Volume 1 Prologue (1/2)
I woke up.
A candle illuminates the dimly lit stone room.
When I look down, there is a magic formation shining with a bluish-white light.
「Where am I? Where is this place?」
I straighten up, and look around and survey my surroundings restlessly.
I haven’t seen a room like this before.
For what reason am I in a place like this……
No, in the first place.
「Who the heck am I?」
I mutter to myself as I can’t remember anything.
I don’t even know my name.
I’m at my wit’s end so I desperately try to dig up my memories. However, I can’t remember anything at all.
I’m uneasy. I’m anxious; I can’t stand it.
At such a time, I hear a high-pitched rhythmic sound far away.
When I focus my attention towards the sound, there was a woman there.
She was an exceptional beauty. Brown skin, white hair. And, wolf’s ears and tail.
There’s not only beauty but also dreadfulness. I see a soul that’s extremely frozen, an overwhelming presence.
「Finally, you were born. I got tired of waiting.」
They were short words. However, there was joy in those words. There was resignation. There was envy.
Every possible emotion was squeezed out in those words.
I open my mouth while being fascinated with her.
「Tell me, who are you? Where is this place? Who the hell am I? 」
Upon hearing my question, the beautiful wolf woman weakly smiles.
And then, she begins to talk.
「I am the【Beast]Demon King, Marchosias. Because you are special, you may call me March.」
「March……、March, do you know who I am?」
「Of course, I know. You are a newly born demon king. You’re a demon king just like me.」
March’s shadow expands and from there, a blue wolf appeared.
It jumps out from her shadow and leaps this way.
「Rank D Demon, Garm. It’s a cruel demon who kills ordinary humans in the blink of an eye with its bite. Now, what will you do?」
I open my eyes wide.
The blue wolf opens its mouth widely. Naturally, I decided to run away.
I want to escape, however, my foot trembles and doesn’t move.
The blue wolf is steadily shortening the distance.
「Hiii–」
I roll to avoid the charge of the blue wolf just about.
The body of the blue wolf passed before my eyes.
Just before it passed, I hear a shrill sound. It’s the sound of teeth striking against teeth. If I didn’t avoid it, those sharp teeth would pierce my flesh.
