In his reborned life, he was a Demon King, but now he wants a fresh start as an ordinary person in a new world. However, things go awry, and he ends up in a novel world where the author himself is part of the story. Trying to recall his past lives, he only remembers one where he was an ordinary person on Earth.
Deep within the heart of the jungle, where the dense canopy blocked out much of the sunlight, lay a serene oasis—a tranquil lake hidden amidst the towering trees.
Hidden beneath the murky surface of the lake, a predator lay in wait, its patience unyielding as it awaited an opportunity—a prey. Concealed among the shadows, it surveyed the surroundings with keen eyes, its instincts honed to detect any sign of vulnerability. And then, in that moment, two weary land creatures stumbled upon its domain.
The first one, with drooping shoulders and heavy steps, appeared weary and young, his exhaustion evident from the strain of their journey through the dense jungle.
His companion, echoing his fatigue, moved with a similar sluggishness, their faces marked by the weight of exhaustion.
