Black Alice in the Murder Land
Chapters 3. Towards the Game
After the shower, Tenn felt something.
“What is this? The magic? But a little different.”
He immediately looked towards his flaming phone and picked it up quickly.
“Welcome to Murder Land? Code name...Alice Liddell? Who is Alice Liddell?”
“Shortly...what is this? Why is this link installed by itself?”
Tenn doesn't seem to like this. The magic eyes possessed by the demon lord worked.
“Link is like having strange powers. But I can't track him. Moreover, it seems that he deliberately lured me to have this weird app.”
The demon lord attempted to remove the strange application with the ace icon from his phone.
The first attempt, he succeeded. But after a few minutes, the application reappeared without being reinstalled.
“Hah? Can it be?” protestations
The second attempt, he again tried to remove it. But there is a strange evidence. Even the demon lord read it slowly.
“Hmm? What is this?”
“This application is a built-in application that cannot...deleted?! Oh! Crazy yes!”
There was a voice behind the door.
“Tenn-chan, are you okay? Tomorrow leaves in the morning, right? Don't play games and sleep.”
It was the mother's scream. Our Demon Lord is acting like a good boy now.
“Iya ma'am. I sleep, I sleep. Tomorrow I leave in the morning.”
Tenn used his magic to dim the lights, not turn them off. It looked as if he was going to sleep when it was never needed by him.
True, our demon lord never sleeps despite having reincarnated into a human. Now, he's busy with that shitty phone of his.
“Darn application! Also dare they use magic that I can't read to make this app stick like stamps!”
“Look at me, I who is a demon lord this will not let strange magic defeat me.”
Throughout the night, Tenn kept trying to cast his magic to uninstall the apps on his phone. But apparently, his efforts to stay up late were nil alias failed miserably.
Even more painful, there was a message sent to his phone via email. He received it while he was on his way to school.
[To Alice Liddell]
[Thank you for trying so hard. But accept your destiny. In the end, this will make you feel very challenged]
[In addition, only the administration can remove this application. You are the chosen player and if you succeed, there will be an attractive prize for you]
Tenn looked so upset.
“*Gift? Who do you think he's talking to? I am a demon lord! Although I am now a human being but my strength has never changed*!”
“Strue system!”
That's the grunt in my heart that Tenn let out in the morning.
Arriving at school, Tenn who entered the class was greeted with great fanfare by his friends.
“Ka-ta-o-ka..” Tenn looks upset.
What greeted him was his friend who had been intended from the heart by the demon lord to be punished for complaining in a chat group that Tenn was truant.
Tenn approached her with an annoyed face.
“I'll hang you on the flagpole!”
“I'm innocent!”
“You're guilty! Want to dodge it?!”
Some of his classmates laughed at the action. Here, the demon lord's relationship with his friends was very close.
No one else seemed to hate him, but the boy named Yufuin Tenn was an accomplished child who was quite liked by almost everyone, including staff and teachers.
As the lesson begins, Tenn secretly sees his phone again.
“I want to know who is behind all this? Does he have magic like me? Is she also reincarnated like me?”
“But, who and why? Is there a reason for this?”
While thinking, Tenn reopened the app. When you go to the homepage of the app, a notification appears.
[Game time stayed 00:05:18 for the first step. The target level is level 0]
Tenn watched the clock keep moving backwards.
“*Five...minute?! They'll do something in five more minutes*?!”
“This is not good! If something he was about to do was so dangerous, all of them here could die. I have to do something before it happens.”
The demon lord pretended to want to go to the restroom in the study hours and went out of the classroom towards the rooftop of the school.
“Here I'll be fine.”
While looking at his phone back, Tenn opened the app.
[Game time stayed 00:02:32 for the first step. The target level is level 0]
It seemed that the remaining time did not give a calm effect to this one demon lord.
“Do not think I can make my normal world change huh. Just look.”
Tenn's eyes turned red and a magic circle enveloped the entire school area.
“Tarcza ochronna (protective shield)”
A magic shield was created, but it could not be seen by anyone. Until finally, the remaining time had run out and something strange happened.

In an unknown place, someone smiled.
“My Lord.. I would love to see you at the top once again.”
“I won't let you have fun alone.”
