Kuro no Maou

Kuro no Maou Chapter 1 – Awakening

Suddenly, as I awakened, the inside of the room was dark.

What, is it still night outside?

It’s not like I had a nightmare or something.
Well anyway, if it’s still night then I should go to sleep again, there is school tomorrow after all.
As I thought that, I felt a discomfort in my body.

Somehow, my body is awfully painful.

No, the bed I’m sleeping on is too hard due to which I am feeling pain everywhere.

There’s no way I would sleep here.
What’s wrong with me? Did I sleep in a weird posture and fell off my bed or something? Something like that has not happened to me since the time I was born……..

Anyway, as I thought of going back to my bed, my body—-didn’t move.

I realized that I was so completely paralyzed that not even a finger could be moved.
Is this the so called sleep paralysis? This is my first experience, but I would have been glad if this happened while I was at least lying on my bed because even though I can’t move my body, the sensation of the hard floor is perfectly transmitted.
As I was at a loss as to what should I do now, my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and the surroundings became clearer.

………Where the hell is this?

There, I finally noticed, that I was not sleeping in my room.
Still in a paralyzed state, my neck didn’t move but my eyes could so I surveyed my surroundings.

It was a completely empty room.
I’m probably lying in the middle of the room and other than me nothing existed inside this room of around 6 tatami mats.

In my view, not a single door existed either.
A fearful thought flew into my mind, that maybe I’m trapped in a room with not a single opening.

What is this? Seriously, where the hell is this? Why am I in this kind of situation?

A bad dream; is what I wanted to think but my consciousness is way too clear and even though I can’t move, the sensation of my body clearly exists.
I am unable to doubt that this is not real.

That, that’s right I think I am starting to remember some things—I wasn’t sleeping in my room, I was at school.
Right, I was at the clubroom after school.
I am a member of the literature club which doesn’t fit someone like me who has a big body and sharp eyes.
Inside the scarcely crowded club room I was excitedly thinking of writing my favourite type of chuuni filled light novel, no that’s not right, at that time I was alone with Shirasaki-san in an awkward atmosphere.

During that, out of nowhere I had a headache………and fainted, I think.

Somehow, the memories of the time when I got the headache and fell of my seat faintly came back to me.
With an overreaction like that, I caused Shirasaki-san unneeded worry.
Also, has my family been properly informed about this?

Leaving that aside, I fainted in the clubroom so is this a hospital? No, a hospital would never lay a patient on such a hard pedestal; even field hospitals don’t treat you that way.
Maybe they thought I died and was sent to the morgue? Even corpses are laid down on proper mats, or rather, my thoughts are leaping too far.
There is no way something like that would happen.

No, but that ‘not possible’ situation is exactly what I am in right now.
Just what kind of story is behind the reason that I was laid down in such a place? Could it be that I was kidnapped? Obviously, I have a normal family you can find anywhere.
My father is a civil servant and mother is a housewife.
Something like I am the son of a rich noble family, or prince of some country or some other extraordinary birth circumstances doesn’t exist.
The only thing extraordinary is probably the appearances of my parents.

But, something like a mix-up—-my further incoherent thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

Uooh, too bright!!

Suddenly,
