced himself, the Demon God snapped his finger.
As for what happened with that, only the Demon God knows.
