《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!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
