In the virtual reality game The Scepter, which has taken the entire interstellar community by storm, there is an ultimate Boss whose silhouette appears only in the opening sequence.
The story hasn't progressed far enough for anyone to see the Demon King's true form. The players' favorite pastime is gearing up and discussing how to meet the Demon King, then kill him.

The Demon King, Luoxi, has terrible stats and weak skills. His looks are the only thing rated SSS+, and he has a cute, soft appearance, with round eyes and pale skin.
Not intimidating at all!
But in the story, the Demon King is the ultimate enemy of all humankind. He's supposed to fight the humans.
With his heart pounding, Luoxi stepped out of the abyss.
Why was everyone staring at him wherever he went? Boo-hoo, humans are so scary.
He wanted to grind on the monsters outside the city to level up his skills. Player A ordered all the monsters to line up in front of him and kill themselves. "How many levels did you gain? Not enough? I'll go get another batch."
He wanted to buy a healing potion in the city. Player B, the city lord, ordered every shop to give it away for free. "Tell me what you want. I'll get it for you."
All he had to do was walk down the street, and countless people would stuff flowers, food, and precious items into his hands...
Luoxi was overwhelmed by their kindness. "A-Actually, humans are pretty nice, aren't they?"

On the day of the final battle, the human faction sent out its strongest fighters.
Luoxi shut his eyes, ready to face his death. "Boo-hoo, please don't hit me too hard."
The man chuckled and pulled him into his arms.
[The leader of the human faction has joined the Demon King faction.]
[The second-ranked player has joined the Demon King faction.]
[The third-ranked player...]
[The human faction has no members remaining. The Demon King is victorious!]
Reader note: The shou is timid, sweet, and soft. The gong is hard, in every sense of the word.
Theme: I want to stand on my own two feet.
