Introduction: The Ended World

Translated by Omkar

Edited by Omkar

When I realized it, I – Kyouya Kujo – was there.

A desolate wilderness.

Ruins standing like ghosts.

A world of desolation and death that continues on forever.

I have no idea where this place is. But one thing is absolutely certain, this is a place different from Earth.

Then the only thing I can think of…. is this the popular concept of “otherworldly transmigration”.

But I never expected to end up in a world where nothing exists.

I looked around again. The only thing that spreads out around me is scorched earth, devoid of any sign of life. Not a single cat or mouse is to be seen, let alone the people waiting to welcome me. It would have been more glamorous if I had been suddenly attacked by a demon.

I have an inkling of what I’m talking about. –I know that this is a world that has already ended.

I was bored and sat down. This wilderness continues no matter where I go. If so, there’s no point in walking. Perhaps it is my role to “create a new world out of nothing” with my skills. But unfortunately, I have no such creative talent. I have no goals, no dreams, and have simply wasted my days doing as I was told by adults. There is no way I can imitate God all of a sudden.

When I think about it, maybe this empty world does suit me in a way.

—Just as I was thinking this, the world that should have ended began to move noisily.

“――Welcome, O Hero. I have been waiting for you.”

Turning around, I saw a beautiful woman standing before me.

Jet-black hair as shimmering as the night sky, eyes so well-defined that they could be mistaken for carvings, a perfect body with not a single flaw, eyes so deep red that they seemed to absorb the viewer. It was as if she had absorbed every spark of life that once existed in this world…… a beauty that would not have been possible otherwise.

The woman’s voice is just as beautiful as her appearance, and she whispers happily with a bright smile on her face.

“―― Come on, kill me――”
