[Bonus side story updated. Thanks for supporting the official version! Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list~]
After a long life, elves return to the embrace of the World Tree, where they enjoy happiness and peace.
For Fu Guang, however, this is nothing more than a brief rest. Whenever a world needs a hero to defeat the Demon King, he awakens once more, joins the hero's party, and becomes the indispensable, preordained supporting character.
Fu Guang: Can't you pick another elf?
World Tree: You're the best at this. I believe in you.
Fu Guang has been a great mage whose name went down in history, an unparalleled archer, and a wandering bard whose epics were sung far and wide. As a supporting character on the sidelines, he has met all kinds of heroes and witnessed all kinds of endings.
But now, he's tired.
And is this world getting more and more insane?
The neighboring academy of magic has produced three Demon Kings in a row. They say this year's hero is a scholar who can't even hurt a fly and spends all day obsessively writing papers. Even the witch has switched to physics...
Fu Guang: ...
Do I still have to work overtime in a workplace like this? Please, let me go.
So Fu Guang went to the Demon King and asked, "Can you grant me eternal death?"
The Demon King smiled faintly. "No, but I can grant you eternal life, with me by your side."
Fu Guang: ...Thank you so much.
A Demon King who loves to stir up trouble x a cold, world-weary elf
* My own take on a Western fantasy world, with a mountain of original worldbuilding and some chuunibyou-style tropes, including secret identities. Read with care if that's not your thing.

[This novel has been extensively revised and expanded, and I will continue editing it and fixing bugs. Please read the exclusive version on Jinjiang. Pirated versions are incomplete. Writing is hard, so please support the official release!]
[Upcoming] Summoned All My Followers
The gods have fallen, and the apocalypse has arrived.
Shi Qiyue is a delicate, vulnerable flower whom everyone covets. He awakens the most useless kind of summoning ability.
Summoners call forth either kittens and puppies or household appliances, none of which have any combat ability.
Everyone waits for Shi Qiyue to make a fool of himself. But the instant he draws a summoning circle, shadows surge wildly from it and gather into a towering humanoid figure.
The monster is effortlessly devoured by a sky-spanning tide of shadows.
The figure drops to one knee and kisses the back of his hand. "Master."
He summoned... a man.
*
Before long, Shi Qiyue realizes that all sorts of strange things keep appearing in his summoning circle.
A Rank S aberrant species, bent on expanding its contamination zone and creating a human catastrophe, suddenly vanishes. The whole city goes on alert.
At Shi Qiyue's dinner table, a mysterious little mushroom he has just summoned excitedly sprays spores everywhere and tries to get itself into Shi Qiyue's stomach.
Shi Qiyue: ...Thanks, but no thanks.
The strongest Rank S ability user vanishes from an impregnable ability-user base, then, in full view of everyone, wipes the blood off Shi Qiyue's shoe.
The altar in a temple worshipped by thousands stands empty. A saint with the world's greatest healing powers emerges from the summoning circle and gently heals a cut on Shi Qiyue's fingertip.
Even the legendary Book of World Rules wants to crawl out of its own summoning circle!
Shi Qiyue: ...I know I'm not normal, but are you all looking at me weirdly, too?
*
Few people know that aberrant species and humans aren't completely opposed to each other. They are all followers of the gods.
In their own ways, they are all searching for their god.
Behind the scenes, they fight over the right to be summoned, never realizing that the shadow with the keenest nose has already gotten there first!
Closest beneath the divine throne, shadows gather in darkness and curl around that snowy-white ankle.
The most faithful protector, and a vicious dog's longing to possess and devour.
*
"We welcome you back to the one and only divine throne in the highest heavens. The supreme crown belongs to you alone."

Ha
Although, Wilt has not considered Fu Guang's feelings as an immortal species at all. He still owes Fu Guang an apology for abandoning him thousands of years ago, so he came to force Fu Guang. At this point, it is obviously his fault! He only cares about his own temporary happiness and does not give the promise of long-term companionship. At present, it seems that what he means by not letting Fu Guang escape is to let Fu Guang bear the pain of being left behind. This is too selfish and deserves a beating. At least we should solve the problem of life span before we can get to this point. Otherwise, we won't be able to see that we love to show off, and we are just little people who love ourselves.
Yay the academy is back!
