"People are afraid of darkness, fear of the unknown, and fear of death. The Demon King is the fusion of their fears. As a ruler of darkness and the Lord of the Temple of Demons, the Demon King must let everyone know how to fear him and

Respect him, and find a perfect balance between violent coercion and sweet talk temptation - just like when you force the human in front of you to chew a piece of bread, and then tell him with a smile that there is half a piece of bread in it.

Like cockroaches.

The 333rd Demon King Cypress"

The flickering candlelight swayed slightly and illuminated the dim study room in front of him. With this faint light, he could see a young man curled up on a chair in front of the desk, flipping through a heavy book by candlelight.

He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Because he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, his handsome face looked pale and thin. He was wearing a dark mage robe that stretched straight to the ground. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be different from ordinary people.

There is no difference, but the sharp horns faintly emerging from the hair on both sides of his forehead and those bright red eyes represent his true identity.

That's a demon clan.

"call……………"

After a while, Zhan En closed the book in front of him, took off his glasses, and rubbed his sore eyes. Unlike writing magic books, the level of historical records of the demon clan is really difficult to look at directly.

The articles are all dry diaries, as if they were made up by a naughty kid in order to cope with holiday homework.

To a certain extent, the online novels Zhan En read before were ten thousand times more interesting than this one.

"Perhaps when I become the Demon King, the first thing I need to do is find a reliable scribe."

While talking to himself, Zhan stood up and stretched.

The small study looks clean and a little dilapidated, but it's no wonder. How good an environment can you expect in an underground cave of less than twenty square meters? In addition to the dark and damp cave, in the dark

There is nothing but monsters and death.

But for Zhan, this is his only home.

"Speaking of which, time flies by so fast..."

While sighing, Zhan couldn't help but recall the scene when he first came to this world.

He was once a well-known hacker in the online world on Earth. No matter how powerful the firewall is, as long as the network is not completely physically isolated, Zhan's black hands cannot be stopped.

But even Zhan En never thought that one day he would stumble.

Just to save trouble, he wrote a script for an online game that he often played, but his account was banned by the official. Unwilling to do so, Zhan naturally hacked into the official server and tried to clear his name. The result was

While Zhan was having fun modifying things in the server, he didn't pay attention to the thunderstorm warning on his side... and the result... well, the facts tell us that there is some truth in prohibiting the use of household appliances during thunder.

As a result, not only was Zhan's computer completely destroyed, but he himself did not escape the disaster. When Zhan regained consciousness again, he had become a demon who had just crawled out of the eggshell - and he was also a demon king.

one of the heirs.

After staying in that ghost place where demons danced for more than ten years, Zhan finally got familiar with the life in the demon world, but he was summoned by his cheap father, and then he was thrown into the demon world in the name of the demon king's inheritance ceremony.

To this hellish place where birds don't lay eggs.

But it's no wonder. Among his five brothers and sisters, Zhan is the only one with the least ability. The eldest brother Klein is the most powerful demon king candidate, and the name of the second sister Lilicia is enough to scare children from crying in the demon world. Even so.

My two younger sisters are also feared existences in the demon world.

Only Zhan En, the mistress... Ahem, third brother... ahem... Third brother has little reputation in the demon world. Apart from sitting in the library reading all day long, I haven't seen him do anything.

Live a serious life. Not only is he as weak as the demon patrols, but Zhan's power is pitifully small compared to his brothers and sisters who have heavy troops.

Including him, there were only two of us.

It’s no wonder that he was thrown into such a ghost place. Otherwise, before Zhan En could clean up his dungeon, he would have become the nourishment of the dark depths under the earth, and another long-lasting figure among the demons.

What a ridiculous joke.

The so-called Demon King Succession Ceremony is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, the five children who are the Demon King's heirs each choose an area, and then build their own "dark castle" there to expand their power. In the end, who can win from the five brothers and sisters?

Whoever stands out from the crowd will be the next devil.

It is simple and direct. There are no red tapes like the human world. There is no need for elections, wooing and secret operations, and there is no need to go on TV to explain one's political opinions. The boss with the biggest fist can be said to have taken this sentence to the extreme, even rising to the truth.

level.

"But...I am finally liberated."

Looking at the void in front of him, Zhan En pushed up his glasses, and a light flashed in his bright red eyes. Because at this moment, rows of data were appearing in front of him.

"Finally got through it..."

Looking at the floating panel in front of him, Zhan En sighed with great emotion.

That's right, after time travel, Zhan En obtained this system inexplicably. In fact, Zhan En is not unfamiliar with this system, because this is the setting in the online game he played before, but for some unknown reason, this thing

Er merged into his own soul and traveled through time with him.

But it is a pity that although there is such a system, it was useless to Zhan before. Because he had no choice but to find that before the entire dungeon unfolded, his system was completely sealed. Therefore, no matter what he learned,

No amount of knowledge can be transformed into one's own power. Even if the magic incantation is accurate to the limit, there is still no way to cast a powerful spell.

Not only that, while his brothers and sisters are advancing rapidly, and their whole bodies are constantly upgrading as if they are filled with golden fingers, Zhan can only hold on to his unexpandable first-level dungeon system forever.

Killing time in the library. This is why Zhan En's strength is always so weak that even the demons can't stand it anymore.

It's very simple. For a character who has been at level 1 since birth and has never increased in HP or MP, even if he gives you a hundred legendary spells and can't use them, isn't it just a waste of money?

But now, after all the hardships and being thrown into this useless place, Zhan finally started to open his own dungeon and at the same time gained the power he should have.

I have to admit that this newly opened dungeon is very weak. Apart from Zhan, the unworthy dungeon master, there are only the adjutants who have been following him, and the five goblins he summoned after arriving here. Such a

The dungeon can be easily destroyed by just a random adventuring party.

Fortunately, this is a deserted area that no one cares about, and Zhan's dungeon is still deep underground a few hundred meters below. There will not be a team of well-fed adventurers coming for a three-day tour. But for

For Jenn, this is not a place without danger.

"Boom!!"

At this time, suddenly there was a dull sound in the distance, and then the ground began to tremble, and countless dust scattered from the ceiling. Almost at the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Master."

At this moment, the door to the study room slowly opened, and then, a petite, slender figure walked into the room like a ghost. It was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, with soft blond hair and delicate and petite hair.

Her facial features always carry an elegant and gentle smile like the breeze. She is wearing a dark, gorgeous dress and looks like a lady from a noble family. But she has the same bright red eyes and triangular ears.

, and her pale skin showed that her identity was not ordinary.

"What happened again?"

Looking at his adjutant, Zhan reluctantly closed the book at hand and asked.

"It's like this. The southern passage was dug down by those goblins again. This time the damage to the underground city was about one-third. How should we solve it?"

"……………………"

It seems that a qualified architect is indeed the most important component of the underground city.
