Then he said... oh, right! So I'm the new Devil now? Cool! Is that what this is? Uhhh, awesome! I don't really care about 'succumbing to the darkness' or whatever shit he said, but I think I already did, because my heart has already been won over by this magnificent power in my body! Damn, this is awesome!

Oh, look, my voice changed, too! I feel like I got a voice changer in my neck. Hmmm... the new Demon King, huh? Well, this ain't so bad. Hehehehehe...! I can't wait to try. "Hmmm... why don't I test it out?"

I reached my hand out to the shivering boy in front of me. He flinched, but it didn't seem like he could move to run away. Hmmm... his face seems familiar. Why?

...

...

...

No, I don't remember after all. What? I came out from a head-splitting fever, okay? You expect my mind to go fully online in, like, ten seconds? Geez, you're asking for too much.

I imbued the darkness in my veins to one single point on my forefinger. (A/N: Uhhh, I hate the word 'finger'. So... bleh... I hate it. Just thinking about the sound... the pronunciation... bleh.) A pattern, following the darkness channeled to my arm, was created. Lovely inscriptions dotted the black line, which felt vaguely familiar, but I paid no heed.

I grasped the boy's head below me, hard. I heard something shatter, and soon, black mist engulfed the boy. Huh?

An ear-shattering scream was heard from below. It was filled with agony, pain, sadness, disdain. I watched the process in interest, like a child watching its new toy function for the first time. The mist drew closer to the boy's body. Condensing and encasing his fair skin. The screams grew louder. Oooh! Wow! Cool! I pressed down harder and soon, the screams grew so loud I couldn't feel my eardrums anymore.

Damn you, just shut up already! I moved my other hand to his mouth and clamped it shut.

Soon, the mist dissipated. I caught a clear glimpse of the boy in front of me.

His eyes were hollow, hazy, dull. His body was covered in black, intrusive veins. His clothes were ripped and melted, and his mouth... oh, his mouth... it looked brutally mutilated.

Looking at the poor, grave sight gave me a clear sense of excitement. I felt the dark sparkles in my eyes grow more intense and started panting with blushing cheeks. "Ahahahaha! Being the Demon Queen is awesome!"

----

The people who I called filed into the room. They completely ignored the butchered, black oozing out corpse and were more focused on making sure that no one else tried to touch me. Such weird people.

I looked at Al who was holding my hand and looking quite down. He seemed disappointed. When I asked him what the problem was, he responded with a vague, 'When you're awake, I don't get to touch you, Sister...' I don't get it, he's touching me right now, I have such a weird little brother, he says such inane things.

"Ahem. I have an important announcement." I stood atop my bed and looked down to speak. "Hmmm... how should I say this?"

"Okay, first off, I think I killed Prince Naska." I gestured towards the corpse which they all ignored before. Lukewarm reactions rippled in the people around the room, consisting of, 'oh well, one less rival', 'I don't really care, though', and 'oh, this might start a war, what a pain to deal with'.

Seeing as the croud wasn't roaring in joy or anger, I decided to continue. "Second off, I'm hungry."

This caused quite a stir. Some fainted, while some were panicking. The worst ones, though, were the Others who took off their shirts and said, 'Do you want to eat me instead?' while pushing their toned abs towards me.

Bleh, men are the worst.

"And for my final announcement, I'm the Demon King."

"ALICE! IS THAT TRUE? ARE YOU REALLY?! GAHHH, I LOVE YOU! COME TO MY TOWER, WE'LL RUN SOME TESTS, THEN YOU CAN MARRY ME!" A rando popped out of nowhere and started hugging and swinging me around.

Oh, not rando. Sorry, that's offensive to randos. It's just Selen.

Wait, he loves me? Selen loves me? AHHH, KYAAA, DOKI DOKI! MY HEART GOES BADUMP! KYAAA! STARRY EYES AND BLUSHING CHEEKS! KYAAA! HOLDING MY HAND TO MY CHEST! ...And all that lovestruck shit. Hahaha, got you. I was just kidding.

"Yup, I'm the Devil now! Also, Selen, you're a pedo, get away from me." I channeled the demonic energy to my left hand and pushed him away. Oops. I think I killed him.

<Master, at your service.>

Oooh! Is that telepathy I hear?

A gray-haired black-eyed man appeared in front of me. Teleportation?

<Master, at your service.>

Is this telepathy?

<Yes. I can communicate with you via telepathy. I am also bound to you now, and can teleport to wherever you are. After all, you are my master.>

I frowned. I didn't like the idea of someone reading my thoughts and stalking me wherever I went. ...It'll be a quick death. I'll just hit him, then he'll die. No pain. Sorry, bro. I threw a punch, imbuing it with demonic aura, but I couldn't. My punch bounced off and I was propelled backwards. I hit the floorboards with a crash, breaking the wooden ground and falling to the floor below.

Damn. So I can't kill him? Great.

<It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Master Alice. My name is Miro Alazan, your personal attendant from now on~>

"You could've asked me why I broke your heart~ You could've told me that you fell apart~ But you walked past me like I wasn't there~ And just pretended like you didn't care~ I don't know why I run away~ I'll make you cry when I run away~ Take me back 'cause I wanna stay~ Save your tears for another~ Save your tears for another day~ Save your tears for another day~"

I started singing out of the blue, lying on the marble floor with my black hair splayed out around me, surrounded by debris from breaking the wooden floor, with empty eyes.
