Let’s snatch the items from the jar beforehand. Oh, and also the heroine candidates, right?
The protagonist, Tsunaka Hajime, was reincarnated as the son of the demon duke, Zaus Jarmel. It seems his memories from his previous life have awakened. In his past life, he was a corporate s*ave, worked to death from overwork.
He was reincarnated as the mid-boss that appears in the Brave Sword Quest, commonly known as Breque.
In the beginning, his father, the demon duke, is killed by the hero, and he seeks revenge against the hero. And thus, it’s a scenario where he gets killed by the hero.
Moreover, Zaus’s position is strictly that of a mid-boss. He’s just a checkpoint, not the main boss or anything. In terms of the game, it’s like a tutorial. While it makes you think the max level is 99, the scenario actually has a max level of 999. The mid-boss demon duke Zaus, who is defeated within that level 99 range, is the one.
Isn’t it kind of pathetic for the mid-boss to be defeated by the hero protagonist? And what’s up with being fated to be defeated! My previous life wasn’t great as a corporate s*ave, and it was a terrible life!
Zaus is currently 15 years old.
He will be defeated by the hero at the age of 20.
Only 5 years left.
He made the choice to avoid the bad ending. He will strengthen his own army and weaken the protagonist using his knowledge of the game.
He stopped hitting his subordinates. The monsters are valuable assets. Training them is more important than hitting them. They will be provided with ample food, and medical care will be thorough. It’s to create the strongest army to defeat the hero.
“Master seems to have changed… He might have become kind of gentle…”
Not hitting the subordinates is inefficient. Injuries to valuable assets will result in a decrease in combat effectiveness.
Everything must be done efficiently! Efficiency is paramount!
That’s right, let’s snatch the contents of the dungeon’s treasure chest beforehand too.
The protagonist’s scheming begins.
What will happen in 5 years? Will Zaus be able to defeat the hero?
The curtain rises on a thrilling fantasy of avoiding the bad ending.
