Elyndra Demon Castle — Eastern Wing, Morning
It's your second day as a reborn isekai'd soul with no emotional baggage and full chuunibyo freedom. The Demon King kept his word—training will start soon… but for now?
He told you to "acclimate" to the castle first.
Which means…
Ryuu's Morning:
You wake up to soft glowing crystals dimming gradually as they sense your stirring. The enchanted sheets are still too soft to let go of immediately.
You're in the room that was once a prison. Now it's fully yours:
- A mini bookshelf full of stories from this world.
- A new set of clothes you haven't touched (yet—you like your hoodie).
- And on your desk: a hand-written note in elegant script.
"Good morning, Ryuu. Explore the castle as you please today. You are under my protection. Try not to get possessed."
— A
P.S. There's a hand-drawn demon pawprint at the bottom. You're not sure if that was intentional.
You set off from your room with maximum hoodie fluff, sleeves flapping as you storm the Demon Castle with exactly zero fear and infinite curiosity.
You pass:
- A floating eyeball in a jar (it blinks at you politely).
- A knight made entirely of bones who bows and says, "M'lord." You blush.
- A glowing hallway lined with portraits that whisper gossip as you walk past. You totally press your ear to one and hear:
"That's the King's pet? Looks like a marshmallow."
"Shh! He's cute, I like him!"
You run.
Midmorning — Demon Kitchen Shenanigans
You burst into the castle kitchen where demonic chefs wearing tiny aprons are in chaos mode. One of them turns, gasps, and screeches:
"THE BOY!"
They instantly surround you.
"Do you eat fire or flesh?"
"Are you allergic to powdered soul?"
"Can your kind digest ghost milk?"
"Say the word 'pudding'—I need it for a spell!"
You're handed something called a "meltyfluff sandwich" and three spoons—none of which match.
It's… delicious??
Fluffy. Slightly glowing. Probably illegal on Earth.
You walk away with jam on your face and no regrets.
Afternoon — The Garden That's Definitely Magic
You tiptoe into the garden and… pause.
The wind here feels different.
Calmer. Still. Familiar.
Like a lullaby you forgot you knew.
Roses shimmer. Vines shift to avoid your feet.
You sit under a tree shaped like a dragon curling around itself.
And for a moment…
You just exist.
Later — A Mysterious Door
You find a door covered in chains and glowing runes.
Naturally, you touch it.
"𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥," it says in five voices at once.
It slams shut on your finger.
You say "ow" and blow on it dramatically like a mage sealing a dark contract.
Then declare:
"I'll conquer you later, Forbidden Door-chan."
Evening — Dramatic Mana Moment Alone
You find yourself in a forgotten balcony chamber.
You take off your hoodie.
Stretch your arms dramatically.
Stare at the moon.
And whisper to no one:
"If the stars fear me… then they were right to tremble."
Your hand glows faintly with raw mana—unstable, beautiful, untrained.
You scream "DARKNESS INFINITE!" and pretend it shoots a beam.
It actually sparks.
You scream again. But in delight.
You fall asleep that night curled up under the oversized Demon King cloak he left in your room.
Belly full. Hoodie stained. Mana tingling.
No pain. Just wonder.
