Ch.1 The begining

Hero PoV~~~~

Elena:"I cant do anything as i promised Val and you are blessed by the gods, but know that this was your choice and no one else"

Looking at me with eyes full of hatred, 'what is wrong with this girl...she was supposed to be kidnaped by him'

Elena:"so what is the pathetic excuse my father told you about me being with Val? Kidnap? Rape? Slavery? Or did he said brainwashing which doesnt exist in this world?"

The f...brainwash doesnt exist in this world?

Hero:"doesnt exist? Explain yourself please"

Elena: "brainwashing magic is too dangerous, if it was used it would most likely end in a brainless slave...he is no better than a zombie, so why even bother with that kind of magic, anyways you should take a pick at that memory crystal at the table, you will see the truth with your own eyes and mind, and hopefully the gods will not forsake his life."

Memory crystal i believe the name is self explanatory, but its just a record of the person in question the amount can be from the start of one being aware of their existence. There is no way to modify this item once it is already recorded so its pretty much a legit way of getting the truth, this also works as a lie detector in the human kingdom.

Walking towards the table i can feel a massive pressure coming from above the room we are currently in, i want to go with him, but how can i even face him after stabing him without giving him the benefit of the doubt...'im such a reckless pain in the ass'

I finally reach the table and pick up the crystal, just by infusing a little of our mana we can proceed to revive the data inside and is like living the moment except from the physical damage, sometimes its dangerous due to psychopaths mental states and memories but for most of the time its safe.

I proceed to infuse the crystal and finally now what will be the reason of my current fate...

Demon Lord PoV~~~

11:45a.m. school library

'Well this is kinda unexpected, here i was wasting my time sleeping in the library but now im standing infront of my childhood friend Christine, now i know what kind of thing is this the only problem is that im way too prideful to let her take that step first instead of me, i mean after all i've always beaten her in everything else how can she do this to me'

Christine: "So emmm...like you see...i was...wondering...if you would....emmm...you know...i liked you since middle school...and i want to go out with you...so...um would you?"

'Dammit it all how can you shatter a mans pride confessing first i hate you!!!, of course thats a lie  i cant hate this girl *sigh*'

Valerius: "why..."

Christine: " uh *sob* so thats a no? *sniff*"

Valerius: "no for god sake dont cry i dont mean that, i mean why now, we are only at the half of our school year, there is nothing important, nor critical to confess, this is just a random day where there is nothing but our common routine of school-sports-library-home, you could have done it at the end of the school year to make it more dramatic. Or do it on Valentines day, today is just your common june 15th nothing good nor bad"

Christine: "it's because  Lily said that if i didnt take you quickly someone else would snatch you from me *sob*"

'I see so this girl was being insecure and with a little push from her friends she had no other choice than take action *sigh* to think my plan would be ruined for such a trivial thing'

Valerius: "Chris you should know better than anyone how i am, i may be smart and good at sports but i lack on the way of social community, i suck at making friends and on top of that my looks are average, other than you and Lily i have no other friends"

Christine: "thats only because your selfsteem isnt right, you're a good guy who always think of others first and willing to take the hit for others, if not for you being sleeping most of the time in the library during your free time then you would be totally popular"

'Ugh...that was a critical hit...she knows me too well i cant deny the fact that my selfsteem is low due to my odd attitude during middle school, after all i was engrosed on reading everything i could find...'

Looking at Christine i dont dare to say no to her, those green crystaline eyes are a mortal weapon against me, she maybe small in height but she is still well built those hips and that ass...*ahem* her black hair reaching all the way until  her neck is also beautiful i cant do anything against her after all i will have to admit defeat this time nothing more to do.

Valerius: *sigh*"i also liked you since you were the very first one to get close to me, if not for you i would still be wasting most of my time reading instead of having fun with friends, also i cant realy say no to you when you look at me with those eyes...so the only thing left to say is, i love you"

She was crying again, wait what did i said something wrong? I knew im bad while expressing myself but i thought all i said was good

Valerius: "wait why are you crying, im sorry if i said something wrong"

Christine: "uuuu *sob* no its not that *sniff* im happy that i finally was able to say it, after all this time, i would always get jealous over random things such as you lending you notes to every girl who asked you"

'Uh? So thats why she didnt want to talk to me the whole day? I mean...i dont even know the name of the girls, and everyone asks for them even the boys in our classroom.'

Suddenly she jumped at me and proceed to hug me.

Christine: "im finally happy to be able to monopolize you now ehe"

'Oi monopolize me? Well i guess i cant deny her rights'

Valerius: "so you're going to tell your friends? Just please dont shout it, at least i dont want your fan club harrasing me 24/7 like when we started highschool"

Christine: "un~ i will tell only Lily i wont tell anyone else yet."

Then suddenly our love bubble exploded when the whole place darkened, 'the fuck? We are inside a building and the lights are still on'

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Then the floor began to shake and when i looked down i saw a circle with weird symbols i've never seen before starting to glow, 'this cant be anything good'

Pushing Christine away from me breaking our hug and happy moment, the light of the circle became brighther and the last thing i saw was Christine with a pale face and crying, screaming something i was not able to hear. Then everything became white, i was not able to see anything else, 'was that circle some kind of mechanism? Explosives? Heck even alien technology? Magic? It doesnt matter this looks like im dead? Well  i cant say, but oddly enough i still feel alive'

Then sudden darkness embraced me and i was standing infront of  5 people with red robes and at my feet there was the body of a girl who looked to be 24~y/o or something...but she looked to be unconcious...

Robe guy1: "-----------------------------"

Robe guy2: "---------------------------------------"

It looked like they wanted to tell me something but they were talking in some weird language, then suddenly one came with a ring and attached it to my middle finger.

Robe guy1: "can you understand us now?"

I nodded and then proceed to ask

Valerius: "errr, where am i and am i even alive? Or what happened to me?"

Robe man3: "you are alive, and you are in a world know as Venithas, you come from another world, we just want to borrow your power for the sake of humanity"

Power? Is this one of those 'sent to another world' scenario's like in Christine's light novels?

Valerius: "err i would be willing to help, but i think at least im a common human and nothing extraordinary, also from where we are from we dont have magic so i dont know if i will be useful."

Then i heard as if a gigantic door opened and turning to see what was i see a cliché fat king with a big crown and a scepter in hand.

'Well i really think that the cliché stereotype of fat/ugly/pig king being evil is just that, nothing more than judging a book by its cover'

Walking towards  a chair in the middle of the hall we were standing, the king proceed to sit and look down on all of us.

King: "I'm Albert Estervius Cravender and i welcome you Hero to the Kingdom of Terius the biggest human kingdom and one of the last kingdoms of humanity."

'Last? Is there some kind of all  out war scenario? Demon king? Or just apocalypse? Gods are angered? Mmm well humans through history arent exactly that smart, after all we are greedy creatures who do stupid things for stupid reasons sometimes. For now lets get the info on the circumstances'

Valerius: " im more than willing to help if its in my hands, but can you enlighten me, i heard you said this was one of the last kigndoms?"

King: "indeed young hero it saddens me to tell you that humanity is only left with 3 kingdoms, but i suspect one of the other 2 kingdoms is allied with the demon forces."

'So the problem is the demons uh? I guess it is that kind of scenario, but im no expert in this...Christine would be more fit to be here...wait...What if she was the one to be pulled here? After all i lf we talk about righteousness she wins the prize...my justice isnt exactly the best but im willing to take my place and that is behind the scenes...well i dont think i should keep thinking about whats done is done'

Valerius: "So the settings here is something like this correct me if im wrong, ^the evil Demon King and his army of demons are killing everything in their path to conquer the world^ am i wrong?"

The people in the room were making faces as if they could not believe what they heard.

King: "Are you able to read minds? It is indeed correct young hero, the demon king is using his troops to erradicate us humans and out of our 10 kingdoms only 3 of us are still here. Lucky for us we discovered the summoning ritual that our ancestors used on the last Demonic/Human invasion."

'I see so it is indeed that setting. Well no use in getting more info about that, i should ask if i indeed have any power to help them.'

Valerius: "unfortunately i cant read minds but i have read of similar scenarios in fiction books so i get the gist of it, so now can i get to know i have any power to help you fulfill my role in this world?"

King: "well indeed i like your attitude young hero, you seem smart so i hope you can indeed help us. Bring the power crystal to test his innate power."

After that a tall guy wearing a red armor came inside the room with a diamond like crystal in his hands and came close to me.

Red knight: "please place your hand in this crystal to test you potential"

I proceed as instructed and what happened left me speechless. The crystal began showing black light from inside with some red spots, after that it became green and then nothing.

Everyone on the room had an expression unexplainable, but i got some discomfort from them, something felt wrong from this atmosphere.

King: "Take him to his room, we need to discuss this, young hero feel free to ask for anythong you requiere, the thing revealed in the crystal is an unprecedented fact and we need to investigate this matter beforr advancing"

'Somehow i felt like he was lying but why?' I was guided to a room with considerable space for a whole family to live...well its a castle whats there to not be expected...

'I need to be careful i felt something wrong coming but i cant shake this feeling.' I spot a jar with water on the table and so i proceed to serve me a glass of water, drinking while trying to shake this feeling, unfortunately i cant but i have no other choice than rely on them, after all we are humans. And we must help each other to survive this crisis, like it or not im part of this world at the current time. And so in part of this war i guess?

After that i start feeling dizzy and fall uncouncious...
