Chapter: Demon Lord Idea
In the midst of the forest, Ryu lay in his tent, snoring loudly as he drifted through dreams of who knows what. Yizo, ever the vigilant presence within his mind, watched over him with a mixture of amusement and patience.
Yizo: prods Ryu "Wake up, Ryu! Rise and shine!"
Ryu grumbled in his sleep, swatting at the air as Yizo's attempts to rouse him grew more persistent.
Ryu: "Five more minutes..."
Yizo chuckled, undeterred by Ryu's protests.
Yizo: "Come on, lazybones! Time to face the day!"
With a final, exasperated sigh, Ryu stirred from his slumber, blinking blearily as he emerged from the depths of sleep.
Ryu: "What's your problem, Yizo?"
Yizo: "Oh, nothing. Just thought you might want to wake up before noon for once."
Ryu scowled, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he sat up in his tent.
Ryu: "Very funny, Yizo."
But as Ryu's annoyance began to fade, Yizo's expression grew serious, his tone taking on a solemn edge.
Yizo: "Hey, Ryu. I've been thinking..."
Ryu raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the sudden shift in Yizo's demeanor.
Ryu: "About what?"
Yizo hesitated for a moment before speaking, his words measured and deliberate.
Yizo: "What do you think about becoming a Demon Lord?"
Ryu's confusion was palpable as he processed Yizo's unexpected question.
Ryu: "A Demon Lord? What's that supposed to mean?"
Yizo: "Well, you see, Demon Lords are powerful beings with immense mana, much like the Slime Man and Elf you encountered. They wield considerable influence and are respected by both demons and other creatures alike."
Ryu's eyes widened with realization as he connected the dots, his mind racing with possibilities.
Ryu: "Wait, you mean Goojiro and Haruki were Demon Lords?"
Yizo nodded, his expression grave.
Yizo: "Indeed. And with your growing strength and potential, you have the makings of a formidable Demon Lord yourself."
Ryu's mind buzzed with excitement and uncertainty as he considered Yizo's proposition. The thought of wielding such power was both thrilling and daunting.
Ryu: "But what would becoming a Demon Lord entail? And why me?"
Yizo's eyes sparkled with wisdom as he spoke, his voice tinged with solemnity.
Yizo: "Becoming a Demon Lord would grant you immense power and influence, allowing you to shape the world according to your desires. As for why you, Ryu, you possess a unique strength and determination that sets you apart from others. With proper guidance and training, you could become a force to be reckoned with."
Ryu mulled over Yizo's words, the weight of their implications sinking in.
Ryu: "I... I don't know what to say."
Yizo: "Take your time, Ryu. This is not a decision to be made lightly. But know that whatever path you choose, I will be there to support you every step of the way."
