《The ascendance of the "Emperor of Darkness"》Prologue
Advertisement
Ha~so tired, I want to sleep more."
I'm walking to school with a sleepy face. Why I felt sleepy? Because I played games until dawn.
"Well, that game is pretty good"
My friend Kevin recommended that game, I thought it's just a trash game again like the last game he recommended. But that battle game is freakin' awesome!
And that's why I become drawn in playing and forgot the time.
"I guess I'll excuse myself and sleep in the infirmary."
I look haggard right now, I'm sure my adviser will let me rest.
While thinking about how to have some sleep. I arrive at my school.
Opening the door, two-third of my classmates are already here.
"Good morning"
After greeting my classmates, I quickly walk straight to my seat and lay down my head on my desk.
"Hey! Jun my friend! are you sleeping?"
"No, I'm f*cking studying."
"Haha! You really know how to joke, why not try to become a comedian?"
This F*ck is shitting at me this early in the morning.
"Just stop talking, I want some sleep."
"Ohhhh! Just like I predicted, you really played it until dawn! Just like me! We truly are friends!"
This f*ck is so loud! Please stop opening that megaphone-like mouth of yours!
Ouch! My head is hurting, I need to get out of here. This guy will not stop until our adviser comes in.
"That battle in the castle is freaking legendary right!"
Ah~this guy still on it, I'll break this f*cking torture!
I stand up and walk out.
Kevin got startled because of my sudden action.
"W-where are you going Jun, my friend?"
"I'm going to pick flowers."
I answered him without looking back to avoid another question.
We're already friends for seven years, so he will not be hurt in something like that.
"hah~that guy is very energetic."
Well, even though he's a little bit annoying because he's too loud.
Kevin is a good guy.
He helps me every time I have a problem or got in trouble.
He's like a little brother to me and for him, I'm like his older brother.
I stop in front of the faculty, yes faculty not comfort room.
My head will gonna explode if I stay more time in the classroom, so I'm personally going to our adviser.
"Excuse me, Good morning ma'am"
After opening the door and greeting the teachers, I quickly approach my adviser.
"Ma'am can I rest in the Infirmary, I'm not feeling good right now. *cough*"
I'm looking very sick because of a lack of sleep and I also add a little bit of coughing to be more convincing.
My adviser touches my forehead to measure my temperature.
"Jun you're pale and look sick, but your temperature is normal?"
"I don't know ma'am but I feel dizzy and cold."
My adviser thinks momentarily and stares at me.
I also stared back not removing my eyes in hers so she'll not be suspicious about me.

Please let me sleep!
"Okay, rest there for a while, if your body becomes good you can go back to our classroom. If not, you can go home and I'll excuse you to other teachers."
ALRIGHT! Thanks, ma'am you're an angel!
"Thank you, ma'am, I'll go now to the infirmary,*cough* excuse me."
Suppressing my shout of joy I quickly walk to infirmary.
"ah~what a soft bed we have here."
Mission Accomplished! I can sleep now without a problem.
I close my eyes and sleep comfortably.
◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉◉
"My back's hurt"
Hm? Why my back is hurting? I'm sleeping in a soft and warm b-?!
"What the!"
I open my eyes and hurriedly get up.
Why I'm sleeping on the floor! Is someone playing a prank to me?
Those bastards! I gonna beat up the shit out of them!
Walking pissed off I try opening the door, but it didn't open.
I kick it and try any sort of thing but it didn't budge at all.
"Hey! someone, please open the door! Quit this prank already!"
I look around to find something useful to forcibly open the door.
"..."
There's nothing! All I can see is a wide empty room and a tablet in the center.
Come to think of it. This room is kinda new to me.
"Our school didn't have this kind of room."
I love roaming around inside the school premises so I already entered all the facilities and rooms in the school, of course, except in the girl's restroom.
And also-
"That tablet."
Why there's a tablet here?
Did they leave it behind so I can contact them when I wake up?
I don't think so, that's too risky for them because I gonna kick there asses! The time I know who they are.
Ah! My smartphone! I always have it anywhere I go. I put my hands in my pocket.
It's not here! I double-check my pocket and my whole body but there's no smartphone.
What the!.. did they get it? really! those bastards are going too far.
"!?"
The tablet turns on on its own. Are the pranksters doing this?
I got curious and approach the tablet. There's some text in it.
*Do you want to be strong?* [Yes] or [No]
"What's up in this question."
I don't understand this question but right now I'm stuck in here and bored.
"Well, I don't have anything to do."
I pick the tablet and sit cross legs in the center of the room.
*Do you want to be strong?* is the first question.
Of course, anyone wants to be strong. For me, I'm kinda strong because I do karate, taekwondo, and boxing.
In my elementary days, I got bullied many times because I have a weak body.
I remembered that Kevin is always helping at that time. He will run to call the teachers to stop the bullying.

So I trained myself to have a good and strong body so I wouldn't be a burden to my friend, family, and especially to my mother who always worried about me.
My answer is already decided.
I choose [Yes]
Another question pop up again, *Do you want the power to trample the strong?*
To trample the strong? is it means beating up powerful beings?
A weird question again but I still answer [Yes].
Who doesn't want power? Until now I still like watching anime and reading light novel and manga. So the answer is obvious, I choose [Yes] again.
The next question pops up again, so it's a survey.
A survey for weebs! How did it know that I'm a weeb!
Kevin is the only one who knows it but he's also a weeb and my best friend so that's impossible.
Maybe this is just a coincidence.
I proceed and read the new question.
[Choose the Job you like?
You can only choose one.
-Blacksmith
-Archer
-Hero of Light
-Merchant
....]
Just like what I thinking, this survey is for weebs!
Well, I'll play along I also like this sort of thing after all.
Let's see what job is interesting.
"Hero of Light..."
This job is very popular in every light novel and manga that I read.
But this job is for idiots who have a naive personality and justice.
And also the one who becomes the [Hero of Light] will be obligated to save the world.
That obligation is to heavy for me, I'm just a high schooler who tricked his adviser just to have time to sleep.
"This job is messed up, Nah I don't like it."
I continue scrolling down but most of the jobs are not to my liking.
And suddenly my eye caught something interesting.
!? What is this cool and badass job name! It sounds like a title than a job.
"Emperor of Darkness..."
I got hype because of this job's name. So cool! I like this job.
With a big grin on my face, I choose the [Emperor of Darkness].
[You can choose 10 skills that you like.
There are 1000 skills in the list, take your time in choosing.
Because of your Job, all the skills that you choose will have a max level.
-Fire magic
-Water magic
-Wind Magic
-Earth Magic
-Holy Magic
...]
"Seriously!"
I'm not surprised because I can get 10 skills, It's because all of the skills that I'm going to pick will be at Max level automatically! And there are 1000 skills on the list! So many!
What to pick! What to pick! What to pi-!?
"w-wait, why I'm being so excited about this."
So scary! This survey is so scary!
My inner weebs is coming out of my body.
"Shhh...Whuu..."
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.
Calm down myself this is only a survey don't be so delusional.
After a brief pause to calm my mind I continued and search the skills I want.
My job is an [Emperor of Darkness] so I will pick the suitable skills for that.
After scrolling up and down I picked the skills that will help and matched my badass job.
The screen shows the skills that I picked.
[These are the skills you chose.
-Dark Magic
-Holy Magic
-All Weapon Mastery
-Stealth
- Abnormal State Resistance
-Spacial Magic
-Body strengthening
-Blacksmith
-Magic Resistance
-Mana Regeneration
Are you sure about choosing these skills? [Yes] [No] ]
I choose [Yes] because I'm pretty sure about the skills that I picked.
And there's another question that appeared again.
This survey is not ending, It irritates me because my mind got drawn into it. It feels like it's forcing me to answer the questions.
Alright, the best way to end a survey is answered in all [Yes].
No one knows that I'm the one who answered it, so even the question is no good and I answered [Yes], No one will know.
I choose [Yes] every time the question pops up.
The survey finished after a few seconds.
"So there's only a few questions left."
I thought I need a few more minutes to end this survey.
What are those questions I didn't read?, I got curious.
Well, there's a text on the screen saying [Thank you for answering. I wish you good luck!]
There's no helping it the survey is already finished.
Maybe I try opening the door agai-?!
I can't get up. What's happening? Are my legs sleeping because of me sitting cross legs for too long?
No, something is forcibly pinning me down so I can't get away.
And my hunch is right on the mark.
"What the!"
A black hole suddenly appears in front of me and slowly move in my direction.
This is bad that thing is approaching me, I need to escape!
"Move my legs! move!"
I try to get up and run but my legs didn't move even a little.
And the black hole got near me and slowly swallowed my whole body.
If I didn't trick my adviser and sleep to infirmary this thing wouldn't happen to me.
After regretting what I did I lost my consciousness.
Jun got swallowed in the black hole not knowing that the tablet shows the questions and his answers.
[Thank you for answering, I wish you good luck!]
[These are the questions and your answers.]
[Do you want to be strong? - [Yes]]
[Do you want the power to trample the strong? – [Yes]]
[Choose the Job you like – [Emperor of Darkness]]

RE: Monarch
Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the clutches of the throne once and for all. It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.
