《I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead》Prologue.
Advertisement
Prologue.
I’ve always dreamed of being summoned to another world. However, my wish wasn’t quite as normal as one may believe.
If one were to ask me what my present situation was, it could be surmised very easily.
It more or less went as follows.
“Hero we have summoned you to slay the demon king.”
The moment the king announced it as such, a palace guard burst into the room.
“Your majesty, the demon lord is dead!”
“What?!”
“Your majesty I shittith thou not! The previous hero who we thought was about to die... when he reached the demon lord’s castle, he somehow succeeded.”
“No way! That was the 45th summoned hero you know! Are you playing pranks with me? The prophecy said he would die a cruel, painful, and agonizing death you know!”
“It’s true your majesty. Just as the 45th hero reached the demon lord’s castle, the demon lord… he… he…”
“Out with it already you stuttering fool! He what?! Don’t keep your king waiting with his panties in a buncheth! Speak now!”
“He... had... a heart attack?” The guard had the most uncertain expression I’d ever seen any man sport.
The room turned dead silent. Like it were all some sort of sick twisted joke of the century.
When I realized the awkward situation I was now placed in, I opened my mouth to break the ice and asked, “then what about me?”
“Oh you? Well… we don’t really need you anymore.”
“We could send you back, but that would be a waste of the taxpayers money. Seeing as you have no major accomplishments and no one even knows you’ve been summoned yet, you can just die.”
When I heard that there was a way to be sent back I was a bit depressed. What happened to my unable to return and need to find a way back home route? When I registered the second part of his follow up, I felt like someone had abruptly smeared a nasty pile of shit on my face.

Thus, this was how I stumbled onto the path towards becoming the next demon lord.
I mentioned I’d always dreamed to be summoned to another world, right? Well, the reason my wish wasn’t quite normal was because rather than being summoned as a hero, I dreamed of being summoned to be the demon lord who slayed the heroes instead.
Mwahahaha!
As for that bastard king who wanted to kill me, I’ll certainly burn your kingdom to the ground if I’m given the chance you cheap, slimy prickish royal arse!

The Legion of Nothing
Nick Klein is your average high school geek--if you can still count as average when your grandfather is a retired superhero, and you've been trained in the martial arts by his friend, a mysterious, immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit, powered armor that allows him to shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with it comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team including the team's jet and trophies from forty years of fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends, descendants of his grandfather's teammates, attempt to bring back a superhero team that was originally formed during World War 2. Along the way they'll face the normal problems of high school (bullies, homework, and dating), and the less normal problems like supervillians and mysteries leftover from their grandparents' past. As a story, it uses the conventions of all eras of comics from the 1940s on, ranging from serious to silly. If you're hoping for a grim and gritty story, this isn't it. The Legion of Nothing first debuted on my website legionofnothing.com in 2007. In that period it's updated more than 900 times, is still running, and has had millions of pageviews. The first two years have been released as an ebook, receiving good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I hope you'll enjoy it, and that you'll review it and comment. You can also vote for it on Top Web Fiction and rate it on Web Fiction Guide. Member of The Order of Phantasmal Architects.
