The Love Story Of A Self-Proclaimed Mob Character, A Young Man Who Has Been Doted On By The Story's Perfectly Beautiful Main Heroine - Chapter 0
Prologue
TL: lime
ED: Spynine01
Facts are stranger than fiction.
Looking back on my life over the past few years, I’ve been confronted with a number of events that make me think that this may indeed be true.
Unlike novels, in reality there are hundreds of millions of choices, and even if you predict the future, it doesn’t mean that it will come true. Even if the people living in this world take one or two different actions, the outcome can change drastically. There is no such thing as a predetermined development from the very beginning.
As I walked down the long corridor, I asked myself.
Was this the right thing to do, or was it the wrong thing to do?
As I heard the sound of the black armor with its evil magic touching each other, I wondered if the choice I had made was really the right one. It had been a very, very long road. I had been allowed to live only in the shadows, and I had walked in such a way that I could not fall off it’s predetermined path. I had given up on myself, thinking that I was an unnecessary element that no one would ever love, that no light would ever shine on me. I had planned to live in the shadows until a girl took me under her wing, but everything changed when I became one of the main characters.
The weight of being needed.
The pain of walking ahead of others.
The pressure of the expectations of those around me.
After being disappointed with everything I had in the past, I’m finally here.
Leaving the past behind, I stepped onto a new path, bearing the contradiction of living in the shadows and still being expected by many.
I opened the large door at the end of the corridor.
Inside, several powerful people had already gathered and were sitting around a round table.
When they saw that I had arrived, they all stood up and knelt down on the floor.
“We have been expecting you, my Lord. The preparations are already in place.”
A man dressed in a tailcoat announced.
He was one of those who needed me, and he’s not the only one.
I’m also needed by the other four people in this place.
They don’t seem to mind that they bow to me, they seem to welcome it. It is an attitude of wanting to be acknowledged by beings much higher than themselves.
All of them here are trying to fulfill their mission as apostles. It is to be recognized by their masters, in order to prove their loyalty.
“Well, thank you for your time, then let’s begin.”
He sat down on a prominent seat that must have been carefully polished in every corner.
The five apostles followed suit and took their seats.
The man in a tailcoat is the facilitator, so he has the right to speak first before anyone else. As he stood up again, holding the documents in his hand, he looked around the round table and opened his mouth.
“I would like to start the meeting on the future policy. Before that———”
The man smiled at me with a smile that seemed to make me truly happy.
“Thank you, Lord Helios, for taking your place as our sovereign. We will all do our best to live up to your expectations.”
———The Demon King.
I have mixed feelings about this, but if I can be recognized as a king, I don’t feel bad. It’s a good price to pay for the power I’ve acquired.
I’ve already killed and abandoned the woman I love and the people I trust.
I’ve accepted the dawn of a new life.
My new mission is to fulfill my duty as the worst of the worst, the one who leads the world into chaos.
———This is the story of how I became the Demon King Helios.
[ED: Heyo, Spy here. We’ve picked up this brand new series cause it seems interesting. Now what happens in the prologues and the remaining chapters don’t seem connected to each other yet but I assume we’ll get there over time. The chapters of these series are pretty short so I just think you can expect consistent updates but yeah… In any case, thank you for reading this series, and I hope you enjoy reading the future chapters as well.]
