'Though what kind of situation this is..., I got isekai'd while I'm in isekai Deeno mused silently.
"Well, all's well that's end's well, so how the hell I'm here? Did I got sent outside the universe or something? Or is it still part of Veldanava's Creation?" Deeno questioned himself silently.
"Nah, Doubt it"
"Well, I just need to wait, maybe someone will pick me up? Sigh.."
Deeno is a college student on his past life that likes to read light novels and fanfics, play video game, watch anime and just laze around while going with the flow.
He also liked searching in fandom about work's that he's interested even though it spoiled him, so although he only watched up to season one in tensura, he knows a few of the demon lord's abilities and history.
He also has a bit of info about other characters because of a friend's constant spoiler.
While he's about to check on info about primordial's because of his friend chatter.
On a day like any other, while he was playing games— an ad suddenly appears while he was in the middle of fight the last boss.
"Just thinking about it really annoy me, I swear don't let me find you!" he muttered quietly, recalling that moment irritated.
"At least the abilities and skills are enough for this world," he added to himself.
'I wonder how's the others though, I only hope that they don't panic as even though it's faint I can still sense the connection via soul corridor.' Deeno thought as he looked at the screen that appeared in front of him a week ago.
The screen has a loading bar and 2 hours remaining before it activates. 'Wonder what kind of system it is, Deeno got up and walk towards the school.

Now while Deeno is busy fiddling with his phone, he noticed someone that tap him in the back.
"Yo!.. Deeno, Morning!" Deeno looked at him before saying "Oh... Chika... Morning! You're still alive huh".
"Ugh... I told you not to call me that, just call me Kuze if you don't want the Masachika" Kuze said while grumbling.
"And what do you mean still alive when you're the one that has bags under your eyes" Kuze said while walking through the gate.
"This is cutting-edge fashion, thanks... " Deeno said while yawning. "You have an unique sense of fashion then." Kuze retorted dryly.
"So, What have you been doing during spring break?". Kuze asked as they neared school in gate.
"Eat, Sleep, and Read" Deeno said as kuze sighed. "You know I've been wondering, how'd you even get a girlfriend with that personality?" Kuze asked while seriously looking at Dino. "Mmm... I'm Handsome?" Deeno replied with voice trailing.
"No-no-no... If it's about appearance you lean more of beautiful side, try it if you put a wig, no one will be able to guess that you're a man y'know." Kuze said quietly while slightly leaning to him waiting for reply.
Deeno just looked at him before heading inside the school building. "Eh... Whatever" Kuze mutters while looking at his friend back.
Deeno looked that Kuze that catch up to him while thinking of how they first met. It had been years ago, on a lazy afternoon in the park. He had been napping on a bench, the kind of nap where the sound of leaves rustling felt like a lullaby, until faint voices reached his ears.
When he sat up, still half-asleep, he spotted a scene not far from him—a boy, about his age, standing protectively in front of a young girl, shielding her from a group of stray dogs.
The boy had a tense look in his eyes, his hands slightly raised. Dino didn't know it then, but there was something… unusual about the way he was focusing. It was like he was about to do something, though Dino couldn't put a name to it.
Before anything could happen, Deeno stepped forward. He didn't shout, didn't wave his arms—just looked at the dogs. One glare, and they bolted like their lives depended on it.
"...Thanks," the boy muttered, lowering his arms.
"Mm. You okay?" Dino asked, looking between him and the girl.
The boy nodded. "I'm Kuze Masachika. And this is—."
"Maria Mikhailovna Kujou" said the girl.
That day was the start. Deeno found himself returning to the park almost every afternoon, meeting up with the two of them. They practiced Russian with Masachika, Japanese with Maria, Deeno is already proficient to those as he has been good at memorizing and eventually started calling each other by nicknames—"Chika" for Masachika, "Masha" for Maria. Deeno stayed just… Deeno.
They grew close, enough that the park became their little world. But one evening, they lost track of time. The sky had already gone dark by the time they realized it.
It was then that something happened.
A sudden ripple in the air, like the atmosphere itself had been disturbed. From the shadows, a stray devil emerged, its eyes glinting unnaturally.
Masachika moved instinctively, stepping in front of Masha, his posture almost identical to that first meeting—but this time, Dino noticed it. There was a strange flow around him, an invisible force gathering.
'…What is he doing?' Dino wondered.
And then—
The words appeared in his mind.
Not slowly, but all at once. Strings of incantations. Symbols. Magic circles. He didn't know where they came from, but his body moved before he could question it.
Light burst from his palm, forming into a spear of holy magic that pierced straight through the stray devil.
It dissolved into nothing.
"…You… can use magic?" Masachika asked, his tone a mix of disbelief and relief.
"…Uh? what?" Dino replied, staring at his own hand like it had betrayed him.
From that day forward, Masha pestered them to teach her magic. Deeno reluctantly agreed, still unsure how he knew the spells—he just… did. Whenever he tried to explain them, the words formed in his mind as if they'd been there all along.
He shared them with both Masha and Masachika, watching Masha pick things up with alarming speed, her affinity undeniable. Masachika, too, learned quickly, though he was less open about how much he already knew.
Those park days became training days—until one afternoon, Masha told them she was returning to Russia.
After she left, Deeno and Masachika stopped going to the park as often. Masachika became tangled up in some family matters with the Suou household, and Dino… found himself drawn deeper into mastering the strange abilities that had resurfaced in his mind.
It wasn't until a month later, by pure coincidence, that Dino spotted Masachika again, moving into an apartment building that, as it turned out, belonged to Dino himself.
