--Twilight: Earth--

Former Maou

Modern Earth, 20XX

I was standing atop a landmass, too small to be called a hill, in the middle of 'I don’t even know where'.

This must be a complete foreign land. First I must know if that little shit of a God granted me an ability on secret.

I tried to cast my old magic spells – nothing.

I tried to cast any new spells, checked my affinity with elements – nothing

Tried punching the ground for super strength – my fist just hurt

Tried psychic and esp – almost but not really.

Talking to animals – almost got eaten by a huge brown mammal

Tried eating grass – wait I don’t even have a tail!

The next thing I knew I inhaled a lot of air and then screamed my lungs out:

“FUUUUUUUCCCCKK!!!”

After letting out a loud one I completely lost all energy, including my will. The 'Irresponsible God' really made me a perfectly normal human.

I downed my head to the ground, and started weeping.

The memory of my parting with the Hero still laid fresh on my memory. Parting by death. A memory like that left me so bitter I could only bite my lips until it bleed. It was a memory of a one-sided love that never went to fruition because of my desire to end the long running quarrel between the humans and the demon race. I was too naïve.

God was right. Even though he acted so irresponsible on my case, he was right all along.

Tell me, when those feelings even started. That’s cheating. A real Maou don’t show a mild calming smile like that. Please don’t tell me you gave up your resolve for this futile plans on ending the human-demon war. Tell me, Fredericus Corralton Spence de Augustus.

It was a memory of when she embraced me, crying, letting me feel her warmth for the very first time, and letting me know that she finally accepted who I am. And finally called my name.

Insight* really is a terrifying anility, yes. It was right after our first encounter. I believe it was even before when you were announced of your calling as a hero

I loved you back when you were still training.

I loved you back when you graduated and were tasked of slaying my own kin

I still loved you back when I surrendered this one-sided feelings for my ambition

I still loved you even when I surrendered my life and let you take mine.

...

I started loving you way back when I was a kid and lost on a flower garden and you helped me escaped my human pursuers.

Yes, from the very start, I—

I was kneeling. My vision glot blurry as I look down. I could not contain my shit tears. The slightest thought of not seeing her again stung me to the very deep of my heart.

How could I refill this emptiness?

How could I save myself from this helplessness?

How could I… forget?

I finally stood up and looked at the moon shining bright. Ah, it was so beautiful. It was a white full moon with few visible craters from where I stand. Mytherion had three, supposed to have three. Two of them collided due to the selfishness and mistake of the 2 warring factions way way back. But let’s not talk about that anymore, I enjoyed the scenery.

…

…

“Ah, let’s see how I will manage. It seems like I was summoned here as a perfectly normal human.”

….

“I wonder if they have a writing profession here.”
