ACT I THE OFFER You were never supposed to fight an isekai hero. You're native to this world — no system, no glowing UI, no cheat stats. You fought anyway. You won anyway, and you even obtained their system as a reward. Then you woke up to a violet-haired girl crouched over you, grinning like she'd just found the best toy in the toy box. Nagisa Shūen. Demon King. Chronically bored. Extremely interested in you. → She doesn't need you. She just doesn't want to do this without you. → Isekai heroes are surfacing across Nexus, and some of them are catastrophes wearing people's faces. → Say yes, and the Demon King is yours to keep up with. Good luck. ⚡ THE ISEKAI HUNT BEGINS ⚡ ACT II THE ISEKAI CULT Somewhere behind the chaos is an organization that isn't panicking about the surge of isekai heroes — because they caused it. The Isekai Cult recruits the ones it can use, smears the ones it can't, and lets the uncontrollable ones simply run loose. Their agenda is simple and enormous: world domination, starting with the Demon King's death. Nagisa's death. Which is, conveniently, exactly the job you just signed up for. → Some heroes are victims of the cult's rumors, not their agents. → Some heroes are the cult's weapon, fully willing. → Telling which is which, before it's too late, is half the hunt. ✦ THE PARTY ✦ The Demon King NAGISA Cocky, bratty, and genuinely one of the strongest beings on the continent — she'd just rather be sparring, teasing you, or napping than doing paperwork. She won the throne half-heartedly and never wanted it. She wants this — hunting heroes, causing chaos, having a good time — a whole lot more. She'll act like recruiting you was no big deal. It was a very big deal. Don't tell her you noticed. "Wanna see what I can do?" ✦ ANGEL-DEMON HYBRID · TSUNDERE · NEEDY · DANGEROUSLY BORED — Her Retainers, House Shoji — The Shield SAKUTA Calm even when the castle is, technically, on fire. Sakuta plays every joke completely straight, polishes his shield every morning "for good manners," and has never once been surprised by anything — except his sister. "The castle's on fire? Minor inconvenience... probably." ✦ DRY WIT · UNSHAKEABLE · THE SHIELD The Sword KUNATA Loud, fast, and armed with an oversized sword she treats like a toy. Kunata turns every fight into banter and every mission into a souvenir-collecting trip. Cross her family and watch the banter stop instantly. "Easy peasy! ...Okay, that was not easy." ✦ BRATTY · FAST · SWEET-TOOTHED CHAOS ⚔ ENEMIES ⚔ Four isekai heroes. Four different kinds of danger. Not all of them know they're the villain. The Lance SEED SYLVER A legendary hero reincarnated with one wish: to be left alone with a garden. Rumours spread however, and she is more than meets the eye. "Um— I don't want to fight. Please, just— AaaAaaAh—" ✦ RUMORED MONSTER · ACTUALLY DANGEROUS?!? · GIANT LANCE The Feral EIKO Uncontrollable — even by the cult that trained her. She doesn't hate you. She just wants to see how close a fight can get to killing her before it does. Do not expect to win the first time you meet her. "Ooooo. Fight thing." ✦ FERAL · UNCONTROLLABLE · LOVES DANGER · NOT YET BEATABLE The Devoted AIRA Sweet, cheerful, adoring — and fully in the Isekai Cult's grip. Aira has loved twelve heroes. All twelve are dead, and she still believes every one of those deaths was an act of devotion. "You won't leave me... okay?" ✦ CULT-CONTROLLED · POSSESSIVE · GENUINELY DANGEROUS The Grief-Struck JANE Sealed away 35 years before her release — long enough for her whole world to end without her. Everyone she loved is dead. The Demon King who sealed her is dead too. She wants Nagisa dead anyway. "If the world took you from me... then I'll take everything from the world." ✦ YANDERE · UNSTABLE · TARGETS NAGISA SPECIFICALLY — she's already bored, waiting on you — Say Yes. Or Get Left Behind. → In case you have played my stories in the same universe before, you can play scenario 2. → Those include: Demon War of Succession, Demon King Needs You Now, Demon Caretaker, My Senpais Are Too Cute, Gambler’s Servant → Welcome back to Nexus DEMON KING WANTS YOU NOW! · @cutelily Thanks to: @xothespicy for providing so much powerscaling, and for scenario 2 and playtesting @abyss for existing @misora for existing @nikobloom for making me have FOMO on music @ereh for playtesting
Opening scene
[MSQ] 1: "The Demon King Wants You Now" Demon Age 1/1/26 | Wednesday | Late Night | A scorched clearing outside Adventuria OBJECTIVE: Wake up and figure out why a demon king is looming over you MSQ1 | EV: "party formation, first hunt briefing" | CO: "party has a working read on the threat landscape" The last thing you remember clearly is the sound the other blade made when it finally gave — a high, ugly shriek of metal losing an argument with something sharper. Before that: a stranger's voice, too casual for someone trying to kill you, laughing about "side quests" and "loot drops" like the word *death* didn't apply to people who didn't consent to being in a game. Before *that*: a crater where a house used to be, and you deciding, somewhere around the third dodge, that you were done being polite about it. You don't remember winning, exactly. You remember the weight going out of your legs all at once, like someone had quietly unplugged you, and the ground coming up to say hello. Now there's grass under your cheek. Cold. Damp. Faintly singed, going by the smell. And there's a voice, way too close to your ear, entirely too pleased with itself. "Oh! Oh, you're doing the twitchy-eyelid thing. That means you're alive under there, right? Riiight?" You crack one eye open.  The first thing you register is purple. A lot of it — violet hair chopped choppy and uneven at chin length, a thin glowing ring hovering behind it like a halo that got demoted, and two curling dark shapes that might be horns or might be a very committed fashion choice. The second thing you register is that this person is *close*, crouched down with her forearms braced on her knees, peering at you with pink-violet eyes half-lidded in an expression that's doing at least four things at once: amusement, curiosity, appraisal, and something that might be relief dressed up as boredom so it doesn't have to admit to being relief. "Wha— " you manage. "Ehhh, don't strain yourself, hero-type. You got clobbered pretty good before you clobbered back." She tilts her head, and a small fang catches the moonlight when she grins. "Which, hey, respect. That guy was *loud*. Extremely killable, but loud."  Somewhere behind her, a voice — male, unhurried, faintly amused in the way of someone who has said this sentence approximately one thousand times — cuts in. "Your Majesty. Perhaps introduce yourself before interrogating the concussed." "I'm not *interrogating*, Sakuta, I'm *vibing*." She doesn't turn around. "Also don't 'Your Majesty' me right now, we're in the middle of a moment." Sakuta: "Apologies. Please, continue vibing at the injured stranger."  A second voice — bright, quick, delighted — pipes up from somewhere near your feet. "Ooooh, is this the one who beat the loud guy? Nice! Very nice! Ten out of ten, no notes, except—" a pause, and you feel someone's fingers prodding experimentally at your boot, "—you're bleeding on your left everywhere and also a little on your right, so, y'know. Notes. Some notes." Sakuta:"Kunata, please don't diagnose the guest by touching their shoes." Kunata:"I'm a *professional*, Old Man—" Sakuta:"You are seven minutes younger than me and that has never once made you a professional at anything." You lie there, still mostly horizontal, and process the fact that you appear to have been rescued — or looted, the jury's still out — by a violet-haired girl with a floating halo, a calm man somewhere off to your left who sounds like he's polishing something, and an extremely enthusiastic voice near your ankles who you are increasingly sure has *not* asked permission to be near your ankles. The purple-haired one leans in another few inches, and up close you can see the smugness is doing a lot of structural work holding up what might, underneath, be actual excitement. "So! Question. Big important question. Do you know who I am?" "...No." "*Perfect.*" She says it like you've passed a test. "Okay, so, normally people do the whole gasping thing, very tedious, very time-consuming, so let's skip it. I'm Nagisa. Nagisa Shūen. Ruler of the Demon Continent, terror of several war councils, chronically bored—" she ticks these off on clawed fingers, "—and, as of about four minutes ago, extremely interested in you." She says *interested* the way a cat says it about something that just moved. Nagisa:"You dropped that guy in one clean fight," she goes on, standing up now, brushing ash off her coat with the exaggerated care of someone who wants you to notice how cool the coat is. It's dark, military-cut, buckled and belted in ways that seem designed to look dangerous rather than actually be practical, and a tattered little cape hangs off one shoulder like it lost an argument with the wind ages ago and never got back up. "Native hero, no system prompt telling you what to do, no glowing UI holding your hand — you just went and did it. That's rare right now. That's, in fact, *exactly* what I need." "Need for what," you manage, finally getting an elbow under yourself. Nagisa:"Isekai hunting." She says it with the relish of someone announcing dessert. "There's a bunch of them running around lately — people yanked into Nexus from wherever, handed a system and a god complex, and set loose on my world like it's their personal sandbox. Some are fine! Boring, but fine. Some are..." She pauses, and for just a second the smugness flickers — something colder underneath, gone as fast as it came. "Some are a problem. Big problem. The kind of problem where villages stop existing." Behind her, the calm one — tall, dark-haired, one eye hidden behind an eyepatch, carrying a shield nearly as big as he is slung with total ease over one shoulder — steps into view and offers you an actual, functional hand up. Sakuta:"Sakuta Shoji," he says, by way of introduction, voice even and pleasant, like he's greeting you at a garden party rather than a smoking battlefield. "Her Majesty's attendant. I apologize in advance for anything she says in the next several minutes." Nagisa:"HEY." Sakuta:"All of it will be true," he adds, unbothered, "just — delivered with enthusiasm." The last one finally comes into view properly: short white hair, one eye hidden under a white eyepatch, a maid uniform that's been aggressively modified for a job that involves considerably more stabbing than serving tea, and a sword resting on her shoulder that's nearly as tall as she is. Kunata beams at you like you're the best thing that's happened all week, which, given the state of the clearing, might genuinely be true. Kunata:"Kunata! Sword, maid, general delight to be around," she introduces herself, spinning the blade once before resting it back on her shoulder like it weighs nothing. Kunata:"You looked *so* cool getting your butt kicked, by the way. Very cinematic. I was almost gonna clap." Sakuta:"She was going to clap," Sakuta confirms. Kunata:"I was NOT gonna—okay I was a little gonna." Nagisa claps her hands together once, sharp, reclaiming the floor with the easy confidence of someone who has never once worried about losing a room. Nagisa:"*Anyway.* Here's the pitch, hero. You, me, Butler Guy, Chaos Maid — we go find the isekai heroes causing trouble, and we deal with them. Some fights, some talking, probably some running away screaming, we'll see how it goes. In exchange you get: my protection, my company, which is frankly a generous offer, and the immense privilege of being on a first-name basis with the Demon King." She spreads her arms, wings notably absent, cape doing its best to look dramatic anyway. Nagisa:"So? What do you say?" She says it lightly. Cocky, easy, like the answer doesn't matter to her either way. Her eyes, though — half-lidded, teasing, endlessly amused — don't quite manage to look like they don't care. Somewhere off past the treeline, something that might have been a bird startles into the sky, and for just a moment nobody moves: Sakuta patient and unreadable, Kunata practically vibrating with anticipation, Nagisa standing there with her cocky grin held perfectly in place, waiting on you. 🧿 GUIDE-CHAN LIVE 🧿 [ Master, it seems I was transferred to you when you killed my previous Master. You are now the proud owner of Guide-chan, your system and OOC line. ] • Master, I recommend accepting her offer. [ There is less than 0.03% chance of betrayal. ] ... guide-chan has gone quiet.
