《The Demon Lord’s Successor》2: Infodump
Advertisement
The previous Demon Lord is dead and his big-chested minion—and possibly his daughter— is kneeling before you. Wait! If she’s his daughter, and he said I’m his son, then... Your brain short-circuits when you realize the possability that you have a big-chested sister who is kneeling before you.
However, that is all the information you have. So, before you make any rash decisions you need to know what the actual situation is. You pause and try to figure out the best way to get answers out of the monster girl without making a fool out of yourself on your first day as a Demon Lord.
“On our way here you said things are much worse than I realized,” you speak to the minotaur girl slowly, in the deepest voice you can muster. “My... father is dead, and what little I have seen of this place fails to impress. What more are you not telling me? Speak!”
“Ah! Yes, My Lord!” She answers bowing her head. “I am sorry to inform you, but m-your father was gravely wounded in the Great War over fifteen years ago. Using Dark magic my sisters were able to save his life, but he was bound to these halls ever since!
The neighbouring kingdoms did not waste the opportunity and attacked our kingdom with combined forces, like vultures. It was the fastest fall of a Demon Lord’s kingdom in recorded history! Our enemies did not kill yor father, because they thought it was funny.
Our entire kingdom is now reduced to a couple of ruined halls, seven Goblins farming the rocky soil, and one of my sisters, who works in a brothel to earn money for basic supplies. Now villagers laugh when they hear the name Graf Wilhelm von Helmman.
Only two years ago your father’s condition imporved well enough to regain the ability to use summoning magic. The results were... varying. But we were finally successfull! And with your potential awoken, we will rebuild our kingdom and conquer this world once and for all!”

The minotaur girl stands up, her eyes shining brightly at the thought of world domination.
“Could I ask you to summon a couple dozen minions?” she asks you. “I realize it is impossibly easy, but for now we must not draw too much attention to ourselves. And it would help me greatly with protection of what little lands we have left so that I can focus on other tasks.”
Obviously she has great expectations of you, most likely based on your supposed father’s abilities. To figure out what your options even are you gather all the Isekai knowledge at your disposal and manage to successfully open a game-like Status tab.
Apart from your level and your class as a Demon Lord there is not much to look at. A button keeps flashing on and off in bright red letters.

I am...*sigh* a speck of dust.
Hey, I'm...well, I'm not human anymore so I don't suppose that name matters. Anyway, just call me D. Why? Cause I'm dust. Not like, "Oh, no one notices me, it's like I'm dust in the air", but like..actually just a speck of dust. Nothing exciting going on, no action packed fights or cringey romances. Just...dust. I have a little system menu and everything, like all the 'OP' protagonists, but I mostly use it for the notes feature. Like right now. So, if anyone ever sees this, like, if the System stores it somewhere or whatever, just move along. Nothing special here.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.

The question that remains is where will the winding road that is his future take him? Will he study for countless years to become one of the Holy Mages? Will he strive to become a knight and fight his way up to the fabled Throne of the Battle Saint Pietra? Will he become the finest craftsman to have ever graced Estoch?
