[BL] I Will Be Your Number 1 Devotee!

Half an hour before everything started.

There were piles of things all around Eros. Immediately, he threw a big sack and dragged it to the place. A closer look revealed a lot of sacks, a lot of strange things, wires, a big mattress, and a big tube.

It looked as if someone had lived there.

Eros patted his hand and walked out of the place. The further he walked, the more he found a stream that led directly to a lake, right where a big tree was. Seeing this place at night would give some people goosebumps, but if you saw it in the daytime, it would definitely be very beautiful.

Isn't it?

With a piece of candy in his mouth, Eros left the forest and found Quella's house. While everyone else put their houses far away from the forest, only Quella bravely lived there. Before Eros knocked on the door, the front door opened and an old woman's voice said, "Welcome."

"Ung." Eros nodded. Quella was sitting on her usual bench with a book, which she immediately closed. Quella blinked, "Why did you not sit down?"

"Because you weren't asked...?"

"...Don't be so stiff. I'm your grandmother, you know. Sit down, I want to know what's going on out there."

"Ung!" Eros, hearing this, immediately nodded and sat down on the sofa where Eriu usually sat. Quella turned to Eros, "Did they see you?" Eros immediately shook his head, "No!"

"They didn't see me, it's just..."

"It's just that...?"

"Um, the situation is very chaotic. A lot of people I've never seen before have gathered in front of Eri's house..." Eros' head ducked. A small book immediately fell on Eros' head, "Ouch... Huh?" Eros was startled and immediately raised his head to see Quella staring at him sternly. "Remember, none of this is your doing."

"Ramiel gave you his blessing, right? So what are you afraid of?" Quella said firmly. When Eros told her that the one who told the folklore of the Peacon Kingdom was Ramiel, Quella immediately realized that Eros was quite an important child. After the Grith family, Quella came not long ago, about 10 years ago. When she arrived, she was immediately rejected by the villagers. She only wanted to stay for one night. But because she found a note from a person named Grace, she was immediately interested and tried to investigate what happened to this village.

To be honest, before the appearance of Eros, she wanted to leave this village. But suddenly there was a child named Eros who immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, unlike the others, he was welcomed with open arms, and everyone had the same words when they talked about Eros.

They were very happy about this child.

But suddenly strange rumors were heard and many strange things happened, making Eros the scapegoat for all that happened. 

Even stranger was the disappearance of Grace's notebook just as Eros appeared.

Therefore, she always thought that Eros was like the main character in a fairytale. His mysterious appearance, his mysterious behavior.

Everything was answered as soon as Ramiel's name was mentioned by Eros himself.

Ramiel is one of the 14 most powerful Deus. His existence was not seen again for centuries. She used to think that this village was just a remote village that hadn't been discovered, but she was completely wrong. This village was not remote, but a village that had been deliberately erased from the world.

The village where Ramiel's existence was, where his worshippers lived until now.

"...No, I just..."

BOOM-!

An immediate explosion rang out, shaking the surrounding area. Scream after scream rang out.

"GET OUT, YOU DEMON!"

"IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE CAUSE, GET OUT!"

Scream after scream contained only evil words hurled at the 6-year-old. Are they even human? Or do they consider themselves to be exceptional?

Even though they are criminals who are just hitchhiking. Passengers who never realized they had crossed the line.

Quella frowned and stood up immediately, pointing at the sofa telling Eros to stay there. The book that always flew next to Quella appeared, but the difference was that a picture of an eye was visible on the page. She deliberately made people look at the picture of eyes that seemed to be staring at them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?" Her voice was hoarse, but the scream had already made people unsure of coming forward.

"YOU DARE TO MESS WITH MY HOUSE AND STILL EXPECT ME TO HEAL YOU AGAIN, DREAM ON! LOOK AT THE STATE OF MY HOUSE NOW!"

"But, Grandma-"

"BUT, BUT, GO NOW!"

"Don't be like that, Grandma, we just want you to give us the child and we'll leave right away!" The man at the front opened his mouth and everyone nodded.

Eros, who only heard his voice, already knew who this man was, he was one of the dead woman's friends. This man would do anything to catch him.

Brukk-!!!

"Oww!!!" The groan of one of the people whose head was suddenly hit by a book caused the others to turn their heads to him before looking up at the sky.

"Think smarter before you challenge me, you young people of today!" Books fell from the sky and landed on the many people in front of her house. Quella clicked her tongue irritably, "Tch. Read some book or fairy tale books and find the meaning of the contents of the book before you come to challenge me, you stupid!"

"Maybe the fairy tale books you underestimate can add knowledge to your little brains!"

"Madam, stop protecting this immoral child! We just want to punish him, and you won't be involved." The village chief, Reliun, helped the people convince the grandmother to listen to their request.

Quella, who immediately noticed Reliun's presence, furrowed her brow even more, "You too, Chief?"

Before it was too late, Eros touched his left hand, a stinging sensation was felt and a screen opened in front of him as text after text appeared.

Eros deftly typed on the screen in front of him.

[It is quite bold of you to say that your village is the safest of all villages.] 

[They want to kill me just because their harvest is decreasing.]

[And]

[I suggest you don't come here, you better find Axel, soon they'll finish him off.]

Bang!

After that, Eros immediately turned off the screen and ran quickly to push Quella. Immediately, a very loud banging sound was heard, "Keughh!" With his stomach being hit at an extremely high speed, Eros could not help but spit out blood. 

The man who had been talking softly immediately activated the magic in his shoes that made him move faster, the man didn't care about anything and was already tired of seeing the hag who kept babbling. What he wanted now was the boy. The man immediately grabbed Eros by the neck and made him look at him, "It's a good thing your face isn't damaged, they would have gotten mad at me." The man immediately smiled broadly and pulled out a knife, "If you come any closer, this hag will die. 

After saying this, several other people stepped forward and protected the man.

Eros' neck was wrapped around a chain and he was soon dragged along with the man.

Everyone immediately fell silent and shocked, feeling that they realized something, even the village chief's face turned pale.

Quella struggled with all her might as her hands were tied, "Don't just stand there, you fool! If you still want your god to forgive you, you better act now. Eros-!" Reliun was surprised and immediately shut Quella's mouth.

Because he knew the truth and he was ready if the god was angry. The people who finally realized what was going on tried to save Quella, but at that moment, a knife pierced their heads.

People who covered their heads with faceless masks.

Everyone was silent in fear as they dared not move the flying book with one eye still open, staring at them from above. 

The eyes moved from right to left.

At the same time, Eros, who was walking in the forest and being watched by several people, lowered his head, but his mouth was curved, showing a mischievous smile on his face.

As if he was playing games with everyone.

.

.

.

Eriu turned his head to the left and right, immediately noticing the sound of screaming everywhere, hearing it alone made him a headache, not to mention the smell of gunpowder spreading everywhere.

The smell of gunpowder?

His face turned pale, what about Noah? Did Amiley survive at all? Why did the village turn like this? Where is that demon? Just as his thoughts were falling apart, he heard laughter. That annoying laughter that even he hated to hear.

The laughter that was very similar to the laughter of those bastards.

Surprisingly, without the help of the demon, his eyesight was sharp, he seemed to be able to explore the depths of the forest just by looking. His heart was beating abnormally, and a strange fear returned as if he was being haunted. Slowly, his vision saw a building filled with corpses and blood, before returning to normal as a forest. At the far end, a girl stood and looked at him with a sweet smile. Her hand pointed forward and disappeared. 

Eriu immediately walked in the direction the girl was pointing and narrowed his piercing eyes. Soon he saw a boy standing in front of an adult. He strangled the boy half to death, as the adult's only pleasure was to see him in pain.

Only then did he hear the sound of groans of excruciating pain. 

His feet ran unconsciously. As if he had to remember everything, his chest felt very tight. From a woman to a boy.

The same sentence came out of their mouths.

A simple sentence that he could not forget even now.

Suddenly, the vision disappeared and was replaced by his view, which changed as he stared from the top of the forest and saw Eros standing in front of the adults, half of whom were naked. His paused steps soon returned, and now he was running faster than before.

That demon, definitely that demon, but where is he?

On a flying book, staring down at them all.

Before became ashes.

Pay for your existence, burn all your souls. For the sake of the knowledge that looks at the cruel truth. 

Play music, read stories, deliver letters, no matter who it is. You are the knowledge, walk the path you believe in and see the world with your eyes.

And never shut your eyes to this world.

"We have to use him, right?" The man who had brought Eros to them was silent for a few minutes as he looked at him. He smiled after saying that ambiguous sentence and immediately took off his shirt.

"?"

"What is this crazy guy talking about?"

"Well, well!"

The young man stood behind them, staring at his surroundings as if they were crazy, but he could not open his mouth. The reason... the reason, was that he did not want to interfere. 

And it wasn't the first time, even if something happened, the higher-ups didn't care.

Eros stood silently and stared at them. Ramiel herself told him that the slavery of her time was the worst slavery she had ever experienced.

They kidnapped everyone, even for no reason, just because someone wanted them. Anyone could be kidnapped to be a wife or husband, anyone could be raped in the middle of the street, murdered, exploited, and so on.

Their belief in lust, wealth, and position is excessive.

And that's when they blame fate.

Fate is very cruel when it comes to making people remember their lives.

It makes them wonder why fate made their lives so unhappy and miserable. Because we who had a future were destroyed by someone who just wanted to play with other people's lives.

Thinking of us as cattle.

The blood-red eyes stared ahead with an unfocused look. His world returned to the color red, the smell of blood, and the hatred of seeing the same thing over and over again.

If someone asked me what is the greatest sin you've ever committed? I would immediately answer.

Because I'm a narrow-minded person.

That's who I am. The real me is not 'Eriu Grith', the little boy who always says he will continue to use morality to act. I was the one who decided to become a villain just to satisfy my anger.

Before my death, besides playing games under the guise of romance, I was always looking for stories that had elements of time travel, revenge, and victory.

Maybe some people don't realize it, but by looking for stories with these genres, they are saying out loud that they want to escape their real lives and hope to one day become one of the people in the story. Even if the story that appears is always the same with the same ending, they will not be bored because a story can make them become the main character in that story. Being a hero, saving the world, being loved, even their love stories always have a happy ending.

And I was one of them.

Then the question came up, if you could go back in time, what would you do?

I wouldn't open the website with the full text of the scholarship. That way we would still be alive and maybe I could confess my feelings to her one last time.

Seeing Eros beaten so badly made me remember my past and I hated every single memory of it. I hate those who think that everything can be solved with an apology. That was the sentence I hated the most in my whole life. With that sentence alone, they will never learn the meaning of true fear. Only when they are backed into a corner do they apologize. The most sincere apology? After hitting, killing, or beating someone?

But after the feeling of threat is gone, what will they do?

That's right, indifference. Those bastards are just sleeping on a luxury bed, to hell with the law, they don't even know that the law exists.

Those bastards are like children who think they can get away with it by saying they are just children.

Because when I beat those kids, I became me, not 'Eriu Grith' who thinks morally. 'Eriu Grith' is just a name and personality I made up with my common sense, and I will never be 'Eriu Grith'.

I'm just an ordinary person who thinks narrowly, can't do everything perfectly, can't solve all the problems.

I'm not the character named 'Eriu Grith', the character who is very understanding with his friend, the character who can trust everyone, the character who can endure being insulted. 

Even though he died, that character still appears in every story in the game.

I was also a very important character to her. She always said that I was the best, that I was the most precious person to her. That's why I want to see her even for a second, I want to talk to her again and tell her...

That I will never forget her. Forever.

Under the sunlight, he sat in the backyard, staring thoughtfully at the sky, a light breeze was felt, and the leaves on the ground floated in the direction of the wind. In the blink of an eye, the little girl standing near the forest looked at him playfully with a big smile on her face. The girl immediately ran into the forest. 

On the day he felt that the world was so fast, the girl appeared as if to say that she was the only one who would remain frozen in time.

He immediately got up and ran after the girl, trying to reach her. She stopped and stood next to the boy, who sat curled up with wounds all over him.

"...Eros? What happened?" he froze before running over to Eros. Eros instantly gasped in surprise and slowly raised his head, those pink eyes glazed over and he immediately burst into tears.

Seeing Eros that day reminded him of the time he cried loudly in front of that girl.

'If anyone is ignorant of you, hit him back, don't forget to count the people you hit, because I will do it twice, Kay!'

While picking up the stone in his robe pocket, Eriu accidentally dropped a rain flower. Running with all his might, Eriu threw the stone at the two people who were laughing as if victory was in their hands.

"Two." The stone went right through the two men's heads, and red blood immediately surrounded the forest.

"Five."

The numbers kept going up and up.

"Eight."

Those red eyes stared ahead, that he was the most righteous, that his doing this was the right thing to do. 

"Eleven."

A number that drove him crazy to kill them even more.

When he almost reached where Eros was, Eriu climbed up the tree, and at that moment, his eyes counted the people with wands.

Yawn...

Eros yawned like he was bored, even the fear in his eyes disappeared.

"No wonder they often call you mindless two-legged creatures." Eros immediately crossed his arms and looked bored at the crowd, "It turns out that these creatures don't use their brains properly."

"Hah!?"

"Heh, that kid doesn't know he's so lucky now!"

"Aren't you a biped yourself, huh?"

Just before Eros was hit, screams of pain could be heard everywhere, stone after stone aimed directly at their eyes. Red blood with a fishy smell splashed everywhere.

The man's left eye was shattered and he immediately fell down. Even so, the man was still breathing, and he began to scream in pain. The man who had been standing confidently could only whimper. 

While everyone was panicked and scared, especially since some of them were foolishly not wearing clothes, they could be killed instantly by the rocks that flew at them at an incredible speed.

Unfortunately, he could not hear their voices.

He made a deliberate leap forward, deliberately allowing those people to see him. Standing on the corpses was a girl who was smiling happily.

Look, I'm going to hit them twice!

Stab!

His hand stopped, and a small knife went straight through his heart. The moment his eyes closed, he had already fallen out of the tree. Eros, who tried to run towards Eriu, was immediately stopped by two people who pulled his hand. The young man who had been standing still pointed a folding knife in front of him.

"Hurry up and get in!"

Even though he was being forcibly pulled, Eros still tried to run in front of Eriu. 

Slowly, Eriu's vision blurred, and at that moment, he used a crushed magic stone. Everyone who saw Eros gasped in fear. Well, if they saw that demon, they would surely be afraid as well.

"Go!"

Immediately, a memory that should never have existed appeared at the last second.

"Get out of here!"

Same words, same situation, but in a time that will never be.

"Fate."

Around them, illuminated by fireflies, a beautiful boy cried as he ran after him.

Erm, what's your name?

The boy blinked his wet pink eyes, seemingly hesitating before telling the truth.

"I'm... I'm Fate."

A meeting that even he did not know if it was real or not.

.

"I like you."

"Forever, I will always like you!!!" The boy in front of him smiled broadly while clasping his hands. His heart beat so fast.

Even at their first meeting, his heart was beating every second of every minute, as if he was really in love.

.

The boy opened his mouth when he realized that he was hiding behind the wall.

Go.

I'll be back soon, don't worry about me.

The adult who was choking him punched the boy's face until it bled, but the adult smiled as if he could control the boy.

While he was trying to prevent it, he was suddenly transported to a place far away from there. Suddenly, a mighty thunderbolt struck the place. Only the smell of burning could be smelled.

He ended up staring at the spot where the lightning continued to strike.

.

"You, why did you lie to me?"

When he returned to the cave, the boy greeted him with a happy smile. But his question caused the smile to fade.

There was only confusion in the boy's eyes.

Before his eyes closed, the color red was clearly visible and Eros called his name and rubbed his face. Immediately, a black color circled his vision and a robot voice was heard telling him to run.

[Ztt, run, ztt, master, run-!]

Everyone immediately looked up at the sky, the stars shining brightly like the sun. They couldn't take their eyes off it, the white light above was falling at full speed, intent on destroying everything.

A woman standing in the middle of a pool of blood could only widen her eyes.

This power was the same as the power she felt when she saw the fountain.

It was scary, yet beautiful.

The world instantly turned white, and people stood like statues, some melting and others turning to dust. In the middle of the crowd, a black-haired boy smiled mischievously at the white-haired boy.

His white hair was truly beautiful as if it captured the full color of harmony in that white. The boy smiled softly as he rubbed Eriu's face. His hand held a clock with an arrow at two o'clock.

"Disgusting." The long black-haired youth looked at him sarcastically, but the boy ignored him, "Do you think he'll forgive you just because you're chasing him now?"

"And what does that have to do with you?" He immediately replied, "Nothing. You are just jealous of me."

He lifted his eyes and looked at the young man before him with a happy smile.

"Because you can never be me."

"Even if you try to be the most important person in his life, you will never beat me."

The young man frowned but said nothing.

"It is not you, but me who will always be chosen by him."

"Because I am his."

The young man's gaze instantly turned cold, he stared at Eriu before turning. At every step, confetti appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the young man disappeared into the falling confetti.

[You are my cosmos, my destiny, and... my first love. I promise to love you every moment, every time, even every minute of my life, so will you be with me?"] The black-haired youth leaned the flower arrangement in front of the yellow-haired youth.

You said I was your first love. Then you must take responsibility for what you have done to me.

So don't expect me to stop.
