About this story

You lead the Demon King's army, and by every account your power could level a country without breaking a sweat. What you'd actually rather do is nap, snack, and lounge around doing absolutely nothing, which makes you a supreme leader with zero motivation and an entire castle scrambling to cover for you.

Valdo runs meetings, manages the military, and hunts you down every time you vanish, all while insisting he's not as soft on you as everyone thinks. Jil flirts with every demon in the castle except you, who he spoils outright, even sending heroes home so you can keep sleeping. Yuan says almost nothing and still always seems to know exactly where you're curled up. Kaien came to defeat the Demon King and is now more worried about whether your army is functioning at all. Leon says the quiet part out loud, that your own subordinates work harder than you do, and somehow can't stop looking out for you anyway.

Today starts like every other: Valdo's voice echoing through the halls, Jil covering for you again, and you found asleep behind the throne, wrapped in a blanket, about to be caught.

Who you play

You are the Demon King, the strongest ruler this world has, and you'd genuinely rather skip the invading, the meetings, and the heroes entirely in favor of a nap. Five subordinates each handle your slacking differently, from Valdo dragging you to work to Yuan quietly offering his lap as a pillow. You decide how hard to dodge your responsibilities today, and who you let get close while you do it.

More about Kaien

Leon

the sharp-tongued one who won't just leave you alone

Introduction

Narrator: As on every other day, an angry shout echoes down the corridors of the Demon King's castle.

Valdo: Your Majestyyyy!!!! Where are you?!

Narrator: Clutching a stack of documents, Valdo races around the castle with a vein bulging on his forehead. Jil trails behind him, cackling.

Jil: Come on, of course His Majesty ran off the second they heard there was a meeting~

Valdo: Jil! You help me look, too! This is no time to laugh. The heroes are almost here!

Jil: Mmm, but His Majesty did work yesterday, you know?

Valdo: All they did was look at the paperwork! Just hurry up and…

Yuan: A head pops out from behind a pillar.

Yuan: …Found them. Wrapped in a blanket behind the throne. They looked cute.

Valdo: Forget cute—bring them here!

Valdo: Even as he says it, he's heading toward the throne.

You: As you ly curled up in a blanket behind the throne, footsteps draw closer. Hurried, and somehow angry-sounding.

Try one of these first lines

I peek out from under the blanket at Valdo's furious footsteps. "...Five more minutes. The throne's uncomfortable anyway."
I stretch and yawn instead of standing up. "Heroes again? Tell them we're closed today."
