Chapter 1- What kind of hero thinks like this?

My name is Kuromaru Ryuuji. It’s an unusual name. Kuro means black and Ryuuji means dragon. Black dragon, cool eh? My father wanted me to be strong like dragon but the black side sure is stronger.

I’m a gloomy person. Not praising myself but I think I live up to my name. Yeah, I’m black. To be precise, my life is just like a shadow. In class no one notices my presence. I went from kindergarten to high school without friends. I wasn’t even worth mentioning; no one at school ever talks to me. Amazing right? I think I’m a natural born ninja.

Every day I take my daily dose of nutrients by reading light novels. My preferences are strictly limited to special category and my standards are high. Ecchi. If someone found out I might be labeled as a pervert but as a natural born ninja, nobody will ever notice.

After finishing high school I don’t even think going to college would be necessary. I can stop going out from the house and at the age of 18 I would proudly say that I’m a NEET. Eeh, proudly? Yeah of course, nothing wrong with that.

Living as a NEET is wonderful. I can read as many light novels as I want. I have internet in my room, I don’t need anything else. Ooh what a paradise…

….

“Get out of here you useless person. You don’t go to college, neither do you have a part time job. Someone with no future like you is not family!”

Just like that, my heavenly world was ruined in one month and now I’m in a park with a small bag full of light novels. This collection of mine is even more important than clothes and other daily necessities.

I wandered around aimlessly until I stopped at a crossroad with a cliché scene. A young boy is crossing the street. On the other side I see a truck coming in high speed and the driver face is in panic.

I have read this scene thousands of times in light novels and based on my knowledge there’s two possible outcomes.

The first is, I go save that child, get hit by the truck and die. After I die I will see a self-proclaimed God that will talk about karma, bla bla bla, and I will be reincarnated in a new world with lots of power. Maybe I can be like Ru*i from Mush*ku, who was born with magic power and enjoyed a harem. Hehehe…

The second: I go save that child and manage to survive. The child parents then will give me some compensation. If I’m lucky maybe I can get money to survive for a month.

But I believe in the third possibility: I go save that child, get hit by the truck and die. And die. And die. And never wake up again. In other words, permanent death. At least I know how to tell the difference between real life and fantasy. The first option have zero possibilities and the second requires lots of luck and physical strength. My luck is not that bad but since I’m always in the go home club my physical strength is at the level of grade schooler.

Yep.. So here I am. Watching the spectacular scene in front of me. A boy was about to get hit by a truck.

Yes, just watching..

….

Seriously… Just watching.

Erm.. I already told that I’m just watching right?

Suddenly i see a faint glow underneath me as I turn my eyes away from the boy.

Impossible…

A weird circle with unknown writings was spinning below me.

Is this the legendary magic circle?

The light kept on getting stronger until I had to close my eyes.

Urm… Is this some kind of karma because I didn’t save that boy?

When the light’s intensity grew, it suddenly let out a loud explosive sound, leaving a crater in the sidewalk. The explosion sent force outwards and the boy who was about to get hit by the truck was pushed aside. At least he is safe now. The truck was also forced onto its side by the same explosive force. However, the young man named Kuromaru Ryuuji was nowhere be seen.

Prologue

Since long ago, throughout all of history, the battle between humans and the Demon King is well known . Countless battles have been fought, but the human side have always failed in killing the Demon King; they could not even reach the Demon King’s castle.

However, slowly but surely the human side is getting stronger. It started when the holy church of Cyndora got a revelation about a girl who will be born with spirit power level surpassing even the demon lord. The girl, taken by the church since birth, grew into a powerful priest. Her only weakness was that she could not use battle (offensive) magic. Her magic was limited to healing magic but it can regrow severed limbs.

One day the girl tried to perform another type of magic. Using an ancient ritual, she conducted a powerful summoning spell, “The Hero Summoning”. With her massive amount of spirit power the ritual succeeded and the first Hero was summoned.

The first Hero led the human against the Demon King’s army, and finally for the first time in two thousands year, the human army managed to arrive at the demon king’s castle. With Great difficulty the first battle of the hero and the demon king ended in the death of the hero.

Thus the priest continued to summon heroes. One after another, the heroes were slain by the demon king. 30 heroes have been summoned and 30 battles have been fought, costing the lives of millions of humans and demons, sacrificed in battle.

The priest didn’t stop summoning the heroes because, as the time went on, the power of the heroes that she summoned got stronger. The 31st hero was on par with the demon king and had managed to cut off one of its horns while the 30th hero was only able to break through the Demon King’s defensive force shield. The rate of improvement was shocking. The 32nd hero managed to injure the Demon King heavily. There was hope and expectation that with the summoning of the 33rd hero, he would have the power to slay the Demon King.

However the hero summoning can only be done once a year because it consumed a lot of spiritual power which needed a lot of time to recover. So the human side waited for the next summoning with joy as they could finally see hope in defeating the Demon King.

While the human side was waiting with full of confidence, the Demon King’s side had suffered heavy damage to their morale. “ The Demon King’s army was afraid that maybe, they will meet their end soon.

“Father… Are you alright?”

A beautiful girl with red eyes and fiery red hair walked to the throne. Her look could charm anyone that laid their eyes upon her. A body with perfect curves and black wings growing on her back, she was without a doubt a demon. Moreover the tiara on her head showed her status as the Demon King’s daughter.

“Rosalie… I’m fine…”

The Demon King, her father had a manly look. With only one horn remaining he looked like a war-god that had survived countless life and death situations. Right now he sat on his throne with one hand on his head.

“I’m worried father… The power of the humans keep growing… Each time you defeat a hero another one appears with greater strength… The last one even managed to cut off one of your horns.”

A demon’s power can be seen by the size of its horn. Horns are not just for decoration, they also serve as a power storage, therefore the stronger the demon, the bigger the horn. With one horn remaining the Demon King could be said to have only half his power left.

“I know Rosalie.. I don’t even know how they get stronger ever time. The human in the Magora Continent don’t have much power, yet they keep on coming with unbelievable strength.”

“Father… I heard that these humans are summoned through an ancient ritual. It is called “The Hero Summoning” if I’m not mistaken.”

The demon king frowned and fell deep into thought…

“Ancient ritual… Hmph…. Hero summoning… Hmph…. If they’re summoned from another world, that explain their strength.. No human in this world can match my power.. Hmmm.. ”

“Father…. If the humans can do this ‘Hero Summoning’, can’t we do it too?…”

The Demon King looks at his daughter with a surprised look and grinned. His smile was so grim it could make countless children cry and cower in fear.

“Rosalie! You’re genius… I never heard of it before, but it is possible. Thank you Rosalie.”

He stood up from his throne and gave orders to his guard. “Quick call Vahjra the blood mage here!”

Instantly his guard nodded, made a salute and ran out of the throne hall and disappeared into the shadows.

“hahahahahaha… If the humans can summon a hero, why can’t I summon a hero by my side? Hahahahahaha…”

Rosalie wasn’t sure of what just happened but she’s was happy seeing that her father was no longer gloomy or depressed.

Soon, the tides of battle shall change.. The first hero will be summoned to the Demon King’s side…
