[BL] I Will Be Your Number 1 Devotee!

"Really? Is there no better way?" Eriu hesitated after looking down once more. The long worm pierced the bird's body, and the bird pecked at the worm until it split in two! But instead of dying, the split body moved on its own and attacked the bird directly.

The more he saw it, the more terrified he became to face the problem.

He had just survived death, and now he was facing death again. What a lucky/unlucky person he was...

He hastily turned to his right hand, making Eriu frown, "...you're not mocking me, are you?" Eriu asked angrily. The eyes in his hand, which had been bulging with pupils spinning all over the place, immediately returned to normal as Eriu looked at him. 

For Eriu, who had met many people, he knew what the demon was thinking. Those eyes were not mocking or hating him, but questioning himself. Asking him if he had made the right decision to choose this little boy without manna as his master or not, and after that, the question turned into a mockery.

"Huh? No, I just sighed."

"Nah, that's an insult."

"You know? How awesome!"

"..."

Prok-prok-prok!

The sound of clapping could be heard everywhere. If he heard that demon speak again, his patience would instantly disappear. And for the millionth time, he knew that he was very emotional.

His old self was not the angry type, he was even used to being teased, even if the people around him were teasing him to make him angry, he was the type who would reply with, 'Yes, and?'

The person must be tired of hearing that, but it doesn't work with these three! Even when they argue, these three have a way of making him even more angry.

Does 'Eriu Grith' get angry easily? It seems so.

SIghh...

Cooling his head, Eriu looked back at the bloody scene he was facing.

Take the blood and run, okay, that's it.

Relax, I'm the protagonist's friend, there's no way I'm going to die before the original story begins.

Although Eriu was only silent for ten seconds of that ten second period, the demon realized why he was so terrified. Since the distance of his shadow power was only 2 meters, he couldn't see clearly, and the farther the distance, the more blurred his vision became. So when his power suddenly disappeared, it became useless because he was indeed weak and his strength was not at the level of a demon called Deus. Even so, he could still see the strange gaze that was directed at that little boy, surely that thing wanted to eat him.

Feeling a pleasant discovery, the demon arched his eyes, "Want some advice?" With a look of uncertainty, Eriu turned to his right hand, "... What?" It was impossible that this demon suddenly had the same goal as him, surely he had another intention.

"Kill the winner of the battle outright!"

Eriu's mouth throbbed at this most useless suggestion, what was the difference between trying to smear himself with blood and killing the winner of the battle? 

"..."

"As expected." 

"Hey! What do you mean? I was kindly giving advice!!!"

"Yes, yes, useless advice indeed."

".... Don't look for me again!" The eye on his hand immediately disappeared, leaving a black color that still colored his entire right hand. Eriu, who was left alone, panicked, "Eh! No! Come back!" 

Eriu patted the big sword that turned into a small sword, and the more he patted it, the smaller it became. This bastard is doing it on purpose!

There was a reason why he was so panicked right now, the negative aura gathered around him could be a shield to prevent the divine servants from approaching him, and if the aura suddenly thinned out, what would happen?

"Don't joke with me, hey!"

Well, there's another way to block them, the blood of the winner of this battle, even though it can't stop them for a full 2 hours or as long as the demon aura, it's still useful. This is why their blood was so important in hunting down the divine servant.

He got this information from Noah, along with the diary he wrote back then.

And there was a more effective way to make the divine servant really not dare to approach that person, to kill the winner, and the winner meant an untouchable battle.

"Uhh..."

When Eriu first saw the giant bird and the long worm fighting, he realized something, that they were divine servants who were considered powerful by other divine servants. Like those lich-like monsters. That was why no one bothered them when they collected the corpses because they knew they could die if they were there.

"Come on, I'm kidding, your advice is useful..."

ROARRRRRRR-!!!

The sound of a roar echoed, Eriu desperately turned back to the scene of the battle, the bird's blood was spreading everywhere, but instantly the blood coagulated into a very hard clot, there was even blood writhing, and all the blood was directed towards the worm.

"..." In a hurry, Eriu slapped his hands, "Hey, heyyy! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I won't argue with you anymore, I'll answer all your questions, I'll grant all your wishes!"

Seeing no answer again made Eriu even more resigned. What could be done with a child's body?

Nothing.

The child would either be eaten or become a meal for the children of the monster guards. Especially the 'Fox'.

While he was confused about what to do, the sound of the tape played back the day he took Eros out of the village.

"I don't want to." It had been about a month since Eros came to live with them, and at that time he didn't know that this village was called the Mysterious Village, and there were only a few rumors about this village. 

Whoever discovered this village would be silenced by the locals, of course with an absolute contract.

Not once or twice had he left the village with Ariadne to buy new clothes, or with Louise just to take him for a walk. 

Even when he was born.

He was really shocked and confused when he suddenly turned into a baby. He had just died, but when he opened his eyes he saw another world. The voices that surrounded him sounded like magic, if you think about it, the language is not the language that people generally use.

Just like English, which is the main language to learn, the language they use is like a language from another country.

In this world there are more human races, even though they are the weakest, their population is reversed. That's why there are many human kingdoms like Peacon Kingdom and Werliasthlist Tower. In fact, there are also many humans who try to exterminate a race so that they can be considered superior. Other races take them lightly, but some of them go with the flow. Because these races learn, they keep up with what's happening and don't ignore the changes, even when the world is dominated by weak creatures.

For example, the cat race or rat race, they are the most similar to humans, the way they talk and their faces, also they are the smartest race compared to others.

That was why most of them used the language of the Peacon Kingdom, because they were the first human kingdom and had the most influence compared to others. 

The same goes for the village of Te Amo, which has its own accent when speaking the language of the Peacon Kingdom.

After four or five days, the two people who would become his parents said goodbye to the stranger, and the woman who would become his mother took the baby in her arms, put a black robe on him, and they went out. Even though his memory was fuzzy and the scenery around him was not very clear, he knew that what surrounded him was not trees, but fabric. Everything around them was decorated with fabrics.

But after another step, they were all surrounded by trees.

Eros ignored him and continued to wash the dishes. Eriu tilted his head in a questioning way, "Why? Aren't you curious about what is out there?"

"I'm not curious. It's just you."

"No way! You're from outside this village." Eriu could still feel an overwhelming sense of awkwardness when he invited Eros out of this village, back then they were still not familiar, it could be said that even though Eros often approached him, he was still hesitant to be friends with him.

At that time, Eros was just a character he saw in a game, nothing more and nothing less.

Eriu realized what Eros meant when he said that he liked him the first time he met him. Eros wanted to make him his friend as soon as possible, no need to talk, just say he liked him by putting on a face of being in love. His target would certainly believe him.

The fact that Eros never refused his requests, even did what he was told, frightened him. The fear that Eros would kill him outright must have triggered his illness again. Fear, anxiety, and mistrust. All these negative feelings swirled around him, so he thought that finding out where Eros came from or taking him out of the village might help him find answers.

Maybe he could find a place where Eros would be resurrected when he died in the future.

"Aren't you also? You better drop that idea, if you dare, I'll tell Papa." The diamond-pink eyes reflected in his face. Afraid, Eriu pretended to be confused, "Uh...?"

"..." Eros did not say anything at that time and just silently ignored him while he continued to wash the dishes.

The situation between the two was very awkward before Eros approached him again as if nothing was wrong.

The second part of the movie had begun.

That day, he dug desperately in the ground, confused about where all the magic stones he had collected had gone. He didn't give up searching for the whereabouts of the magic stones he had collected, but suddenly a screen appeared in front of him.

[We can't go back if we keep going.] 001 warned. Of course, hearing this, Eriu was stunned, "?"

"Why can't we go back?" 

[I thought you already knew...]

"Know what?" Eriu's eyebrows furrowed.

[Ummm, leave it! You'll find out later.] Only then did the sound of screaming become audible.

001 was not wrong, he had already realized it after living in that mansion-like house. It was like an artifact that protected the house from being attacked by divine servants or thieves.

And the village was protected by a barrier that made it impossible to find them.

The difference between the two was that one kept uninvited visitors from entering, while the other made them appear to be moving around.

They are like birds in a cage. The cage is always held by someone and taken to where the person wants to go.

"Aren't you very curious about 001?" Immediately, an eye in the small sword opened wide. Seeing this reaction, Eriu couldn't help but smile broadly. At that moment, Eriu started running before jumping down from a height with both hands holding the small sword tightly, "If you can catch me after the count of 10, I will tell you all about it!"

"Arghhhhh-!!!" Eriu screamed with all his might. His hair fluttered, his eyes closed, and his hands clenched tightly around the small sword, which instantly returned to its original form.

BANGGGG!!!

An open eye widened above Eriu, and that huge sword instantly pierced the giant bird's flesh. Due to the sudden shock, Eriu was instantly knocked backward. Deliberately leaving the sword behind, he stood up panting. Without turning his head, Eriu ran straight into the forest filled with divine servants staring at him.

What can children do? Of course, because they love to play, even if their bones are crooked, they will still play!

"HAHAHA!" The eyes on the sword stared at her before merging with the blood to chase after Eriu. Just hearing that laughter made Eriu shiver to death. Still, he did not stop, knowing that if he stopped for even five seconds, he would be caught.

With his sharp eyesight, Eriu walked right past the giant hand that appeared right after Eriu entered the forest.

"Catch me if you can, Ugly!" He doesn't know to whom he said these words, but they certainly made some of those who understood human language angry, and they immediately swarmed after him.

Dang-dang!

Crows chirping to their friends, vibrations in every tree. The people living there were confused by the sudden vibrations. However, Eriu didn't care about the mess he made.

10!

ZRATTTT-!

Blood spurted everywhere, and the blood clot that was chasing him like a drill pierced the bodies of the divine servants that were chasing him.

The whole place was turning into a forest full of blood.

Why didn't anyone notice the door in the backyard? Even though the door was completely made by 001, the materials were directly from 001, even the key was still on the first page of his diary.

The reason is simple: they never realized that they were hallucinating.

They were trapped from the beginning, so everyone thought it was just an ordinary backyard, an ordinary forest.

That corpse-like creature should not have entered his room. It shouldn't have been there at all. The hallucination that made the creature think it could do anything.

The hallucination that made the forest look even darker, the hallucination that finally made it play in the palm of his hand.

Eriu realized this.

The day he saved that pregnant woman and the day 001 asked him because 001 was the one who knew everything, this world, him (Eriu), and the game.

Everything is locked in a cage.

And with ease, he made everything bend to his will!

Like a hallucination come true, Eriu's hand instantly held the golden key.

"Haaa, haa..." It was still a long way to the glass, but why would he reach it if he had that key?

"!" Eriu, who was too focused on continuing to run, did not notice the rock that appeared out of nowhere, causing him to immediately fall to the ground, leaving his blood imprinted on the rock. When Eriu raised his head, a door was right in front of him, seeing this, he immediately inserted the key into the door cylinder, the instrument on the game song {You're My Ramel} sounded, and the instant he opened his eyes, he was next to the lake. 

The lake that was the glass itself.

"..." Eriu paused before reluctantly lying down on the grass with a small laugh, "Hahaha, damn you 001."

Crack.

The sound of candy being chewed was heard, the thin lips smiling.

You like my games, don't you, my cosmos?

.

.

.

The creature was very pale and walked past corpse after corpse to the place where the little boy had disappeared. His face was shapeless, his hands resembled wolf hands, and his feet were human feet with fox ears.

He bent down to touch the nearly dried blood and kissed his bloodied hands. The hand trembled as if it wasn't enough, and the creature pressed its face to the ground, inhaling the blood as if it were crazy about the smell of blood.

"THE FUTURE! HE WHO SEES THE FUTURE!"

"PROPHECY IS NOT WRONG, THE PAST IS NEVER WRONG!"

"HAHAHAHA!"

Horrible laughter, horrible stories, and a future that is never known. 

Once again, I ask you, outsider.

How scared are you of the future, or how much do you want to escape the past?
