ANKOKU KISHI XZ MONOGATARI

CHAPTER 1: A NEW WORLD…..AGAIN!?

Kuroki opened his eyes and shook his head. His memories are a bit fuzzy but the last thing he remembered is that Sento and him have finished fighting a remnant Smash. Sento then was droning on one of his other crazy experiments, then everything turned into black as if someone switched off the lights.

"Argh, what happened? Did Sento do something crazy or maybe Kazumin and his goons are pranking me again?" Kuroki grumbled.

Kuroki can now see clearly as he noticed that he was staring on a very high ceiling, he tried to sit up and upon looking around he was in the middle of a strange glowing circle.

"What the hell is this?"

Kuroki then stood up but he put his guard up upon noticing that he was surrounded, he focused his eyes on the dark surroundings and he was surprised by what he saw.

"Mo-monsters!?"

Kuroki was surrounded by strange and monstrous looking creatures, but still they were just staring at him without intending to attack him.

"What are they? Grongi? Orphinochs? Smash? Roidmudes? Wait, I think Wizard Senpai told us back then that his enemies resembled fantasy creatures….. OR maybe they are Megid like what Blades told me?"

As Kuroki is trying to piece the information around him, a large booming voice rang through the hall.

"OH HO! OUR SAVIOR IS NOW AWAKE!"

Kuroki looked at the direction of the voice and…

"Who's tha- HOLY SHIT!"

A large bipedal boar with a horn on its head with ferocious tusks on his mouth was the one who spoke those words, it was approaching Kuroki at a steady pace. Kuroki's senses went to an overdrive and suddenly reached something on his back-"

"Wait! This one means you no harm!" The creature raised its hands to show that it was sincere to its words. Normally, Kuroki would not heed a monster's words but there is something about the creature in front of him that made him listen. He relaxed his stance and asked at the great monster in front of him.

"Ok, assuming that you meant no harm. Could I ask who you are? And why did you call me a savior?"

The monster in front of him bowed his head and said " Where is this one's manners? Forgive me. I am Modes the Demon King, the ruler of this land Nargol. Can this one know the name of the savior?"

"Ryuuga Kuroki, you could just call me Kuroki for short though."

Modes approached Kuroki and then bowed his head lower than before.

"Ahh Kuroki-dono is your name…then Kuroki-dono PLEASE SAVE THIS MODES!"

"...Ha!?"

"Forgive this one's sudden request, I know you are very surprised but you are my only hope." Modes humbly explained to his savior's bizarre reaction.

Kuroki was able to calm down and was able to collect his thoughts. "Ah... Ok, I am very confused by that, first of all, based on your appearance and aura, you can smash me like a bug anytime you want, and second, you seem like the last one in this room who needs to be saved." Kuroki points at a weak rat-like creature in the direction in front of him " That guy is the one who needs more saving based on everything I saw here. No offense though."

Modes scratched his head and realized his folly. "Oh I see, forgive this one's hastiness in his humble request. I jumped immediately without explaining my circumstances. The truth is my kingdom is being my enemies.

"Invaded? On what grounds? "Based on the usual stories that I know, Nargol was the one supposed to invade, right?" Kuroki wondered

"We are being invaded by Alrena, the Goddess of Elios. She summoned a hero from the spirit in order to do her bidding. She wasn't content with banishing me, she also desires to steal my beloved treasure!" Modes bemoaned upon revealing his circumstances to Kuroki.

Modes then bowed down and his forehead almost touched to the ground, disregarding the gasps of his subjects.

"So please! I humbly ask of you, defeat the hero!" Modes begged again.

Kuroki was surprised and impressed at Modes desperation that he, a king, was bowing at a newly arrived stranger. Kuroki then kneeled down and touched Modes shoulder.

" Oi Modes, please stand up. You don't need to subject yourself to this. Although I won't agree easily, at least I will hear your story." Kuroki replied as he helped Modes up to his feet again.

"Oh thank you for listening to this Modes! Please let me explain my circumstances. Mona!"

" Yes,dear"

A woman walked towards Modes and Kuroki. Of all the women that he encountered in his life, she was the most looked at Modes, whose eyes became gentle and kind that you can't help that he was supposed to be a demon lord.

"What do you think of her Kuroki-dono? Isn't she beautiful? Her name was Mona, my beloved wife. Mona, please give your greetings to Kuroki-dono ."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuroki-dono"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, ." Kuroki replied as he returned her greetings. Had he been younger, he would surely have been frustrated on how Modes was able to meet such a beautiful woman, but he was way past that. His experiences have taught him to be a better man.

"Modes, I think I am starting to have an idea what your treasure is."

Modes grinned as he realized that his savior was able to get an idea based on their interactions. "Impressive Kuroki-dono! Yes my wife was my treasure that is worth more than this one's life. Anyways, Mona could you please."

Mona muttered an incomprehensible sentence while she spread her hand and a mirage appeared above them. Kuroki was astonished at the demonstration of magic in front of him.

"Wow, this is really a fantasy world, those magic based riders would feel at home in this kind of setting."

The mirage showed a group of 6 teens fighting an army of monsters. A lone young man and five girls whose attires came out from some fantasy story games. The young man charged straight into the monsters with a swordswoman and a ninja besides him while their three companions behind them fired spells for support.

"This…" Modes pointed his finger at the mirage to enlarge the image."is the Hero Reiji and his hero party. They are the ones that Rena summone- Kuroki-dono? Is there something wrong?" Modes stopped his explanation upon observing Kuroki's expression of pure surprise.

"No… It can't be…How are they alive?" Kuroki whispered while watching the mirage.

Modes was surprised at Kuroki's statement, " What do you mean by that,.Kuroki-dono? Do you know those heroes personally?"

"Yes, I know them. Reiji Midou, Chiyuki Mizuoji, Sahoko Yoshino, Rino Sasaki,Naomi Todoroki and…"

The final person has evoked a nostalgic memory from a long time ago, it's been a long time since he saw her face."Shirone Akamine."

"So, Kuroki-dono knows the Hero Party as it seems. Let me continue, they were summoned a year ago by Rena, the goddess who hates this Modes."

"What did you say? Can you please repeat that?" Kuroki slowly answered.

"This Modes was hated by Rena?"

"No, before that."

"The hero party was summoned a year ago?"

"Yes that. There is something not right."

"What do you mean by that?" Modes asked.

"You see Modes, the hero party that you speak of… has been missing for 10 years now in our world."

CHAPTER 1 END.

Author's Notes:

Hello there, I am kinda new in writing fanfiction so if there are any grammatical mistakes sorry about that and I will still try to improve.

Anyways, Ankoku Kishi Monogatari is a story about a loser protag (who was actually a prodigy but due to the dressing down of his childhood friend, he lost his confidence) who was isekai'd by a Demon King (who was really a nice guy) to seek his help against the Hero party which is composed by the Hero Reiji and his harem. The funny thing about this story is that it can piss people off because how idiotic and careless the hero party is like, 80% of the problems they have a hand in causing it and MC has to clean it up. Also you will never believe how huge of a jerkass Reiji is because the dude thinks with his dick and not giving shit about how it will affect everybody (He caused a civil war that ruined a kingdom because he flirted with the princess, and just left.) . HIs harem are also enablers that everyone who reads their actions are kinda speechless because of their mental gymnastics in regards to Reiji. Well just read the Ankoku Kishi and be ready to be pissed.

As for Yukisaki Kuroki (the MC in the original), dude ain't that bad but the problem is how doormat he is that you can't help but feel bad for him. That's why you can say the whole story is also about his emotional self healing as he progressed throughout the story. He still has his cringey perverted moments but you can feel nice when he stands up for himself or curbstomps his enemy.

Unfortunately, I will tweak Kuroki's background and have it combined with Banjou's. He will be Kuroki Ryuuga here (I know Banjou was his surname but I am taking some liberties here.). A bit of a spoiler but let's say that he was an endstory Kamen Rider now and it's been years since he became one. Think of him as a veteran of numerous battles (in the old and new world) that he is mature and a bit cynic due to the people he needs to kill in the past and (regrets like what Banjou did that was shown in the Cross-Z new world), so if you are expecting break speeches here, yep there are some here.

Well anyways, see you on the story, Kinda need beta readers too for possible revisions and such though, feel free to pm me.
