Qiao Shu closed his eyes, opened them, and found himself in another world.
Barefoot, he stood in the center of a gloomy altar, surrounded by a circle of kneeling demons with bizarre appearances.
Qiao Shu and the demons stared blankly at one another.
Before he could even panic, the chief demon suddenly leaped up and raised his arms, shouting, "The Demon King has awakened!"
The little underlings cheered along. "Ooooh!"
Qiao Shu: ? Did I transmigrate into the Demon King?
Qiao Shu quickly accepted this fact. He thrived in the demons' capital, gathered a host of underlings, and resolved to make the Demon City bigger and stronger and leave his mark on demon history.
The demon underlings all swore they would follow him to the death.

Humans and demons had been at war for a thousand years. When they heard that the demons had awakened their sleeping Demon King, the humans refused to be outdone.
The Pope immediately ordered an altar prepared to summon the legendary Saint from another world.
Once everything was ready, the bishop raised his head and cried, "Please descend to the mortal realm, Saint!"
In a flash of white light, the Demon King Herisis was forcibly summoned. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw a group of red-robed cardinals and holy knights staring motionlessly at him.
The Demon King woke with a start. Who had thrown him into the enemy's lair?
A red-robed cardinal stepped forward, and the Demon King was about to attack. But the other man dropped to his knees and kissed the back of his outstretched hand, his eyes full of reverence. "Saint!"
The Great Demon King: ?
The cardinal wept as he spoke. "The demons are utterly vile. They've awakened the Demon King! You must lead humanity to defeat them!"
The Great Demon King: ...What is this nonsense?
One day, Herisis secretly sneaked into the Demon City and saw his former subordinates gathered in the central square.
An impostor sat on his throne and shouted, "What's our slogan?"
A crowd of great demons roared with fervor, "Long live the Demon King!"
Herisis: ???
He woke up from a nap and someone had stolen his home.
[Reader's Notes]
* My take on Western fantasy. There are humans, demons, elves, beastfolk, and other races. Some gods' names are inspired by real ones, but the world is fictional. The story comes first, so please don't nitpick~
* The story is half plot, half romance. The gong is the sleeping Demon King. He won't appear until a little later, but he will appear.
* My author page has other completed stories and free bonus chapters. Come enjoy~
* Many original world-building details. Paragraph comments are open. Happy reading owo
* New chapter daily, around midnight.

Blurb:
Qi Le returned to reality from an infinite world, hoping to grow flowers, walk his dog, and live an ordinary life.
Unfortunately, otherworldly monsters invaded and ate the flowers he'd grown. In a fit of rage, he was about to tear one apart with his bare hands.
But his neighbor beat him to it, then comforted him: "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Qi Le took the opening and played along. "Mm-hmm. Thanks, bro."
With otherworldly creatures wreaking havoc, the authorities urgently established a research group and a team of superpowered agents. But they knew too little about the creatures, and the death rate remained high.
A survivor from the infinite world joined the team and told the captain, "The strongest big shot has returned to reality too. Those creatures are nothing but a meal to him. He once protected countless people. He's a great savior, our only hope."
To save the world, the authorities posted a request for cooperation on the superpower forum.
Many survivors showed up, excitedly gossiping about the big shot and praising him for thousands of posts.
The big shot became an overnight sensation on the forum, but no one could find him.
Until one day, an S-rank otherworldly creature appeared in the city square, putting countless lives in danger.
"Should we run too?" Qi Le's friend clutched him, trembling.
Qi Le sighed, pulled off his jacket, and headed against the fleeing crowd. With a quick motion, he drew a gleaming long blade from his spine.
"Me?"
"I hate being a savior the most."
The superpowered team captain hurried to the scene. The monster was gone, and all he saw was his well-behaved, gentle neighbor, calmly wiping blood from his blade.
They stared at each other.
Qi Le: "Bro."
Nie Huan: "...Where's the creature?"
Qi Le pointed at the pool of blood on the ground.
"Dead," Qi Le said. "Sorry I hid it from you. I'm the strongest big shot you've been looking for."
**
Nie Huan had a neighbor named Qi Le.
He was timid and would get teary-eyed if he saw an otherworldly creature eat his flowers.
He was quick-witted, able to point out a creature's weakness with precision, yet modestly claimed it was luck.
Qi Le was innocent and kind, always relying on Nie Huan and keeping close to him.
Nie Huan's idealized image of Qi Le was complete. He swore to protect him forever, until he saw Qi Le cut down one creature after another as easily as chopping vegetables.
A team member hesitated. "Captain, this is the timid, delicate little brother you mentioned?"
Nie Huan nodded, turning a blind eye. "That's right."
The others: ???
