The Devil's Origin

50: Fenrir (NSFW)

<<Oh! I'm detecting a reaction from a Fenrir!>>

Fenrir?

I was busy nibbling on my ice cream but the system's voice sounded so excited so I felt like I had to give a proper response.

<< He already existed since ancient times. He finally returned to this world just now. >>

Ancient times...

<< Fenrir is one of the divine beasts that's why he can traverse between worlds. >>

Ooh... Sounds amazing...

<< Yes. He was originally the first partner I prepared for you but... >>

Hoo.. The candidate for my first partner...?

<< Yes. He was also the first partner of your predecessor.>>

My... predecessor?

This is the first time I ever heard about the Maou before me.

The story piqued my interest so much that I stopped my hand from scooping another spoonful of ice cream.

Hey, system.

I've never heard the story about my predecessor. What kind of person was he?

<< The soul of the previous Maou came from the same world as you. I was the one that brought him here but he was able to get accustomed to this world fairly quickly. >>

Ah, he's just like me.

<< I had 200 years to prepare for his arrival though. He was the first Maou after 200 years of absence. >>

This reminded me of when I first came here the system also said that initially the Maou would have the appearance of a 25-26-year-old and started at LV 50.

<< That's right. Oh, and he also already received enough knowledge of this world so he was able to fit in without any trouble. >>

Oi! This is the first time I ever heard of that! Why didn't I get any initial knowledge like him?!

<< In your case, I didn't have enough time to prepare for your arrival. >>

I... I didn't have the proper initiation process.....

I groaned in dismay, remembering all the painful memories I had.

<< Well... The previous Maou was somehow overly confident. He immediately went to fight the Hero and got killed immediately in return. >>

Eh?! R-really?!

<< Yup. This happened 10 years ago. >>

10 years... W-wait! You mean 10 years ago from now?!

<< That's right. The Hero was only 13 years old I think? I remember he turned the table brilliantly. >>

The current Hero is... Killatur.

He was already that strong when he was 13 years old?! That guy is way too strong!

<< I told you, didn't I? He's the strongest Hero I ever saw. After that assassination attempt, the Hero went on to annihilate all of the demonkind. Hence why, I had to summon you as soon as possible. >>

I-I see... So that's why you didn't have enough time to prepare...

<< If it weren't for that, there's no way a premature Maou like you would be here! >>

The system laughed villainously at that.

I could only groan to myself once again.
