Chapter 1: Resurrection

Itachi awoke in a place that defied all sense of reality. Floating amidst the vast expanse of space and time, he felt disoriented and overwhelmed. Hours passed as he desperately tried to discern his surroundings, searching for any sign of an escape from this incomprehensible limbo.

Suddenly, a figure approached him, an ethereal woman named Edith, who exuded an aura of immense power. She introduced herself as the God of Life, and Itachi couldn't help but be captivated by her presence.

Edith then explained to Itachi about what happened.

"So you're saying that I died in my world," Itachi began, his voice tinged with disbelief, "and just because I was a good person, you're going to reincarnate me into another world as the 879th Demon King?"

Edith nodded solemnly. "Yes, Itachi," she said. "Your actions in your previous life have earned you this opportunity to start anew in a different realm. But before I send you off to the other world, I shall grant you one wish."

Itachi pondered his wish carefully. The weight of this moment hung heavy on his shoulders. Finally, he spoke, his resolve unwavering. "I wish to keep my abilities and to gain new ones," he declared.

A blinding flash of light engulfed Itachi, and before he could even react, he found himself falling downward through a seemingly endless void. As the world below rushed to meet him, he braced himself for the unknown journey that awaited him as the 879th Demon King.

"You know, she never warned me about falling from the sky," Itachi remarked.

Itachi gazed upon the horizon, revealing a breathtaking kingdom encircled by a magnificent cityscape.

"When she mentioned 'Demon King,' this certainly wasn't what I had in mind," he mused.

Setting aside his concerns for the moment, he focused on a more immediate problem - finding a way to survive this unexpected fall.

After a safe landing on solid ground, Itachi found himself encircled by a group of armored knights. Among them, a young lady stepped forward, bowing respectfully. She then raised her head and spoke with reverence, "Welcome home, Demon King."
