Puzzled Face Cartoon

For centuries, they existed alongside humanity—beings with shifting forms, unnatural abilities, and no place to belong. Feared, hunted, and cast into the shadows, they were seen as monsters. Demons. Not because they were, but because it was the only way humans could understand them. When fear turned to control, they were captured. Experimented on. Locked away in labs deep underground, stripped of their names, their identities, their freedom. To the world above, they were nothing more than forgotten myths. But secrets never stay buried forever. Sixteen-year-old Ryu Mikael wasn’t thinking about any of that. He had bigger problems—like the homework he forgot to do. Instead of facing another lecture at school, he decided to ditch, heading into the mountains to get some peace and finally finish his work. Away from the noise. Away from everything. Then he saw him. A stranger. Standing there, still yet tense, his head tilting slightly—watching. There was something unnatural in the way he moved, like a predator studying prey. Then, in an instant, he lunged. And Mikael’s life changed forever.

Kayn just wants a normal school life. No drama, no trouble—just study hard, blend in, and become a Royal Knight. But there’s one tiny problem… He looks like the final boss of a dark fantasy game. Towering muscles? Check. Demonic red eyes? Yep. Mysterious aura of overwhelming doom? Unfortunately, yes. And just to make things worse: Zero magic (but can punch a dragon into orbit). Completely immune to spells (mages are crying). Every weapon he touches instantly breaks (at this point, it's just sad). Despite his best efforts to be a normal student, everyone is losing their minds. The so-called "hero" candidates are convinced he’s the reincarnation of a legendary Demon Lord and live in constant fear of his “inevitable world domination.” The professors and nobles despise him because he’s a peasant. And worst of all? Every villainess in the academy is in love with him. Cold-blooded crime heiresses, mischievous assassins, and even demon princesses see Kayn as their perfect bad-boy soulmate. No matter how hard he tries to avoid trouble, misunderstandings keep throwing him into the spotlight! His dream of a peaceful student life? DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Now, Kayn has to survive academy life without accidentally conquering the school, triggering an all-out war, or—heaven forbid—becoming the next Demon Lord. (Seriously, why does everyone think that?!)

['Good people die young.' That was an irrefutable fact. In her life, all she did was give everything she has to the people around her. Living in a world where man-eating creatures exist, she was more blessed than anyone, or is she? She shares all the things she possesses with the people she deemed as 'comrades.' She became selfless and ignores her desires because maybe, even if they live in a scary world, they could have joy in it even just a little bit. But she was soon proved wrong. Her 'comrades' left her to be eaten to save themselves. She thought that it was fine. But the 'monsters' she expects to eat her were more of 'devils' in the humans' clothing. She was tortured, experimented and she toyed mentally, physically, and spiritually. Her being was put in place worse than death. And finally, she came to rest.] "You wrote...this story?" she asks. The other person laughs crazily: "It's so sad, right? Haha!" Her face darkens. She looks into the sky and calms herself. The other person became puzzled: "Do you remember your—" Bam! She smashed her friend's face to the table and fanned herself. In her first life, she lived only to be tortured and became someone else's stepping stone. In her second life, she came to know that her first life was nothing but a fraudulent novel, that she's only damn cannon fodder. When she opened her eyes again, it's already her third life. She blinks her eyes. How come it resembles the settings of her first life? "Groans.." ...It's the same, but it seems like something changed in the gender department?

I’ve killed thousands before, in a world far from this one, and I’ll kill thousands more before I’m done.
