A Märchen for the Time-Limited Monster

I transmigrated into a time-limited villain who would make the world a sea of fire and destroy it.

Fortunately, one year remained before I received the Oracle of Destruction.

Anyway, my life had a fixed ending.

I decided to rest at a cabin in the woods until destruction came, and then leave quietly.

…But.

One day I found Zed bloodied in a cave.

I couldn’t just pass him by, so I brought him to the cabin and I cared for him, and then,

“What’s this? This soot?”

“I-I’m not soot! I have a name…!”

“What’s it?”

“My name is Harto!”

“Harto? Even the name’s unimpressive.”

“…Hehe. You’re the first person to call my name.”

…….

Harto is a monster who, when his body weakens, turns into a sootlike mold.

Zed found that Harto was useless and annoying, but he couldn’t stop worrying about him.

“Come with me.”

After Harto’s body fully recovered, Zed made an unexpected offer to Harto.

“Huh? Where to? Why?”

“To go kill Hartiros.”

……!

He’s going to go kill me…?

Hartiros was another name for Harto.
