1. Let's start by the end, I was rejected with a single word- 'no'.

I the right arm of the demon lord Seth a reincarnated person, was currently drawing circles in the dust.

" She said no... it's over. I wanna die."

How many times have I been turned down in this life and the previous one ? I don't even have enough fingers to count.

"Umm... excuse me..."

Next to me was a flustered priestress named Julia.

"...hahaha..."

I couldn't help but laugh at how pitiful I was.

" excuse me do you feel okay?... wait a second what am I doing he's an enemy!"

She jumped back and made a battle stance, I thought she was cheering me up, she's kind even to her enemies, she's really sweet.

If I had been human would the result have been different I wonder ? I hope I'll be reborn as a human next time.

She launched a master grade magic called pillar of heaven, even with all my cheat abilities I'll die if I don't dodge.

"Please let me be reborn as a human next time."

I closed my eyes and waited for the end.

...

.....

......?

No matter how much time I waited, the impact never came so I opened my eyes

The magic she used was gone did she cancel it?

But when you do that it puts a burden on your body.

"Haaah...haah" I looked towards her to see she was on her knees and panting.

"Why didn't you resist? After a month of constant fighting I know you could've dodged or blocked it."

The answer was simple

"Since you turned me down I have no reason to live anymore."

"Don't play with me!"

Ah, she's angry, even angry she's cute.

"But it's true, I never left this castle you know? If I did I would've to attack village for no reason, since I didn't want to do that I never left." I explained to her my situation.

After all I am still human inside so killing other people was something I didn’t want to do.

"I've never met a demon like you. Other demons treats human like trash."

"I'm originally human you know?"

"What? A magic to turn human into demons exist?" Ah she misunderstood my statement

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

" There's no magic like that, I was human in a previous life."

She stared at me coldly, I could tell what she was thinking 'what the hell is this guy talking about?'

"What? It's true y'know? I died saving kids from a fire!"

I know she wouldn’t believe me but I still tried to convince her.

"I don’t believe you, but let's say it's true, why did you allied yourself with the demon lord? You could've just left or even help us."

"I thought about it but a demon helping humans fighting against the demon lord? Who would believe that."

Would a group of justice freak really accept a demon in their group, I doubt it.

She understood what I wanted to say but kept quiet about it.

"Why didn't you take care of the demon lord yourself then?" A very good question

"If I killed him, there would've been preety much a hundred percent chance of becoming the demon lord, not for me."

And sooner or later Demons and humans alike would’ve tried to kill me to take my place, too troublesome

"When I say I guard this room it's more like I am a shut-in, going outside means killing and I don't want to."

Then the hero party appeared.

"I was gonna let you guys defeat me, but My old habit came out and I ended up beating you."

Very badly too.

" I figured if I left things like that you would never save the world so I send you guys back into a nearby village, but then I fell in love with you at first sight."

"I...understand."

"I watched you for the whole month before finally confessing today."

Sadly I was rejected.

"your friends will beat the demon lord, I'll lose my home and you turned me down. I have no reason to live anymore."

An uncomfortable silence settled himself, before she spoke again.

"It's a waste, you are truly strong, so strong that our parties was unable to beat you and  you have so much power that you can easely disguise yourself as a human right? So it's not like you'll be chased around."

What’s with this turn of events?

She extended her hand towards me

"Come with me... to the outside world."

Seems like my life as a shut-in finally ended.
