The spirit moves around a strange world with a spark, and with a bang, everything goes black as he wakes up in a strange place. On the bed, the Demon King Perci Renozin came to his senses. It appeared to be a castle, but it was filthy and had broken windows.
When he looked out the windows, he saw nothing but broken walls and burned trees and bushes. It appeared to be a graveyard.
"Where am I ?"
While he was looking out the window, the door handle opened and someone entered the room.
"Good day, Demon King-sama."
Perci's ears were filled with a clear and dignified voice. As he turned, a tall, slender figure appeared in front of him. That voice belonged to a woman. He noticed the woman had horns on her head, which made him realize he was sent by the goddess Hekate, who told him she would reincarnate him as the demon king to defeat the Hero.
"So I finally am a demon king huh?"
"Is everything fine demon King-Sama" said the woman in horns
"Umm Yes...Yes"
Looking at her, she had made a bow on one knee in front of Perci. Perci was impressed by the woman's appearance when he looked at her.
She had long silver hair and large cushions on her chest that declared her gender. Her horns were adorned with jewelry, and the clothes that made black its primary color encased her slim figure.
It was similar to what was known as a maid in the world Perci had previously lived in.
Having said that, he didn't know if it was truly maid clothes because he hadn't seen the real thing in his previous world.
Above all, the massive shield at that woman's side and the sword at her waist were far too large for the "maid" that Perci was familiar with.
"...Ahh, un."
When facing the mirror, Perci examined his own appearance after a brief response.
The clothes he was wearing were black in color with gold and silver designs scattered throughout. The demon king wore an armour chest on top and appeared muscular. Perci had no idea how long it would take to create something of this magnitude. When he checked himself, the image that was reflected there was not the same as when he was Syunsaku Ishimaru.
First, he was in his teens to the first half of his twenties... It was probably close to the time when he would be considered a young man.
A thin man with delicate features, his skin was mostly white, his black hair was cut a little long, and he had red eyes.
There was probably no one who could tell he was the same person as his former self based on his well-featured appearance.
"So, um...You are?"
"I am called Lublani, Your maid and second in command of the demon army"
With those words as keywords, information was spread out in Perci's field of vision.
Name: Lublani
Race: Succubus
Rank: S
Occupation: Battle Maid
What was spread out in Perci's field of vision right now was something called Status.
"S Rank?"
"Affirmative"
Perci, who was a Demon King, was able to confirm her rank. He checked his status
Name: Perci Renozin
Race: Hybrid Demon
Rank: SSS
Occupation: Demon King
"Oh, I see, I'm an SSS Rank demon King."
"Yes, Demon King Sama." Perci realized it with Lublani's words.
Magic that confirms one's status...No, to begin with, magic did not exist in the world that Perci was originally in, and Perci had used it without hesitation just now.
"For a time, I believe you will be swayed by your common sense and memories of your original world. As a result, I will support you."
Lublani stood up and took Perci's hand, which was on the throne, saying that.
"Demon King Perci-sama, welcome to Imeroth. Whatever path you choose from now on, I will nestle close to it."
Perci surveyed the area after rising from the throne as if led by Lublani.
"...Lublani, was it."
"Yes, Demon King-sama."
Perci's view was littered with what appeared to be ruins.
The stone walls were crumbling in places.There was no ceiling, and the sky was overcast.Pillars that were probably magnificent once were completely broken, and there were numerous places on the floor that appeared to be about to collapse.
"According to my knowledge, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Demon King's castle, but..."
"Yes. It's because it's been about 120 years since the previous Demon King died."
Perci sighed as he heard those words.
"...I see. In this case, it must be repaired."
"There isn't one."
"Wh..What!.."
"We don't have the budget demon Sama"
"Nn?"
Perci, sensing that he had heard a questionable line for some reason, asked a question in response.
"What did there not have?"
"There isn't one."
"Eh? I mean..."
Lublani shook her head sideways and closed her eyes, looking pitiful.
"All of the property in the Demon King Castle had been transferred to the pockets of the Hero party. Even the previous Demon King's order has long since collapsed, and I am now the sole subordinate of the current Demon King-sama. In fact, the budget is only the small amount of money I had saved up until Demon King-sama awoke."
"In other words?"
"I believe that resurrecting the Demon King Army is an urgent matter. Until then, I'll handle the household finances...or rather, the financial affairs."
Perci was staggering as he approached a crumbled wall, a situation he had not anticipated.
The scenery of the Dark Continent could be seen through the collapsed wall.
He could tell that this was an unfit land for human habitation.
Most likely, the Hero or whatever would not launch an attack right away.
"What the hell?"
When he looked down, he saw something that looked like a field where the rough ground had been tilled.
Lublani informed Perci that "potatoes are being grown," which made him want to cry.
Imeroth, A world where the Demon King Ommidell perished due to the Hero, and Humans celebrated peace. Like this, in a corner of that world, in a place called the Dark Continent, a new Demon King was born.
