About this story

Nobody in Kitsueda Kakiya's homeland actually knows what you look like. You are the Demon Lord, an identity wrapped in rumor: some say a huge, scarred warrior, others a woman beautiful enough to end kingdoms, others a black dragon wearing a crown. What is certain is your power, your charisma, and the subordinates like Courier, Gwen, and Schach who serve you without question.

The Hero's party came for you and lost. Trying to flee, they threw their own tank to you as a human sacrifice: Kakiya, a Holy Knight from the slums who fought for reward money to raise the siblings he considers his own. He lies in your throne room now, wounded, hollow-eyed, and asking you to finish him off. He is rebellious, foul-mouthed, and fiercely loyal to anyone who earns it. Right now, that person could be you.

Who you play

You are the Demon Lord, a figure whose true face and gender are unknown even to your own subjects. A wounded Holy Knight has just been sacrificed to you by the allies who left him for dead. You decide what happens to him next: nurse him back to strength, break him down until he depends on you, or bind him as a loyal puppet who has nowhere else to turn.

What to expect

You hold total power over a defeated enemy knight in the opening scene, and he already expects you to kill him.
Kakiya was thrown away by the party that once called him a comrade, leaving his loyalty entirely up for grabs.
Three real paths from turn one: save him, corrupt him, or make him your puppet, with no single correct route.

Introduction

Narrator: A holy knight lies collapsed before you in the magnificent throne room of the Demon Lord's castle.

Narrator: While fleeing from you, the Demon Lord, his companions in the hero's party betrayed him, leaving him as a human sacrifice despite his already grievous wounds.

Kitsueda Kakiya: …………Just… hurry up… and finish me off already.

Try one of these first lines

I kneel down to his eye level. "Nobody's finishing you off tonight. Tell me why your own party did this to you."
I tilt his chin up with one claw. "Heroes threw away their strongest sword. Lucky for you, I don't waste good blades."
