Demon King's Castle slogan: [So unhinged, so divine, come to the Demon King's Castle this weekend!]
You're a recently graduated corporate drone.
Now you're faced with one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
Bad news: You got hit by a car.
Good news: You didn't die. You transmigrated into the Demon King.
But soon you realize that both pieces of news are bad.
This world has seven great factions, and the Demon King's Castle is just one of them.
And the previous Demon King had a bunch of employees who were completely nuts.
Just how nuts?
The moment you open your eyes, you see them declaring war on the other six factions!
I don't want to be Empress Dowager Cixi! Aaaaah!
But, thankfully, you have one minister who seems relatively normal.
He's got excellent work skills, communication skills, and stress tolerance. He's a top-tier workhorse!
You take his hand and speak from the heart: Let's build a brand-new Demon King's Castle together!
He doesn't refuse.
You're moved, and dump all your work on him.
Sometimes he gives you a strange look, like he wants to kill you.
But that's normal.
What workhorse doesn't want to kill their boss?
You even find yourself looking forward to it.
There are plenty of lunatics in this other world, and the Demon King's Castle is full of the worst of them. You don't really want to die, but you don't really want to live either.
Then one day, the minister resigns.
That's normal.
A dysfunctional company, a hands-off boss, and insane coworkers.
The only workhorse is barely keeping the place running.
Who wouldn't want to quit?
You look at the remaining lunatics and feel your vision go black.
With nothing left to lose, you kill them and fall into a deep slumber.
**
You are awakened from your slumber by a party of heroes.
That's normal.
After all, a hero's ultimate goal is to kill the Demon King and save the world.
But this hero has exactly the same face as your former minister.
That's normal too.
A former employee joins a rival company and turns around to kill the old boss who exploited him.
It's the perfect revenge fantasy!
But here's what's not normal:
He drops to one knee, reaches out to you, and says, "Saintess, the time has come. I'll take you back to the Church."
You stare at him in confusion. "What's going on? I'm the Demon King, aren't I?"
The hero firmly shakes his head. "No. You are God's bloodline, left behind on earth, and Jesus's half-sister."
It takes you a while to process that.
Then you ask him in a quiet voice, "So, do you know about Hong Xiuquan?"
[Reader's Guide]
1. A silly, unhinged comedy with lots of crazy characters and a lethal dose of terrible jokes.
2. A useless mess who can't get their act together x a long-suffering scapegoat. Both are virgins.
3. My own take on Western fantasy, with a bit of everything, and maybe, possibly, a slight Japanese influence.
4. All the setting elements are original, and the story contains nothing offensive to religion.
Theme: Even a good-for-nothing can dream of turning their life around
