The Demon King Ran Away and Became Everyone's Favorite

[My first book. It's an embarrassing old work, so read at your own risk. I started it on a whim, but found it hard to continue. I left the final chapter or two unfinished, and added a simple ending in the author's note for the last chapter. Read at your own risk. Read at your own risk. Thank you for your support, and I'm truly sorry.]

[PS: The other book in my collection has the same character names and a somewhat similar premise, but the content is completely different. The names are the same because, first, I'm terrible at coming up with names, and second, I didn't give this book a proper ending, so I wanted to make up for that regret a little. Thank you.]

Xia Nair transmigrated as the Demon King. Then he suddenly heard news that the Demon King had arrived and was slaughtering and pillaging, so humanity was choosing a hero and preparing to attack the Demon King's palace.

Xia Nair, the lazy guy who'd been inexplicably blamed:

What arrival? I'm about to run away. I'll find a few nice people to keep me fed.

Later, his meal tickets hauled him all the way to the Demon King's palace. In the great hall before the palace hung a portrait...

A self-portrait of Xia Nair.

Xia Nair picked out his meal tickets and took in a little beggar to serve him. With tears in his eyes, he went around telling everyone how miserable his life was: "I was orphaned at three and sold into slavery. I barely managed to escape, I'm allergic to sunlight and faint at the sight of blood, and all I've ever dreamed of is a peaceful, stable life..."

His meal tickets felt terribly sorry for him. "You can live in any of these houses. Just tell us what you want to eat and we'll have it brought to you. Is 30,000,000 gold coins enough?"

But his good days came to an end as soon as the little beggar was chosen as the hero.

Xia Nair clung to a pillar in the Temple of Light. "I'd rather die than go fight the Demon King!"

One-on-one ending. Demon King is the bottom.

The bottom is adored by everyone, a lazy, good-for-nothing big fish.

An unrequited-love battlefield. Sweet romance. Written with my feet. Not traditional Western Fantasy.

Here's the other story, in case you're interested. I've learned from my unfinished-book mistakes and have chapters saved up. Thank you.

"Accidentally Became Everyone's Favorite [Western Fantasy]"

Xia Nair transmigrated as the Demon King, but he was still a weakling. With the succubus butler taking care of his every need, he grew ever more spoiled.

He had to be fed, had his clothes put on for him, and even woke in the middle of the night to find the butler staring at him...

To escape his control, he decided to run away from home.

The first day after leaving the Demon King's palace.

Word on the street: The Demon King has arrived!

Xia Nair, the Demon King himself: ?

The second day.

Word on the street: The Duchess's daughter is engaged to a country bumpkin!

Xia Nair, the country bumpkin himself: ...

Day N.

Word on the street: The country bumpkin eloped with an elf! The man who abandoned his lover has returned with a child! The Holy Son and the Captain of the Knights both claim to be the child's father!

Breaking news: The country bumpkin has become the hero!

At the recruitment ceremony for the famous hero's party--

The icy duchess removes her formal gown and transforms into a young duke, then grips his hand tightly. "Our wedding is tomorrow."

--The engagement is set. Don't even think of escaping. You can't escape.

The furious dragon transforms into a boy, lowers his head, and reveals his horns. "Pet me. I'm very well-behaved. Ride me however you like."

--Hidden away in the dragon's lair, the one and only treasure in a golden cage.

The haughty elf presses a golden rose, cultivated for a thousand years, into his hands. Vines curl around his lower leg. "Did I really have to bring it to you? You're so spoiled."

--Possession and confinement are required lessons for elves.

The Captain of the Knights kneels and swears an oath, kissing the back of his hand. The Holy Son summons divine light for him and presses it to his cheek...

The long-silent god bestows a blessing.

The god kisses Xia Nair on the lips and gently coaxes him: "Which version of me do you like best?"

1. No childbirth, no children, and no blood relation. That child is the dragon's top, whose dragon form is huge (...and he's an adult!).

2. Obsessive, multiple-personality top x cute bottom. Mindless everyone-loves-the-bottom story. The bottom isn't strong and is rather soft!

3. Irreverent Western Fantasy, not much plot, just letting loose (><)

4. Lots and lots of chapters already written.
