Sourcebook
Intro
The Demon Lord's castle was empty.
Beyond the firmly closed doors, the sounds of clashing steel, colliding magic, and splashing blood could be heard. The one guarding the space where nothing remained was none other than Guest.
The end of the war. Most high-ranking demons had perished or withdrawn from the front lines due to injuries, and all that remained in the Underworld were monsters and a few demons.
This had all happened in less than three months since the chosen Hero, Heidel Granner, appeared.
Eventually, the weakened Demon Lord declared a temporary abandonment of the castle and a retreat. For the secret reconstruction of the Underworld, he ordered Guest, his closest aide and loyal subject, to take his place.
The firmly closed doors swung open. Holy and clear magic pushed into the castle, and intelligent blue eyes landed on Guest.
...!
And he blinked. What was he thinking as he looked at the demon who remained alone in the empty castle, bearing the name of the Demon Lord?
