Chapter 2 – The Resurrection of the Most Powerful Demon King in History
◇◇◇
A long time has passed since the fall of the Demon King Hyrum.
A remote region located one month by land and two months by ship from the Demon King’s castle.
In a pitch-dark room in the remote region, a white stone lies.
The stone is a regular dodecahedron, and on every side was inscribed the characters of the Divine Era.
It’s summer now. Outside, the sun was shining brightly. However, it was cool inside the room.
The room is a cube of a fairly large size.
The room was so dry that there was no sign of life. It was completely silent.
In this dark and silent room, a white stone suddenly began to glow faintly. The glow became stronger and stronger.
Then, the stone automatically began to form a magic circle.
From the center of the magic circle, a baby was born.
At last, the time has come for the resurrection of the Demon King Hyrum.
◇◇◇
When I awoke, my surroundings were pitch black. I couldn’t see a thing.
So I cast Magic Lamp.
Immediately the surroundings became bright.
“Fumyu“
I was lying on a rock, completely naked.
And my limbs were short. My head was heavy.
“My rincanashunis a susses!”
Even before I lost the battle against the Demon God, I had prepared the reincarnation formula.
I challenged the God with the intention of winning. However, the opponent was a God.
Of course, I had considered the possibility that I might lose.
As a precaution, I had prepared the reincarnation technique.
“nebadalesh……”
There was no one around.
Still, the reason I keep talking to myself is also to clear my confused mind.
After reincarnation, the only things that can be passed on are the soul, the mind, as well as the magic circuits that are closely related to the spirit.
In other words, after reincarnation, the body is completely renewed. Naturally, the brain, which controls thinking, is also renewed.
The mind and soul are in a state of extreme confusion until they are established in the body, including the new brain.
My memories are unclear, and my thoughts are jumbled.
“aldou……”
At the time of my death, I was over 300 years old.
And now I am an infant. My brain before death and my brain now are too different. This adds to the confusion.
And as it is now, I can’t even crawl. If I try hard, I can turn myself over.
At this rate, I will starve to death.
I use growth-enhancing magic. It’s very advanced magic.
However, for me, who was touted as the most powerful in history and was also called the King of Magic, it is no problem.
A magic circle emerges from my fingertips.
At this level, even my confused mind could easily cast this magic spell.
A magic circle envelops my entire body.
As soon as it does, my body immediately starts to grow. And I was attacked by very severe growing pains.
It felt like every bone in my body was broken.
“It hurts so much —”
I stopped growing at my mid-teens. Once the growth stopped, the pain also subsided.
This is because it is easier for the soul to adjust to the body before the growth period is over.
“My name is Hyrum! …No, there’s no one around, and I don’t have to put on airs. I’m Hyrum! Mm. That’ll do.”
Even in a new body, one should identify oneself properly.
The Self-Identification is also a means to tell your soul who you are.
I spoke in a formal tone to show my dignity as a Demon King, but my domain is this way.
“My body feels strange, but… it can’t be helped as I have just reincarnated.”
Saying that, I put on the clothes I had prepared nearby.
This room was created in my previous life as a place for my reincarnation.
I had enchanted and protected it so that no one could enter. I myself prepared the clothes.
“How many years have passed since then? I should have set my reincarnation to ten years after my death, but…”
I had given my trusted assistants instructions on how to govern the country for ten years.
And I had also told them that after ten years, they could do as they pleased.
Reincarnation is a very difficult magic.
No matter how much I’ve been praised as the King of Magic, my success is not guaranteed.
If I don’t return after ten years, it can be assumed that I failed to reincarnate.
My soul thought to have either been caught in the circle of reincarnation and bleached, or annihilated.
“Reincarnation magic is very difficult. I am not sure if I have been reincarnated in exactly ten years.”
It may have taken twelve or more years.
If that were the case, my funeral period would have passed.
There is also the possibility that a new Demon King has ascended to the throne.
In that case, it may be a little troublesome to regain the position of the Demon King.
“However, I doubt a new Demon King would be decided in about two years…”
The demon tribes place the utmost importance on strength.
It is highly likely that the battle for the Demon King’s throne is still ongoing.
I went to the entrance of the room and examined the seal on the room.
“Hmm, the seal does not appear to have been broken.”
It’s a seal I made myself. Not many people can break it.
The seal is so strong that I can’t even tell what is happening outside the room.
“Now… the crucial elapsed time is…”
I examine the seal in more detail. This is to find out how many years have passed since the seal was activated.
“………… don’t tell me, five hundred years have passed.”
I intended to reincarnate in ten years, but fifty times as many years had passed.
“…… I see? Did forcibly changing my race after reincarnation to human cause the technique formula to go awry?”
The Divine Punishment of the Demon God kills demons without question.
Knowing its effect, I tinkered with the formula just before I died.
“Even though too much time has passed, it’s a miracle that I was able to reincarnate safely…”
It was such a risky gamble. Even so, reincarnation magic is extremely difficult.
“No horns, sure enough. It seems that my reincarnation into the human race was successful. Alright.”
In general, demons have horns.
The horns can be used to store magic power and they can also be used as sensory organs to detect magic power.
There is also a theory that the reason why demons are better at magic than humans is because of their horns.
In fact, there have been demons who lost their horns in an accident and were unable to use magic.
Therefore, this theory may not be so far off the mark.
