1 – Betrayal

At the hands of the chosen hero, the demon king will fall.

It’s a prophecy from the past, and it’s what many people have been hoping for…

It was becoming a reality at this moment.

“Yo… dragon… buy… you… how do you… “

A demon king who bleeds and dies.

Arcadia Harmageddon

In front of him, the heroes of the warrior party were approaching with weapons.

A woman in silver armor stands at the forefront.

She has her blond hair in a neat ponytail and blue eyes,

A beautiful woman holding a shining holy sword in one hand

A legendary warrior chosen by the gods.

Elysee Nocturne.

With a face that showed no emotion, she aimed the holy sword at the demon king, her eyes shining so brightly that it stung her eyes.

A scene that appears to be a noble figure of a hero trying to save the world.

The figure of cutting off all evil and carrying out the will of God,

He was making the people here feel even reverent.

“Curse… would… You dirty b*tch…”

“Goodbye, Demon King.”

Elise, with a calm voice, bids farewell to the demon king who is struggling to express her hatred.

Then, the holy sword in her hand began to shine more brilliantly, releasing divine power.

“f*ck or f*ck….”

-Pak!

A holy sword that pierces deep into the chest of the demon lord who spat out swear words.

The intense light emitted from within began to burn the demon king’s body.

The demon king was already in a state of disrepair due to the warrior party’s attack.

In the end, his body could not hold out any longer and disappeared.

The miserable end of the demon king who threatened the world.

What remains in the ashes.

It was only the crown on the head of the demon king.

The evil demon king, who was a symbol of fear, was completely annihilated.

At the same time as confirming that fact, Elise sat down in her seat, feeling extremely exhausted.

“… Omg… omg… omg.”

The warrior, Elise, exhales with difficulty.

Her colleagues who were watching her situation began to flock to her side.

“I did it!”

“The hero defeated the demon king!”

“It is the victory of the free race! The war is finally over!”

The scene where the incarnation of evil perishes before the power of God.

Show that justice is alive,

Looking at this moment when a long-held prophecy has finally come true.

Cheers filled with joy erupted from the mouths of the warrior party.

The party members embrace each other with bright smiles and express their joy.

Then,

Looking at her colleagues who were so delighted with her, the hero Elise said in a cold voice.

“You mustn’t let go yet. The opponent, the Demon King, may have played some dirty trick before dying.”

“Ah… “

“Sin… sorry. I’m too excited to stop… “

The warrior party begins to hold the reins of tension again at the words of the warrior.

However,

The hero who brought up this story knew.

That there is no such thing.

Whether it’s a trap or a trick,

The fact that there was no way it could exist.

Because he was that kind of person.

Despite holding a shining holy sword, unlike himself who is so dirty and ugly…

Despite being in the dark, extremely strong and upright,

Like a well-forged sword

Because he was a man who knew honor and duty.

But even though he knew that,

Elise had no choice but to say this.

Because she is a warrior.

To save the world

Because he was a being with a duty to defeat the evil demon king.

In such unnecessary tension,

Elise silently stared at the demon king who had turned into a handful of ashes.

‘This is our destiny. Can never be changed. Destiny was decided from the beginning… ‘

The story of the evil demon king and the hero who defeats it.

It is commonplace and classic, but at the same time, it was a popular development.

Because of this, there have been countless myths and stories related to it from the past to the present.

The warriors in the story overcome all kinds of adversity and finally achieve the feat of subduing the demon king.

However.

Among the stories that exist in the world, there are quite a lot of endings that are opposite to such hopeful stories.

A world destroyed by evil.

People who lost hope and collapsed.

And.

A hero who fell miserably after being defeated by the Demon King.

As one of the characters in such a story.

To be precise.

While living the life of a boring salaryman with no dreams or hopes,

The dark fantasy game with the background of the end of the century that I usually enjoyed,

In Demon Blood…

It’s not like a main character or an extra, either.

Suddenly possessed in the body of the final boss, the demon king Alcadia Harmageddon,

I, Han Tae-min, who had to play the role of a demon king who had no place to live.

Over the years, the heroes and the free races have been trying to change the bleak ending.

The demon king with the power to destroy the world,

In order to defeat this, Demon Blood is based on the adventure of the warrior party, a gathering of the strongest heroes of the free race.

However, the ending was always an irreversible end,

The only difference was how many of the warrior party and their helpers survived in the process.

The only thing that can be called a good ending is that the warrior party leads some people and barely leaves the destroyed continent.

In the worst case, there was even an ending where all the characters, including the hero, died horribly or were brutally humiliated by the demon king and his subordinates.

Since it was initially released for adults, it is a game that does not have any level control, so it is a bonus that even related scenes are depicted very nakedly.

In the end, defeating the demon lord was just an impossible goal in this game,

If you don’t want to see the characters you’ve loved at best suffer badly because of the solid story, the practical goal of this game is to play the game to the best of your ability and try to save even one more person somehow.

From the standpoint of knowing this background and ending,

I, who became the demon king Arcadia in question,

Based on the friendship I have built up with the characters in the game as a deceased player so far, I have been trying to find a way to somehow avoid destruction…

I have envisioned a peaceful path of coexistence between demons and free races.

It was me who had the tremendous power of the demon king, plus the skills and knowledge to see the ending with just a single broken dagger as an ancient user.

It was a very simple thing to swallow the world if you wanted to,

Conversely, the world whose destruction has been confirmed through this… To be precise, I was convinced that it would be possible to save the free race and the people who belonged to it.

My plan, the so-called peace plan, proceeded without much difficulty.

Minimize the offensive of the demons under your command, and move your subordinates to try to contact the leaders of the tribal union and the warrior party.

As much as I knew about their individual tendencies, it was difficult to convince them, but not impossible.

Although, at first, most of them had doubts about the sudden change of the ‘King of Demons’,

From the position of holding power, these attempts of mine began to show results little by little.

Recognizing our differences and putting an end to meaningless and foolish struggles.

As a result, those in power who were tired of the war began to change their minds one by one.

As the years passed, it seemed that a way to so-called peace was beginning to be seen between the demons and the free races, who had been at odds all along.

And in the process,

I am a party of warriors who can be said to be the greatest enemy that exists at this point…

To be precise, I became acquainted with the hero Elise, who is the main character of the original work and actually one of my favorite characters who made me do this.

At first, I doubted my actions, but as time went by, the warrior Elise gradually softened.

As much as I liked her even before her transfer, this change in her brought me deep joy.

The closer I got to her, the leader of her warrior party, the more I came to believe that my goal of an ending where everyone would be happy became more and more steadfast.

In addition, while building trust with the hero like that,

From a certain moment, I began to have deeper feelings in a corner of my heart.

As much as he was the main character of the original work, he originally had a crush like no other,

As I met her, her beautiful face, and shared her story with her, my feelings for her grew more and more.

So, with the plan to formally convey her heart to her when everything is over,

We are getting closer to the goal of peace that everyone is longing for.

However,

This moment.

Regarding this ending I came across,

The woman I loved who stabbed me in the back at the decisive moment.

About the brave Elise.

For the first time in my life, I felt a tremendous sense of betrayal.

Starting with an unexpected surprise, the warrior’s holy sword pierces my heart while radiating ugly golden holy power.

In a blow that wiped out the efforts that we had made with our best efforts over the past few years, and finally started to see results,

I collapsed on the floor, shivering with anger and pain.

A holy sword that emits intense light.

What you feel there is a hot sensation as if being burned by lava.

And,

A serenity so strong that it makes you feel sick.

Lastly, that heterogeneous yet unpleasant feeling.

I faced my death like a candle blown out in front of the wind, without even being able to resist.

Realizing belatedly that there is a reason for everything in the world that is falling apart,

With sincere regret for my foolish attempt to forge a new path on this rotting floor…
