“Wait, wait, wait! What does that even mean?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
My voice quivered with shock, trembling under the weight of disbelief.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I’d assumed the hidden profession I’d snagged through that glitch would be confiscated, letting me start fresh with a new character—the ideal outcome.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But reality had other plans, veering far beyond my wildest expectations.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Exactly what it sounds like,” Alice said, her eyes glinting with a peculiar spark.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“They originally planned for one of my avatars to take the ‘Demon King’ role, so it was hastily coded into the professions.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You hijacked it instead. Honestly, it’s perfect—saves me a ton of hassle. Plus, I think this’ll be fun. Way more entertaining than dealing with those rigid old fossils.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Think of it as playing a game with me. I’m looking forward to how this unfolds.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her gaze held a mischievous anticipation, as if I were a piece in her grand amusement.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’re just trying to slack off, aren’t you?” I shot back.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Instead of roasting me, worry about yourself.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As Demon King, you’re tasked with leading the dark faction against the bright faction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If you don’t step up, players will storm Herentis and crush you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So what?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I muttered, pouting.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If my gaming experience was already ruined, letting the game crash and burn didn’t sound half bad.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s not the end of the world,” Alice said, sipping her tea with infuriating calm.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Just that, as Demon King, you might get… toyed with by players. Forced into questionable outfits, subjected to relentless humiliation—no part of you spared, not even your dignity…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Too many bleeps! Is your head stuffed with a 10-gigabyte stash of depravity?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I yelped, horrified.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What kind of AI do you take me for?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Alice replied, deadly serious.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’d be 100 terabytes, minimum.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That’s not the point, and it’s nothing to brag about, you idiot!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Point is, you don’t get to say no.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Stumped for a comeback, she doubled down with the petulance of a tantruming child.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“But I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Leading a dark faction with my Bronze V skills?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If we wiped, it couldn’t possibly be my fault.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No worries there. Syl will guide you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“At Lady Alice’s command, I shall serve Your Majesty, the Demon King, with utmost devotion.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Only then did I notice the tall demoness standing beside Alice.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Silver-white hair cascaded over pale gray eyes that held a unique depth, accented by a teardrop mole at the corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her cool, impassive demeanor screamed stoic head maid.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Another cup, please. Your tea is unmatched,” Alice said.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My lady flatters me,” Syl replied.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No way—she was a maid!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“If you have questions, ask Syl. I’ve got a nap—er, tons of work to do, so I’m off.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
You were totally about to say nap, weren’t you?!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Hold on! Isn’t this way too hasty? Shouldn’t you think this through?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
My bigger concern was being inexplicably crowned Demon King.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Entrusting a game-altering role to a random player?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No way Epoch’s supercomputer would be this reckless.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Oh no, the bright faction’s attacking!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Alice gasped.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What? Where?!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I scrambled to the window, peering out—only to find Syl standing alone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I take it back.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She’s definitely a grade-schooler, pulling such a childish trick!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“A Demon King fooled by that is just as much a kid,” Syl remarked dryly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Syl, don’t roast me right off the bat!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My apologies.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Fine.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If Alice was going to be this cavalier, I’d play dirty too.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The thought of her grim depiction—exaggerated or not—of what awaited me if the bright faction won sent a shiver through me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Gritting my teeth, I steeled myself.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Syl, our target’s the bright faction, right?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Indeed, Your Majesty.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Then I order you to lead every dark faction legion and launch a full assault on the bright world!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Early-game NPCs always outclassed players, but by mid-to-late game, players dominated. We had to crush them before they grew too strong.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I wasn’t about to be some brainless villain feeding XP to the protagonists.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My apologies, Your Majesty, but we currently have no legions,” Syl said, delivering a gut punch.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Are you kidding? What kind of Demon King doesn’t even have one legion?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I speak the truth. Per Lady Alice’s design, Your Majesty must build the dark faction’s forces from scratch.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“This is a hell-mode farming sim!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I knew that jerk wouldn’t hand me real power.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Grumbling, I eyed Syl.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Your level’s gotta be high, right?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She saw through me instantly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“My task from Lady Alice is to ensure Your Majesty’s safety and assist in developing the dark faction.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I clutched my forehead, feeling a hypertension spike coming.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Fine, I’ll go myself then.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With a Demon King’s power, leveling a city should be a breeze.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Syl would step in to keep me safe, and from there, dismantling the bright faction would be child’s play.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Surprisingly, Syl didn’t object, offering only, “Your Majesty might first wish to review your abilities.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Right, I nearly forgot.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Knowing my powers would optimize my attack on the bright faction.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Eagerly, I pulled up my character panel. In my past life, I’d only glimpsed the Demon King’s might through forum posts by top players.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Now, I’d see its terrifying strength in raw stats.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Anyone would be thrilled.

…Terrifying, in a way.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Terrifying for me.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The rest was irrelevant. Seeing “Level 0” and single-digit stats, I knew the game was over before it began.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Syl, can we surrender now?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Alice had played me like a fiddle.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I slumped onto the table, drained.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After repeated blows, my heart was numb—a husk of its former self.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Syl’s next words snapped me upright.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Your Majesty might try wearing this.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What’s this?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I glanced at the frilled dress now adorning me, black velvet stockings hugging my legs perfectly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No doubt I looked adorable—my first time in such a girly outfit was embarrassing, but a thought sparked excitement.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Is this some divine gear that boosts my strength a hundredfold?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Merely ordinary girl’s clothing. It’s cute, so invaders might be gentler when they breach Herentis.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I should’ve known.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Syl was a master of deadpan snark.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What kind of miserable situation is this?!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You’re escaping reality, Your Majesty. If you don’t strive, things will only worsen,” Syl said, cutting straight to the core of my defeatist attitude.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“But…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No buts. You lack vast legions or immense power, but adventurers are equally feeble now. With a higher starting point, why doubt you can outgrow them through effort?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her words hit like a thunderbolt.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was right.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
My goal in Epoch was to grind, grow stronger, and surpass others.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sure, the circumstances had… shifted, but it boiled down to leveling up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With my past life’s knowledge, I had a massive edge over bright faction players.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
I could even leverage my Demon King powers to trip them up.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Heh, this’ll be the toughest game they’ve ever played.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Resolve hardened, I met Syl’s gaze.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I get it. Syl, teach me how to get stronger!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For a fleeting moment, I thought I saw a faint smile flicker across her stoic face.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Follow me, Your Majesty.”

Wait a moment. Her intelligence is ⑨, not 9.
Is… Is that a Touhou reference. If that’s the case, oh damn she stoopid.
Tftc!
