Approximately one day has passed since Ming Ze entered the world of Solis. He had just accepted the idea that he was in fact, the demon king. Who's he kidding, he's completely livid.
"Damn that bastard! why the hell did he make me a demon king!" Ming Ze exclaimed as he rolled around on his giant-sized bed, in his even bigger room given to all demon kings before him and will be given after him.
He took a moment to look down, examining his pintsized body for the fifteenth time that day, "And why the hell did he make me a kid again!!"
But as Ming Ze continues to roll around on his bed, he suddenly remembers the last thing Nexus had said to him, "Exactly! But it won't be as simple as rewriting reality. Well, off you go!" He said with a wide mischievous smile on his face that sent shivers down his spine.
"Damn it," Ming Ze said exasperated as he fell back on his bed.
"Raja....status" As those words left his mouth, a voice spoke, echoing throughout the room, "Understood" a serine feminine voice spoke up, just then, a black screen with blue lines along the edges appeared.
The screen displays Ming Ze's stats.

"Suppressed?" Ming Ze muttered analyzing his stat page and seeing his stats and level which was labeled suppressed, "I wonder why it's suppressed though....does this mean I have to train.....troublesome"
A knocking sound comes from his door, he sits up and goes to the edge of the bed to look towards the door, after a moment of consideration he speaks up, "Come in"
the door to his room opens, and in comes Vier Dominante, his Advisor, and Another person walking behind her, he was among the seven that led his welcome ceremony to this world.
"Yo, king! what you up to in here!" The man exclaimed. He has a 20-year-old appearance with Hazel colored skin and shortly spiked-up amber hair, sharp gold-slitted eyes along with a wide savage grin(a face that makes the ladies swoon, kids cry and piss themselves). He's also wearing a black skin-tight sleeve shirt, a black belt with a golden phoenix for the buckle, and dark red jogger pants with red military boots.
"Oh hello, Vier-san, and your Destro Creegs right?"
"Ya got that right, I'm thee Destro Creegs, better known as Destro the destroyer!" Destro exclaimed, his boisterous voice echoing throughout the room.
"Sigh, I apologize for his disrespect, my Lord, he's a very, eccentric person," Vier said her mouth set into a small frown.
"It's ok Vier-san, I don't mind, and please call me Ming Ze," Ming Ze said, a small smile on his face, "I don't like honorifics"
"Yes my Lord," Vier said a teasing edge to her tone, clearly ignoring his offer
"what brings you guys if you don't mind me asking"
"Yes my Lord, I came to escort you around the palace as promised, Destro here decided to tag along," Vier said, her professional demeanor never fading.
Destro who was eavesdropping, tuned back into the conversation "Hey, hey, hey, don't embarrass me like that! Vier!".
Ming Ze stared at the two momentarily before chuckling under his breath, "Ok then" he said before hopping down from his giant-sized bed.
"But....I wanna look the part, gotta be professional and all that" he said running towards his, not surprisingly, giant-sized closet. He took a total of ten minutes before returning.
In a moment he was standing in front of Vier and Destro, "Alrighty then...I'm ready" Ming Ze said now wearing a purple trench coat that had wisps of darkness coming off the edges, a skin-tight black shirt, he was also wearing black baggy pants with black shoes with blue lines making intricate patterns, around his neck is a neckless with a blue gemstone, the neckless was too large for him to wear normally so he had to wrap it around his neck multiple times.
His eyes shone with an unearthly glow, and the wisps of darkness mixed with his appearance gave him the look of a modern-day bad boy.
"Hahahaha now you look like Demon King....so uhh does the cloak come that way or is it just you" Destro asked giving Ming Ze a savage grin and a thumbs up.
"Nah just me.....Raja, disable badass mode" Ming Ze replied, the serine voice of Raja spoke up "Understood" and with that said, the unearthly glow that enveloped his body faded away with the nonexistent winds
Badass Mode, is a skill Ming Ze created to look as the name suggests, like a badass, it's only purpose of this skill is to show off.
"Badass mode, made it myself"
Destro grinned, nodding with approval "Badass mode huh, sounds like a skill I could use, not that I'd need it considering I'm already a badass"
"I get what you're saying, I mean I'm only using it for now until I can use my soul force"
"hahahaha no use worrying about it King, you're the demon king for crying out loud, you're practically a walking cheat code" Destro assured Ming Ze while patting him on the head.
"Don't pat me on my head asshole! I'm not a child!" Ming Ze exclaimed, swatting Destro's hand off his head.
"Tut tut tut, language! you don't wanna get grounded do you" Destro playfully reprimanded Ming Ze, wagging a finger in his face.
Ming Ze stares at Destro.
Destro stares at Ming Ze.
Ming Ze stares at Destro.
Destro stares at Ming Ze
"Pfft!"
"Hahahahaha" Destro bursts into laughter, all the while slapping Ming Ze on his back.
"Grrr!" Ming Ze stood still, stewing in anger while being slapped on the back by Destro.
Suddenly potent killing intent spreads throughout the room, Both Ming Ze and Destro freeze, and a slender hand is placed on Destro's shoulder.
"Destro Creegs.....have you forgotten your place" Vier Dominante, who was momentarily forgotten spoke up, her grip tightening on Destro's shoulder.
-5 minutes earlier-
As Ming Ze returned, his new appearance caught both of their attention, as Destro went to engage Ming Ze in conversation, Vier stood in place, gaze unfocused having her own inner conversation while a tinge of pink spread across her cheeks.
"kyaa! So cool!" Vier exclaimed in her mind while holding her cheeks and swaying back and forth
"I still can't believe I get to be the secretary for the new demon king! mother will be so proud!"
"No no no I have to focus, Vier Dominante you trained like hell for years studying Etiquette, I endured that torture mother called training, all I've done was to reach this point in my life..... I won't fail, I'll be the best adviser In the history of advisers!, heh, and when I do, I'll rub it in the faces of those skanks" She said encouraging herself by pumping her fist in the air with a determined look in her eyes.
"Hahahahaha" The sound of Destro laughing broke her out of her inner monologuing.
Looking up to the sight of Destro laughing while slapping Ming Ze on his back, this causes a vein to bulge on her forehead and killing intent to be released.
The release of killing intent made both Ming Ze and Destro freeze up with barely contained fear.
Walking up to them, Vier puts a hand onto Destro's shoulder making him even more tense than he already is.
"Destro Creegs.....have you forgotten your place" She said her grip tightening causing a cracking sound to echo throughout the room.
-Present Time-
Ming Ze stood petrified, staring at the scene in front of him, Destro Creegs, the Destroyer of his enemies was currently getting his ass beaten horribly by Vier, the term beaten is a complete understatement "She's mutilating him!" Ming Ze exclaimed, his mind running a mile a minute thinking if he should help him or not.
After a bit of contemplation, Ming Ze spoke up, "Um Vier-san.....I think he's had enough" He said hesitantly.
Vier's assault on Destro froze at the command given by her lord before backing away from Destro who gave a shaky thumbs up and turned quickly toward Ming Ze, giving him a close-eyed smile, which only seemed to freak him out even more.
"My apologizes, my lord" Vier said her professional demeanor now back on her face.
"Damn! Woman why do you always gotta be so rough" The sound of Destro's wheezing voice.
Ming Ze turned towards him only for his eyes to widen in shock, Destro who was but a moment ago, three limbs short now halfway regrown, covered in ethereal gold flames.
He stared at Destro's half-healed flame-covered limbs in shock and disbelief. "Uhm Destro.....Is your body supposed to do that"
"Hm?" Destro looked at him for a moment then looked down at his body that was currently being bathed in flames before returning his gaze to Ming Ze. "Oh this It's pretty normal, I'm just healing"
"So you have self-regeneration huh? Ming Ze said looking impressed. "I wonder if I can make a variant, I'd look so cool!" He said brain running a mile a minute as his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Destro smirked with amusement. "Hahaha Indeed it would.....but it might be a bit impossible, I mean considering I'm a phoenix and all"
"You're a phoenix! so cool!" Ming Ze exclaimed, his fascination obvious.
While the two continued their conversation, Vier stood to the side, once more forgotten as she boiled with anger. "Enough!" She shouted, causing the two to pause.
Both Ming Ze and Destro stared at Vier as she began to rant about the importance of running a kingdom. "Can you even begin to imagine the sheer audacity it takes to rule a demon king's army? I'm talking about the logistics, the politics, the.....oh, let's not forget the infernal paperwork! It's not just about being in charge; it's about maintaining order in a chaos-riddled ecosystem where everyone's a schemer and every minor grievance could spark an all-out mutiny"
As she continued her rant, Destro tapped Ming Ze on his shoulder. "Once she starts, she's not gonna stop for another thirty minutes" Destro said, a grin playing on his face.
"Hm? So what do you wanna do?" Ming Ze questions him, curious about what he'll suggest.
"Let's head out to the field. I want to test you," Destro stated firmly, pointing a thumb over his shoulder towards the door.
Ming Ze grinned, radiating excitement. "Sure let's go" He replied.
Giving one last look towards the ranting Vier, both Ming Ze and Destro retreated out the door walking down the corridor toward the training field.
-thirty minutes later-
"So, before you go romanticizing the role of a demon king, remember this: it's not just about wielding dark power and commanding legions. It's about managing chaos, navigating treacherous politics, and ensuring that every day you don't wake up to find yourself on the receiving end of a coup. Next time you think it's easy, try ruling an army where even your most loyal minions have their own agendas and their own hellish quirks!" Vier finally finishes her rant and looks around the room not seeing anyone. "Huh? Where did they go"
