Chapter 3: loners dream

_Episode 11: The New Demon Lord_

In the underworld, a new Demon Lord rises: Tanaki Hazuma, a powerful and cunning demon. He learns of Ikubaki's defeat and sealing within Maki Kibasu.

"Foolish Ikubaki," Tanaki sneers. "His arrogance led to his downfall. I will ensure his essence remains trapped forever."

Tanaki assigns his most trusted lieutenant, the demon Gōra, to monitor Maki Kibasu.

"Watch the human closely," Tanaki orders. "If Ikubaki's essence stirs, crush it immediately."

Gōra nods and assumes a human form, blending into Maki's life as a classmate.

Meanwhile, Maki Kibasu lives his life unaware of the demon within him. But strange occurrences start to happen:

*He experiences fleeting moments of Ikubaki's memories.

*He feels an unusual surge in strength and agility.

*He begins to sense the presence of demons around him.

Gōra observes these changes, ready to strike at the first sign of Ikubaki's return.

Tanaki Hazuma watches from the shadows, his eyes fixed on Maki Kibasu.

"Ikubaki's essence will never be reborn," Tanaki vows. "I am the supreme Demon Lord now."

But as Maki navigates his life, he starts to uncover the truth about his connection to Ikubaki...

_Episode 12: The Lonely Dreamer_

Maki Kibasu walks through the gates of Zanfeng School of Magic, his eyes fixed on the ground. Another day, another struggle to find his place.

As a commoner, Maki feels like an outcast among the noble students, who flaunt their family crests and magical prowess. His only solace is his dream of becoming a legendary Sword King, wielding immense magic and power.

"Maki, you're just a commoner," his classmates mock. "You'll never amount to anything."

But Maki's determination burns brighter with each passing day. He spends every spare moment practicing his sword techniques and studying ancient tomes on magic in the school's library.

His heart belongs to Yuoyuo Ling, the noble daughter of the esteemed Ling family. But their different social standings make their love seem impossible.

"Maki, focus on your studies," his teacher advises. "Forget about fantasies and nobles."

Yet, Maki's gaze often drifts to the Ling family's estate, his mind filled with visions of Yuoyuo's graceful smile.

In the shadows, Gōra watches Maki, intrigued by the human's unwavering dedication to his dreams.

"Perhaps this human is more interesting than I thought," Gōra muses.

As Maki navigates his life at Zanfeng School of Magic, he remains unaware of the demon within him and the hidden world of realms and continents beyond his own.

The stage is set for Maki's journey to unfold, with the whispers of his destiny growing louder...
