Chapter 2 (1/2)

The races of the previous Demon Kings were diverse.

Anyone who was strong enough to be recognized by the Demon God could become a Demon King.

There were times when they were human demons, nightmares, and beasts, and there were times when they were demons with horns and bat wings on their backs in human forms, which is what most humans think of when they hear the word ‘demon.’

I remember that there were also vampires, undead, and dragonians mixed with humans.

After I died and the demons were defeated, the door to the demon world was closed and the demons almost disappeared.

As the last demon king, I was a human demon race. It’s also rare now, but back then it was much rarer than that, a mixed-race of demons and humans.

What was funny was that this body now is also a half-mixed demon too.

Besides, the blood of demons is quite thick.

‘You look very young.’

Usually, the demon race grows slowly.

So, perhaps this body, which is a mixed-race demon, maybe older than it appears.

‘What’s the point of having another body if it’s also mixed blood?’

I was angry that this possessed body was trapped in the small room, but I could understand it.

Because there was a king a thousand years ago to reject the demons race.

But—.

No way!

“Awu!”

Not like a fool who can’t pronounce and can’t speak like this!

“Kyaa, there’s a strange noise!”

The maid freak out and screamed at her.

I glanced at her and got up from the cold floor.

I didn’t know because it’s night, but the floor was marble, which didn’t go well with the empty room.

I moved my arms and legs a few times and waddled to the place where the mirror was.

Somehow I look like a newborn foal.

I saw my reflection in the mirror. The skinny and naked body was exposed to the point that it was a little unpleasant to look at.

The cold permeated the red cheeks and bare skin.

“How long are you going to be like that? Hurry up and wear it.”

I was trying to gather my weak magical power to get rid of the cold, but a maid threw a piece of rag-like fabric in front of me.

I put the clothes on one by one and checked myself in the mirror once again.

‘Why am I so small, thin, and skinny?’

Maybe it’s because I don’t have enough magical power, but I’m still half-human, right?

I heard that humans have a short lifespan and grow quickly.

Apparently, this body was quite young among those humans.

‘Is this about— three or four years old?’

When I saw human children in the past, it seems that they were of this age if they were of this size.

‘No, considering the slow growth of demons, is it about five or six years old?’

What can I do with such a small and doll-like body?

Will they move properly?

It’s fascinating that it’s alive.

I looked carefully at the body reflected in the mirror.

The body was so small that I wondered if the ratio of the head to the body would be exactly equal to three.

My cheeks and hands were covered with dark stuff, yet my cheeks were plump as if they were full of candy.

When I poked my cheek a couple of times, which looked like a well-puffed dough, I felt a soft feeling.

The skin was new as if it had grown without seeing the light, and the golden eyes were very clear in preparation for that.

My eyes were as golden as when I was a Demon King.

‘It’s the same.’

Originally, the demon race often had bright red eyes or purple eyes, but I, who was of mixed race, had golden eyes.

I thought maybe if I used magic, it would turn red. Just like me in the past.

My long, curly hair was a bright purple color since it had not been well-groomed.

It wasn’t really surprising.

This is because demons are usually born with this color.

Purple hair was like a symbol of the demons.

Perhaps, it is all forgotten in the human world now because most of the demons have disappeared.

‘I think I like my face?’

It won’t be bad as long as they decorate it well.

To be honest, even though I’m not really interested in cute things, this body was cute.

Perhaps, the parents’ appearances are quite outstanding. I moved my arms and fingers around lightly.

It really feels like a small stuffed doll moving.

‘My magic power is still low.’

I quietly touched my chin and thought sadly.

Unfortunately, the most important result didn’t change much.

I still had no magic and my body was very small and fragile.

In order to break the seal of this magic power, I think it is probably necessary to do the ‘good thing’ that God said.

I don’t know what the standard for the good thing is but,

‘Will there be a temple?’

I’m not sure if I have to go there to meet the God who has cursed me.

The Demon King is basically emotionless.

To awaken as a Demon King, you must first kill the previous Demon King and the parents who raised them.

Furthermore, while living as the demon king, they committed several evil acts that were obviously excessive to the misery of others.

Because of that, I received a strange curse to do good things, but I did not know the standards of good deeds well.

‘I think I need a demon beast(魔神獸) too.’

The demon beast was an animal-type in the demon’s race like a divine beast.

In a word, they were like a spirit in the demon race, helping young demons who lacked magic to manage their magic.

There’s nothing that the divine beast didn’t know, so I thought it would be nice to have it.

“Look at that expression that doesn’t change even after seeing my face, how terrible.”

“Well, what can we do? She was born strong after the monster’s blood. That’s why she got this most corner room.”

“If I had a cursed child in my house who couldn’t even say this properly, I would have thrown it out in the past. In fact, which father would raise such a cursed child?”

Two maids from behind were talking very openly.

‘Father?’

It seemed like I had a parent.
