《A tale of a student who rose to be the king and was greatly feared》


 The princess appears! Only one with high IQ can pull this plan off!

    ¡°Arghhh!! This floating car sure is hard to drive! It¡¯s harder to drive than it was to steal!!¡±


    I laughed, even though I was completely alone in my stolen car. The ROBO-police sure did hate me, but hey, what other way could I come to school? I¡¯m just a poor struggling delinquent boy of sixteen years of age with floppy black hair and of the height of 170 cm.


    I hopped out of my fancy stolen car that I had stolen and stepped into the campus of probably the nicest school you have ever seen. Imagine the coolest fantasy school, only make it more cool. But the looks of the school are far from the best part about it, and no, I¡¯m not going to say the classes are the best part, because I skip almost all of them. No, the best part of the school is the uniforms¡­ the girl¡¯s uniforms. The delicately sewn miniskirts¡­the beautiful knee-high socks¡­..they could even make old Miss. Hrenson, the mid twenties woman who runs one of the bars in the city, look cute! And that''s saying a lot¡­.she¡¯s basically a hag.


    ¡°Hey!!! Kagero-kun!! What are you doing spacing out like that! Didn¡¯t you hear the bell???¡±


    A cute voice approached my ears. I could recognize that voice from twenty miles away. My sporty childhood friend has had a crush on me my entire life.


    ¡°Ne, ne, do you even hear me??? Helllllo~¡±


    A cute girl of about my age stood in my field of view, cutely leaning down with her hands clasped behind her back, she wore her long orange hair in a messy ponytail that ran down to just above her shoulders.


    ¡°Hey Tatsumi¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡±


    She puffed out her cheeks in a cute pout.


    ¡°You weren¡¯t listening to anything I said! Come on, follow me!¡±


    I can¡¯t believe her, she¡¯s very pretty yet she has such a short temperature! You¡¯d never guess that under her cute and bubbly looks she was actually quite feisty! As Tatsumi ran to the school building I slowly followed in a casual walk. I had no reason to rush to a stupid school that I skipped over half of what they taught. The only reason I rushed to come every day was so that I could see Tatsumi.


    ¡°What¡¯s taking you so long~¡±


    ¡°Fine, fine. I¡¯m coming.¡±


    Sigh, she is sometimes so difficult¡­.yet she also is so endearing. Maybe today could be the day I asked her to date me.


    ¡°Hey, Tatsumi. I have something extremely important I want to tell you. Can you talk to me for a bit behind the school?¡±


    ¡°Un, but what about?¡±


    She tilted her head in confusion. Sometimes Tatsumi is too cute.


    ¡°Uhhh umm¡­.. You¡¯ll know soon?¡±


    ¡°Teehee~ Alright then Kagero-kun!¡±


    After a bit of walking we arrived behind the school. I hate to admit it but I was constantly fidgeting with the ring I had bought for Tatsumi, I was extremely nervous. As I slowly faced Tatsumi my legs shook.


    ¡°Um, ok. So uhhhhhhh¡­.without further ado I guess I should just spit it out¡­so. Ummmmmmm so, basically do you want to go on a date?¡±


    I cringed at myself. I was so awkward. Although I didn¡¯t even mean what I was saying, it was still so hard to act this awkward.


    ¡°D¡­..d.d.d.d..d¡­..date?!? Wh..what!! I never¡­.I never would have guessed!¡±


    Tatsumi covered her face in her hands as her cheeks turned bright red. I never would have guessed that this sporty girl who is also sometimes feisty is the sort of girl who gets flustered by romance! Somehow, this makes her even cuter.


    ¡°Welll¡­¡­..I¡­I ummmmmm¡­¡±


    Tatsumi cutely shook her head as she tried to find the right words.


    Heh, I¡¯m a very naturally confident person, so this is a good excuse to show Tatsumi my cooler side. I placed my hand on her shoulder.


    ¡°Hey, you just have to say yes or no, ya know!¡±


    She bashfully looked down and cutely swallowed, then she looked back up at me, her adorable bright yellow eyes, wide and loving, her rosy cheeks shone in the sunlight. She was downright adorable¡­to say the least.


    ¡°I¡­.um¡­yes.¡±


    She quickly said that then cutely ran away, back towards the school building. Well, that was a new side of Tatsumi I have never seen before. I can¡¯t say it makes her any less cute though. So since she¡¯s officially my girlfriend, this will hopefully further my plan!


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    ¡°I guess I should go to a class or something¡­ not like I have anybody to talk to. My many friends are probably performing an intergalactic heist with space pirates since they are part of a teenage delinquent gang. I am also part of this gang, but I decided to stay back for this heist so I could confess to Tatsumi. Phew, now that that¡¯s done though I don¡¯t know what to do.¡±


    I mumbled to myself as I wandered in the vague direction of the school building. As I was walking I glanced into the sky. The sky was still blue, however I could see many moving lights, most likely trading spaceships. The trade routes with the different planets is one of the most main sources of income for earth. However, we don¡¯t just import things to other planets, we also rely a lot on imported goods. WIthout these trade routes we probably could not build all of our motherships. I know a lot about these huge motherships since my gang stole a big one and used it as a space pirate base.


    Suddenly a bright light shone in the sky, as if the sun itself was exploding. I squinted my eyes to see more clearly and was shocked to see a huge mecha falling down onto the school. It fell into the atmosphere, rather more smoothly than I would have thought, and then not so gracefully fell into the school, crushing it all under the giant robot.


    ¡°AUUUGHHHHEEEEHHHHH!!!!¡±


    I screamed as the entire building crashed to the ground. I ran towards the building but quickly stopped in my tracks as one of the mecha¡¯s huge hands blocked my way. Why would it block my path? Tatsumi could be dying at this very moment and I can¡¯t even get to her. I angrily punched the huge hand, but that didn¡¯t help anything.


    ¡°Get out of my way, you stupid robot! My entire plan is falling apart!¡±


    I could feel my delinquent self getting the better of me. I tried to calm myself, but it didn¡¯t work.


    ¡°GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!¡±


    I screamed and threw out many useless punches.


    SCREEEECH


    A loud sound hit my ears as the head of the mecha slowly opened. Inside was a petite girl with bright blue twintails reaching down to her toes.


    She opened her mouth in a yawn, stretching her arms out. Who knew a yawning girl could be so overwhelmingly adorable.


    ¡°Yawwwwn~ Oh~ Did my mecha crashhhh. I guess I really did fall asleep~ My mistake~~¡±


    The Girl¡¯s voice was high pitched, but she talked in some sort of lazy drawl. It seemed uncharacteristic of her but somehow it sounded pretty good.


    ¡°Ohhhh, sorry~ I guess I should move my mecha~ I¡¯ll just be a bit just waaait.¡±


    She lazily pressed a couple buttons and then the robot got up. Leaving the completely broken down school in plain sight. She really did just destroy the entire school in one quick movement.


    ¡°Ohhhhhh¡­I guess your school is kind of destroyed right now~ oops, hehe. Hmmmm.¡±


    She paused, seemingly trying to remember something.


    ¡°Oh, uh. Who are you?¡±


    Me? Oh, of course she¡¯s talking to me. Everyone else in the school is probably dead.


    ¡°I am named Kagero Hirako. I am fifteen years old and I am a teenage delinquent. My original goal was to be the ruler of the world, but since that would be too easy, my new goal is to become the ruler of the universe! Pleased to meet you, I look forward to becoming friends!¡±


    I finished my formal introduction in a bow, and smirked at the girl. I knew she was going to love me.


    ¡°Umu, oh alright I guess I have to introduce myself too~ Argh, what a pain~Ahem, My name is Princess Cilictia Narviton, and I am in the first in line for the throne of the intergalactic empire, pleased to meet you~¡±


    Okay. Now my cute childhood friend is completely useless to my overall scheme. This girl is leagues above. I mean come on, what does a cute sporty girl have that¡¯s better than a literal PRINCESS!


    ¡°Oh, yes. You need to come with me then. Youuu can join my school I guess¡­Although it is an all girls school~ YAWWWN It won¡¯t be a problem¡­probably~¡±


    ¡°A¡­¡­..An all GIRL¡¯S school!!!¡±


    I could not believe my ears. I will be going to space with this girl and I will be going to an all girl¡¯s school.


    ¡°Alright, I am very excited to go on our journey to my new highschool!¡±


    ¡°Un, Un~¡±


    I hopped into the mecha and Cilicitia pressed a few buttons, then it jumped off into the atmosphere, leaving behind the broken down school and all my embarrassing shenanigans.


    With my departure from my home planet, also comes the departure of my prior (fake) personality. I was before just a lame teenage boy who¡¯s only joy in life was a sporty ditz. No, I¡¯m better than that now. Now I can show my real personality. I smirked as I looked at the millions of stars zooming past us. I really was above the world. Maybe I am better than what I thought. Hehe, I do have a god complex, that¡¯s right you heard me.


    ¡°Hey, babe. I can see you are blushing because you are in my presence.¡±


    ¡°Ohhhhh~ I am, how did you know?¡±


    Called it, fufu.


    I pressed a button that opened up the head of the mecha. Cilicitia tried to stop me, her dome shaped blue eyes widening as she saw the button I pressed. I just smirked. I never knew making a literal princess of the intergalactic throne, completely terrified and helpless was so easy. I didn¡¯t spend too much time thinking about it though, after all, she was just another obstacle in my grindset.


    Probably your little minds can¡¯t truly comprehend my thought process so I¡¯ll try to dumb it down enough so you can understand alright?


    So basically right when I saw this girl I was thinking that there must be something up with her. That robot that she was riding was made with Vaalshin metal, which is one of the most expensive metals. Also the left upper glass piece on the right leg of the robot was made with Lomtik Glass, which can only be harvested in Tlavis, the planet inhabited by royalty. By looking at this glass it was obvious that it was not transported into another planet by way of trade ships, since it had only just developed a shiny layer of condensation on it, which would be a lot thicker if it were transported in space before.


    So after this I awkwardly introduced myself so that she would think of me as below her, so she would not expect anything from me, and thus give away her royal title like it was nothing.


    This led to the very beginnings of my plan.


    So before she had said anything, I noticed she wore a pin of one of the most prestigious all girl¡¯s schools on her normal suit which reflected off the main window of the cockpit of the robot so before she had landed I could clearly see the pin. This led me to quickly pull out my phone and slightly alter the gps on the surrounding space crafts, which led the falling mecha (That was obviously in autodrive) to fall on top of my school. And of course when this happened and I introduced myself as a harmless and pathetic student her train of thought was very easy to predict. She invited me to join her school, which I quickly agreed to.


    And then the highlight of the plan. As I climbed into the robot I was able to quickly memorise the buttons she pressed when, and was able to locate the button to quickly open up the cockpit. And thus, this leads me to the present.


    If I were to seemingly ¡°accidently¡± open up the cockpit in the middle of space, who could blame me? After all, I was just a clueless highschool student! And since the Princess thought of me this way she quickly gave away her helmet. And now, I must wait for her to suffocate in space. However, my genius has not stopped here. After a quick observation of her speaking patterns I was able to determine which part of the planet she grew up on. I quickly was able to observe that in her family it was tradition that, if the heir to the throne died, instead of the next in line getting the throne, the significant other would succeed to the throne.


    So as the Princess suffocated before me, I slipped on the ring I had bought to give to Tatsumi. I reached out and moved my finger to the exhaust engines behind the robot to burn on the intergalactic empire symbol on it. I then pressed the red hot ring to the Princess so that her finger prints stayed on the ring.


    ¡°Flawless.¡±


    The Princess¡¯ now motionless body floated out of the robot, leaving me alone in the robot. It brings me back to the days of stealing vehicles. However there was a drastic change, I used to fail at driving things¡­..not anymore.


    I laughed as the many stars zoomed past me. I would be king in no time flat. And no one could stop me.


    As the robot zoomed through space I looked at the dashboard, useless things popped by my eyes until I saw something of a small bit of interest for me. An IQ test. I always wanted to take one of these, but I never had a chance.


    Easy question after easy question. Never knew this was supposed to be a kids IQ test¡­. Alright¡­. Last question. Hmph simple. Annnnd done. Hmmmm let¡¯s look at these results-


    ¡°Huh? 5k IQ!? Didn¡¯t even know that was possible, guess I¡¯m just that smart.¡±


    And thus began the reign of the most powerful King of the intergalactic empire.

 A shocking development! Enter reincarnation!

    As the robot smoothly flew through space I heard something weird.


    "Huh, what''s that?"


    I looked out of the window slowly, so that I didn''t fall out.


    "Heh, it looks like you somehow survived without any oxygen! I guess that''s fine with me since you are cute but don''t you dare waste my time!"


    I pulled in the motionless body of the princess. Now that I got a closer look at her she really was pretty cute.  But, I have an entire intergalactic empire to run, I have no time for cute girls and going on dates. Although, making sure that the princess is my loyal minion could become useful in the long run. I smirked,  if everything goes according to plan I should be the strongest person in the entire universe soon.


    "Uhhh......huh, what. Who are you?"


    Cilicitia looked at me with obvious confusion on her face. Hmm, looks like she forgot who I was, I guess she got a small bit of amnesia from the impact of her almost dying. Well I can probably use this surprising development to my advantage!


    "Hello, Cilicitia. It looks like you forgot who I am! It''s alright I''ll just introduce myself again!"


    I turned around in my seat so that I was facing Cilicitia, who was sitting on the floor cross legged. I smiled confidently at her.


    "I am Kagero Hirako, the ruler of all the intergalactic empire, and your Fiance. "


    You are probably wondering why I said Fiance, well I''ll try to explain it easily. You see, before I was going to call myself her boyfriend, but since she turned out not to be dead, I quickly changed my title to her Fiance.  In the culture that the Princess is from, it''s tradition for the man to take the throne, so since I am her Fiance, I''ll be the next in line for the throne. The only problem is, the current king needs to die before I gain the throne.


    "Oh~ I thought I was the heir to the throne, I guess I''m not...."


    Thank goodness for this girl being so brain-dead! If she had even a fraction of my intelligence she''d have found out my scheme extremely soon.


    Three hours later


    After three hours of consistent driving through space we slowed down. I glanced out the windows hesitantly and my vision was immediately filled with a huge planet.


    The planet looked nothing like earth, most of Earth is made up of large empty landmasses and oceans, but this planet seemed to be almost completely populated. Just from the window of the mecha I could already see the huge, expansive palace looming above the clouds.


    I¡¯ll try my best to describe it, but it might be challenging. The palace, which was directly under the mecha, was made up of pristine white spires that seemed to be floating over a giant city. The city was almost completely drenched in the shadows so that I couldn¡¯t see it very clearly. However, although it was not very visible, I didn''t spare the city much of my attention, because the huge palace above was much more breathtaking. The spires were separate from each other except futuristic bridges that connected them to each other. In the very middle of the many spires was a huge domed building.


    Heh, I guess that¡¯s probably where I¡¯ll be living as the king. Not so shabby!


    As the mecha prepared to land, my face split into a grin.


    ¡°Hey.... uh, why are you smirking like that??¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? We are arriving at my palace, why would I not be smiling?¡±


    The Princess was cute and I needed her to stay around, however she really is annoying. Why was she so curious about everything?


    I sighed.  I really would have liked to go on this trip alone, but what could I do?


    ¡°Cilictia, upon the head of the mecha. We¡¯re landed now, so I want to arrive with the grandest entrance that is possible.¡±


    ¡°Un, un. If you insist!¡±


    This is great, since this girl doesn¡¯t know any better, she totally thinks that I¡¯m the king. But the most hilarious part about it is that I will actually be the king in only a few more minutes.


    As the mecha dropped onto one of the large futuristic bridges I noticed a huge crowd lining up in front of the mecha. They probably expect the princess to come out, but lucky for them, their future king has arrived!


    I lightly stepped out of the robot, trying my best to look like royalty. Of course I always look confident but I have to look extra rich and egotistical.


    I nodded to the crowds as confused and terrified mutters passed through them.


    ¡°H...hey! Who are you!! Where is Princess Cilictia!!¡±


    One old man hesitantly stepped out of the crowd, demanding to know what was happening.


    ¡°Cilictia is right here.¡±


    I pointed at the princess as she lightly hopped out  of the mecha.


    ¡°However, you should not care about her. For you should direct your attention to me, the new leader of the Intergalactic Empire!¡±


    At this the entire crowd fell silent. They slowly stepped backwards, some people collapsing onto the street crying. The whole crowd had elapsed into anguish in only a bit of time.


    I looked out over all the crowd, why were they looking like this? I hadn¡¯t done anything at all. Why were they acting like they already knew I was going to come? All of this is so confusing.


    Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!


    ¡°Hey, you! Show me the way to the palace. I have some business to attend to!¡±


    I pointed towards one old man who had obvious tears in his eyes, and a look of utter terror on his face. He looked at me as his eyes widened. He slightly attempted to shake his head no, however when I looked at him in his eyes, he quickly fell back.


    ¡°Of....OF COURSE!!!!¡±


    I have no idea what is happening. I was expecting nobody to think anything of me when I first arrived. To be honest, I was thinking that I would only be able to become king after a lot of grinding. But never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that


    everybody I came across would be dead terrified of me.


    I followed the old man to the entrance of the dome-shaped building, Cilictia followed close behind. She seemed unsure, I suppose she still had a bit of amnesia?


    When we got to the guards guarding the entrance they didn¡¯t even stop to question us, they just let us through the door. I thought that it was probably because the princess was with me, but when I got a closer look I saw that they were completely frozen in fear.


    ¡°You may enter the throne room now, however regular civilians are prohibited to enter.¡±


    The guard stiffly spoke towards the old man who had led us here in a small voice. The peasant ran away, stumbling on his feet in an attempt to get away as fast as possible.


    I pushed open the doors of the throne room to reveal a huge hall, lined with glass pillars. At the very end of the room sat the king, or I guessed that¡¯s who it was. He was an extremely old man with a withering face and a pure white beard. He was motionless, as if he were in a peaceful sleep.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the king. The supposed mastermind behind everything.¡±


    I turned around to Cilictia for confirmation and she simply nodded her head.


    Suddenly Cilictia fell to the floor, her eyes widening. I guess the appearance of him made her get back her memories?


    As she hesitantly stood back up I decided to ask her what was going on.


    ¡°Cilictia, tell me. Why is everybody so afraid of me-¡±


    I stopped talking as I saw her face flood with recognition.


    ¡°The prophecy......¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about? None of this makes any sense!¡±


    ¡°Come. Follow me.¡±


    Her usual chill demeanor changed, and she turned into a business-like princess.


    However, I could tell from her wide eyes that she was actually terrified.


    I followed the princess into many different twisting hallways. After many minutes of walking we arrived in a dark room, the walls were almost completely covered with curtains. In the middle of the room sat a woman. She was not an old lady, but she had the same aura as a very wise old lady. She gave me a thin lipped smile as I entered the room.


    ¡°So, you have finally come.¡±


    She spoke in a quiet and mysterious voice that almost made me shiver.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°Fufu...I am no one special. I am simply a woman who has made a prophecy that has now shown itself to be true.¡±


    ¡°A....prophecy? About what.¡±


    ¡°Of the future of course. It¡¯s about you, boy.¡±


    A prophecy about me.....interesting.


    ¡°Tell it to me.¡±


    The woman shook her head.


    ¡°I cannot, a prophecy cannot be told to the person it is about, or else it may alter reality.¡±


    My eyes dilated.


    ¡°Tell it to me. I am not giving you another chance!¡±


    The woman shuddered as my cold and demanding voice penetrated her ears.


    ¡°None of my prophecies have shown them to be this accurate before.... this world may


    be seeing its last days.¡±


    She placed her hands on the floor and slightly bowed her head, so that her long pale blonde hair swept along the floor, as if she were pleading for her life.


    ¡°Seize him!¡±


    Suddenly out of the shadows came many soldiers. They pushed past me and kicked me to the floor, easily binding my hands together in a heavy rope.


    ¡°Wh...what!¡±


    My eyes shone, as the guards held me back from the woman.


    ¡°Tell me everything. What is happening!!¡±


    Cilictaria quickly slipped out of the room, her steps shaking as she hurried down the halls. After a bit I was left alone with the woman, and the many guards holding me down.


    ¡°Throughout all of history, Tlavis and many of the surrounding planets have been plagued by the Legendary Demon Lord, Xalvaul Evilian. Some believe him to be just a villain from the legends, however according to the prophecies, he is said to have broken out of the seals that have sealed him away for generations and to come again to Tlavis to regain his rightful place on the throne.¡±


    My eyes widened as it all sunk in. I did not feel as if some false news was being told to me....no I felt as if something in my mind had fallen into place. I don¡¯t know how to explain it, but I felt a sudden need to cause bloodshed. I felt a thirst for power that I could not quench.


    A sudden gust of wind rushed around me, causing my hair to rise up. My eyes shone red as the truth burned into my soul.


    ¡°It is as I feared... Nothing can stop him. We must destroy Xalvual Evilian before it is too late! Guards, call the strongest members of the army! We must annihilate the demon lord before his prior power is returned!¡±


    The guards pulled me to my feet. I felt no need to resist. For I felt immense power, that I had not believed to exist before.


    As I was pulled through the halls into the courtyard I felt no fear. It¡¯s hard to explain, however I felt as if the time for my arrogance was soon to come.


    ¡°I understand your thoughts, however. If I am not mistaken, wasn¡¯t this legendary demon lord sealed away millions of years ago by the strongest mages? Why do you believe I can be stopped by just getting publicly executed?¡±


    ¡°St...stop your insolent words!¡±


    One of the soldiers shouted out at me, roughly pulling me out onto a large wooden platform in the middle of a courtyard.


    I stood up, eyeing the expansive crowds, looking up at me.


    The woman who had told me the prophecy, closely followed by Cilictia who was dressed in a gorgeous white gown.


    The woman stepped onto the platform and eyed the crowd.


    ¡°As the queen I now present to you...¡±


    Hmm, I guess the prophecy woman was actually the queen... interesting.


    ¡°The newfound reincarnation of the demon lord! We will now  commence his execution!¡±


    The crowd cheered. This morning I  would never have imagined that I would be getting executed, it''s been a long day!


    I stared at the crowd, as the soldiers prepared their spears for the execution.


    ¡°Hey... you''re so confident that I¡¯m evil that you¡¯ve spent no time in deciding on my death...but has the thought ever gone through your head that maybe I¡¯m not so evil? Hmmmm... wouldn¡¯t it be amusing if maybe....I was actually the person who was going to save you from the reincarnation of this Demon Lord. I mean sure, I came here on the right day, but really...what proof do you even have that the prophecy was correct whatsoever?¡±


    I turned my head slightly so that I could talk to the soldiers more carefully.


    ¡°Have you ever thought that maybe...I¡¯m the person who will save your life from the Demon Lord? Heh, if you kill me now... maybe your only chance of survival will end. And maybe, just maybe... the real reason that the Queen quickly decided for me to die...was to protect her secret identity of the Demon King...¡±


    The guards shook as they heard my words.


    ¡°We...we will not believe you thoughtless lies!!¡±


    I smiled.


    ¡°I never asked you too. All I want is for you to think of all the different consequences that may result from this.¡±


    The Queen¡¯s nostrils flared as she heard my words.


    ¡°You stupid boy! How could you say this! What you speak of is just lies! Lies! Kill him!¡±


    The guards readied their spears to execute, although they did look much more uncertain as they slowly inched their spears closer to me.


    Although I was just minutes from death I felt no fear. I wonder why? Perhaps it is because I know I am far too powerful for just a lame execution like this.


    ¡°3......2............1¡±


    As the soldiers called out the last number they thrust their spears into my chest. However, I felt no pain. I had closed my eyes so that I would not see the unpleasant sight of my death, however, I slowly opened them as a huge bolt of darkness shone out from my chest. Instead of the spears penetrating my body, my body had penetrated the spears, as well as the soldiers.


    ¡°WHAAAAT!!!¡±


    The Queen, who had been silent, let out a terrified scream as she saw me being still fully alive, and the soldiers lying dead before me.


    ¡°Shoot him!¡±


    The Queen raised her hand, motioning many soldiers to shoot me down with huge bazookas.


    However as they shot at me, strong blasts of power destroyed the rockets, creating a sort of fireworks display around me.


    As the smoke of the explosions cleared, I stood on the wooden podium, still completely alive. My hands were still tied together, yet I did not feel restrained whatsoever. Rather, I felt more powerful than I have ever felt before.


    ¡°There is something I must tell you all. Since you have so politely come to my ¡®Execution¡¯ I think you deserve to know something about me.¡±


    I paused as the crowd hesitantly rose closer to the platform, so that they could hear my every word.


    ¡°I am.... unkillable.¡±
