After the darkness swallowed me whole… I opened my eyes.
What I saw wasn't peace.It was carnage.
I was lying on a pile of corpses—beasts, monsters, humans… all torn apart. It looked like a battlefield.A war I didn't remember fighting.A place I didn't belong to.
"How… did I get here?"
Confusion struck me like lightning.But it didn't take long for my mind to catch up.The memories returned—My parents.My brother.My sister.
No one helped.No one cared.
When my world fell apart, they watched.
I began to hate. Everything.
The darkness didn't just surround me—it took root in my heart.I didn't care where I was.I didn't care who lived here.I just wanted to destroy.I wanted revenge.But I was too weak…How could someone like me fight the mafia, the world, the gods?
There was only one thing left in my mind:"Kill."
I stood up, my body trembling with hunger and rage. The forest around me felt cold and unfamiliar.
After walking for a while, thirst burned in my throat. I heard running water—A river.
I ran toward it, fell to my knees, and drank desperately.
Then I saw my reflection.
A boy. Ten or eleven years old.Black hair. Pale skin.Black eyes that held no soul—only emptiness and bloodlust.
I didn't recognize that face.But it was me.
I walked until I saw people in the distance.I asked one of them, "Where… is this place?"
A man looked at me and replied:
"Near Hage Village, kid."
Hage Village?
That name… it wasn't from my world.The clothes… the wooden carts… the medieval air—
This wasn't Earth.
This was Black Clover.
A world from anime… a world of magic.
And just like that—My last hope for revenge crumbled.
I looked at the man again…I wanted to kill him.I wanted to erase everything.If this was some kind of second chance, I didn't want it.
But then… I saw a little girl step down from a cart.She looked just like my sister.
I froze.
The fury died, just for a moment.I turned away, silent, and walked toward the village—not because I cared, not because of the characters I knew…
I walked because I was hungry.
I arrived at a food stall and asked for something to eat.The man stared at me.
"Where's your money, kid?"
Only then did I remember…I had none.
"I don't have any," I said.
He shoved me away.
I tried another stall.Same thing.
One by one, they rejected me like trash.
I collapsed on the cold ground.Hungry. Freezing.On the edge of death once again.
I laughed.A broken, insane laugh.
"Am I doomed to die pointlessly… over and over again?"
That's when I heard a voice.
Soft.Concerned.
"Are you okay?!"
I blinked.
A woman… a nun… stood above me.Her voice, warm and distant, echoed in my mind as everything faded.
And once again…Darkness took me.
