Meiya dies unexpectedly and arrives in an unfamiliar world.
She stares blankly at her reflection in the mirror and touches the demon horns on her head.
“Red eyes and horns. Cosplay?”
The next second, a System screen pops up right in front of her face.
[Host identity: Demon Lord of Tokavina.]
[System mission: Recruit talent and manage the territory!]
From the start, Meiya is saddled with the identity of a decadent, extravagant, idle, and incompetent lord. Her underlings have run off, the territory's economy is backward, and the granary is nearly empty. Worst of all, her initial lifespan is only 15 days!!!
Ways to increase her lifespan:
1. Recruit talent certified by the System.
2. Complete business milestones.
Meiya becomes an encouraging talent scout and sets out to develop her territory.
Then she discovers that the System won't recognize anyone who isn't at least a little “problematic.”
So she hires a bunch of “interesting” employees.
Tokavina rises rapidly. Golden wheat spreads across the fields, and the fragrant, spicy specialties of the food street waft for miles. Transport routes connect in every direction, talent apartments and commercial districts spring up, and the streets glow with lively lights at night. Haunted houses and immersive murder-mystery games become must-do attractions...
Her employees shine in their respective fields, while Meiya holds her head high among the other lords and face-slaps those who mock her.
And when her employees talk about their lord, the praise never ends.
The agoraphobic elven master of agriculture once snapped, “Anyone who puts down the lord has something wrong with their eyes and their character!”
The burly chef who pursues culinary perfection gazes at her with shining eyes. “Only the lord understands the true meaning of food as well as I do!”
The talkative skeleton wishes he could chat all night. “I can't find another companion who loves telling ghost stories!”
N+ employees: “...”
