"The Level 1 Demon King and the One-Room Hero," scheduled to air sometime in 2023, is a work that combines the worldview of heroes and demon kings common in RPGs like Dragon Quest with a modern-day setting. As a result of combining the fantastical worldview unique to RPGs with the modern, harsh worldview of today, the story follows a hero who saved the world but is now no longer needed, a hero who has the talent to be a hero but is unable to adapt to the harsh modern world, and a demon king who is shocked by the hero's current situation after being resurrected. In this article, we'd like to introduce one of the two main characters, the demon king!
The demon king is defeated by a party led by hero Max!
The Demon King, the king of the demon world who threatened the human world, was defeated by a party of heroes led by the hero Max. However, the Demon King has seven lives. He vowed to return and exact his revenge. Ten years after his defeat, the Demon King was resurrected, just as he had said before he died. The Demon King's real name has never been revealed, and even Max does not know it.
The Demon King is resurrected in an incomplete state, becoming a tiny, puny figure
Although the Demon King was the hero's arch-enemy, he recognized his strength more than anyone else. Perhaps it was a kind of respect that comes with being a powerful man. In any case, the Demon King rushed to resurrect so that he could face the hero again, and after 10 years, he was resurrected. However, 10 years was apparently too short for the Demon King, and he was resurrected as a tiny, puny figure with a low head-to-body ratio.
The Demon King was originally a muscular, fearsome figure!
When he was engaged in a fierce battle with the hero, the Demon King looked exactly like a demon king, a muscular monster with a terrifying third eye and horns. However, after his resurrection, he was reduced to the appearance of a child, a far cry from his Dragon Quest final boss-like appearance. While his third eye and horn remain, his body is underdeveloped due to a lack of accumulated magical power.
The Demon King is astonished to see the hero in such a state!
The Demon King was eager to face the Hero again, and immediately after his resurrection, he attempted to fly to Max the Hero. His third eye was equipped with the ability to sense life vibrations, allowing him to sense the Hero's presence. When he attempted to fly in response to that presence, his subordinate Zenia somehow stopped him, but despite his warnings, the Demon King flew away. The Demon King flew to a place where he found Max the Hero, living a dissolute life in a one-room apartment. He was a completely different, useless old man, and it was hard to believe he was the Hero who had defeated him.
Max, the hero, becomes the internet's plaything while the Demon King is away!
After defeating the Demon King, the hero was unable to find or know any other way of life, and had no way of surviving in modern society. Moreover, after defeating the Demon King, he became too cocky, and his constant womanizing and drinking led to allegations of underage sexual misconduct and violent incidents. He was even suspected of drug use. While the drug allegations were completely unfounded, Max had become a complete plaything for the internet. Completely ruined by the harshness of modern society, the hero Max was living a self-indulgent life in a one-room apartment.
The Demon King, unable to bear the fallen hero, begins to take care of him!
After the Demon King's disappearance, the Demon King saw his former nemesis, who had lost his role and become completely disgusted with the world, but realized that he had not lost his strength or pride, he forcefully decided to let Max live in his apartment and began to take care of him.
The Demon King is actually a good wife and mother who is skilled at housework!
The Demon King is a good wife and mother who enjoys cooking, laundry, and other household chores. She's also a skilled cook, especially when it comes to cleaning the room. Despite their differences, they end up living together, and after a while, they become completely accustomed to each other, and at first glance, their relationship seems like that of a married couple. While Max struggles to adapt to the peaceful world after defeating the Demon King, the Demon King seems to have adapted well to the peaceful world, thanks to his housekeeping skills and the many subordinates who admire him.
The Demon King with the Ability to Transform! Transforms into a busty beauty with long, black hair
The Demon Lord has the ability to transform. After her resurrection, she appears as a young girl with horns and a third eye, but when she goes out, she appears as a busty high school girl with straight black hair. At first, Zenia forced her to transform while still wearing her young girl's clothes, making her look like a slut who could easily be seen everywhere, but later she begins to wear normal clothes.
Level 1 Demon Lord, but at level 1, she's not very strong!
The Demon King was revived in a hurry to fight the hero again, so he has barely regained his strength. He's not very strong, as he was easily defeated by Max when he got serious. However, he still seems to have some basic abilities, and is proficient in magic spells such as transformation spells, teleportation, and illusion.
Demon King! I want to scout promising people!
The Demon King is interested in recruiting talent, and would like to recruit the hero Max as a demon if possible. Ten years ago, he tried to recruit a hero, just like in the original Dragon Quest, but was turned down. Ten years later, Max, who had once again become disgusted with society, gave a presentation to the Demon King about reincarnating the hero as a demon, but was turned down. He tries to recruit anyone promising, not just Max.
The entire demon world is super white!? This makes me want to be reincarnated!
In the Demon King's presentation, the demon world offered an extremely white-collar working environment, with high salaries, five-hour workdays, a full four-day work week, no overtime, mandatory paid leave, and other excellent benefits. If anyone working in modern society saw this, they'd be furious and want to sign a contract to become a demon.
