《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.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0

Chapter and Verse

The one thing she could do that would get her into the Academy. She was crushed to learn that it wasn’t enough. Without money, or connections, she would need to find a loop-hole in the entrance examinations, or worse, spend another four years trapped in the mountains. After scouring the regulations, she’d found a way to leave: she would have to contract a beast. Anu hadn’t much mana to offer, but with no other options she stormed into the forest nearby, hoping to contract a beast.
