《The Demon Lord’s Successor》2: Infodump
Advertisement
The previous Demon Lord is dead and his big-chested minion—and possibly his daughter— is kneeling before you. Wait! If she’s his daughter, and he said I’m his son, then... Your brain short-circuits when you realize the possability that you have a big-chested sister who is kneeling before you.
However, that is all the information you have. So, before you make any rash decisions you need to know what the actual situation is. You pause and try to figure out the best way to get answers out of the monster girl without making a fool out of yourself on your first day as a Demon Lord.
“On our way here you said things are much worse than I realized,” you speak to the minotaur girl slowly, in the deepest voice you can muster. “My... father is dead, and what little I have seen of this place fails to impress. What more are you not telling me? Speak!”
“Ah! Yes, My Lord!” She answers bowing her head. “I am sorry to inform you, but m-your father was gravely wounded in the Great War over fifteen years ago. Using Dark magic my sisters were able to save his life, but he was bound to these halls ever since!
The neighbouring kingdoms did not waste the opportunity and attacked our kingdom with combined forces, like vultures. It was the fastest fall of a Demon Lord’s kingdom in recorded history! Our enemies did not kill yor father, because they thought it was funny.
Our entire kingdom is now reduced to a couple of ruined halls, seven Goblins farming the rocky soil, and one of my sisters, who works in a brothel to earn money for basic supplies. Now villagers laugh when they hear the name Graf Wilhelm von Helmman.
Only two years ago your father’s condition imporved well enough to regain the ability to use summoning magic. The results were... varying. But we were finally successfull! And with your potential awoken, we will rebuild our kingdom and conquer this world once and for all!”

The minotaur girl stands up, her eyes shining brightly at the thought of world domination.
“Could I ask you to summon a couple dozen minions?” she asks you. “I realize it is impossibly easy, but for now we must not draw too much attention to ourselves. And it would help me greatly with protection of what little lands we have left so that I can focus on other tasks.”
Obviously she has great expectations of you, most likely based on your supposed father’s abilities. To figure out what your options even are you gather all the Isekai knowledge at your disposal and manage to successfully open a game-like Status tab.
Apart from your level and your class as a Demon Lord there is not much to look at. A button keeps flashing on and off in bright red letters.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
