A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Freesia recruited a companion. There is nothing you can do alone to accomplish your plan. This must be a big project. With that in mind, he secretly looked for sponsors and co-researchers. His consciousness still had a slight conscience that this could not be made public. But it won't stop anymore. His hatred grew as he grew older.

"Good luck, Doctor."

"... thank you."

I shake hands with the nobles who sponsored me. It was in the basement of the royal castle that they became their laboratory. It's only natural to work underground to keep secrets, but this place was more like magic street than anything else. And they created this underground facility by deceiving even the eyes of the upper ranks of the army, royalty, and superior anti-magicians.

How did he get here? Is that due to charisma?

No, because it was a symbol of human hatred. There are so many people in a situation like him. It exists everywhere, noble, military, researchers. There were people everywhere who were killed by the Devil, but there was nothing they could do. That is why this was a matter of time. Humans stain their hands on inhumane experiments. It didn't happen because it was Freesia Rosen Krauts. Someone was arriving eventually.

But strangely, Freesia was a genius. When that genius mixes with madness... mankind gains powerful power.

"I did it... I did it, I did it!!

"Congratulations, Doctor!

Finally.

"I'm really glad I followed you, Doctor."

Underground facilities, commonly known as "boxyards", have been in existence for decades. There were many researchers in the boxyard. Here, I worked on researching things that hate demons. It was different in pure calories from those studied in the world above. The motive to avenge this world is more rewarding than the motive to save it.

The prototype was completed. This creature is based on humans, but combines the magic form of the demon race with the unique area "Personal Field". Undoubtedly, we can be the strongest of humankind. And you will do it, and you will do your revenge. Until I came here, these decades have been a constant failure. Sometimes I thought I might finish my research. But I continued. He, their obsession was incredible. The belief that it will succeed. It came from hate, but it didn't matter to them.

The finished individual is then filled and drifting in the solution.

"The name is Claudia. Let's give her a name."

Claudia. That's the name of the daughter he lost decades ago. Freesia gave her the same name. Though artificially produced, my daughter is certain of it. He felt the same affection for her as he did then. But hate was never erased....

◇

"Dad, why can't I get out of here?

"A little more time and we can get out. Until then, shall we study with Daddy?

"Mmm...."

Claudia grew fast. And more intelligent than anything else, she was able to deal with metamorphosis magic. Transfer Magic was said to have been lost in the People's Magic War hundreds of years ago, and was also regarded as a legendary magic. In addition to that, she can handle modern magic without any discomfort. There was no doubt that the research had been successful.

I've worked with a lot of people so far. Of course, I used it as much as I could to study sinners, but I still sometimes grabbed innocent ordinary people. But thanks to that sacrifice, she was finished. Freesia is already obsessed with madness. Any sacrifice will be affirmed for her and even for the future success. That's what he thought.

……

Years since then. Claudia was alone in bed staring at the void. What she's been wondering about lately is where I am and who I am. Claudia was smart. Everything will be remembered quickly and can be applied well. The researchers taught her all along. And before she turned 10, she already had researcher-like knowledge. The high level of intelligence also manifests itself in behavior. It was remarkable when we had a conversation.

Such a question of hers. It will never clear up. Rather, her desire grows stronger every day.

(I want to go outside.)

I want to go outside. This dark underground facility has already been punished. She was also curious. Such a woman was tired of her actions in this place. I want to go out... and Claudia decides. Going out into the world...

"Wow... wow..."

Claudia succeeded in going out. Access to the lab is controlled by magic, but she breaks through without difficulty. And for the first time, I came out of the world.

"... red?

The first thing I thought was that it was red. This world is red. Technically red and black. It's evidence of being dominated by dusk. She knew the fact. That's what I learned in that basement. Hundreds of years ago, humans were defeated in the Human Magic War. Then the world was dominated by the mysterious phenomenon of dusk. What is dusk and what is going on outside? That further arouses her curiosity. And now I know. In fact, this is what the world is like. I instinctively realize that this red and black light dominates the world.

At the same time, Claudia thought. I want to know more, more. Why is the world dominated by dusk? I wonder why dusk has been illuminating the world for centuries...

"Let's go... I have to go..."

So nature and legs were headed outside. The outside world coming out of the underground facility is still inside the prime city. But this world is much wider. The wider world is waiting outside. Humans have designated it a dusk hazard zone, but for her it was an unknown world and an enchanting place.

I want to know why I was born and how this world is built. And Claudia made her way to dusk with the magic of metastasis.

"... there are many monsters"

Twilight hazard zone, level 2. It was full of monsters. That's what I heard. Twilight is full of monsters. And humans are powerless in front of that monster...

But Claudia will make this dusk easier. It hasn't been an hour since I left the boxyard. Yet she had already arrived at Danger Zone Level 3. There's nothing to be afraid of. Rather, it was more fun now than ever to satisfy this dry desire. I could feel alive. Not in that cramped boxyard, but in this vast world. Claudia thought so.

And as she goes further, she discovers humans. But it was already all a corpse. When I saw the pieces of meat, I wondered if the human contents were like this... There was no fear.

"... survive?

It seemed like a human being was there. But seeing the blood dripping from the sword in both hands, and even seeing its overflowing magic elements, I realize... that this is a demonic tribe. Claudia quickly understood that she was one of the top demon tribes.

"Magus?

"You're not wearing a uniform... why are the kids here?

"... I'm not a child. It's Claudia."

I see. Okay, Claudia. Why are you here?

The Magus would have mercilessly abandoned the child. But I didn't. That's because I was interested in Claudia's magic powers.

"Now... I came because I wanted to come. Bad?"

"Alone?

"Yeah."

"After all... I don't know what it looks like..."

"What's wrong?

"Are you human?

Huh?

And she knows. I wonder why I was born...
