《I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead》Chapter 1.

Chapter 1.
Drip... Drip... Drip...
The only thing I heard was the dripping sound of liquid as it fell from the ceiling above. It splashed off a puddle formed on the ground and echoing loudly throughout the cave. As for everything in front of me; it was complete pitch black, as far as the eye could see. Not a single thing was visible in this spine chilling world of darkness that wore away at your soul.
The only thing I felt was the cold hard floor.
Right now, my objective was to become the next demon lord, one on the level that no other demon lord had ever attained. Now there was only one major problem I must first overcome. I’ve been tossed into the world’s most dangerous dungeon underneath the kingdom to die, all alone without any sort of aid.
Before I was kicked down here, they were nice enough and took the time to explain things to me like they took pride in the task they’d been given.
They took me to a large bottomless pit, but before they kicked me into it, like a certain spartan warrior, they chuckled sinisterly and said, “Hehehe. Kid you’re real lucky, you know that? Not many have the pleasure of dying inside this dungeon leisurely like this. This dungeon is the most dangerous dungeon in the world. Normally we use it to train heroes to the point they are strong enough to take on the demon lord. Most heroes go the normal route and start on the first floor. No hero has ever made it to the bottom floor like you’re about to. In fact, they usually stop at the 20th floor. After the 20th floor, the danger level spikes significantly and any hero that overestimates their prowess thinking they have any chance past that point for training typically die. However, you my friend, are a lucky man. We have an agreement to send down beings with large amounts of mana within their body to the bottom floor, the 100th floor to be specific, to feed the almighty existence who controls this dungeon.”
“This being is far more dangerous than any demon lord that has ever existed in this world. Apparently nobody knows, or at least no one remembers where they came from, but it is said that long, long ago, they were sealed down here by our ancestors. Our ancestors made an agreement with the being that was sealed here. Every year we are to send down food for it to feast on. In doing so, it provides us with a dungeon we can use for both the kingdom’s livelihood as well as a means to train the heroes. It also provides us with bountiful blessings for each sacrifice offered, the more mana the better.”
“Hehehe, we’ve never actually sent a hero down there before. The mana in your body is truly off the charts. The benefits the kingdom gets is entirely dependent on how satisfied that mysterious being down there is with the quality of the sacrifices. Usually we send down high leveled convicts captured by the heroes we groom, but a hero being sent down is a first for us since they typically all die before they slay the demon lord.”
“You should thank the princess who made such a brilliant suggestion; instead of simply being hung or beheaded, you get to contribute greatly to our kingdom by providing us with countless blessings.”

Yeah I really should punch that slut beside the king in the face the next time I see her, if I ever do see her again that is.
Those were a few of the things they explained to me before I was kicked off spartan style into this crappy abyss.
Apparently, I have a lot of mana, or at least all summoned heroes have a lot of mana. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use it. It was also made known to me that all heroes normally get an introduction to a magic academy when they are first summoned or after they go through some basic training in the dungeon. Bluntly speaking, they are fattened up like sheep, only to inevitably be slaughtered by the demon lord.
When I learned of all this, my desire to become a demon lord only intensified. This shitty other world should really have all its human inhabitants slaughtered. They just conveniently summon otherworlders so they can slack off and do nothing. Isn’t this far too disgusting and revolting to accept?
If anyone wondered why I was still alive after falling down 100 floors, that would probably be thanks to the floating notification that popped up in front of my chest when I hit the ground which said, “Immortal Object.”
I naturally understood what it meant right away. I realized my ass may hurt like hell, but I wouldn’t die. It seemed this convenient message meant I couldn’t die, but I still felt pain to the point I wished I was dead. I was immensely thankful that my fat ass didn’t land on a pole protruding from the ground like one would expect of a pitfall trap used to capture unsuspecting prey. Just thinking about it left me shivering in fear.
Shortly after that, I met the so called mysterious being who I was now food for. At first I was a bit ecstatic as it was a beautiful redhead vampire lady gifted in all the right places, with eyes reminiscent to that of a blood moon, but those expectations didn’t last for long.
My joy quickly took a turn for the worst when she came up to me and wordlessly sucked all the blood from my body. I quickly shriveled up like a prune and became an empty bag of blood.
Strangely enough, I didn’t feel any pain; rather, it felt unusually pleasurable when all my blood was drained away. When she finished sucking out all my blood, she turned away with the clear intent to take her leave. However, she only took a few steps before a message popped up in front of my chest again,
Just like before it read, “Immortal Object.”
The red haired vampire with an unmatched beauty stopped in her tracks and turned around when she detected something unusual. When she examined me again, I was dazed, entranced, and captivated when I stared deep into her blood moon eyes like a drunken idiot. Her eyes drew you in against your will as it tugged at your very soul.
That was also when I heard her voice for the first time. The first word that left her mouth was, “strange.”
Her gaze that left me entranced, I could tell exactly what I looked like in her eyes. It was actually really easy to describe, it only took two words in fact, “fast food.”
She walked back over to me and once again drained my body of all the blood that instantly regenerated after the immortal object message popped up earlier.

By now, I naturally realized what the cheat like power I was given as compensation for being summoned to this world. I was truly an immortal that could not be killed. I might’ve been a bit presumptuous to think that so audaciously with this very limited testing method, but after she drained my blood a hundred more times, that was the only possible conclusion I could come up with.
“Such good food exists? Tastes good and instantly regenerates? With something this good, won’t I be able to break out of this seal effortlessly? Ha! That damn hero of the past thought he could buy time for his world by sealing me down here. Luckily I successfully deceived him with that stupid agreement of a sacrifice every year so I could slowly accumulate my strength. That idiot probably never thought they’d throw something like this down here as a sacrifice.”
“I’m through with offering them compensation to get them to offer better stuff.”
“You, kid, who are you?”
I was a bit stunned by the sudden revelation of the red haired crimson eyed vampire girl directly in front of me.
“Are you mentally challenged or something? Can you not understand my words?”
When I still failed to respond, she scrunched up her brows and grabbed my hand. She then ripped my arm clean off of my body. She really seemed to have a bad temper. No, that really shouldn’t be my first thought.
Of course what followed was as one might expect.
“Aggggghhhhhhhh!”
I rolled around on the ground like a baby in tears. After five seconds, the message “Immortal Object” appeared once again in front of my chest and my arm instantly grew back.
“Oh? So you can say something after all. That regeneration is no joke either.”
“What are you doing?! Suddenly sucking me dry and ripping an arm off like that, are you a lunatic?! Do vampires have no decency?”
“Usually when I drain people’s blood they’ll at least cower backwards and ask what I am doing right away. Because of your lack of response at the onset, I thought you might have hit your head on the way down and became an idiot or something. When I drained your blood, you only put on a stupid pleasurable face and said nothing. Only when I ripped your arm off you finally screamed. I just wanted to make sure you weren’t incapable of speech. But, are you actually a bit slow in the head?”
“I’m not an id-”
“Now, answer me, what exactly are you, Mister Food?”
Ugh. At least let me finish. Whatever, forget it, it’s true that I lost myself captivated by her like an idiot when my eyes first landed on her. More importantly, “Mister Food? You know, I have a name.”
“Oh? But food is food, it doesn’t really matter to me if you have a name.”
“I have a perfectly good name, please at least use it!”
“Tch. Fine. Fine. What’s your name?”
“My name is… Eh? What was my name again?”
“Hahaha what the heck? So you don’t even have one after all? Really, why would some nameless fool like you be sent down here?”
“Well… I’m an unneeded summoned hero from another world I suppose. Right after I was summoned, the moment they were about to ask me to defeat the demon lord, a palace guard rushed in and announced the demon lord had perished due to a heart attack.”
“Eh? Really? A heart attack... are you serious? Tch. That useless subordinate of mine actually died of a heart attack?! Being sealed down here I can’t receive any news from the outside world to verify that information so quickly. Is it time to start preparations to send out a new provisional demon lord? Well, I don’t really need to do that now that I have a way to break the seal though.”
I felt like I’d heard a lot more ridiculous things just now.
“Although, in all honesty, I’m not really interested in the whole world destruction thing anymore after I’ve been sealed down here for so long and had time to think things through more clearly. Those little childish whims I had in the past have long cooled down.”
I almost couldn’t keep up with all the world shattering things that were casually being revealed before me.
“Uh... you just mentioned something about a provisional demon lord and your subordinate, right?”
“Oh what is it Chi Kaban?”
“Who?”
She just pointed her dainty little index finger directly at me like it was only natural.
“You’re my blood bag from now on. Hence, Chi Kaban.”
After I was begrudging named as such, I decided to let it go. I couldn’t remember my name anyways.
I continued on with what I wanted to find out from her and asked, “Who are you?”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“You really want to know?”
“I feel like I know the answer, but I still want to hear the confirmation from your mouth.”
“Well… I’m… your lover from a past life?”
“Like hell you are! Who are you really?”
She put on a troubled face and replied like it couldn’t be helped, “Look, I am… your mother.”
“Can you please be serious?!”
“You really wanted me to say I was your father?”
“Nonono, please stop trying to crack bad jokes here.”
“Tch. Fine. Fine. I’ll say it. I’ll say it. I’m the true demon lord, the progenitor of all demon lords so to speak, you got a problem with that? You happy now? I’m just an old granny that looks young! You trying to pick a fight with me? I’m probably your great umpteenth grandmother for all you know. You should be kowtowing towards me and rejoicing at becoming the food of this great grandmother of yours.”
Yep. That actually surpassed my expectations by a mile. I didn’t think she’d be troubled over her age with an appearance as youthful as hers. Why do women care so much about a stupid number anyways?
“Tch. Why am I trying to pick a fight with my food? Am I an idiot or something?”
Yep. This totally just happened. Before I came anywhere near my goal of becoming a demon lord, I somehow became the true demon lord’s blood bag who was already long forgotten in the present times.
Really? What is wrong with my summoned to another world story?

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.

Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
