Chapter 14: The Day the Demon King was Born

Deep within Kudou’s mind, there was a memory of his true nadir, the depths of weakness. It was the day the Demon King was born. Inside the dark forest, the boy was in a stupor. There was a girl in front of him. She’d collapsed on the ground and was horribly wounded. The cut in her waist was fatal, her innards spilling from it. Her blood had long dried up and changed color. There was no point trying to put pressure on the wound.

Even if that wasn’t the case, the boy couldn’t do anything. There was nothing at all. But the girl was different. Even on the verge of death, she’d made it all the way here through the forest and had even thrown herself into battle. Here, she finally ran out of strength.

As a result, the boy survived, and she was dying. Despite being alive, the boy was sure to die not too long after. Having been trampled underfoot, he no longer had the will to live. Her death was meaningless. That thought hurt the boy more than anything else.

“Why...am I...?”

Just then, the girl groaned. It must’ve been painful. It must’ve been heartbreaking. She must’ve felt such burning hatred.

“This world...should just be destroyed.”

The girl cursed the world, and the boy listened. This was how the Demon King was born. They had met before, one fateful day.

To the girl, it was probably a day like any other. However, to the boy, this meeting changed his fate.

“What are you doing?”

The moment a gentle voice struck his ear, he thought he was having a dream. He tasted dirt in his mouth. His tired and weak limbs felt the pain of having taken a beating. Some time had passed since being teleported to another world. The Colony was steadily taking shape. Despite being in a state of emergency after being torn away from a familiar world—or perhaps precisely because of that—there were those who vented their resentment and anxieties against the weak. Unfortunately, this boy had been singled out by one such group.

The true misfortune was that this group included one of the warriors of the exploration team. Many in the exploration team had a strong sense of justice, but there were those who didn’t. For those people, the only thing they had to be careful of when venting their resentment against the weak was keeping their sadistic amusements hidden from the rest of the exploration team. Even if the powerless were to come across what was happening by coincidence, it was difficult for them to warn against such behavior. Events that could sometimes happen in the closed system of a school, combined with the abnormality of the current situation, had driven the boy to the end of his rope.

The world was steeped in darkness. He’d given up. Resisting was absurd. Nobody would ever save him. He crawled his way through miserable and painful days. That was when the girl appeared like a miracle.

“Let me ask again.
