I’m Not the Demon King

It’s been 2 days since I started living in the Demon Castle.

Was it a problem that I stayed cooped up inside all day playing Demon King? Now, the enemies recognize me and are charging at me.

“It’s the Demon King!!!”

“It’s the Blood Demon King!!!”

As a human, I haven’t been immune to death either. But the problem was that I died when I happened to be carrying a lot of coins.

I died with roughly 7,000 coins on me, so a huge number of coins burst out like a blue hedgehog dropping rings.

The user who looted my corpse filmed the video and pinned it on Deron Gallery, and after that, rumors spread that you could get a huge amount of coins if you caught me.

Users who were fighting each other immediately swung their swords at me.

A mage far away was supporting the attack, pouring out powerful and flashy magic.

Immediately, I ducked to avoid the sword and slashed the opponent’s chest with my sword.

The moment the opponent flinched at the large wound, the magic that was flying at me swish-ed and veered off, finishing off the enemy whose health had been lowered.

Like this, in the Demon Castle, there were no eternal allies or eternal enemies.

The moment blood-stained coins spread out from the body of the user who had become a corpse, I burst out through the pile of coins and reached out my hand.

From my outstretched hand, a black aura burst out, creating a large hand of death.

Shuaaaak!

The rapidly extending hand of death chases the mage user.

The user was greatly flustered and used Blink, but I also changed direction, altering the path of the skill.

Kwok!

“Euaht!”

The enemy caught in the large hand starts to be dragged quickly. The mage user starts casting magic with a greatly flustered look.

At that moment, a rogue user popped out next to the mage user who was being caught by my skill.

He came out of stealth and swung his dagger very quickly, cutting off the mage user’s neck.

Then, he stole the coins scattered on the floor and ran away very quickly.

As the days go by, the rogue users’ antics are going too far.

It was quite a distance to chase after them now.

I bit my lip and glared at the place where the rogue had disappeared.

Anyway, I had to collect the coins too.

But I couldn’t collect the coins. Surely, red coins should have fallen near the corpse of the user I just defeated.

But now, neither the corpse nor the coins could be found.

It was natural for the user’s corpse to disappear as time passed, but not the coins.

The dropped coins should have stayed in that place no matter how much time passed.

Unless someone else stole them.

“Eueue…”

The rogues definitely stole my coins.

They were looking for an opportunity in stealth, and while I was distracted by the fight, they stole my coins that had fallen on the floor and ran away, that’s for sure.

Even if I stomped on the floor in anger, I could only hear the sound of blood splattering.

The rogues who had already left the scene could not be found.

As I was growing resentment towards the rogues, one change occurred.

The blood that had spread under my feet began to gather towards one place.

This phenomenon means only one thing.

It meant that the boss Vampiric was respawning.

I hurriedly started running. If I followed the blood moving to one place, I would arrive at a large room, and that was Vampiric’s room.

It wasn’t just me who discovered this phenomenon.

Other users were also running quickly, aiming for Vampiric.

Of course, not all users were aiming for Vampiric.

There were also users who hunted users running towards the boss.

Screams and shouts, and flashy skill effects burst out from all directions.

I ignored all of that and ran to Vampiric’s room.

A fight had already started near Vampiric’s room.

Users who started rampaging in all directions indiscriminately spammed skills at anyone, regardless of whether they were enemies or allies.

Shouldn’t we cooperate with other users to hunt the boss?

There would be people who think that way.

I thought so too at first.

However, the boss Vampiric, which was made to fit the map characteristics of this Demon Castle, had weak specs enough to be hunted by a single user.

It felt only slightly stronger than elite monsters, so if a user had properly equipped items, they could easily catch it.

Of course, if they weren’t disturbed by other users.

I drew my sword and surveyed the situation.

It would be okay to rush in and clean up the users first, but rogue users hiding in stealth might pop out.

The scariest thing in this Demon Castle was none other than the rogues.

The Demon Castle was a place that made rogue users truly become thieves.

[Blood Lord – Vampiric reveals himself!]

At that moment, a message appeared announcing Vampiric’s respawn.

The users who were fighting in front of Vampiric’s room immediately turned around and rushed into the room.

There are many users. If they only focus on the boss without fighting each other, Vampiric will melt away in an instant.

I also hurriedly ran to the room where Vampiric was.

There was one rogue who came out of stealth and rushed out in the middle, but I moved lightly and put a knife in his neck.

“Ugh, keuk…”

“To stab the Demon King. How dare you…”

“C-Crazy Blood Demon King…”

“Blood Demon? I don’t know such a person.”

“Y-You know everything, you crazy concept-obsessed bastard… Keureuk…”

Before the rogue user could spout any more nonsense, I moved my sword and cut off his neck.

When I entered the room, Vampiric had already lost 50% of his health.

But it wasn’t decreasing any further.

This was because the users who were hitting the boss had started swinging their swords at each other.

With dozens of users fighting in a narrow room, there was no such thing as a free-for-all like this.

At that moment, a black mage user who had been crouching in the corner of the room straightened his back and began to pour out black magic from his body.

Kwaaaang!

The ominous magic that soared in an instant reveals an enormous presence.

The mage immediately began to pour all his skills on Vampiric.

Vampiric’s health, which had been maintaining 50%, began to decrease very quickly.

Then the users stopped fighting and rushed at Vampiric.

“Black Mage! Kill the Black Mage!”

They shout to kill the Black Mage and rush towards the boss themselves.

They couldn’t be more selfish.

But it wasn’t just the Black Mage who used racial skills.

Blue lights soared simultaneously from the bodies of the users who were watching the situation.

They had activated the human race’s racial skill [Potential Unleashed].

Vampiric’s health is decreasing rapidly.

Now, the remaining health is 20%.

It was time to make a move.

I plunged my sword into the ground.

It’s a skill that can only be used once a day, but since I’m stuck in this Demon Castle until the shutdown system anyway, there was no need to use it elsewhere.

Kaang!

[Declaration of the Sanctuary of the Fallen Sun God]

Paaaaat!

It has turned into an ordinary sword, but the performance of this sword remains the same.

Therefore, it means that the skill can still be used as is.

The corrupted black sanctuary begins to spread widely along the sword.

The sanctuary, which spread over a wide area, filled the entire Vampiric’s room and still had room to spare.

“T-This is…!”

The users’ gazes finally turn to me.

I drew my sword and pointed it at them.

Now, for this one moment, I use all doping and skills.

[Berserk]

Kung-!

My heart beats loudly, and my vision expands.

With the hand not holding the sword, I take out a doping potion and shove it into my mouth.

“It’s Yeon!!!”

“It’s Chewy-Squishy Cow!!!”

Everyone recognizes me and starts shouting.

But, I here am a completely different person from Yeon outside.

I raised my hand and touched my face. I could feel the texture of the Demon race’s unique angular face and hard skin.

It was certain. That I now look completely different from the outside.

The time I can maintain Magic Release now is exactly 1 minute.

I’ll settle it within that time.

“Magic!!!”

“Stop him from coming!”

“The boss’s last hit will be stolen!!!”

The users shout with urgent expressions, but no one blocks me.

It was natural. I am the Demon King himself now.

To block me means to challenge the authority of the Demon King.

“Release!!!”

Kwaaaaat!

The stats that had risen to the limit rise once again.

The increase in physical ability due to the greatly increased stats.

The magic that spreads out from my body like an explosion covers my surroundings.

The black magic that flows out is mixed with red blood energy and begins to scatter into the air.

It’s time to move.

The dramatic increase in physical ability had a tremendous effect.

Pat-!

The moment I kicked off the ground, my body had already passed the users.

An attack using the [Dash] skill. The crimson afterimage mixed with blue mana stretches out long like a tail.

The users’ gazes finally turned to me.

But my sword had already been swung.

Chwaaaak!

The neck of the user who was blocking my path is cut off and he falls.

Starting with the Demon Castle coins he was holding pouring out, the time that had stopped began to flow again.

“No!!!”

One user screams and starts pouring attacks on Vampiric.

Urgency rises on the Demon race’s hideous face.

Pajijik-!

The moment black lightning blooms from the tip of the sword, a rapid sword strike pours towards Vampiric.

Chwaaaak!

The long, stretched-out crimson afterimage of the sword, followed by another attack.

The interference of the users flying in from all directions could not keep up with my speed.

The boss Vampiric started to activate his skills, but that speed also couldn’t catch up with my attack.

Kwajik!

The final blow cuts off Vampiric’s head.

Along with Vampiric falling while gushing blood, the item dropped by the boss entered my inventory.

The last hit was mine.

“Kill him! At least take the coins!!!”

The paladin user standing next to me shouted loudly and swung his sword.

His sword contained a long, stretched-out divine power.

I couldn’t recover my attack posture towards the boss.

My side was stabbed by the sword containing divine power, and my health decreased in an instant.

But it’s okay. I reached out my hand towards the mage user who was maintaining a low health state.

Paaaat!

The hand stretched out while retreating, and the hand of death popped out and dragged the mage user in front of me.

The mage user closed his eyes calmly as if he had sensed his end.

I grabbed the user’s head with my hand and looked around.

[Life Absorption]

Red blood energy is drawn out from the mage and begins to be absorbed into my body.

Everyone entered this boss room without dying.

It means that everyone has quite a few coins gathered.

Of course, there may be guild members or alliance members, but everyone was an enemy inside this Demon Castle.

“I am not Yeon.”

So I don’t make exceptions.

I kicked off the ground once again.
