His eyes that were looking straight ahead, slowly moved to his side observing those young first years.
— Did something happen? Why did you suddenly shut up?
— If you don't hurry up and eat your slice of cake I'll eat it for you minions — Grim threatened expecting a typical annoyed reaction from Yuu but… Yuu just watched, with a lost look until he suddenly covered his mouth.
His body began to tremble, while he heard how his heart was beating so quickly and his pupils dilated as if he had busted something really scary.
— Hey Yuu, what's wrong?! — Deuce shouted which made him get the attention of Trey and Carter
— Supervisor, what's going on?! Was there something wrong with the sweets?! — Trey asked, who had stood next to him, touching his back in search of comfort since his tea seemed pale.
— An allergic reaction? Was it too much sugar? Supervisor! What's wrong?! — Carter also seemed to be worried but also somewhat scared since he didn't know what was wrong with him and could only guess in search of any sign of agreement from Yuu.
"I feel nauseous…"
"I feel bad…"
"Please, please…"
Riddle's voice was heard throughout the place, not caring, he dropped his staff, as well as his crown and ran towards Yuu once he noticed the commotion at his table.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE!!!!!"
A series of memories flooded his mind.
Again and again
His curse began when he arrived at Night Raven College, a prestigious four-year academy with a focus on magical education. A school that chooses promising students in magic with a great future and trains them to be great magicians. Because of that, the students were proud, selfish, and competitive, but with great qualities.
Strangely, he had been chosen.
HIM, a human without magic from ANOTHER WORLD.
For a while, he didn't understand what the mirror of darkness saw in him to take him so far to a world like Twisted Wonderland. But now he seems to get an idea.
He is a boy of only 16 years old, with a normal life. No girlfriend, no friends, not at all popular, unattractive, and not at all athletic. A boring life. That's why he always read novels or watched isekai anime to distract himself from his boring life.
He dreamed of being that hero summoned from another world. With great strength, many people who love him and a Harem of all kinds of women.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
He had been awakened by what he thought at the time was a really weird raccoon, ran away, met Crowley and returned to the classroom where he received a shocking revelation.
At first he felt excited, to which he acted as usual by filling the director with questions and introducing himself to everyone with kindness, although when he noticed that the awkward silence produced in the classroom and the mocking laughter from other students, made him simply shut up. He hoped to humiliate others with his great power, but the mirror's word about his lack of magic only made the mockery towards him intensify.
That raccoon had broken free from the director's whip and began to spit fire around the place.
Due to his lack of reflexes, he was enveloped in those blue flames.
He could only feel pain, pain, pain, until he simply stopped feeling anything.
A truly pathetic death after having arrived in another world. That was his last thought until he was awakened again by those blue flames.
He had returned to the moment when Grim opened his attack.
He didn't know how it was possible. Was there really a god in this world that looked after him? Is that his powerful ability? It sucked since he was absolutely terrified of death, especially with the horrible way he died, it was simply something he would never be allowed to forget.
His skin burning, bubbling from the heat, melting like ice cream.
Although he was grateful for that second chance, he never wanted to go through that again.
The next day, he had met Ace again.
After getting into trouble, meeting Deuce and going to the dwarves' mine, he had finally managed to take the magic gem without letting anyone die.
Even if Ace had initially shown himself to be a complete conceited, Yuu didn't have the heart to leave him abandoned in the mine with that ink monster. And he wanted to return Deuce's favor of helping him catch Ace.
Crushed, Buried, Beaten, Drowned in ink, Pierced by the pike…
That was attempt number 9 but he had succeeded, it had all been so painful, but those three were alive so it didn't really matter.
He enjoyed spending time at that school even if it didn't contain a shred of magic, so he started meeting more people and hanging out with those guys for a while.
Now, he found himself once again facing one of the dorm leaders he saw at the entrance ceremony.
Rosehearts Riddle… in Overlord
The bodies of what he knew as his friends, his first and only friends, were found on the ground.
Time and time again, he had seen Ace torn apart by the roses, Carter stabbed by the cards, Trey pierced by numerous roses, and Deuce crushed by the terrifying shadow behind Riddle.
He couldn't help but wake up and vomit every morning at such memories.
It was 24 times until he had managed to defeat the Crimson Tyrant.
He hoped, no rather, wished with all his heart even to the god who had given him that ability that he would stop, but that didn't seem to be the end.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how his hand turned into sand.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how everyone was crushed by those tentacles.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how he had lost control of his body and attacked others.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how they bled from that poison in the air.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how again and again they were consumed by the blots.
Before his eyes, he witnessed how they all ended up in a deep sleep.
In each situation a different death, but he couldn't let any of them die. They were, HIS FIRST AND ONLY FRIENDS.
So I go back, once again, and save them all.
Again, and again, and again, and again.
The group seemed to grow so there came a point where he decided to ignore everything. But playing blind wasn't enough to make it just stop.
He just couldn't let them go.
Tried to tell about his ability. But before he could say a word, the world would stop around him and turn black and white.
Like it was an old movie.
But what was really painful were the times when he felt like his heart was being squeezed by an unknown force, as if he were locked in a cage that grew smaller every time he tried to say a single word about his resurrection.
Over and over again, it didn't matter what medium he tried to tell them through.
Everything around him was destroyed, the room where the large mirror was located was in ruins and the dark mirror itself was already on the floor, broken. Not only did Yuu find himself surrounded by large blue flames, but also by numerous bodies of all the people he had ever known.
All 7 leaders of the dormitory had fallen, including Malleus. That fairy-dragon who was said to be one of the strongest magicians in Twisted Wonderland, was already on the floor, bleeding and surrounded by those people who once swore to protect him.
He was the only one standing.
His voice was cut off by the blood that began to come out of his mouth. Due to the silence of the place, it could be heard as it hit the ground and created a small puddle at his feet.
Yuu began to laugh as he looked at that monster with gray fur, blue fire, chicken legs and a snake tail. That monster showed its teeth before him and opened its large faucets ready to devour him.
—Let's do it again… Yes, Grim
Yuu raised his head and saw Malleus.
They were both close, due to him being in Malleus' arms, however, he completely ignored that and looked into his eyes for a while.
— Is something wrong, Malleus? — Yuu said with a smile.
— …That's what I want to know
A moment ago Malleus was talking to Yuu about gargoyles, there was a beautiful smile on his face. So he was excitedly about proposing to go looking for gargoyles when suddenly Yuu jumped and looked around in despair.
Because of that regretful agitation he was about to fall so he quickly caught him in his arms to prevent him from getting hurt.
As his friend, he must PROTECT HIM.
The moment their eyes met, Malleus froze in place. It was for a moment until Yuu began to smile at him again, however, that smile did not seem to be one of embarrassment or happiness that he had given him before, but rather an expression of madness.
It's been a while since I wrote anything, I haven't really felt inspired and because of the evaluation week I've been working 24/7 but I finally managed to find some time to make a little fanfic.
Re:Zero wow the theme of this anime has caught my attention a lot, very different from how it is painted on its covers although I prefer to read the light novels than watch the anime or manga, but the gore is good so I'm encouraged.
In fact Subaru's theme reminded me of those crazy theories about Yuu.
Like the one who can get caught in a loop in Twisted Wonderland to try to save the school over and over again. And every time he dies he goes back to the beginning (the entrance ceremony).
there are a lot of really crazy theories, but at the same time they make some sense.
Also Yuu seems to be the kind of protagonist like Subaru, he doesn't have magic or anything other than Grim that makes him stand out. HE'S JUST A HUMAN SURROUNDED BY OTHER HUMANS OR EXTRAORDINARY BEINGS. And he lets himself be carried away by the leaders' Overblots even though he has no way to protect himself from them. Who wouldn't lose their minds at the sight of them?
