Prologue – What Awaited Me On The Lowest Floor

Finally, I reached the 100th floor.
I wonder how long it has been since then?
When I was a kid, I couldn't even win against an animal that resembled a monster.
On the contrary, I was nearly killed a lot of times.
I missed the time where I used a wooden stick that was laying around to practice my swings.
When the village still existed, what I used to wear was frowned upon.
Far from fighting against demons, we didn't even go out of the village.
At that time I'd been a child and it certainly was dangerous outside, so that was natural.
However,
Right now, I couldn't think about the the good old days.

Ever since the day the village was burned down, I continued to walk mindlessly until I noticed that I was in front of a cave.
If you think about it, normally I should have died already.
I wonder why I was able to get this far, I don't understand.
Maybe I was still determined to survive.

There is something waiting at the bottom of the stairs
I wonder what it is? At the 90th floor, I was fighting against a huge snake with terrifying speed.
It was going around in circles with high speed, drawing a spiral and surrounding the entire area.
As if it was shaving the ground, everything on its way was swallowed.
Next, it used paralysis and poison, I wonder if that was its specialty.
Strangely I'm not scared, but such things won't work on me anyways.
Even I, who doesn't know how to read the alphabet, knows that this situation was abnormal from the start.
I don't remember how I was able to understand my circumstances.

When I descended the stairs, there was white bearded old man.

"No way, someone came..."

I was surprised for a moment, but the old man squinted his eyes and showed a gentle smile.
Someone, someone is here.
For a long time, for some reason I haven't been able to talk to someone else so I'm not sure If I was able to talk properly.

"I'm talking to you, do you understand me?
I don't know how much time has passed
for Humans can only live for about 100 years"

I wonder what I should say?
Apart from that, I wonder where the floor boss is?
Usually when I go down to a certain extent, a boss monster would appear.
This time I expected something, ....possibly.

"Now now, those annoying humans probably won't be able to drive me away to the bottom of the earth again, so now would be a good time, I should consider that.
If I appropriately spend another several hundred years...soon the lifespan of that hero clan will reach its limit. They should have died out by then."

Suddenly, the old man's body grew big.
From the corner of its shoulder and from the corner of its head, the color of its skin changed to black.
His thin and slender arms began to expand two fold of its original size and blood vessels began to rise. The color of his eyes changed to dark red.
Just like that, its demon-like body grew twice as big as me.
Its roar was able to destroy the surrounding walls and the pillars just by its wind pressure.
I thought I was going to be blown away, but somehow I was able to withstand it.

"I am the King of Destruction. Once, I destroyed the world and ruled all living things. There was an era where I instilled terror.
Some time ago before I became senile, I had the figure of a king ruling over the humans. I ruled over the humans and raised despair."

<King of Destruction> he says, something like that is just a step forward on my way.and I have no idea what he had been saying at all.

"Did you think that there was a treasure? If that's the case too bad!"
"No, its something else"
"There is only despair and death here. However, be relieved, I'll put effort in giving you as little pain as possible.........KAAAAA!!"
