Why I Quit Being the Demon King

For generations, Demon Kings have risen from hell only to be defeated by the champions of the Pure Blood clan. The latest to inherit that cycle is Demiurgos DCLXVI—Deus, the 666th Demon King. He is supposed to confront his appointed warrior in twenty years, but he has no interest in waiting for another predictable war. Deus leaves the demon realm ahead of schedule and slips into human society under a new identity. Rather than simply conquering the people he was born to oppose, he takes an interest in a descendant of the very heroes destined to defeat him. His unpredictable choices unsettle demons and humans alike, turning a centuries-old battle between Demon King and Hero into a story no one has prepared for.
