Everyone’s a Hero, but I’m the Second-Generation Demon

Asher Crowley, heir to the Nine Hells, was tossed by his old man through a portal to another world, supposedly to gain some life experience. Three chosen heroes were summoned alongside him: Hero No. 1, wielding a holy sword and shining with golden light, is the temple's finest knight. Hero No. 2, surrounded by the elements and wielding tremendous magic, is the mage tower's unparalleled genius. Hero No. 3, followed by shadows and radiating bloodlust, is the assassin alliance's brightest rising star. And Asher... He wore an ugly-cute, hand-knitted red-and-green Christmas sweater and held a steaming insulated mug. Standing in the middle of the temple without a trace of magic, he looked like a husky that had wandered into a wolf pack. In this band of heroes with S-rank stats across the board, Asher was the sole good-for-nothing, there to make up the numbers. Then the demon tide erupted, and an abyssal dragon came right at them. The three great heroes were driven back again and again. Just when all hope seemed lost, the mascot who'd been slacking at the rear yawned, casually pulled out a pocket watch, and checked the time. “Tch. If I don't finish this soon, I'll miss the curfew the old man set.” The gates of Hell burst open the next second. A pit fiend lit his cigarette, a fallen angel held his shoes, and indescribable tentacles formed a throne behind him. That day, the entire continent learned what it meant to have a powerful dad. Later, the looks those once-arrogant bigwigs gave Asher grew increasingly strange: The lofty emperor of the empire, who had once considered him a burden, now offered him the authority of the entire empire if only he would stay. The holy knight who had sworn to eradicate evil now forsook his creed, turned his sword on the church, and willingly fell into darkness for him. The brutal, bloodthirsty Abyssal Demon Lord had originally wanted to crush the little ant, but after seeing the terrifying projection behind him, he dropped to his knees and begged to be his mount. In the void, the Lord of Hell, stern old dad Asmodeus, spoke with bone-chilling kindness: “Anyone who tries to steal my little cabbage will have his legs broken and his soul taken.” As for this, Asher, a fun-loving soul, said: Sure, I smoke, drink, perm my hair, and sell my soul to demons, but I know I'm a good hero (not really). [Bonus scene] Facing the love triangle, Asher sighed and complained to the void, “Dad, I want to return them. The heroes and Demon Lords in this batch are all crazy.” The air instantly froze. A phantom hand wearing a ruby ring appeared out of nowhere and slapped a Demon Lord who'd tried to confess into the ground. The pocket watch flashed a message: [Interference removed. Good boy, remember to wear your long underwear.] All his suitors (trembling): ...There's no beating this father-in-law. Absolutely no chance. [Reader's guide] 1. The protagonist is a warlock, a chaotic neutral fun-lover, and an incomparably handsome man in a red-and-green sweater. He's a good-for-nothing, yet absurdly powerful. 2. Everyone's feelings are one-sided. There is an official love interest (maybe?). 3. The sect master is an indulgent but strict father. He's mostly in the background, but his presence is impossible to ignore. [Love interest guide] No. 1: [The pure-hearted, loyal knight who falls for him on his own] Arthur Brackett Contestant's statement: “My holy sword would break for you, and you would reshape my faith.” No. 2: [The arrogant rising sun who plans everything] Emperor Aurelius Contestant's statement: “The entire empire is my bargaining chip. If that's not enough, I can bring down even those bothersome gods in the heavens for you.” No. 3: [The Abyssal mad dog who drops to his knees fastest] Demon Lord Contestant's statement: “Tremble, ant! Wait a moment... Why are you here?!” No. 4: [The forgotten one who waits alone at the end of time] ??? Contestant's statement: “I have waited a thousand years at the end of time, just to witness the moment you are crowned again.” Wildcard: [The silent observer who has seen through the cycle of reincarnation] Death, the silent keeper of secrets, Saliel Contestant's statement: “Life and death are the world's only fairness.

Moral: Even in adversity, keep an optimistic attitude (and dance in Hell).
