DO NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW EVERY DETAIL ABOUT HOW THE SECOND BOOK WAS PLANNED
Planning shit time.
Logan Rivers. At terms with everything he's done.
Remaining plot points from book 1:
Ophelia? What the fuck, why the fuck did I do this, I must have some form of brain damage for adding this character in this way. Holy shit, holy fucking shit I have actual brain damage Demon. Meets MC much later when he eventually goes back to earth (around half way point?) Time travel. (solved) Creating conglomerates of worlds (solved by adding world levels) Worlds of the same era are generally grouped together. Address the first cycle that was mentioned in the final chapter of book one. Re-encounter with demon from floor uuuuuuuuhhhhhh floor 34 of book 1 (level 4 demon: greater demon) MENTION THE ORIGINAL CYCLICAL TIMELINE.!!!! ←
New Plot points! (to consider)
General points:
Worlds until I can't write any more worlds. Start with 30, should be plenty with part chapters. 40? Again, maybe, but the chapters will be considerably longer in order for More writing practice for this one. In that, vary the worlds as much as possible, but start tame. Somehow have power scaling for the Mc so he becomes more powerful over time, but dont make it dumb, for the love of fuck, dont make it dumb somehow, it isnt dumb Demon power levels and scaling and shit like that. Fuck it, worlds have level. First 10 have a low level and then rapidly increase in complexity. Worlds can be literally anything. Ranging from earth like to a straight up fantasy world with magic and shit. Future tech, just fuck my shit up and be imaginitive for once in my god damn life. When a magical world ends due to a demon's corruption. Boom. (when a large amount of power collects… just look at a collapsing star)
The inner workings of demons:
How the fuck do demons destroy worlds in the first place???????????????? This power warps and corrupts, can be used to manipulate people and to change places into something vile and inhospitable to normal people that are not demons. Has to be done actively, and never done passively. True Names are required to manipulate anything. To reverse the effects of a demon's corruption, the MC will need to reverse engineer the other demon's spirit. MC is the first to do this just due to circumstance Mc talks to himself while trying something and when it works he says, "What the fuck, I was just pulling something out of my ass." I've hinted at demons working their way into governments, starting wars, and perhaps even detonating warheads and the like. But there has to be an alternative method where a war simply wouldn't end the world. Could always just say fuck it and use 'magic' but that's boring. If I was going to use magic, I would have to create a whole fucking system for 'demon magic' that differs from normal magic. (consider this anyways) ("insert the most depressed husk-like creature possible" there's multiple systems including ones for demons.) I think it's something related to the 'power' or 'wrongness' that Logan feels before and during his time as a demon. It obeys the intentions of the person who is using it, and has the power to corrupt. (THIS ONE) To find a demon is very challenging, as they can 'deactivate' their spirit in order to blend in . One method is to hope they don't fully 'deactivate' their spirit. Another is to probe using MC's own spirit. It works every time but the demon will be told the MC's location as well. To become a true demon potential methods (end goal is merge soul and spirit): Know thyself. One requirement is knowing how to manipulate the spirit and the soul.

Demon Levels:
Spirit is measured in numbers and separates the levels of demons Level 1: Fledgeling Demon 1-10 spirit What every demon starts as Can still be killed by starvation and other brutal means. Very weak regeneration that can restore lost limbs over nearly a decade. Level 2: Lesser Demon 11-20 spirit Knowledge on more advanced demonic abilities. (traveling between worlds) Can still be killed by starvation and other brutal means. Weak regen that can restore limbs in a few years. Level 3: Common Demon 21-30 spirit Understand how to manipulate themselves. (no more food or water and regrowing limbs) Immortality starts here Level 4: Greater Demon 31-40 spirit Can manipulate other demons to a lesser extent. (regrow another's limbs) Level 5: True Demon 41+ spirit Requires insane mental fortitude to become one, or you WILL die. A merging of the spirit and soul that happens almost naturally when there is enough spirit and the understanding that they are nearly one in the same. Demons gain power by destroying worlds. MC (once he learns it) gains trickles of power when dismantling the corruption caused by other demons. Mc also gains a lot more once he learns how to kill demons level 3 and above as low level demons power is so inconsequential that even the MC gets barely anything from it..
World Levels:
Level 1 Basic bitch, no complexity, only targeted by Fledgeling Demons. Indicated by the fact that magic is rare and weak, and usually only one dominant species. Level 2 Magic, science and other complex crafts are more common. Targeted by up to Common Demons. This level will be the meat of the story. Many species and complex societies. Level 3 Space faring civilizations. Either through tech, magic or other means. Targeted by every type of Demon. Have natural resistance to demonic corruption and can prove challenging for nearly every True Demon Nearly infinite diversity.
Legit Plot Info:
Make sure to focus on the effects of the destruction. The people, the world, the MC Maybe move to storylines and repeating characters around chap 5 Alter the progress the demon has made before the MC gets to a world (sometimes before during or after the demon has gotten there) Make one where the demon is only a few days from completion and the MC pulls a victory out of his ass. At the start, the floor 40 demon is moving the MC around, making the MC figure it out on his own eventually. Demons inherently hate working with one another, but companionship and cooperation aren't unheard of What happens when the MC eventually kills a lesser demon in a companionship with a True Demon? (spoiler: its ugly) MC can't inherently use the systems (magic, runes), but will require all of them as a whole in order to formulate a method to kill demons There are only 10 True Demons in all of reality MC works with the True Demon on floor 40 to create multiple ideas for something that can kill a demon. Floor 40 True Demon will help kill the other True Demons (he is middle of the pack) MC probes a demon and when he is found he just says he is here to help as ordered by a True Demon. When asked who: "Come one man, you know the higher ups. They don't tell us anything." Time travel requires the true name of time + something more. A pinch of sugar and everything nice - [anonymous] 2022 In order to manipulate time, you have to have the power of a True Demon. Time is the most powerful essence and in order to control it, it must be overpowered with the power of a demon. What is that something more? [:)] What if one of the true demons has traveled through time multiple times and there are like 20 copies of themselves. To balance it, I would have to add some sort of downside to time traveling that much, maybe add some kind of stacking corruption effect where if you travel through time too much your mind falls apart.

How to kill a demon:
Some way to kill demons grabbed from various worlds Consider the following: kill myself. (the puzzle box with the metal spikes; expand on it.) TO KILL A DEMON YOU NEED TO RIP AWAY THE SPIRIT THEN DESTROY THE SOUL To destroy the soul, you need its true name. Ripping a soul away from the spirit is hard enough as it is, but it is nigh indestructible without the true name. A true demon will perhaps merge the soul and the spirit, so killing them requires you to rip them apart in whole, a challenge never achieved before Perhaps have a lich like demon where they store their soul in a hidden away vessel Multi spirit or multi soul demon
Worlds:
This one fails, the world is still destroyed and Logan must understand that he can't always win, and in fact, rarely will, even with demons who have no idea what they are doing. One day I will write things like a normal author, instead of just leaving it all for later to 'build suspense'. Fuck off. Look at new plot points for an answer, hopefully it's there. IT'S THERE, I FIGURED IT OUT. Demon goes for the method of natural corruption and as it spreads, it gets harder to stop MC gets his weapon back in the briefing before the next world. Medieval era world, no magic, no bullshit. Demon and Mc have an eventual encounter after the MC stupidly exposes himself and they try to lynch him. Demon tries to kill the MC because of things the MC knew, but they were both kind of stuck as they realized neither could kill the other in open combat Demon continues to destroy the world and cause a cataclysm. MC fucks it up in an important moment, world ends and he is moved back to talk with the other demon about strategies to better stop the other demon. MC doesn't know how to 'hide' his powers of being a demon. Another medieval era world, but this one is strife with overpopulation due to the fact that they only need water to survive here, and eating food is a luxury only afforded to the well off and the blatantly rich. Replaced one of the lord's sons and is working their way up the hierarchy. Starts as a conscripted soldier and quickly works his way up the ranks with sharp wit and tenacity. Team Head, Platoon Head, Commander, High Commander. Immediately gets found as a demon, but due to funky history, is treated well instead of poorly. Keeps it a secret regardless in hopes to find the other demon. Finds out another country is working with a demon, and the MC doesn't have to wait long as said country declares war on the one the MC is in. Other Demon doesn't know about MC, but they still never meet. One of a few worlds where demons are heralded as a good thing. No magic The demon in this one is hard to find as they seem to be working with the leader of a country the MC can't get into without getting thrown into prison. MC this time manages to hide the fact that he isn't like everyone else a lot better, but does end up pretty hungry a lot of the time due to this. A war starts and a lot of people die. Many more civilians that one would think was necessary were slaughtered, then by the end of the war as the main character just begins to work with some higher up people after showing some competence in combat, the other country becomes corrupted and the other demon is still nowhere to be seen. Even as the world ends, the MC never once sees the other demon. Returns to floor 40 to strategize, and potentially learn a way to find other demons even if they are hiding themselves. A completely empty word, where there are only plants, no bugs, no people, no civilization. Addendum explaining demon levels, at least a little bit to the MC one he goes back to the floor 40 demon. MC is able to find the other demon almost immediately due to the fact that the other one didn't hide their presence at all because they thought there wouldn't be anyone. Funny long fight that MC loses. Other demon begins the corruption process. MC fucks around and manages to figure out how to reverse it mostly on accident. Another encounter with the Demon, and MC beats the shit out of him and kills him Low fantasy with light magic. More renaissance than medieval. Nothing more dangerous than burning down a small village. Combat lizards and other small animals. [Moriko] Wrong place, wrong time. The other demon never wanted any combat and just wanted to corrupt the world and leave. Starting to learn some magic, but it doesn't quite work. Trains a lizard, uses it while he's in the world, but leaves it behind as he moves to the next. Some small friendships, but nothing deep, as the MC knows he will leave once the corruption is cleared. Demon just leaves because they don't want to fight with another demon that knows how to clear the corruption. MC feels empty because he couldn't find the demon until it leaves, making him feel like the victory is rather hollow. MC and the demon arrive at roughly the same time, neither ever finds the other. No fierce battles, just make this one about exploring as the MC destroys the corrupted areas created by the demon. Eventually, the demon will just get fed up and leave, leaving the MC victorious, but it is a hollow victory as he clears up the last few spots of demonic corruption. First real unnatural world. Super hot during the day, super cold at night. Dual star system. No advanced tech, and fairly primal cultures barely even having fire and past the stage of being tribal. The MC arrives near the end of the corruption, as the demon had been in the world for several years already. MC does his best to clear up the corruption, but it's just too late for the MC to do anything to reverse the corruption as it seems to be spreading faster than the other corruption he has dealt with. MC ends up losing in a confrontation with the demon and is forced to leave as the world falls to corruption. High fantasy world; magic however does not ever become more powerful than destroying a village. There isn't any natural water on this planet as it is too hot (desert planet.) He does manage to get water from others, but it almost makes him thirstier when they give him water, so the MC is forced to learn the magic to give himself drinkable water. The people of the world are grateful for the help, and offer to teach the MC more, and he actually takes them up on the offer and spends a bit of time actually learning the basics of magic and how to actually use it with his demon powers. MC struggles as he attempts to learn some kind of magic to create water. He can last without it for roughly three weeks at this point, but ends up cutting it rather close and learns how to create drinkable water. MC clears the corruption, but realizes the demon is nowhere to be found. As if they were so sure of themselves that this world would be destroyed, they left before it was destroyed. MC clears all the corruption and leaves. Dual planet world with fairly uninhabited lands due to rampant corruption that was already there. Esoteric Runecrafting (magic with runes, and only a small number of the surviving members of the people know it(plenty of books on it, just no one can derive any meaning from a lot of them)) The demon who arrives at the same time as the MC had destroyed the other world that pushed itself into this dual planet system roughly a decade ago. They are captured, and are being questioned. They notice the MC is a demon during some point and tries to blame him but gets hit with the 'ok buddy'. Persuades them by showing that he is capable of reversing the corruption that plagues their world. This is significantly more complex and only works because he killed the demon that corrupted the other world (it's the one that managed to get themselves captured) Has time for this as healing the other world, while good experience, takes a lot of time. A corrupted world fell into a dual system with a healthy planet and was starting to corrupt it long before the Demon and the MC even arrived. World is already in full chaos making it easy for the MC to fit in, the demon this time, manages to get blamed and is super easy to find. MC gets found out as a demon, but manages to convince the people of the world that he is on their side and trying to save them. Make this a longer one where the MC not only clears the corruption from the world with living people on it, but actually finds a way to heal a corrupted world using the same method of sending off corruption in progress MC spends a lot of time in this world trying to learn runecrafting. A planet mostly submerged in water where most of humanity lives in bio-domes under the water. No magic, make the danger just basic extinction, lmao. This almost kills the MC but a rescue team saves him. Complete and utter failure on the MC's part. MC spends time with the demon on floor 40 to create a magic with the runes and normal magic methods so that the MC can breathe underwater if need be. MC spends time trying to find the demon while stopping corruption, but struggles as getting the permits to travel between the domes is super tedious. They eventually find out that it's the MC stopping the corruption and remove his need for new permits every time he travels to another dome. MC finds the demon eventually using the new pinging method and combat starts. MC and the demon both nearly drown as they collapse one of the larger domes. Another combat encounter later and the MC is just too weak to do anything to stop this demon. The other demon gets restricted wherever they go, but they start slaughtering everyone they encounter without caring for the consequences. MC fails to save this world as the demon can just move too quickly and the corruption in the deep water is just too hard to stop. A 'peaceful' high tech world. The world itself will have a long history of violence and war, and hidden below the surface that even both the demon and the MC will be unaware of, there are powers larger than them at work, hidden from view. They were cocky and left their veil down as the people of the world didn't react negatively to it. This only happens for so long before the people of the world start banding together and clearing the corruption themselves. They develop tools and devices to locate and stop the oddity that is corruption. Corruption involves true names. The true name of the world is twisted and in that, forces things to change in ways that not many can predict. In this case, it twists it in a way that prevents electrical systems from working and fills the air with a toxic gas. That is not enough to kill the people of this sufficiently advanced world. How the MC stops this corruption was intuitively returning the True Name of the world to normal while not even knowing the True Name of said world. Luck, some would call it, dumb luck some others. Corruption is purple Normal is colorless Sanctuary is blue The 'lines' the MC sees are purely a visualization of a concept of the True Name. The Visualization doesn't change even as the True Name changes. By manipulation of this visualization of a concept, the MC can actually manipulate the True Name in several ways. Sanctuary is caused by this manipulation, it is kind of like vaccinating against a virus. While it won't stop a direct attack, there is now a passive immunity to the previous corruption. This technique can be applied to a broad amount of subjects, but the difficulty rises with the complexity of the concept visualized. Lightly explain what corruption actually is and what it truly does to a world, and why the Mc is actually capable of stopping it. MC recognizes her, but they do not recognize the MC. Even using some of the techniques he learned to sense demons, she's already long gone. Reality is that ophelia was watching the MC and the other demon and upon being sighted, made a break for it halfway across the world before the MC could even attempt to follow her. (Ophelia is level 4) MC does however only catch a glimpse of her. This sets his mind off as he follows her to potentially get some answers, but she is gone before the MC can talk to her. Demon goes for corruption method, completely unaware that the Mc has found them MC starts to fight the corruption caused by the demon on his own. Ophelia appears here for a short time. Final tutorial world, and the last of the Level 1's to be featured. This world is nearly identical to earth roughly twenty years before the first nukes were ever launched. Good fucking luck finding anything in a world with as many people as this one. At one point there is an alliance between them when they both get locked up in the same high security prison, but the alliance is short lived After escaping, there is a battle between the main character and the demon that destroys a few small cities. Small little thing to talk about how the 'tutorial' is now over and that the MC has reached Level 2. He is now a lesser demon and not a fledgeling demon. No more food or water soon. MC can now travel between worlds on his own and can now pick his own destinations, but is advised not to go to earth until he is at least a level 3 demon or he will be killed in no time flat. Here is where the preliminary groundwork for the method that the MC and floor 40 demon to kill demons will be laid out. How exactly it's going to work is still a bit beyond me, but I'm sure I can bullshit something into reality around this point. MC has to combat a world that is skeptical of demons and magic as he tries to find the demon and combat the corruption. MC and the demon both end up constantly on the run as both are put on the most wanted lists and chased with weapons that hurt them. The main character feels no remorse for the loss of human life as he stares at the lifeless corpse of the demon. MC clears the rest of the corruption Steampunk world that when the MC arrives, the demon isn't there. Standardized political model (earth basis). [Vocal] Magic will be a classical low fantasy style and fairly weak, as it is just introduced. Magic will roughly equal the power of some of the weapons by the end of the chapter. (4 years after magical revolution) The MC currently has no way to kill Level 3 (common) Demons. MC works with the Floor 40 demon and they develop a prototype weapon that might work (spoiler: it won't, but it'll be close) Steampunk era with gears, clocks and obviously lots of steam. Demon arrives probably five years after the MC, and when they do, the Mc notices a massive shift with a magical revolution. MC has worked into a position of high power (scholar, teacher, I want something school related. Because schools are usually up there with the government in steampunk stories.) MC finds the demon by accident after probing people, and a big battle ensues. Demon starts corrupting the world after partially losing the battle. MC fails to kill the demon and it escapes the world to avoid the hassle. Lesser demon MC vs 'immortal' common demon. Modern society, but with super powers. There is some sort of political system based on a council type structure with the people in it being the most 'powerful' superheroes. MC ends up meeting these people a few times and they seem smart, but rather hot headed. Main character tests the weapon he created using his knowledge of runes and magic, only to find it is capable of grievously injuring, but not killing the demon. (make this absolutely brutal, show that the MC feels absolutely nothing but hatred towards demons) MC was easily clearing the corruption now that he knew how it worked, so catching up to the demon was easy. Following a pattern made by a demon trying to run away was stupidly simple for the MC at this point. This time he manages to catch her off guard as she was certain that the MC had already left and she was going to spend a bit of time relaxing. Cue the "fancy meeting you here." as the Mc pulls out a chair beside her in a restaurant of some kind. They have a pleasant short conversation about demons and how Ophelia was forced to time travel by the MC's other self. (The other MC doesn't exist in this timeline as he never once used time travel himself. Completely preventing the current him from meeting the other him, as confusing as that sounds.) Technically he does exist as the floor 40 demon, but even the demon himself doesn't know that MC laughs off the experience, but just wonders what would have happened all those years ago in that forest if she hadn't come to stop him. Make it so that it was a nearly successful suicide attempt and his life spiraled even more out of control in that timeline. Nothing major really happens, just some light plot info and the MC says his goodbyes and leaves, that's it. If I start a romance subplot, I will actually kill myself. There is already so much shit to keep track of, I am not adding women to this. Superpowers are pretty tame all things considered. Can run double the speed of a normal person, can lift double the weight. Very, very rarely, there are those that have ten times the strength or speed, and they usually end up on the council. The demon appears to be Level 3 (common), so the main character is going to have a rough time trying to kill them. Demon runs away from the world after encountering the MC paired up with some of the world's strongest to try and take it down. MC gains little knowledge while in this world, but as he is about to leave, he once again spots Ophelia. Fantasy Western. Wild west, but with magic? How the fuck is this going to work, I dont know, but just make it work. Sheriff vs criminal. The demon is obsessed with committing small crimes. Demon and the MC have a duel in a funny stereotypical way. The corruption is less of a plot point in this one MC becomes a sheriff to hunt down the demon town through town. Crafting world of some kind. Lets say its a mid fantasy world but most of the cities and stuff are underground due to massive monsters that roam the surface of the world. We got dwarves, we got humans and we got probably fish people. It is forced to leave the world or be tortured by the main character. MC learns a lot of crafting skills and techniques while fighting against the demonic corruption. The demon in this world is a coward and is hard to find, but is incredibly weak, even for a level 3. Here is where the MC will have gained a weapon that is capable of killing common demons. This world will be mostly bland, a high fantasy with big magic and spectacles, with the new magic, killing immortal demons is possible, still complex and requires a good mano a mano battle. To kill a level 4, he would need something more powerful, but what he has will work for now. Make it span across the entire world with multiple encounters and the Level 3 demon doing its best to leave the world as it finally begins to fear death for the first time in a long time. MC spends some time getting familiar with the world and learns a key magic related to souls that helps him understand what he needs to do in order to kill a level 3 demon. Massive battle between the demon and the MC. Fully corrupted world that looks like a normal one, so both the MC and the invading demon are confused. Make it so that some higher leveled demon (a level 5) did something funky to this world. The demon (level 4) and the Mc meet extremely early on and are just straight up confused as they explore the world. The demon is made aware of the MC's goals, but doesn't really care after finding out the Mc has no way to currently kill a level 4. Wouldn't mind even if he did in the end really, the level 4 demon is just incredibly passive and just goes with whatever. After a while of exploring an empty and dead world, they just leave. Fully magi-tech. Not a single thing functions without magic, and guess what corrupting this world does. Those sections are magic deficient as well as the areas surrounding it having too much throwing everything out of whack. This makes it fairly difficult for the natives of the world to deal with it just due to the fact that they are powerless without their magic, weaker than even a normal teenager on earth. After a easy comparatively fight, the MC clears the rest of the corruption It looks fairly similar to earth, but everything is running on mana instead of normal electricity. Mana deficiencies inside the corruption and overloads outside of them. Demon gets too cocky after encountering the MC and is not yet aware that the MC has the ability to kill demons. MC spends some time learning about how this world deals with magic and their tech surrounding it. MC finally gains enough power and becomes a level 3 demon, truly becoming immortal. No one else other than him and the floor 40 demon know how to kill demons, so he really is invincible, but that wont stop him from being tortured. This one will be his grand return to earth in an attempt to save it. Level 4 demon encounter. Learn a bit about what happens to people that manage to survive in corruption zones long enough. (usually get recruited by other demons, or some funky shit where they mutate into something near demon like [look at the librarians from book 1]) An underwater world, but there aren't even any domes. MC finds the other demon suffering because while they may be immortal (not for long with the MC around), they don't know how to breathe underwater. Fish people, humans and maybe other various aquatic monsters just for fun. Creepy cult-like planet that actively attacks the MC for trying to help them Modern-ish civilization with corruption running from top to bottom. After a while, MC just gives up and leaves. MC does his best but is completely unable to do anything against the demon with the help of the entire world on its side and not his. Demon abuses this and quickly becomes a high leader spreading corruption and being paraded by the general populace. There is a tiny faction of people trying to help the MC, but they are very quickly found and slaughtered due to their own hubris. A planet where the demon is actively bettering society. Magic, crafting, and all that good betterment stuff. MC doesn't really care and says that every demon is going to die one day, by his hand or another's, but they will. Demon requests to at least be left alone for a while so that they can do their best for the world. Set them up as best they can. MC does agree, only on the condition that this demon helps the MC develop a better weapon capable of killing level 4's MC tells the demon the predicament and the demon tells the MC that he really isn't doing anything. A weird planet where physics seems to make very little sense, and the corruption somehow stabilizes it, but the inhabitants of the world die when entering the stabilized space. The Demon is confused, the MC is confused, both still play their parts. MC becomes level 4 after this one. MC ends up in a world that is filled with demons ranging from level 1 to 4 and just does his best slaughtering them all. The key point of this one is to show that the MC is missing something mentally. He feels no remorse for his actions despite some demons having done nothing at all, and that even is in fact the large majority of them. A world consisting of not a single spoken word. Everything is conveyed entirely through text or hand gestures and attempts to disobey the law of the land are highly punished. The society itself is heavily based on a points based system with how high or low essentially dictating how horrible or well off your life will be, and almost every action determining the addition and subtraction of points [Yuki] The people themselves are very hateful to outsiders and people who prefer to speak aloud. The demon can spread corruption freely, but the MC has to go through hoop after hoop to get anything done. The public hates the Mc even knowing that they have saved them, they just hate outsiders that much saying that they could have solved the situation just as well by themselves. MC starts very low off in society, making it very hard to do the things he needs to like protecting the people. The Demon had already worked their way into this society and was actually responsible for a lot of the systems of oppression here. MC manages to eventually pinpoint and kill the demon after they let things slip that they shouldn't know about. The world of the fox-demon. MC spends some time exploring the almost nostalgic scenery of the odd animals. Big funny fight scene where MC learns MUCH better control of his demon abilities. Very few of them were actually fun, but looking back on it the MC remembers them fondly. Mention a lot of the old fun times the MC had in book one. Cyber-tech world where most of the world has implants and things that make it feel like fantasy, but is really just super advanced tech. Has to clear some corruption with the AI watching him. MC manages to almost kill the level 5 while they had no idea what to do to him. The demon leaves and the MC saves the world with help from the super AI. Weird political system run by a super advanced AI that immediately knows that the MC is a demon as it has met demons in the past, but the MC manages to convince it that he is there to help. MC has to fight against a Level 5 demon here, he doesn't win, but manages to back the Level 5 up to a point where it has to leave. Ultra magical fantasy world. Balls to the wall fantasy races, dragons, all that fun shit. Forest things, MC has to stop the corruption here and kill a demon involved with the elves that has managed to disguise themselves within their higher ups. It takes the MC a long time to gain their trust. Crafting the ultimate demon killing weapon. One capable of killing a level 5 demon. One made with the collective knowledge of thousands of dwarves over many years and the MC's knowledge of a vast array of topics. MC has to deal with a king who wants to kill the MC for helping the other races thinking that the MC was going to start a war using the other two factions. MC kills the king in the end, finding out that they were actually a demon that had worked their way up over a very, very long time. To keep their seat, the 'king' would fake his death and place himself as the next in line for the throne. The dragons ally with the MC at first, but a demon who has taken control of one of the more powerful dragons starts to cause problems for the MC. The dragons attack the MC and the rest of the world, helping the demon spread corruption. MC does somehow manage to stop them, but is unable to kill them just yet, as the weapon he crafted isn't yet capable of killing a level 5 demon. Most likely due to his own lacking power. I think some of the dragons should be comparable to level 3 demons just to spice things up. Elf plot Dwarf plot Human plot Dragon plot MC fucks up saving this world, and it collapses. Insert interesting magical supernova. A world in the midst of a nuclear war. MC manages to survive here and unite the world against the demon Level 4 demons are somewhat immune to anything natural, being a nuclear explosion or the implosion of a star. MC kills the other demon anyways, much to the dislike of one of the Level 5's watching from a distance. MC and the demon are both level 4's making the nuclear fallout ineffective at stopping them. This world falls to its own devices after a while without the MC and the demon ever really doing anything. Boss Rush Part 1 Multi world space opera where 7 separate Level 5 demons reside. Truly the rushiest of bosses. MC becomes a level 5 demon at the end of this one Has to go back to world 21 to kill the other demon and they accept their fate. Boss Rush Part 2 Falling into a black hole does not kill a level 5, but it does kill a level 4, and the MC knows this, throwing a few in every now and then. World that stably orbits a black hole. 2 Level 5 demons here, but they are incomprehensibly powerful. Floor 40 demon doesn't even put up a fight, but is happy. Ophelia is the final demon that the MC kills; under her request. Epilogue: 2 ends yet again. MC kills everyone, then himself; or he keeps himself alive as a godlike being. (the second one starts another cycle, but the first ends them forever)
Characters:
Logan Rivers: Same character, nothing new as of yet.
Ophelia: level 4 demon. Was forced to travel back in time and save the MC and give him even the smallest amount of hope.
Floor 40 True Demon: The true demon that even until the end, the MC knows very little about, but learns that they were once someone very prominent within the sphere of demons.
This demon is technically the main character if he chooses the bad end. This is the main character after he has forgotten who he really is, and only has notes. Has only traveled through time once to perpetuate the cycle. Killing himself twice, ends this cycle.
Fox-demon re-encounter: Remembers the MC and hates him.
Thanks to everyone that enjoyed the story. This is the last post that will be made on this one so as to preserve what is left of the story.
The next novel should drop in roughly two-ish months depending on how much free time I get within the next month. Keep and eye out for "Advent of the Second Moon"
Until then, Have a good day/night!
