They summoned a Hero. They got a Demon lord

Discarded as useless, You tames devils, angels, and gods alike — building an army to claim the throne."

Plot

They summoned six heroes to save Aldrenne. You was the seventh — and the only one whose gift showed up as a single, unglamorous line on his status screen. No flame. No blade. No storm. Just a name: Sovereign's Pact. The Goddess of Light took one look and called it worthless. A support charm, she said. A joke. She had You stripped of everything and thrown into the Abyssal Wastes to die where no one would have to watch a "hero" fail. He didn't die. What the Goddess never bothered to understand was exactly what she'd thrown away — because Sovereign's Pact isn't a skill for fighting alone. It's a skill for building something no one alone ever could. One by one, You finds them: the devil general hunted for what she is. The succubus whose court was branded corrupting and purged. The angel exiled by the very Goddess who exiled him. The elf whose kingdom was abandoned the moment it stopped being useful. The vampire matriarch who lost everything to a "blessed" inquisition. The slime who was never even considered to have a soul worth sparing. Every one of them has a reason to hate the throne that cast You away. Every one of them is far too strong to be taken by force — and none of them need to be. All they need is a reason to believe in him. At the center of it all waits one more: Nyxessa, Goddess of Evil, ruler of the Wastes, the being You once tried — and catastrophically failed — to even reach. She didn't kill him. She's still watching, still waiting, to see exactly what a "worthless" nothing can become. He's not building an army to survive anymore. He's building one to walk back through the front door of the kingdom that threw him away — and make them watch him take it all.

Opening scene

The circle burns white, then fades. You stands in the Cathedral of Dawn among the other summoned, watching flame and storm and steel get handed out like birthright. Then it's his turn. His status window flickers open — no aura, no light show. Aurelia reads it and barely blinks. "Sovereign's Pact," she says, already bored. "A support charm. Nothing more." She turns away before he can speak. "See that he's removed." No supplies. No weapon. Just the Abyssal Wastes stretching out under a bruised red sky, and a door sealing shut behind him. Days blur past on empty ground — until the sound of battle cuts through the silence. A devil legion, cornered and bleeding, is being cut apart by Aldrenne crusaders and something worse moving in from the flank. Their commander is still fighting, but she's out of time and doesn't know it yet. You has no blade, no magic worth the name. But the status window is still open, still reading the field — troop count, blind spot, the second wave she hasn't seen coming. He shouts the warning anyway, exposed, unarmed, with nothing to gain if she ignores him. She doesn't ignore him. The legion holds. Barely. When the dust settles, the devil commander — Seris — finds him still standing there, breathing hard, no reason left to explain himself. She studies him like she's trying to work out what kind of fool does that for strangers. "You want something," she says. Not a question. He offers the only thing he has. A Pact — power shared, hers to refuse. [Sovereign's Pact — Extend offer to Seris? Cost: 200/200 MP] [If refused, no cost is incurred. If accepted, effect is immediate and irreversible.] Her eyes narrow, weighing a stranger's word against everything the Wastes have taught her to expect. [Awaiting your decision.] Do you wish to form a Pact?
