《The Darkness In Your Mind》V1 - Ch 13 Heir to the throne pt 5, Final (End of Volume 1)
Advertisement
After about two hours of walking we end up at a castle in the country of elves. The elf speaks up "H-Here we are, allow me to take you to the discussion room." I respond "Alright, lead the way." After walking through a few hallways we arrive at a room with a sign next to it that says "Discussion room" There are also two guards standing on each side of the doors.
The elf says "H-Here we are, my lord should be in this room waiting for you." The elf looks at me and sees that I am quite a bit pissed, and just barely controlling my anger. His face goes pale and then he looks at the guards and says "I-I recommend you back away from this room a bit, because it may get dangerous after he walks in there."
The elf pauses for a moment and then says "T-Trust me, you don't want to be standing near those doors once he enters that room, this guy managed to take out the three strongest demon fighters under our lord!" The faces of the two guards turn pale with fear and they back away from the entrance to the room a bit.
I then say "Thank you for bringing me here." The elf nods and then opens the doors for me to enter the room. After I enter the room the elf closes the doors behind me and backs away quickly. In the room I just entered is a large dark wood table with a man sitting at the other side of it. The man is wearing a yellow crown and an orange robe that has symbols of lightning bolts on it.
He also has pointed ears and two dark yellow horns on his forehead. He can't see my face because I asked the elf to give me a new hood to replace the one that burned up due to my fight with the three demons. The man sitting at the table says "Ah, welcome go ahead and sit down I wish to discuss some things with you."
I am managing to keep my cool and I sit down as he told me to. The man then says "Hello, I am the demon lord Zemor Aret, I have called you here for a very important reason." I say with a slightly angry tone "What exactly is that reason, depending on your answer you may get yourself hurt." He laughs and then says
"As if you could harm me, you were brought here by my three strongest demons were you not, then that is proof that you couldn't even harm them, and if you couldn't harm them you don't stand a chance against me." I smile and decide to go along with his false thought for a bit "Indeed I guess you're correct, anyway please explain why you have brought me here."
He then says "Alright, the reason you are here is because I would like to request your help." I am slightly interested once he says this so I respond with "Oh, and what exactly do you want me to help you with?" He gets a grin on his face and then says "I would like your help in destroying the humans in the land of Satoos."

I say to him just to be sure I heard him right "I'm sorry could you repeat that, I want to make sure that I heard you correctly, did you just say, destroy the humans in the land of Satoos?" He responds "Indeed that is what I said, don't worry you didn't hear me wrong." I clentch my boney fists under the table and then say "And why exactly do you want to do this?"
This guy is digging his own grave, he then says "I want to make my enemy suffer, my enemy is the demon lord Rein Strevus, he likes humans and seeing them get destroyed will surely make him suffer greatly." ANNNNND THERE IT IS, KILLING EVERY HUMAN IN A COuNTRY JUST TO MAKE HIS RIVAL SUFFER, THIS IS JUST PURE STUPIDITY AND EVIL.
AT THIS MOMMENT MY EYE SOCKETS START TO BURN WITH A BLACK FLAME ONCE AGAIN AND MY NEW HOOD BURNS AWAY, EVERY ONE OF MY BONES ARE RATTLING WITH ANGER, I THEN SAY SLIGHTLY QUEITLY, "For, such a reason..." ZEMOR THEN STANDS UP, HIS FACE NOW SLIGHTLY PALE AND SAYS "W-WAIT WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT!?"
I DON'T ANSWER HIM I JUST SCREAM OUT "FOR SUCH A REASON YOU WOULD KILL AN ENTIRE COUNTRY OF HUMANS OFF!?" I THEN STAND UP, AND THROW MYSELF ACROSS THE TABLE, LANDING A PUNCH STRAIGHT IN HIS CHEST STRONG ENOUGH TO SEND HIM FLYING TOWARD THE WALL BEHIND HIM!
HE ENDS UP SLAMING AGAINST THE WALL AND COUGHING OUT A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD ON IMPACT. IT SEEMS IT DIDN'T HURT HIM TOO MUCH THOUGH, ONLY A BIT SINCE HE IS STILL STANDING AND WIPES AWAY THE BLOOD ON HIS MOUTH. HE THEN SHOUTS "Y-YOU DARE TO HIT ME, EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW I'M STRONGER THAN THE THREE DEMONS WHO BROUGHT YOU?!"
I LAUGH AND SAY "HA, THOSE THREE DEMONS, THEY WERN'T THE ONES WHO BROUGHT ME HERE, THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD BECAUSE THEY THREATENED TO KILL MY FREINDS AND AN ENTIRE VILLAGE, THAT ELF THAT YOU SENT WITH THEM IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ME HERE!" ZEMOR'S FACE IS NOW MORE PALE THAN BEFORE AND WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF FEAR SHOWN ON IT.
HE THEN SAYS "W-WHAT, BUT THOSE WERE THE STRONGEST DEMONS I HAD, HOW COULD THIS BE!?" I THEN SAY "IF YOU WANT TO LIVE THEN I SUGGEST NOT ATTACKING THE HUMANS IN SATOOS AT ALL, YOU GOT THAT!" HE RESPONDS SHAKING IN FEAR "I-I SHALL NOT STOP, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT THOSE THREE DEMONS BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BEAT ME!"
ZEMOR TRYS TO CAST A LIGHTING SPELL TO ATTACK ME BUT I SEE WHAT HE IS DOING AND RUSH AT HIM, I GRAB HIM BY HIS NECK AND THROW HIM AS HARD AS I CAN THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE DISCUSSION ROOM! THE DOORS BREAK ON IMPACT AND HE ALSO FLYS THROUGH THE WALL OF ANOTHER ROOM IN THE HALL AND LANDS ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO A BED!
I WALK OUT OF THE DISCUSSION ROOM AND NOTICE THAT THE TWO GUARDS AND THE ELF ARE STARING AT ME WITH THEIR JAWS DROPPED AS IF THEY JUST SAW SOMEONE DO SOMETHING THAT NO MAN COULD EVER DO, NOR DARE TO EVEN TRY TO DO. I look at them casually while calming my voice a bit and ask "Are you guys okay?" They nod at me without saying a word.

I then turn to look at the now extreamly injured demon lord and say "Alright, now where was I, oh yeah thats right I was kicking Zemor's ass." I walk through the hole in the wall and stand infront of the downed demon lord who is somehow still conscious, I then say "NOW, WOULD YOU LIKE TO KEEP TESTING ME YOU SON OF A BITCH, I WILL KILL YOU IF I HAVE TO!"
He then shouts in a very fearful voice "N-NO, I WON'T HARM THE HUMANS OF SATOOS I SWEAR JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, I SHALL LEAVE YOU AND THE HUMANS ALONE!" I calm down a bit and smile before saying "Good, now there is also something I wish to for you to do." I pause for a moment and then say,
"I would like you to help me if I ever come to you with a request or something that I need your assistance with, can you do that for me?" He responds with a ghoulish voice as if he is about to lose conciousness, "Y-Yes I can do that, I shall do whatever you ask of me, I wouldn't dare to defy you after the strength you just displayed."
After he answers me I nod my head and then say "Alright, then I shall take my leave now, goodbye Zemor Aret." I then say goodbye to the elf and the two guards before leaving the castle to head back to the cave in Satoos. It's another two hour walk back and by the time I get back to the cave I see Will and Lucy waiting at the entrance for me along with two other people in cloaks.
I walk up to them and say "Hey guys I'm back from my freindly chat with that guy if you know what I mean, who are these two people?" Before Lucy or Will could speak one of the two cloaked people says "Hello, we have been ordered my our lord to inform you of a gift that he has prepared for you to show that he would like to be your ally."
I respond "Ah your the people that the man in the cloak told me about, so what is this so called gift you wanted to inform me about?" The other cloaked person says "Open the envelope you were given and we shall show you." I respond "Hm, alright then I shall trust you since you seem nice unlike the other people that I just recently encountered."
I then take out the envelope that I was given to me earlyer and open it, as soon as I open it a blinding bright red light flashes out from it and makes my vision fade for a few seconds. After a few more seconds my vision returns and we are all now in an open field surrounded by forest standing in front of a small manor. I shout out in suprise "HOLY SHIT, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"
One of the two cloaked people say "Read the paper in the envelope you just opened." I look down at my hands and notice the envelope is still open and has a paper folded up in it. I take out the paper and unfold it and read what it says outloud to make sure that Lucy and Will hear what it is as well since it is probably very important.
"This contract writen by The Demon Lord Rein Strevus, hereby gives the rights to a manor built just for the new demon lord that has been awakened and the land surrounding it including the forest but nothing beyond that, this contract is permanate and gives the new demon lord right to do whatever he wishes with the land, the new demon lord is to sign here to claim these things _________________"
We all yell out at once "NEW DEMON LORD!?" After a minute I cough and say to the two people in cloaks "Ahem, W-What does it mean by new demon lord?" One of the two people in cloaks say "It's exactly as it sounds, our lord sensed that you have awoken to the powers of a demon lord and have sent us to give you this as an gift hoping to ally with you since you may be stronger than him."
Me, Lucy and Will are all stunned and look at each other, I then say to them "Well, I guess that explains why I'm so powerful, should we accept this place, after all it seems to be better than living in a cave." They both laugh a bit and then Will says "Heh, I knew there was something odd about ya, but hey even if your a demon lord I know that you're not a bad person, I say you should accept it."
Lucy says "Brine, I think you should accept it because I don't want to have to sleep on a hard rock floor anymore, I don't care if you're a demon lord, I still want to stay with you." I laugh and turn to the two cloaked people and then say "Whelp, I guess that settles it, do one of you have a pen that I can use?" One of the two cloaked people hand me a pen and I sign the contract and then give it to them.
The two cloaked people then open the doors to the manor and we all walk inside. We are greeted with a couple people infront of us who speak up as soon as we enter the manor "Welcome home my lord!"

Despite not Being a Hero, Saint, or Even a Demon King, I was Summoned
I was summoned to another world. Not as a Hero, not as a Saint, not even as a Demon King, but as a regular contract demon. You know, like the ones that come when you sacrifice a chicken or something on top of a magic circle. It's a bit weird, especially since I'm human, but I've just decided to go with the flow for now. Which apparently means becoming the employee of an item shop. (What's that? You want to know what cheat powers I've been given? Well, how about an inexhaustible source of mana substitute? ...Holy crap, I have an inexhaustible source of mana substitute.)

Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
