About 10,000 years ago.

When mankind did not yet exist on earth.

Out of the chaos, I was born.

Why was someone like me born?

I couldn't find an answer to that question, so I stopped thinking about it right away.

About five thousand years ago.

For five thousand years, I just kept getting stronger.

It wasn't of its own volition. Just like breathing, the power swelled on its own, just like breathing.

From that time on, the apes, later known as humans, were born, and various races, including elves, dwarves, dragons, and goblins, were born on earth and approached me.

However, even if I wanted to, I was unable to take it easy and destroyed everything that came near me.

Their power soon evolves into a battle with the so-called gods.

I didn't want that kind of battle and power.

After the battle, I personally sealed my body in the dungeon and became a spirit (astral) body. In order not to hurt anyone else.

About 3,000 years ago.

In the 2,000 years since he sealed his body, humanity has become the most prosperous on earth, and cities and countries have been built.

In his spirit body, Yu entered the human race and tried to suppress his power and coexist with them.

However, no human being was strong enough to withstand my power for long periods of time, and I had to replace them many times.

For some reason, a subordinate called the demon tribe was formed during that time, and I was called the demon king from then on.

A family called the Brave Clan also appeared and challenged me many times, but they were no match for me.

Then, he meets an elf girl named Tilt who has immense magical power.

She is the future Nuruhachi, the Great Sage.

About 2000 years ago.

For a long time after that, she was in the vessel of the Nuruhachi.

Her magical power was enormous and enveloped the remainder of us.

Inside the Nuruhachi, I might be able to coexist with people. I thought about that for a bit.

But the limit was slowly approaching.

Even within the Nuruhachi, Yu's power was getting stronger and stronger, and soon even the Nuruhachi's magic could no longer tolerate it.

Under the influence of my power, Nuruhachi's body was changing.

Nuruhachi's form became very similar to that of my main body, and the overflowing power gave Nuruhachi an extraordinary regenerative ability, making him immortal.

Any further assimilation would destroy Nuruhachi and everything would be destroyed.

I decided to leave Nuruhachi and shut myself away in my mental body in the dungeon where the main body was located.

I vowed never to enter a human vessel again.

You're never going to come out again?

'Yes, I have forbidden my men to come here. I'll seal the door as well.

I say goodbye to Nuruhachi in front of the icy main body.

'Yes, I will miss you,'

Saying that, Nuruhachi is squatting in front of the main body of Yu and doing something.

''What are you doing?''

I am sowing seeds of a flower. With the power that leaks out of you, it will bloom without soil, water or light.

Such a thing: ......

I couldn't say I didn't want it.

An emotion I'd never felt before had arisen within me.

'You look just like me and ...... No, you look just like Nuruhachi.

Nuruhachi looks at the main body of Yu and laughs.

From this moment on, Nuruhachi calls himself Nuruhachi to distinguish himself from my body.

'Someday I'll be stronger than you and come for you.

He knew it wouldn't happen.

Blah blah blah blah.

He should have thought so, but for some reason, his chest tightened and a strange liquid flowed from his eyes.

It was the first time in eight thousand years that this had happened.

It was long after Nuruhachi was gone, long after the seed had sprouted, that I knew what the emotion was.

Fifteen years ago.

For 2,000 years, the door had not been opened.

Several times the nuru bee came and spoke to me from outside, but I didn't answer.

Regardless of me, I want you to live. I hoped so.

However, the flowers Nuruhachi left behind were magnificent and bloomed, turning the room blue and calming my lonely heart a bit.

Why did Nuruhachi, who had no interest in flowers, do this? What kind of feelings are put into this flower?

It was too unsuitable for the Demon King to think about flowers, so he immediately stopped thinking about it.

The sealing of the door was really simple.

The door was linked to the power of the remainder of the world, and only those who surpassed it would be able to open it.

勇者や英雄、ドラゴンや神が扉を開けようと挑んだが、扉はビクともしなかった。

二度と開かれない扉を眺めつつ、これでいい、そう思っていた。

どんっ、という大きな音と共に、扉の外に何かが落ちてきた。

誰かが死体を捨てたのか、飛び降りて自殺したのか。

魔王の大迷宮(ラビリンス)を訪れた者は、人であれ、魔族であれ、神であれ、誰一人帰ることはない。

そんな噂が立っているとヌルハチが言っていた。

別に余は何もしていない。

傷つき、助かることのない冒険者達が、最後の地をここに選んでいるのだろう。

いい迷惑だったが、止めることも出来ず放置していた。

だが、その日、落ちてきたものは、そんな冒険者達とは違っていた。

「ふぇ」

幼い子供の声が扉の前から聞こえてきた。

耳を疑った。

あの高さから落ちてきて、生きているのか?

そして、さらに驚愕すべき事がある。

2000年間、開かれなかった扉がミシミシと音を立てて、自動で開かれていくのだ。

その隙間から、圧倒的な力が流れてくる。

そこに二歳くらいの小さな女の子が立っていた。

扉がすべて開かれる。

圧倒的な力の前に、余の力と連動している扉が、もう降参です、と言っているようだった。

ただの人間の子供。

それが何故、余を上回る力を持っているのか。

あまりの驚きに口をポカンと開けたまま、子供を見つめる。

「あー」

ヨタヨタとその子は部屋に入ってくる。

それと同時に扉が自動で閉まる。

まるで、この部屋の主人(あるじ)が余から子供へと移ったようだった。

精神体の余の姿は見えないはずなのに、子供は余に向かって真っ直ぐに歩いて来た。

この日から、後にアリスと名付けられる子供との奇妙な同居生活が始まった。
