Reborn As An Evolving Monster



They're wrong to want to leave me in the first place.

Wrong...? Oh. That's true. I'm amazing now. They call me the Devourer! The Evolving Monster!

That's right! I am amazing! They have no reason to leave me! They're making a mistake! So I won't let them make that mistake!

That's true! That's true! They even say that I'm a Potential Demon King Candidate!

That sounds so cool!

I'm so cool!

Anyone would want to be with me now!

Nobody would want to leave me now!

"Helloooo! Miss me, Mark?"

Nobody would leave me now!

Anyone doing so would be making a mistake.

"Helloooo! Can you hear me, Mark?"

What about those making that mistake?

Like my classmates who stopped coming to see me? Like my friends who left me? Like my parents who stopped coming to see me?

What about those making that mistake?

I hate them.

I hate them all.

They never should have left me.

They were wrong to.

I'm a Potential Demon King now! 

Yes! They left someone who became a Potential Demon King! What a mistake!

"Haloooo!"

Potential Demon King...

Demon King...

King...

I won't let them go.

I won't let them leave.

I won't?

I won't. They're mine.

Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine! MINE!

Mine?

What does that mean?

It means that I won't let them go!

They're mine!

I brought them back!

I made them stronger!

I got them out!

Mine! Mine! No one gets to touch what is mine!

What about Raven?

I'll kill him when the time comes!

What about Levi? Mine!

What about Light? Mine!

Fiery? Mine!

Gray? Mine!

What about Elisa?

What about Elisa?

What about Elisa?

What if she doesn't want you anymore? What if she leaves you? What if she wants you away?

No. No. No. No. No! NO!

Mine!

She's mine!

She is?

She is! 

Mine!

I could have killed her that day! 

I saved her many times!

I...

Does that make her mine?

I'm a Demon King Candidate!

Does that make her mine?

It does! She's mine!

In the first place... She was given to me!

She was?

That's right! She was given to me! I could have killed her! I could have Devoured her! But I didn't! I kept her! But she was mine from the beginning! She was kidnapped! She was hurt! 

She was hurt...

She was hurt for me!

Those who brought me here... Made her mine! So she's mine!

What about them?

They brought me here! From another world! From after I died! So they're like... They're like gods. So if they gave her to me, then she's mine!

No... I don't...

It's true!

No... I don't agree with that...

It's true! She's mine! She was offered to me! Offered to the Devourer! To the Evolving Monster! Offered to me! Mine!

Then...?

Then I can do what I want!

What do I want?

Embrace. Hold Touch.

Yes!

Stroke. Kiss. Lick.

Yes!

Bite. Nibble. Pinch!

Yes! 

Fuck! Devour! Kill!

I...? I don't-

"You hate them? Do you, Mark?" The boy finally turned around at the familiar voice. 

Mina.

Mina?

Red hair. Green eyes. That voice...

Mina.

"Your classmates, your parents, everyone, huh?"

The only one who didn't leave me.

The only one who took care of me.

Everyday?

Everyday.

"Don't want to answer? What are you doing here in the first place? It's bright, but everything is white. Though there is a dark shell all around. Weird, isn't it?"

Mina.

Mina.

How long did she take care of me?

Too long.

Day in...

And day out.

From the first day...

To my last.

"Tell me, Mark..." She walked closer before stopping and bending her back forward, becoming eye-level with the child who had his back turned to her. "Tell me, Mark..."

What should I tell her?

What do I tell her?

Make her smile. Make her laugh. Even if it hurts, tell her that it doesn't. Even if you're tired, tell her that you're feeling better. Make her smile. Lie. Lie! Don't complain. Don't complain! Keep it in! Don't let her leave too!

No. No! NO! That's over. I don't need that anymore. I don't need to do that anymore!

I'm a Demon King Candidate... I don't need... To do that?

"Tell me, Mark..."

I don't need to lie anymore?

"Do you hate me too?"

Hate Mina?

No. Impossible.

Yes. I hate Mina.

I don't.

I do.

Do I hate Mina?

She took care of me.

She looked down on me.

She brought me my meals.

Because I couldn't get them myself.

I couldn't do anything without her.

Now I can!

She was there... That whole time... She was there...

She was! She saw me!

She saw me...?

Exposed. Exposed!

She saw me... When I was weak?

Weak! Fragile! Incapable of doing anything!

I can't... Let that be...

I'm a Demon King Candidate! She saw me when I was weak! I hate her! I hate her! She was looking down on me! She was making fun of me! I hate her!

She didn't... Make fun of me.

She did! She always said I would get better! She always said she would be with me! She's not anymore! I didn't get better! It's her fault! She lied to me!

She lied... To me?

I don't need her anymore! I've never needed her! It's all her fault! I hate her! She left me!

No... No I... I left h-

She left! She lied! She laughed! She wasn't like me! Every day she was there but she wasn't like me!

That's true. She wasn't like me...

She could never understand! She was fine! I'm sure it made her feel great to see me weak! To see me that way! To see me unable to do anything! How did it feel to help poor weak me? How did it feel seeing me then going to your home where everything was fine and great? I'm sure it felt good, didn't it? I'm sure you felt great about your life after seeing poor cripple me!

She was... No... Yes... She... I... What was...

Before he could realize it, the boy had his hands wrapped around her neck. 

Strangling her until she fell to the ground.

"So you did hate me, huh?"
