The demon king is innocent: SB

“If the only way to live peacefully is to make up for everything he had done in the past even if I don’t remember a thing. Then I’ll atone for every last one of the demon king’s sins.” Somniya awakens without a trace of memory—no recollection of his name, his origins, or his identity. However, it’s swiftly discovered that he is the once-feared merciless tyrant. The Demon King. That after taking over the world left nothing but pain suffering and turmoil in his wake. Corruption, evil beasts, famine, war, murder, slavery, gangs, captivity. Everything evil in the world lead back to the devilish smile on this man's face. Although now the body of the demon king inhabited by a whole new being stripped of his well-renowned might and left oblivious to his past, he is no more than a pitifully powerless human, with no one at his side facing the bloodthirsty fury of the world. No one by his side but one single girl Eve that has been by that side for years with no intention to leave it any time soon. The world is thrown into disarray by the sudden absence of its supreme leader, and plunges into chaos as many try to attain his throne whilst others seek revenge for his uncountable unredeemable actions. As Somniya and Eve grapple with the monumental task of holding the fractured world together, they must confront the fallout of the Demon King’s reign and untangle the enigma behind this mysterious curse, whilst also attempting to make right of the demon kings evils across the world, in chase of peace and redemption of his name. All in the chase of peace for both himself and the world. But how far can the world forgive those sins, how far can they quench their hatred.

Innocent after all

Sheathing her sword and wrapping it in a white fabric held together by a blue ribbon Eve throws its handle over her shoulder.

"Okay, we didn't bring much so that's about everything." She says lifting a small white carrier bag. It had some kind of diamond-shaped rune in the centre. 

"Are you sure, I think our armour will derive a lot of attention." Somniya points out sizing out his shoulder pads and gauntlets with his hand, trying to hide his deep pride over his wisdom, although it very obviously bled through the tone in his voice. 

"Oh, you're right- for once." Eve retorts before stretching out her open hand. "Here give them to me pass the breastplate as well." 

Somniya picks up the breastplate, which was still leaning against the wall from the time he just narrowly escaped being devoured. 

"This is pretty large armour not tryna doubt you or anything, but I think carrying a hunk of armour around gathers a bit more attention than just wearing it," Somniya adds trying to make an addition to the pride overflowing within himself. 

Maybe Eve wasn't as smart as he thought. 

 

 Evaluating the breastplate at least double the size of the bag not including the fact it was already holding some other items. 

Her eyebrows twitching with impatience Eve swiftly snatches the armour piece from his palms. 

 By the time Somniya had drawn his eyes back to Eve she plopped the breastplate into the bag casually raising an eyebrow and tightening her lips emanating an obvious passive-aggressive 'I told you so.' 

After a brief blue light, the breastplate disappeared into the small bag, and Somniya's eyes widened beaming in fascination. 

 Resting her left hand on her hip whilst the bag in her right hand drops to her side Eve explains with a deep sigh, 

 

"You really don't remember anything do you... well, it's a boundless bag, although it does have its limit of course but it all depends on your mana. 

 The more mana you have to use on it the larger objects you can carry without the weight increasing. Here take the other pieces off." 

After repeating the same action twice more, both times amazing Somniya just as much as the first, Somniya points out "What about your armour?" 

"Oh yeah, ha-ha almost forgot about that." Eve chuckles as she throws her breastplate over herself and kicks the steel leggings off casually as if she were at home, turning round to place both pieces into the bag she is met by Somniya's stunned gaze. 

Somniya could feel his face blushing profusely although it was already far out of his control. Though his mind couldn't care less for right now with the reward that he had just received. 

Unable to put a finger on what had made Somniya so stunned Eve tilts her head in confusion, and slowly as her eyes roll further and further down Eve's blossom pink cheeks and trembling wide-open mouth with an embarrassed look of disbelief only increase further and further. 

 

She had completely exposed her breasts to Somniya the only thing between them and his gaze, a thin piece of pink linen fabric. 

 Standing stunned for a few more seconds her face pink with embarrassment, rapidly turned red with anger "You damned pervert!" she shrieked drawing back her fist. 

"Wait, wait you're the one that decided to show me, if anything you're the pervert!" Somniya squealed jumping backwards although already coming to terms with what was coming he prayed. 

 Not considering Somniya's logic for a moment she thrusts her fist forward, planting it directly in the centre of Somniya's face, with such force it seemed as if her fist was now emitting steam from her knuckles as it flew, and it had left a dent in his face for a while. 

Somniya was thrown back to the bed, he lay there counting the stars for a moment, as Eve let out a scornful "hmph," proceeding to hide her chest with both hands guarding them against any further violation by Somniya's eyes. 

Now wearing a predominantly black puffy flower dress with white petals, the same blue skirt and some brown boots, her body was completely safe from Somniya's peeving eyes. "Ok, it's time to get out of this city." 

Ready to place his complete faith in Eve Somniya eagerly questions "Aye-ay, and what's the plan after that?" 

"I don't know but hurry we got to move now we don't know how long we have before people get too desperate to see-" 

His anticipation utterly decimated Somniya's eyes and tone dropped to the floor, 'she was completely clueless' "What so your plan is just to run? Run for how long?!" 

"I don't know..." Eve mumbled back, beginning to search the room for anything they may be leaving behind whilst also trying to distance herself as far as possible from that question burning her mind just as much as Somniya's. 

She had influenced Somniya to put all his faith into absolutely nothing and all she can say is she doesn't know. "Where even to, how far?" Somniya questioned once again taking a step closer to Eve who hesitantly took a step away, refusing to lock eyes. 

"I don't know..." Eve repeated in a similar low tone pulling out a red scarf from the cupboard. 

"My life is already at stake here, and am I meant to live the rest of my life just running, you've lived your entire life in this world havent you, why don't you know anything?!-" 

"I DON'T KNOW!" Eve bellowed thrashing the bag to the ground in frustration, as she stamped her foot forward towards Somniya shaking the room. 

Her anger finally overflowing Eve roars almost touching her eyes with Somniya "I don't know! I hardly got anything figured out, my friend all of a sudden goes from being the all-powerful ruler of the world to a worthless defenceless coward with the mask of a god, you have no one else but me and I'm the one going out of my way to help you whilst the rest of the world wants you dead!" 

Go out and die if that's what you want for all I care!" Her burning rage heated the rest of the room, making the air so thin Somniya failed to utter a single word in response.

Finally taking a breath Eve turns around uttering "Maybe I was wrong... you're still a demon." as she folds her arms intentionally avoiding any type of retort not even mere eye contact. 

After standing stunned for a moment from Eve's raging rant Somniya tuts as he turns towards the door and aggressively throws his hand to the handle. "You think just like the doctor huh? Well just the same as with him,

I don't need you." 

Instantly regretting her harsh words Eve rushes to turn back "Wait Somniya I-" 

There's no way Eve was his only option there's no way this bitch is the only one I can rely on "I refuse to believe out of every person on the planet people only think like you." 

His stomps echoing through the hallway Somniya marched forward leaving the room of guaranteed security slowly fading behind him, his rage-filled face void of concern, although with little to no idea of where he was going. 

The hallway had a plush, intricately patterned carpet running the length of the hallway, a sequence of windows letting in the dimming sun on the right whilst finely crafted wooden doors with polished brass handles led to various rooms on the left. 

Suddenly a slender lonely man in a purple suit with finely combed black straight hair slowly wandered from around the corner at the end of the hallway causing Somniya to jump for a moment finally piercing through his previous sure stern body language revealing a severely on edge and confused boy.

"Oh, it's you I suppose the rumours are true anyone would notice at a glance." the man stated not removing his hands from his pocket nor taken any further steps towards Somniya.

"Huh?" Somniya gulped. 

"You lost your memory it's dumb enough to just stroll around like that but what's dumber is that you haven't already ended yourself." The man elaborated his calm voice exuding dominance over Somniya's shivering syllables. 

 

"...!" 

 

"You should've found out who you were by now, how haven't you decided to just do everyone a favour and end it? The slightest chance of redemption you hold." 

"Are-are you going to kill me?" Somniya shuddered taking a step back defensively preparing himself to flee at the moment of a movement to quick for his liking.

"No, I won't kill you myself, I'll leave you to hopefully realise your best option yourself at some point, why would I tear away your one chance of atoning for everything you had done. Everyone deserves a chance at forgivness eventhough its quite unlikely in your case regardless." 

Somniya runs forwards cloaking his pain with anger he curses "Fuck you!" as he dashes past the man, his eyes clenched shut. 

Somniya finally makes it out after a frustrating eternity, taking in a deep breath of fresh air in of the sun set Somniya satisfyingly stretches out his arms. "Okay who should I acquaintance myself with now that bitch is gone-" 

 

Suddenly Somniya heard a friendly beckon from behind, "Hey you!" 

It was easier than he thought, but he had done it he had shown her, there was more people he could talk to, people that he could share his pains and worries with, people that could sympathise with him, people that could help and understand him.

Because he was innocent he hadn't done anything wrong there's no reason for him to receive such blatant unconditional hate not to talk form the entire world, it was impractical cruel and plainly impossible.

After all he was innocent.

It was all quite sudden but he'd get to know them, it all starts with a

"Uh hi I'm Somni-" 

 

*Bash!* 

 

Somniya's head is flung backwards, the rest of his body soon following suit collapsing to the ground and forcefully kissing the dirt. 

"I know exactly who you are, everyone knows exactly who you are. We've all been waiting for your slow ass to get out." The man clarifies clenching the fist just used to slug Somniya into the dirt, as more and more people begin crowding behind him. 

No I swear this is not ecchi
