Out of Control

Speaking of which, with such a cute, unconscious little demoness before me, it feels wrong not to engage in some gentlemanly behavior.

No, I can’t, this is a crime!

Go on, she’s a demoness anyway, no one will blame you for it.

Stop it, once I commit to gentlemanly behavior, there’ll be no turning back!

Heheheh, it’s fine, I’m an Archdemon King.
Can an Archdemon King who doesn’t do bad things still be called an Archdemon King?

My mind was in an internal struggle; the devil and the angel were already close to fighting it out.

What should I do?

Should I engage in gentlemanly behavior, or should I engage in gentlemanly behavior?
Indeed, I must engage in gentlemanly behavior!

Hahahaha, how could I miss out on such a good opportunity?
Angel, you can go die!

I eliminated the angel in my heart, and instantly, my gentlemanly power erupted fully.

However.

“Waaahhhhh!”

Just as my gentlemanly power fully erupted, my brain inexplicably exploded too.

The magic throughout my body suddenly ran wild uncontrollably, ravaging my insides in the blink of an eye, causing extreme pain.
The feeling was, simply, beyond exhilarating…

At this very moment, there wasn’t a single part of my body that didn’t feel pain.

What is going on!?

I collapsed weakly to the ground, and the earth couldn’t even withstand the magic overflowing from my body, shattering directly.

“It hurts so much, I’m dying from the pain!” Someone, please save me…

After barely surviving death, fortunately transmigrating and being reborn, then luckily escaping the Archdemon King’s control, becoming the strongest Archdemon King, and gaining a new lease on life.
I thought I had already reached the pinnacle of my life.

But why, why am I so desperate now?!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

My brain suddenly felt like a screwdriver was endlessly stirring my brain matter, waves of intense pain erupted one after another and quickly accumulated, preparing for an even greater burst.

“Aaaahhhhh!” A heartbreaking scream tore from my throat, and my consciousness began to gradually dissipate.

I’m going to die again…

God, why did you bring me into this world!?

“Physical level and magic level do not match. Reset levels?” In my blurry consciousness, I seemed to hear that cold female voice again, as if she was asking for an opinion.

“Yes!” Magic level? Reset levels? I didn’t understand at all.
Ahhh… it hurts so much! I don’t care!
Like a drowning person desperately clutching at a straw, I answered with all my might.

“Reset initiated. Reset complete.”

My mind suddenly went blank; the severe pain that had ravaged my body moments ago vanished without a trace, as if it had been fake.

At the same time, my body felt hollowed out; I couldn’t even sense a speck of the infinite magic I once had.

Wait, did I lose all my power?

Hey, hey, hey, I’m an Archdemon King reincarnation!

What kind of joke is this?

“True Sight skill loading complete.” The cold female voice sounded again, and a character status interface flashed before my eyes.

‘Liv Shadowsong
Race: Demon
Life Level: 1
HP: 10
MP: 0
Strength: 5
Defense: 0
Equipment Level: 0
Luck: ???
Skills: True Sight, Shadow Spear, Shadow Volley, Shift and Replace, Transformation.
Minion: Flora (Imp Race)
Note: 306 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes, 37 seconds until the Demon Slaying Convention.’

‘Just a moment ago, I was an invincible Archdemon King, but now I’ve become a weakling with combat power of five.
This plot twist is too ridiculous!
System sis, come out, let’s talk about life!’ This was undoubtedly a prank from the gods.

“…”

After more than ten minutes, the cold female voice still didn’t respond to me.

Ah, I’m being ignored.

Sigh, I dropped my head weakly; such a rapid fluctuation of highs and lows is too hard to accept!

Never mind, let’s just pretend I never became an Archdemon King.

Mm, that’s right, I’m just an ordinary transmigrator.

Hmph, now that I think about it, my current situation isn’t so bad.
I was already a dead person, and now I get a fresh start; that’s a huge profit.

After fooling myself, my mood instantly lightened quite a bit.

Next, I should first understand the current situation.

Since I had almost no information about this world, I could only start with the character status interface.

If I didn’t familiarize myself with my skills soon, I would be at a great disadvantage if an emergency arose.

Hmph hmph~ True Sight, a type of magic eye.
Its function is to see the basic status of all things.
Usage: Concentrate and gaze.

A rather subtle ability.

I concentrated and stared at the little demoness’s face, using this skill.
In less than a second, a status interface appeared above her head.

‘Name: Flora, Imp Race, Life Level: 60!?’

You’re kidding me, right?

The maximum level in ‘Grand Adventure’ was only 40; what’s with this level 60 character?

Wait, how many levels was I when I knocked out this level 60 little demoness with a single blow?

Sigh, never mind, why dwell on the past?
I’m just an ordinary transmigrator now!

‘Master is Liv Shadowsong,’ isn’t that me?

I never thought the master-servant relationship would be inherited after reincarnation.
Heheheh, having such a powerful and cute little demoness as a servant, this isn’t a loss.

I can’t see her equipment and skills, so this magic eye isn’t very useful.

The next skill is Shadow Spear.
A basic shadow technique, transforming one’s own shadow into a dark spear.

Was Kilartia a hidden spear-wielder after all? No wonder he was so unlucky.

Shadow Volley, an unleveled shadow technique, an area-of-effect skill, transforming the shadows of all things into countless spears for indiscriminate bombardment.
Under special circumstances, an automatic mode can be triggered.

This skill is much cooler than Shadow Spear.
But that “special circumstance” sounds a bit scary; it doesn’t seem very useful.

Let’s look at the next skill, Shift and Replace.

‘Level not reached, not yet unlocked.’ The Transformation skill is also not unlocked.
What is this garbage!

Alright, seen enough, done for now.

I really want to ignore the content of that note below… ‘Demon Slaying Convention’ or whatever, it doesn’t sound like anything good!

The time displayed there was decreasing minute by minute, as if a bunch of unknown objects were slowly approaching me, sending chills down my spine.

I don’t care for now.
There’s still a long time until this convention, so I’ll focus on surviving first.

I observed my surroundings and immediately realized I was in a forest, a gray forest completely devoid of life.

As a player with a habit of exploring maps, I had an impression of most of the currently open areas in ‘Grand Adventure’.

However, the scenery of this forest didn’t match any of my impressions in the slightest.

This place didn’t feel like a game at all; it was too real.

Ugh, the situation is quite bad!
Staying in such a gloomy forest, I have no idea what dangers might be unknowingly approaching.

“Hey, wake up.” I gently patted Flora’s small face, hoping she would wake up and explain the situation of this world.

Pat pat pat pat pat pat pat!

However, I patted her many times but couldn’t wake her up.
Could she be in some strange abnormal state?

I rechecked Flora’s character status; the ‘HP: 1’ number looked particularly dazzling.

Ah, I was the one who hit her like this.
To deal such a heavy blow to such a cute girl, I am simply unforgivable!

“How do I remedy this situation?” I looked up at the sky, waiting for the System sis’s answer.
I didn’t believe she would ignore me this time.

“Minion retrieved, nurturing.” Eh, she actually replied!

“Flora, come back. Like this?” Is this a joke?
How could she come and go like a Pokémon, especially since I don’t even have a Poké Ball?

No sooner had I spoken than my smile vanished.

Flora transformed into a white light that shot onto the back of my right hand, becoming a small, black bat tattoo.

A living person just turned into a tattoo; that’s too terrifying!

Even if it’s a game world, it’s too absurd.
If this is the real world, it’s even more horrifying!

“System sis, what’s going on?”

…

She ignored me again.

Never mind, ignore me if you want.
I’ll slowly figure out this world on my own.

“Hmph, my adventurer’s soul is starting to burn!” Not really.

Slowly standing up, I gently brushed off the dust that had just gotten on me.
Looking at the gorgeous white dress I was wearing, I once again realized the fact that I had become a girl.
