1 Summoned by the Demon King to defeat the hero (1/2)

The young man Kroki was summoned.

When I woke up, I was surrounded by a horde of monsters.

I honestly don't know what's going on.

I was lying in a wide hall made of stone, with letters written in circles and shapes that glowed faintly on the ground.

When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by many monsters.

Some of them had dog faces, some looked like birds, some had tentacles, some had only big eyes, and a few were dressed like humans, but most of them looked very different from humans.

If it was a movie or something like this, would they be screaming in fear?

But when you actually put yourself in that kind of situation, you don't know what to do and you freeze up.

Has my brain short-circuited at the unbelievable sight?

The monsters only seem to surround you from afar with no signs of approaching.

They just watch from afar.

If they had just come in for a siege, they would have screamed out, as expected.

However, the fact that they are not coming closer allows me to regain a bit of perspective.

Where am I?

My memories of the time before I came here are blurred.

At least it's not my room in Japan, that's for sure.

Why am I here?

Is this a dream: ......?

But the feel of the cold floor tells me that this is not a dream.

If it's not a dream, what is this place, hell?

If so, did I die?

Many thoughts crossed my mind.

'Well done, my Saviour, you have come, my Saviour!

Suddenly a voice comes from overhead at an angle.

The Saviour?　Is this about you?

The voice is clearly being thrown at me.

He turned his head towards the direction the voice came from. The monsters surround me, and there is a gap in the middle of it where there are no monsters.

I feel something in the depths of the darkness.

When I look closely, I see a huge monster there.

Despite the darkness, I could see it clearly for some reason.

The monster was clearly different from the surrounding monsters, and I could sense a powerful force.

Its figure was like a giant pig standing upright. It had huge horns on its head and upside down fangs in its mouth. It blew what looked like black flames from its huge nose.

It wore elegant, jet-black robes, but it couldn't hide the signs of violence that emanated from its body.

This huge monster is approaching towards you.

When it came to me, it bowed and said, ”My name is Modes.

”My name is Modes. ”My name is Modes, the Devil King,” he said. And he is the ruler of the land of Nargol. Lord Savior, may I ask your name?

The monster that calls itself the Demon King turns its face to me.

Ah ...... yes ...... Kuroki ....... It's Kuroki Yukizaki Kuroki ......

The Demon King's power overwhelms me and I answer stupidly and honestly.

''Oh, you call me Kuroki-dono! Please, Mister Kroki. Please save this Modes!

Modes bows even more to himself.

The giant monster that could easily kill you is bowing to you.

It's more and more incomprehensible.

'Um, excuse me ......, I don't really understand what you mean ......, why do you need your own help?'

I asked myself fearfully.

'Oh, yes, ....... You wouldn't understand why they would summon you out of the blue and ask you to help them, would you?

Modes raises his head and turns his head away slightly to begin his explanation.

'In fact, as of right now, Nargol, which is ruled by Modes, is undergoing an invasion.

Invasion?

Yes, it's an invasion. The goddess of Elyos, Raina, summoned me from the other world by a hero ....... Not content with just banishing me from the land of Elyos, she wanted to take my treasure as well. ......

Modes has a look of sorrow on his face.

Then he looks at himself again and smiles wryly.

''I would like Lord Kuroki to fight that brave man.

Even the brave ones are ....... It's a word I've only heard in games and comics.

'Are you brave? ......'

'Yes, a brave man. The brave men and heroes of this world are no match for this Modes. That's why Raina summoned a brave man from the land of the other world.

When I hear Modes speak, I wonder what the hell is going on.

A brave man from another world, it's like a fantasy novel I read a long time ago.
