As Rimuru sat in the studio, facing the brightly lit cameras, the interview began. He was the trending topic of the hour, thanks to the viral video of his mysterious black flames and his supposed "demon lord" status. The news channel had dedicated a whole segment to "Rimuru Tempest: The Mysterious Chunnibyou or Real-Life Superhuman?"
The anchor, a sharp-eyed woman named Lisa, leaned forward in her chair, microphone poised. “So, Rimuru, the internet has been going wild over your claims of having magical powers. You've become quite the sensation. Can you tell us a little more about your... ‘abilities’?”
Rimuru flashed his usual confident grin, looking completely at ease despite the media frenzy surrounding him. “Well, it’s not something you encounter every day, right? The truth is, I possess immense power, but… at the moment, I’m a little... restrained.”
The audience watching the live broadcast on their phones, laptops, and TVs were glued to his words. Comments were already flooding the livestream, memes flying, and threads being created.
Lisa raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical but playing along. “Restrained, you say? Can you explain that a bit more for us?”
Rimuru leaned back casually, crossing his legs with a dramatic sigh. “You see, my father the Supreme Deity of another realm wasn’t too happy about me escaping from Heaven. He caught wind of my little trip to your world, so he sealed my mana, temporarily blocking my abilities. It’s sort of a divine grounding, you know?”
The crew behind the cameras stifled chuckles, and Lisa barely held back a smile. But Rimuru remained perfectly serious, as if he had just shared some vital piece of classified information.
“So… you’re saying that your father is a god, and he sealed your mana as a form of punishment?” Lisa clarified, trying to maintain her professional composure.
“Precisely,” Rimuru said with a slight nod. “Normally, I’d be able to summon vast storms, manipulate time, or even open portals to other dimensions. But right now, I’m lying low, hiding my aura, so he can’t find me. The seal will break in about 10 days. After that, I’ll be back to full power. Until then, I’m out of mana.”
The internet had a field day.
Comments started rolling in on the livestream:
Doodly gamer- “Bro’s mana bar is at 0%… someone get him a potion! 😂”
timy the boss - “10 days to recharge? Sounds like he’s on a mobile game cooldown.”
Legendary Myth- “His dad grounded him from magic like it’s no big deal. I’m losing it over here.”
Gem worthy of attention- “So Rimuru’s running from his godly dad AND the internet. This guy’s life is wild.”
Black atom- “Imagine being so OP your dad has to seal your powers just to keep you in check. #ParentingGoals”
Cat lover- “Conspiracy theory: Rimuru’s from another dimension where cosplay is a way of life. Change my mind.”
Rimuru continued, enjoying the attention, even if some of it was playful mockery. “I know it sounds outlandish to you mortals sorry, I mean humans but these are the facts. Once the seal lifts, I’ll be able to demonstrate my abilities again, and you’ll all see the truth.”
Lisa chuckled, leaning into the absurdity. “So, we just have to wait ten days, and you’ll be back to casting spells and bending reality?”
“Exactly!” Rimuru said with a dramatic wave of his hand. “Though, to be honest, I’m kind of enjoying this temporary ‘low power mode.’ It’s like a vacation. But once my mana is back, well… let’s just say I’ll be back to doing things that will blow your minds.”
The online community took this statement and ran with it.
The Rony - A photo of Rimuru with the caption: “Mana’s on a 10-day cooldown—don’t @ me till then.”
Jhewna adam- “Me after a bad breakup: Sealing my mana and waiting for my ex to forget I exist.”
Sandal- A poorly Photoshopped image of Rimuru’s face on a video game character with a loading bar underneath: “Mana recharge: 10 days remaining.”
Your dad- “BREAKING: Rimuru banned from Heaven for illegal use of OP powers. Supreme Deity to comment soon.”
Ddc vlogger- “What if the mana seal is actually just his dad turning off the Wi-Fi?”
Lisa, clearly entertained, tried to bring the conversation back to a more serious note. “Rimuru, you’ve captured the imaginations of many people. Some are starting to wonder if you’re a modern-day trickster or perhaps a brilliant performance artist. What do you say to those who think this is all just an elaborate fantasy?”
Rimuru smiled mysteriously. “I say, reality and fantasy are closer than you think. Maybe I’m playing a role, or maybe you’re all witnessing something far beyond what you’ve been taught to believe. When the seal is lifted, we’ll see who’s still laughing.”
The live stream was exploding with more theories and memes by the second:
Alexandra- “What if Rimuru is a time traveler and the ‘seal’ is just him lying low until his future self shows up?”
Battery low- “Forget UFOs, we need the government to investigate this guy’s mana situation.”
iPhone master - “Rimuru’s dad watching this on TV like: ‘Boy, you’re grounded for another month now.’”
Legends of nirvana- “He really said ‘low power mode’ like he’s an iPhone.”
As the interview wound down, Rimuru’s playful yet charismatic demeanor had won over many skeptics, even if they didn’t believe a word of his story. His viral rise as the "Ultimate Chunnibyou" wasn’t showing any signs of slowing down. In fact, his strange charm and outrageous tales were making him even more popular.
And as the video of the interview spread like wildfire online, one thing was clear: Rimuru Tempest might just be the most entertaining mystery the world had ever seen sealed mana and all.
