Anime Demon King Main Character

Betrayed. Butchered. Erased. Once hailed as a hero of the Holy Empire, Kael Varin was the empire’s strongest knight—until he uncovered the truth behind their so-called righteousness: corruption, blood rituals, and demon pacts disguised as “divine miracles.” For daring to expose them, Kael was branded a heretic, tortured for weeks, and ultimately executed in front of the entire continent. But death was only the beginning. His soul was cast into the Eternal Void, where a forgotten god of vengeance offered him a choice: die forgotten, or return as a monster to burn the world that betrayed him. Kael chose vengeance. Now reborn in the body of a young slave in a distant mining colony, Kael begins his merciless climb back to power, feeding on the souls of monsters, tyrants, and saints alike. With every life he takes, his power grows—and so does the shadow of the Abyss Lord within him. > “I was their sword. Now I am the fire that melts their thrones.” In a world ruled by false gods, immortal kings, and smiling executioners, Kael doesn’t want justice. He wants obliteration

What’s the point of getting stronger in a world without the Demon King? That was my excuse for being unable to scale my insurmountable wall. Even though people around me claim that I am talented, I was never called a genius, or the Second Coming of the Hero. There were times when I showed the result of my efforts. However, the rumormongers were always the same. "As expected, he’s the son of a Hero." It doesn’t feel like I’m being praised. And then, the words were usually said about my bad days, when training results were below the standards. "In the end, he’s still immature compared to his father the Hero."

Imprisoned since birth for being half-human, half-demon, Kajin was treated as a disgrace, tortured, abused, and trained not to survive, but to suffer. His only worth? A forbidden magic once wielded by the First Demon King, capable of conquering the world. Now he’s broken free. With a burning hatred and power unlike any before him, Kajin escapes to the human world, hunted by the family that caged him. After a brutal battle in the city of Albion, he collapses, only to awaken in the care of a long-lost sister. He has one goal: tear down the Demon Royal Family and claim the crown for himself. Vengeance burns in his blood, but the world beyond the palace is vast, cruel, and filled with enemies. To survive, Kajin must decide, will he become the next Demon King… or something far more terrifying? (also being posted on RoyalRoad: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/761708/fictions)

The main character had it all. Power, love, and a world that revolved around him. That’s why Kai was thrilled when he woke up as Axel Lycan, the protagonist of his favorite book, Easy Survival in the Academy. Determined to do his best, Kai quickly realized something was wrong, everyone hated him. Even the heroines, who were destined to love him, wouldn’t give him a second glance. As the main character, he faced endless problems, schemes, betrayals, constant attacks, and insults. With no one willing to stand by his side, he gave up on making friends and focused solely on getting stronger. He pushed his cheat skills to the limit, training relentlessly until all he could feel was numbness. The final calamity was supposed to be fought alongside his classmates, the people who were meant to care about him. Instead, Kai faces it alone and barely survives. As he lies bleeding out on the hard floor, a message appears: [Mission Failed] World Collapse Romance Difficulty Lowered Boss Difficulty Increased Stay on the plot line Now, he was brought back to the first day he was summoned.

It’s already been 18 years since the last Great War between the Demon King and the entire world. Since then, the Demon King’s throne has remained vacant. Hayato Nakamura (Ashford), a half-human and once-in-a-millennium magic genius, studies at the prestigious Sylvania Magic Academy for heroes, trained to fight against demons. However, due to a series of fortunate—or perhaps unfortunate—events, he suddenly inherits the title of Demon King. But demons are inherently vicious, bloodthirsty creatures who believe in the survival of the fittest, obeying only the strongest. As a young and new student at a school meant to nurture the next generation of heroes to fight against the Demon King, he is far from being the strongest. His adventure is only beginning. Now, caught in the deadly web of demon world politics, Hayato must navigate his new role while trying to survive. He also has to watch out for trouble within the academy, especially from the prophesied Hero. To make matters worse, Hayato has an incurable disease that prevents him from using magic, his greatest strength. Now, he must embark on a journey to find a cure while simultaneously claiming his rightful throne. But how can he survive without his magic, especially when the entire world is against him?

Mika never expected to wake up as Prince Mika Lyre Verhault, the doomed second male lead of Crimson Revenge, a novel he barely remembers. In the original story, Mika was framed for treason and killed, all because of the Holy Maiden’s flawed prophecy. But now, armed with knowledge of the future, Mika refuses to let the story dictate his fate. As the third prince, he has no throne to inherit, no obligations to fulfill—just the perfect setup for a carefree life. Until he realizes that his death is still inevitable unless he makes a move. His solution? Recruit Louis, the strongest man in the kingdom, as his personal bodyguard before the prophecy ruins everything. However, Mika’s actions disrupt the original plot, drawing the obsessive attention of Kaya, the Holy Maiden, who believes Mika and Louis are destined for a tragic love story. Armed with divine prophecies and stubborn determination, she manipulates fate, turning Mika into the kingdom’s most unwilling romantic icon. Now, Mika is caught in a whirlwind of misunderstandings, royal politics, and prophecy-induced chaos. With assassins hesitating to kill him for fear of “breaking Louis’ heart” and the kingdom rallying behind his supposed romance, Mika must either rewrite destiny or be trapped in the most ridiculous love story in history.

Who is Katz Baldwin? A wandering healer? A rogue sorcerer? A quiet hero in a dying world? No one really knows. But here's the truth: he's the 36th Demon King—the so-called weakest in history. The joke of the underworld. Except... he inherited the forbidden shadow powers of the First Demon King—the legendary God Slayer. So, yeah. Weak is kind of relative. For two thousand years, demons and humans have been at war. Katz? He crossed into enemy territory not with an army, but alone—drawn by a deadly plague that’s tearing through every race: humans, elves, demi-humans. Instead of spreading destruction, he started saving lives. Now they call him a hero. But how long can a Demon King pretend to be a savior? How long before the truth slips through the cracks? He walks the line between light and shadow—and when the mask falls, the world will have to decide: Is he their salvation... or their doom?

Fifty years ago, the sky split open and portals unleashed monsters and chaos upon the world. Faced with this threat, some humans received a unique gift: a player system, with classes and skills similar to a video game. Among them, ten legendary heroes, the Ten Kings, founded the Ten Great Families who carry their heritage and power, passed down from generation to generation. Every child of these great families awakens at birth with an innate class and skills. In the country of Veledris, there are only two of these great families, powerful and influential. Damons Ravencier was born into one of them. But unlike the others, he received no power at birth. Rejected, banished along with his three young sisters who also showed no awakening, he survives in the shadows, working multiple jobs to protect the only people that matter. Then, one day, an ancient demonic system — also rejected — finds him and chooses him as a candidate for a deadly competition: the Throne of Demons. Seven chosen ones, guided by demonic AIs, fight to become rulers of the demons. Damons did not choose this fight out of ambition, but out of necessity. To protect his sisters, he must become the most feared Demon King of Veledris… and perhaps the entire world.

After suffering a ridiculous death in the modern world—run over by a girl fleeing a runaway boar—Kaito Yagami awakens in a new world... as the crown prince of the Demon Realm! But unlike what one might expect from a successor to the feared Demon King, Kaito has no thirst for blood or ambitions of conquest. All he wants is a comfortable bed, three meals a day, a decent harem, and plenty of free time. Lazy, perverted, and peace-loving, he intends to live his reincarnation as easily as possible. Unfortunately, the universe seems to have other plans. Wielder of the forbidden ability [Devourer]—which allows him to absorb the abilities and memories of the creatures he consumes—Kaito also carries within him the dormant power of the Seven Deadly Sins, sealed by magical chains that, if broken, could unleash catastrophic power... or something even worse: his true self. And as if that weren't enough, his family is a nightmare—or perhaps a wet dream—in and of itself. His mother, sisters, and even his aunt are beautiful, powerful demons, completely obsessed with him. Between political meetings, battles against sacred heroes, legendary monsters, and dangerously... embarrassing situations, Kaito must make a decision: Save the world, or stay in bed?

They once called him Ahzrael, the mind behind the infernal legions. Alone, he could bring down kingdoms, scatter armies, and challenge the will of gods. At his peak, just as the demons began whispering his name as Lord, betrayal struck. Not by a hero, nor by a god, but by the very master he had served: the Demon King. Why? Because Ahzrael had not been born to rule. Yet Hell itself bent the knee before him. That was a sin the throne could not forgive. They condemned him not with honor, but with fear. Cast down, consumed by the very black flames he had taught others to wield. Erased from history. But he is not gone. He will rise again. And this time… no one will stand in his way.

As they fight to survive, hatred gives way to something far more dangerous. Kael was never meant to care. Eirian was never meant to stay. So why does it feel like they belong to each other?
