[Proglouge]

There are stories of How monster betrayed the gods and How evil they are; Have The God ever said it was true? Are we, actually evil? were questions a certain monster asked and with those questions, he builds a kingdom with the intention of peace but those questions also branded him as a monster who aim to corrupt humans' minds and wage war among other kingdoms of humans.

Thus, multiple kingdoms gathered and built an alliance against the monster, in the name of the god. The human-alliance sent their armies to get rid of the monster and his kingdom but the human-alliance lost, Monster was too overwhelming, resulting in the annihilation of their armies.

"It was self-defense! To save my own country" The monster shouted! When his action was shown as a sign of how evil monsters and his kingdom is. His words were ignored and humans, this time summoned the heroes from another world.

"PLEASE, SAVE US FROM THE DEMON KING! " Said the summoner to heroes as he bowed in front of them " Demon king is back and now he aims to take over the world by corrupting humans! "

Heroes believed the words of the summoner when they heard the word "Monster" and "Demon King" and they advanced towards the kingdom of Monsters.

The Kingdom of Monsters Fell. The strength of those summoned heroes from another world was unparalleled but that was not the reason the monster lost, It was a betrayal.

The Monster, Believed to be Demon King, Perished along with his kingdom.

"Humans, They are nothing but trash. Not a single one of them deserves mercy but---" said the monster, as he looks at his own two hands " I am not any different than them. " He forgives those who killed him and now, He only seeks eternal slumber that awaits him in the afterlife.

[Prolouge Ends]

An Empty Field, With White Colored Grass, As far as I could see there was only white grass to see. I have been here for[sigh], for a long time. I am not sure how long it's been. by the way, I am not alive anymore

I WAS KILLED BY A HERO

This should be Afterlife, That's what I believe; There is nothing here. It just abnormal white grass. Is this, what people Call Eternal slumber? I am not sure, but if that is the case, it is rather boring.

I've been keeping walking but I haven't found anything, Besides white grass.

"Heh--hehe"

It's funny

My Killer, He Will Held The [Title of Hero] For Rest of His Life, Maybe Even Longer; After he dies, He will be regarded as someone who slew a monster. There will be statues of him, In the middle of cities. People will offer roses to him-- But, for me, Only hatred.

" A Monster, huh? "

He killed a monster so, His actions were justified; Rather justified, There was no need for judgment in the first place since I was a monster.

No One Will Blame Him For Ruthlessly Killing Thousands of Monsters. Not Even You!

"We monsters always have been shown as a sign of evil. "

When Someone Hear Name Monster, An Ugly Looking Creatures Who Kills For No Reason appears in the mind

" He is a Monster. Kill Him! " Says, humans.

No Sympathy, No Logics, Not A Single Shread of Feeling of remorse. That's the fate, we were tied by, That's the fate I tried to mess with but--

.

.

Isn't that just cruel?

.

.

Hahaha - I laughed. And cried at the same time, laughing on humans who thought I was the bad guy and crying over my failure.

Deaths of my comrades who trusted me and gave their lives without hesitation.

My Family...

They All Sacrificed Themselves To...

" Will you stop crying now? "

When I was grieving, Over my death and fellow, who tried; protecting the peace. I heard a voice.

-Huh? Did I hear someone? but there is nothing but white grass.

" Yes, You Did " The voice responded, But there was nothing around me! Could this person be using [Disappear] Magic?

" Who Are You? " ( Monster )

" Who I am? now isn't this a funny question? Did you not said this is an afterlife, who else I would be? A Go..."

" What do you mean? come out and show yourself! "

There is no place for honesty, I cannot believe anyone anymore!

" A Monster, Trying To Order A God... Isn't that amusing? "

pfft-- A God, as if!

" If you are god then you don't have to hide, do you? "

" ..... "

I never would have thought in my life that God himself will show up in front of me but maybe, just maybe if this person who speaks behind the curtains is a god, I can get my answer! Why world peace couldn't be established! Why we monsters are regarded as evil! Why my peaceful country fell in the hands of those so-called heroes!

A bright flash of light appeared before me while seeing that light, My hope grew. Finally, I will have my answers. Finally, I will be able to-- There was a lot of question that I wanted to ask, and if there was a god, He should able to answer.

As that bright flash of light started to disappear, a figure emerged. As I saw this mysterious person appearing before me, all of my questions disappeared from my mind and my hope came crashing down.

Isn't this person is just a human?

" You wanted to see me? So, now what do you think? " Said the self-proclaimed god while He lifts his face and rubs his finger under his nose.

There was not a single question in my mind that this person is but a human. Not just a human, A Ordinary one at that!

" You don't look like a god. Shuu-Shuu, Kid. I don't have ti- "

I don't feel a single shred of mana from him, I mean- come on, HE JUST LOOKS SO PALE AND ORDINARY.

And Yeah, He is just a young boy. He should be around 18-years-old. Experiencing Adventurer's life for the first time in the human world.

" I don't look like a god, I see. I get it, you are right! A god shouldn't look like a High-school boy. God should be old and have a beard! "

That's exactly right! That's the image I had in my mind. Though I don't know anything about High-School boy.

" So, Do you want me to prove to you that I am a god? "

I nodded my head and agreed with him.

'...'

In that silence between us, the boy, He swings his hand in front of his eyes and a loud sound echoed in the distance as if someone had smashed a huge mountain [clank!] with their sword.

I had been wandering around this realm for who knows how many years but Never once I heard anything like this.

As the echoes vanished, A huge mirror started emerging from the ground.

In midst of that thought, A question came in my mind out of blue, This question had nothing to do with the sound and the mirror but still, I wondered "Why does the god favor humans?" I didn't ask it

When the mirror was finally above the ground, levitating in the air. An image started to emerge in the mirror, but that image was not static. It was moving[Video] like the seeing crystals I had used before.

And I know, This moment, It will be something that I would never able to forget.

" He...y what is this? " I asked, " What is happening to my world! "

In the mirror, I could see my world; burning in reddish flames similar to the burning mountain[Volcano] I had seen when I was alive, Even those mountains were a rare occurrence but now, It seems as if the world has been engulfed "by those burning mountains".

The whole world was burning, to ash. Yet still, There were no screams That I could hear unlike the magic I had previously used, Is this an illusion magic? I started to wonder but when the boy said

" You were asking for justice, were you not? "

no... that's not the kind of justice I was asking for, This is the opposite of what I had imagined as justice!

" Th..theere were innocent monsters too! HOW COULD YOU?! "

Yes, there were still monsters in the world, soon to perish though.

"Oh, but did you not think there must have been innocent humans, too. even if it was one single human"

Innocent humans... There is not a single human is who could be called innocent

" Are you sure? Well, Why Don't experience it for yourself? "

" What do you mean if I am sure? And experience it myself? "

All of the humans believe monsters are abandoned by the god, Monsters betrayed the god and they are evil, That's what humans are taught. Not a single one them asked if it was true, every single one of them believed it. 'Cause they have written proof in their old books.

I had always asked the question, Have the god ever said if monsters, actually betrayed The God? That question leads me here.

"I know, you have a lot of questions in your mind, " The boy said " but even if I answer your question---Let's cut the chase, I will send you to another world. In a world, Where for humans, monsters are nothing more than fantasy, where magic is nothing more than a fairy tale or that is what they believe "

" A world where monsters are but a fairy tale? Does such a world even exist? "

What about my world? It was burned to ash! How could he do that!

" You know it is rather hard to answer every single one of your the question but let me answer this one since it's gonna trouble you later if you didn't know the answer. The world you saw burning is from the future, That's the future of the world you were in and that's the future of every single world in existence. Now you know, and don't bother asking anymore question since I won't answer them. Hump! So, tell me now, do you wanna go or not? "

There was only one single thing I understood from what he had just said, That's the word "future of my world " So, my world will be burned in the future.

If I am being honest, If the image he showed me is the future of my world and not the present, then I don't care. I know, Humans in my pervious world will certainly kill all the monster soon enough and then if this happens to them. [Smile] Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face Even though I never wished for revenge. Maybe, I am evil

Anyways, He said a human could be Innocent, Too. if it's true in this new world, I would like to see such a world myself.

"....." The boy stays in silence

" Yes, I would like to see a world where humans could also be innocent. " I answered to the boy, to the god who wishes for me to see a world where humans could be innocent.

Humans are greedy, The only thing they care about is power. They are scared of other beings, scared to be overpowered by those beings. So, they kill. Not only those beings but themselves.

I Just wanna prove this ignorant boy, who has yet to see the reality but yet, claims to be a god, how wrong he is about humans.

" Good, Since I am the one forcing you to go to another world, I will grant you a wish, Tell me what do you desire? Mr. Monster "

- A Wish...

Power? No

There only one single thing that I could ask a god

" I wish my comrades and family and all of those monsters who died by *** and humans hands, to be granted a place, where they can rest "

I could have wished for them to be resurrected but they will surely be killed again, by humans.

Everything would be the same. and I won't ask for revenge since I never wished for it.

" Aha, Okay. As you wish. they will have a place where they can rest as long as time exists, now are you ready? Most--Wait "

"Yes, I am rea- Huh? What now?"

"Hmm, You need a name.. and I will also have to decide your gender "

"uhh? "

" A Boy And your name would be Albert "

A Boy

The Way God Said it

A Boy? He doesn't mean I will---

" Yes, you will now live as a human, to understand the humans you despise. Now Have Safe Trip Albert and Let's meet again "

" WAIT!!-- "

He didn't hear me when I asked him to wait and I was sent to this new world but actually, I found myself surrounded by darkness.

"Did the self-proclaimed god trick me? " There was no use of thinking of such things so, "I will just wait... " So, I decided to wait and see what happens but since there was nothing I could do, I started thinking... and thinking.

I never would've thought, I, a monster will be reborn as a human. In a world, where magic doesn't exist.

I wonder, How will able to survive in a world where the most common thing "Magic" doesn't exist, How I will light a fire or clean my weapons without magic?

Although There were some questions in my mind regarding the world I was going to, the most disturbing one was, what if the God-- No, Self-proclaimed God said turns out to be real?. Argh, I don't care.

Let's just see go for it!

"But I am still stuck here... "

[The monster was gone, and The God was now alone; Drinking tea when he suddenly remebered]

"Oh, I forget to tell him something important! Well, Good luck. Albert. "

; End of Chapter

[GOD]

He is a boy, of course. He looks pale and doesn't appear to show any emotions on his face [The god has a poker face]. He appears to be around 5.10/11 feet with a slim build body. By my observation, I can also tell he should weight around 54kg and appears to be 19-20year old, in looks anyway.

When I saw him, He was wearing black colored clothes [A High-School Uniform]. He was surely tidy. I don't know what his name is, Maybe his name, actually is "GOD" but who knows.

[Monster]

Arggg, This is embarrassing to say but I forgot my appearance in these years that I spent here. When I look down, towards my own feet, I can't see them. When I lift my hand, It appears to be invisible. So, Yeah. I don't seem to have a form.

It seems as if my certain memories also have been erased.

But I do remember a few things, I [Used to be] am a male monster and my name Albe-- No, What was my previous name again? I don't remember. Although, I do remember I was called Demon Lord in my previous world. it was only a title that Humans gave me on a whim even though I never had anything to do with Demon Lords.
