The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Backstory (Elliot's PoV)
I’m pissed.I got scolded by my father again. The third time that it’s happened this month. And it’s not even my fault! It’s the fault of those useless players that he paired with me. That’s the only reason I’d lose to the likes of Merlin. If only they can block all of his spells, then I’d be able to hit him from a safe distance using my own sorcery.That’s right! I use magic as well. But not the same as this mediocre person who claims to be the strongest. He’s not even anywhere near how powerful I am! He knows it as well – that he can never reach the same level as me.I know that because he told me once to quit imbuing magic into my archery. He told me that it’s a waste because my skill combination is stupid. As well as the pairing of my first and secondary job class. I beat him up because of it of course. I put him in the training room and gave him a dose of kobold blood. Enough to leave him gasping for breath. Enough to make him put his hand on his chest, gripping on to it so hard
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Merlin and Elliot
Merlin walked along the corridors of his dungeon. It’s beginning to take the shape he wants it to. More refined and better suited to live in. His footsteps echoed along the empty road and, this silence only grew with the thoughts that are running through his head. Revolving around his former guildmate whom he’s about to meet.“Elliot huh.”Unlike the other members, Elliot is a lesser evil. Though this man did beat him up and torture him like the rest, this is done less. This is probably due to the same live broadcast which he did before. Where he lost in a duel against Merlin in less than one second. This placed his reputation in the guild so low that he’s even remarked as lower than the useless Gerald.If given the same amount of power and status as Arthur, Merlin knows that Elliot will do the same despicable things to him. Probably even worse. That’s why he’s not going to show any mercy to this human – one who’s just behind the door that he’s standing in front of.Without wasting an
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Taking Things Slow
After an hour of interrogation, Merlin proceeded to torturing Elliot. While he did say that he would set the human free, there isn’t any mention of letting this happen before any form of torture. And Merlin enjoyed this very much. Feeding Elliot with as many nightmares as he wanted until the human finally broke down and fainted. It’s only at this point that Merlin finally set him free.Hence the event is over and now, Merlin has to face Sylvie whose brows are furrowed as she looked at him. Arms crossed as the dark elf waited for him to get nearer.“Did I do something wrong?” Merlin asked.“You should be able to answer that all on your own.” Sylvie replied. “Why did you let him escape?”Merlin didn’t explain this to Sylvie and Teach before he left the room. Of course he’s planning on telling it to them. But he just wanted to deal with Elliot first before doing so. And now that it’s over, the demon sat on the wooden stool beside Sylvie’s bed. Fully prepared to begin.“The main reason is
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Unable to Fight
[Dungeon Upgrade in Progress.][Estimated Time Remaining: 1 Day]…Things didn’t go the way Junrio wanted them to. In fact, everything went downhill for him quite quickly. Even before the groups are deployed from every kingdom, Elliot is able to come back home. That’s’ right. The prince returned to the kingdom of Helios and information about it is currently being relayed to Junrio.“He’s what?” The lord of Genesis City asked.He’s in the middle of sorting papers concerning the death of the adventurers. Since a grand total of two-hundred and one died inside the dungeon, they all need to be properly buried. There are also the wills and testaments of these adventurers, things which have to be properly taken care of.Although Junrio wants to extract revenge, he does not want it to be in exchange of the detriment of the city. Asther gave him this role – trusting in his capabilities. And Junrio doesn’t want to betray this trust. Though he did stop working as soon as his trusted aid spoke.“
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Helios Kingdom's Festivity
Elliot is received like a hero in his own kingdom. There is a great banquet that’s prepared for him and festivities are also prepared. The main form of amusement being the fights in the coliseum of the kingdom. Where some of the strongest gladiators of Helios are gathered together to test their mettle against one another.Blood painted the ground and the roar of the victors excited the crowd that cheered from the top of their lungs. The earth shook from the clamor brought by every hard-earned victory, twice if it’s the underdog that wins. Meanwhile Elliot sits comfortably at the viewing deck with the king and the queen who are his parents. Both of which come from a long line of powerful individuals.After what Elliot has gone through, he loves this comfortable change in lifestyle. The prince laid down on the chair comfortably as he held the waist of two ladies who are given to him for the occasion. Both of which are voluptuous and fine looking as well. Not suited for combat but very w
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Main Quest
[Three Part Main Quest: Ruler of the Forest][First Requirement: Meet with the monster that rules over the forest outside your dungeon.][Second Requirement: Perform the labors requested by the forest elder.][Third Requirement: Claim the title of Forest Elder.][Quest Reward: Unbridled Dungeon][Quest Reward: One with the Forest]These are the quests that Merlin needs to complete. All three of them displayed in front of him as soon as he finished dealing with the pirates that entered his dungeon. The first part is easy enough to do. But things start getting problematic with the second part of the quest until the third.Thankfully, he has an ally whom he can rely on when it comes to matters of the forest. None other than the gifted dark elf that is Sylvie Windsith.“Remind me again why we’re having a stroll in the forest?” The dark elf asked.“We’re looking for the forest elder.” Merlin quickly replied. “Yes well, you see, it just sounds weirder now that you’ve repeated it.”Merlin k
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Ancient Spells
When Sylvie arrived at where Merlin is, she found him covered in dark mana. Creating an aura that spread closely around the demon’s body. A bit loose but it shows more of the control that the demon is capable of. Because the dark elf knows of nobody else who is low leveled that is, at the same time, capable of what Merlin is doing. Unfortunately, she has to stop him from what he’s doing and, this she did by clapping her hands once.Merlin’s aura slowly faded. The eyes of the demon glowed in the neon green color that it has whenever he’s in his [Demon’s Rage] state. But even this slowly faded away as well. Reverting Merlin’s eyes back to their normal color – the same time that the aura disappeared completely.“What’s that about?” Sylvie asked.“Trying to get better at focusing my mana.”“By turning it into an aura?” Sylvie added in a form of question.“Part of it.” Merlin said. “If I can place my mana evenly across my body, I’d be able to go to the next level of my training.”“You know
The Strongest Player is a Demon Lord Monkeys
There was a child.I could’ve sworn I heard a child saying something to me. I can’t understand it though. The words mixed into a mush that I can’t unbridle. And even this brief moment of clarity is quickly robbed from me as my mind sunk into the void. Unable to surface again.………Merlin moved along the lake inside the forest. The water is as clear as it was in the game or maybe even clearer than that. There’s a certain clarity to it that makes some parts shimmer when touched by sunshine. Merlin likes this because, in the game, water like this is potable. It’s clean. If there is anything that goes in and dirties it, as long as it isn’t to a large extent, the new water will wash away the impurities.He followed this for a while. About fifteen minutes to be exact. Until he reached a spot where there aren’t as many trees surrounding him. The perfect spot for him to fight his enemies.“You can come out now.” Merlin said.He’s felt the presence of these creatures before he went deep into

Finale
Three months has passed since Merlin waged war against the entirety of the human continent. Within this time, a lot of things have already happened. Though the first month is spent in relative silence, without much fighting and bloodbath, the same cannot be said for the months that followed after this.Though the first month could be called as calm and tame, what happened shortly after this is far from this description. There is no calm anymore. It is replaced, entirely, by a storm. One brought about by the demon lord Merlin Warlock and all of the vengeful spirit he has against the human race that has done noting but earn his utmost spite and resentment.Under the leadership of the demon lord, the forces of evil has advanced rapidly in the middle of the second month. What would’ve seemed as nothing more than a small wound proved to be a festering plague soon enough.This is all due to the tactical planning and advances made by Merlin. He didn’t target locations to occupy out of a whim

A Different Task
Every general that Merlin commands participated in a form of combat. This means that even Teach himself went to fight a couple of monsters along the way. The only difference between him and the others is that, Teach didn’t encounter any of the generals from the five continents. Call it luck if you will but he doesn’t actually take pride in this. Far from it, Teach is a bit disappointed that he doesn’t get to have the same kind of action that the others are getting.Gerant went and fought against a great general of the north who makes use of a cursed sword. The battle is a crucial part of the plan for the demon lord’s army to succeed because, with the victory of the blood ogre also comes the safety of the entirety of the demon lord’s territory from a sneak attack from the back.Then there’s the battle that Sylvie the dark elf experienced. One where she came face to face against another great general. The only tactical mind within the kingdom of Helios. If left unchecked, this person wo

A Swift Victory
Just like Sylvie and Gerant, Samira also encountered a general in the battlefield. A very powerful one at that because, this human is also the right-hand man of King Wolfhound. The greatest soldier that’s only second to the king himself. None other than Augustus.The general has already taken down a city and two villages that the monsters of the demon lord has occupied. As such, he’s making the most progress out of anyone. Clearing out the problems in such a rate that, if left alone, he would entirely wipe out all of the problems that the kingdom has.That’s why he has to be dealt with and, that’s why Samira came to pay him a visit. Not during the day when she’s weak of course but, rather, during the hours of the night. Making full use of the powers granted to her by moonlight. A privilege only she enjoys.With this, her powers are greatly boosted. Maybe too much to be exact because, right now, even the great general isn’t posing as a threat to her at all. “You’re a lot weaker than I

A Bad Matchup II
Thundering crashes continued within Raider city. Earthquakes of some sort that made some of the soldiers and even some of the monsters stop from fighting. Nobody could disregard it or pretend that it does not exist because of how easy it is to lose balance due to the force of every tremor that’s made and, the exceeding loudness that are emitted by these same forceful and powerful vibrations.Unlike the monsters and the humans however, the skeletons continued to move. The third faction that entered into the fray through seeming portals that made them come out in large quantities. Mixed with powerful monsters that tear upon the soldiers of Helios.The relentless attack of the skeletons, although not lethal at all, is enough to take the attention of the humans. Though this doesn’t make their fighting any less difficult. With the addition of these creatures, the monsters that invaded the city have finally begun to be able to fight back. A thing that’s not even supposed to happen and, woul

A Bad Matchup
The dark elf stood on top of the roof of a building standing just in front of General Justus. Completely alone and unguarded. This might seem like a poor choice on the part of the dark elf but, Justus can feel that the creature is strong enough to leave itself this way.Though this did not stop him from giving an order to nearby archers he placed around the vicinity as well. Doing so with a simple command spell that he placed on himself and the said units. Granting them a target mark which tells them who it is that they need to shoot and, for them to get a clear shot, he needs to continue getting the attention of this new opponent.The archers are all, of course, trained by him in secret. This is something he requested from King Wolfhound himself. Meaning, these are all exceptional soldiers. That’s why the general knows that they’d be able to handle their target without much trouble at all.“My lord told me that there’d be monsters here but, I didn’t expect that there’s be humans as w

The Day of Attack
The air around raider city is filled with the vile stench of rotting flesh. There is a silence brought about, not by peace and rest, but by the fact that all humans within this city have been killed. Murdered and eaten by the monsters that now occupy it as well. Making it their abode as the war between the newest demon lord is waged against the five kingdoms.In the dead silence of early morn, not even birds have begun to chirp yet. Darkness fills the entirety of the world like a mantle, hiding everything from plain sight. Creating a camouflage for everyone who wants to make it their own – the very same thing that Justus’ soldiers did.They made use of the darkness to continue their advance towards the city. Just as he ordered, he left the nearby village before the first streaks of dawn could be seen. Each and every soldier is already prepared when he called for them; their punctuality being one of the few things that he likes when it comes to his own kingdom.“I don’t want any excess

General Justus
Khanza is not the only reliable general that’s been deployed for the war. As a matter of fact, every reliable general of every kingdom has been brought out for this war and, one of them is the great tactician – Justus.It is said that, when it comes to creating effective strategies in the battlefield, there is nobody that could match his level. A spectacled adolescent that is looked upon by many as a figure that’s been born in the wrong place. After all, he is a member of the kingdom of Helios.Any praise that may go into his great tactics is non-existent within this kingdom. Other than the craft of forging and, the physical prowess of a person, nothing else matters. Yet that is also the reason why this same general is all the more interesting.He isn’t just all wits. No. General Justus is a strong gladiator as well. Knowing that nobody would ever recognize him if he doesn’t show his might in the battlefield, he continued honing his body. Making it a lethal weapon that can play out al

Blood and Poison
Gerant’s attack sent his opponent flying in the air. With this comes a powerful explosion that ate away at the flesh of Khanza. No amount of defensive capability helped the demonified general as, Gerant watched his opponent get eaten away by newly furnished spell.This is an attack that Gerant has only perfected recently and, is able to do so because of the help of his lord and savior, Merin Warlock. A demon lord that showed him a path that he himself could not have seen all on his own.In the original game, Gerant’s power is so frightening that it’s said that he can destroy the barrier of Genesis City itself. And the spell he can unleash which gave him such a reputation is the same one that he’s using right now.[Skill Name: Malevolence][Skill Type: Channeling Burst][Grade: S][Mana Cost: 100,000][Information: The initial part of the spell creates a domain around the entirety of the battlefield. Casting this takes away 20% of the stats of the caster, as well as the same amount of

Conclusion
Khanza’s form changed completely. His grayish hair has turned into pitch black. His eyes are filled with nothing but the void. The rest of his body is consumed in flesh, seemingly made from the cursed sword which has its core in the middle of the general’s chest. There is also a tail at his back – a thick one that might be usable for both offense and defense.It’s a demon. There’s not a shadow of a doubt that it’s a demon that Gerant is facing right now. One which has bloodlust outpouring from it as well. Directed towards nobody else but the blood ogre as a deafening screech escaped from the jaws of the beast he has to face.“To think that a general of the north can use Demonification. That’s definitely something I didn’t expect to encounter in this lifetime.” Gerant sarcastically said.“You will pay for your sins with your life!”The monster howled at him with such strength that the blood ogre’s ears almost bled. The sound even touching the parts of his exposed skin violently, as if
