That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is now a huge hit. One of the charms of this work is that it is far removed from the idea that monsters = evil, as the main character himself is a monster, and it also depicts the despicable acts of humans. In this article, we will introduce the Demon King, who rules over these monsters. In this work, the Demon King is by no means a den of evil. So, what was the background to the birth of the Demon King? We will also introduce that.

What was the reason why the Demon Lord was born in the first place? It was when Guy, who thought he was the strongest at the time, challenged Veltanava, the father of Milim, who was the original dragon species and boasted of being the strongest. Although Guy was unable to defeat Veltanava, they hit it off, and Veltanava asked him to cooperate and act as a mediator to prevent people from becoming arrogant, which he accepted. And so, for the first time, a Demon Lord was born.

The Demon King Guy, a friend of Veltanava, and the Hero Rudra, who is the older brother of Veltanava's wife (Milim's mother). The original feud lies between these two. Rudra does not believe in the need for a Demon King or a mediator, and comes to fight with the Demon King Guy, hoping that he will become his ally. Although the two do not become allies, they do become best friends. However, because they have different ideas, they begin a game in which they compete for world dominance using only the pieces they have at hand. They then promise to follow whoever seizes dominance. From this point on, it is said that karma follows the Demon King and the hero.
