The Gemstone Saniwa of the Dark Honmaru

If he woke up in the first century and recovered his memories of being human, only to discover that he was the innocent young Law of the First Age, he would pretend nothing had happened. He absolutely would not be interested in fighting. Fighting was pointless, anyway.

If he woke up in the third century and recovered his memories of being human, only to discover that he was the Alloy Law, who had just gotten a new alloy arm, that would be fine too. He could play some exciting battle games with the Lunarians, then call it a day after replacing a few parts.

If he woke up a hundred and two years later and recovered his memories of being human, only to discover that he was the Lapis Law, with a new head, no big deal. Gems depended on microscopic organisms and had no brains. He could just pretend he'd gotten a new personality.

If he woke up two hundred and twenty years later and recovered his memories of being human, only to discover that he was the Mad Law, who had nearly succeeded in making the Lunarians pray, and whose body and mind were shattered beyond recognition...

Ah, that was now.

There was only one thought in his mind: If he ran away now, that pineapple's schemes would come crashing down spectacularly.

Ten thousand years.

Just two hundred and twenty years had been so painful he could hardly bear to remember them.

It didn't matter what anyone thought of him. In the end, they'd all become Lunarians and chosen death together, so they couldn't blame him for running away.

So he ran and ran, until he reached the darkened Honmaru.

Ah...

A bad master who had done wrong deserved to be punished.

He really did prefer the human values of getting revenge and making the guilty pay.

A little exorcism and then happily ever after? Dream on. If there's a hell, go there. You wicked Lunarians.

1. This started because a wage slave writing about the First Law next door found it too painful and kept pouring out bitterness. The gem story was also... well, you know. I didn't want to blame the characters, but still wanted to vent, so I decided to start another book about the Mad Law.

2. I won't blame the gems in either book. The only ones I'm attacking are the Lunarians and the pineapple.

3. Like the First Law, go punish evil and champion good, Mad Law. Go save those tormented swords. The Mad Law is strong enough for the job.

4. The Mad Law used to be human, as in, someone who crossed over while cosplaying. Gestures vaguely.

5. It got censored from the start. Maybe I talk too much. ( )

6. Updates whenever I feel like it.

Theme: A gem from the Pure Land of Bliss has run off to frolic. The grand exorcism project is on sale now, so come on in if you like it. He'll go next door to work as a chef and improve the lives of the sword tsukumogami.
