Chapter 1: The Accident

Its amazing how an ordinary day can become life changing in a matter of seconds. Not that being flushed down the toilet and becoming the Demon King wasn't just as life changing. But just like that day, I never saw it coming...

That morning, I jumped out of bed and rushed to get some breakfast. Sadly there wasn't time for me to eat the whole meal so I guzzled the milk and snatched a piece of toast for the road.

"See you later mom!" I called through my teeth with the dry slice of toast hanging from my mouth.

"Have a good day sweetie!" my mother smiled and waved from the doorway.

I was late for class that day so as soon as I got on my bike I was pumping my legs like mad trying to get to school on time. It was just a few more days until my spring break so the last thing I wanted was detention. One more tardy in my history class and I was busted for sure!

The road was wet and slick on my way to school. It had been raining the last couple of days so every time I rode through a puddle, my pant legs got completely drenched. Luckily my mom made me pack a spare in my bag. Until I got there though, I would have to deal with being cold and miserable the entire way there. But at least I didn't have to worry about being sucked in unexpectedly to the Great Demon Kingdom, since I could now go there with my own power.

That's when it happened...

I was nearly there, about to cross the street when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the car skid around the corner heading right for me! I slammed on my bike breaks but then I slid too and flipped over the handle bars. Stunned, I staggered upright just long enough to see the reflection of myself in the windshield before-BAM! It hit me full on.

You know how when something like this happens everything seems to slow down but at the same time flash before your eyes? Well that's what happened to me. I felt the car slam into my right side, breaking several ribs, and dislocating my shoulder. Then I felt like I was flying as I spun off of the hood back onto the street below, where there was a bright flash-which may or may not have been the headlight of the car-and my head hit hard against the edge of the cement sidewalk.

As I lay there battered and broken by the hunk of metal that had just bulldozed over me, things seemed unusually clear to me for a few seconds. I could still see the wheels on my bicycle spinning on the other side of the street. And the rain seemed to be falling in slow motion, because I could see every single drop before it landed.

I could see all this from where I was but for some reason my hearing wasn't working. It was like someone had stuffed cotton balls into them. All I could hear was the obnoxious shriek of the sirens as the ambulance came upon our sad scene. The car had swerved right into a telephone pole down at the turn.

All I could remember thinking was, I hope that person's ok. Of course, I was in no better shape than they were. It was only after the shock of it subsided that I finally began to notice how much my body ached.

I was beginning to have a hard time breathing, then the world decided to resume its normal speed. Not too long after that, my world became nothing but dark shapes and blurs. I couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't think; all I could think was that I was really scared.

I was scared because my parents were going to be worried sick about me; worried that I was definitely going to be late for class; but most of all, I was scared that I was alone. Murata was out of town on a family trip of some sort so I had no way to let Conrad or the others know what had happened. I hurt so much but it terrified me to lose consciousness, because I might not wake up again. That was when I grasped how much danger I was in. I could die. And everything I had managed to accomplish both as the Demon King and as a normal high school student would all be wasted because of this freak accident.

At first, there was nothing but confusion and pain. Someone managed to get my shoulder relocated but my entire right side was bruised and broken. They flashed a light in my eyes and tears began to swell in them, I started to sob at my helplessness. A helplessness that I was all all too familiar with.

Sure, I was the Demon King in the alternate world, but here, I was a normal high schooler. My magic powers couldn't save me here. In fact, I could name several times where it had failed to save me when I really could have used it. This just proved to me that no matter how powerful you are, accidents can still happen...
