The seal was accidentally undone, and the protective barrier capable of resisting forbidden spells was blasted to pieces. The awakened Demon King, Lain, looked up. Humans were hovering in the sky on boards, holding strange tubes and firing fireballs from them with a series of whooshes. Magic bullets, cast without incantations, swept across the area, turning the church into ruins. Lain: …Has magic evolved this much? Then things got even worse. The Demon King accidentally cut his finger as he stood up and stared at the crimson drop of blood on his fingertip. Where was his armor of scales? He felt the top of his head. His horns were gone. He felt behind his waist. His tail was gone. His exposed wrists were slender, and his skin was dazzlingly pale. What was with this fragile human body? Worst of all, The humans who came to “rescue” him claimed they were from the Hero’s Party. The same party that, a thousand years ago, had made defeating the Demon King its highest priority. Why were they still around if the Demon King wasn’t? Later, Lain learned that the gods had disappeared and the land had withered. Climbing towers was the only way to obtain core resources. The Hero’s Party’s main mission was no longer to defeat the Demon King. And he, the Demon King who should have been defeated, was somehow invited to join, becoming the one everyone in the Demon King-hunting party kept a tacit eye on and protected. A story where everyone dotes on the protagonist. They win them over one at a time, mostly by accident, rather than showering them with affection right away. He seeks the power of the Demon King and sets out to conquer the world anew. Main pairing: Nuo Si x Lain Note: In the past timeline, there’s no universally adored character with a public rivalry. They really did fight to the death. Next novel (I might slot another one in first, or start this one depending on which gets more saves): Capturing a Secret Crush For Ye Bai, the biggest obstacle in life has always been Chi Yun. From childhood onward, Ye Bai’s every effort paled beside Chi Yun’s brilliance as a genius, leaving him forever in second place. As kids, they competed over grades; as adults, over achievements. From talent to luck, skill to social graces. Ye Bai had to admit it: Chi Yun was nearly perfect. Everyone around them had compared them ever since they were little, and Ye Bai had unconsciously made Chi Yun his goal. Though, in Chi Yun’s eyes, Ye Bai was probably no more than a random nobody. That was what Ye Bai thought, right up until the car accident. After the accident, Ye Bai opened his eyes to find himself looking at the person he had always been compared with. Chi Yun’s house was neat and tidy. Stacks of exercise books and old volumes were piled in the corner. Ye Bai began to see Chi Yun differently. “So even geniuses have to work hard!” Boxes of clearly labeled competition materials were stacked under the bed. Ye Bai: “So Chi Yun isn’t all-knowing after all. He has to prepare in advance.” Stacks of draft paper sat on the desk. Ye Bai: “He’s so diligent! I shouldn’t be snooping through someone’s private things… Hmm?” Why were the sheets covered in his name? Why was the open drawer full of photos of him? And why was the exercise book he’d lost in high school wrapped in a book cover and treasured on the shelf? Ye Bai: “…” For a second, he even thought Chi Yun was a fan of his. At that moment, his “fan” was lying in bed, calling his name in his sleep. P.S. The exercise book wasn’t stolen. ==Scene== Chi Yun, a rising star in show business, vanished from the industry after starring in just one movie. Then one day, people suddenly saw that he had started a livestream on Weibo. The young man on screen was handsome and fresh-faced. Put him in a white shirt and give him a book, and he’d fit right in with words like “youthful” and “sweet high school days.” If not for the furry ears and tail. Viewers: “This… is definitely Chi Yun’s account, right?” The next second, the young man faced the camera seriously and took out a test paper. “Don’t mind the special effects. Today we’re going over an intensive training math problem. You have twenty minutes to solve it. Hm?” The young man looked up and suddenly realized something. The camera was hastily flipped face-down on the desk. The viewers’ screens went black. A little while later, after some noises, they heard the familiar voice they had been waiting for. Chi Yun: “Do you want a kiss today too?” Theme: Communication is an important part of peace
