《The Demon Lord becomes the hero? DROPPED》Chapter 6: Future plans? ... nope
Advertisement
Author note: Sorry about releasing this chapter a bit after 7:00 GMT. I did say 5:00 - 7:00 because I thought I would get back home and on the computer to write and 5 ish. Turns out I got back at 6:30. So much for that plan. Anyways, that's why it's a tad delayed. Tomorrow I don't have to do anything so the next chapter will probably be released at around 2:00 PM GMT like usual. Anyway, hope you enjoy reading.

The routine continued for 5 more days. Being taught (self study. damn that halfling) in the mornings in the library and training or slime hunting in the afternoon.
Annoyingly, I couldn't spar against the aggressive soldiers from the first day, I could only go against Arthur. Maybe that was a good thing, I haven't seen them fight much so its difficult to gauge their strength. I want to be a lot stronger when I do fight them, maybe denting their armor with my wooden scimitar, crushing skin, fat, muscle and bone underneath the surface. I would love to see their faces if I managed to do that. They would probably fall on the floor, howling in pain. First, I have to raise my strength though.
A good thing about these last 5 days is that Arthur doesn't treat me as a hassle and is actual on time in the mornings now. Also, I managed to last 7 seconds against him in a spar (personal record).
So, through my efforts in the first week of arriving in this world, I have managed to level to level 7 according to my amulet.

(I didn't give him any extra wisdom. Drac re-used the same tactic over and over again)
I doubt I could get this strong so quickly in my old world. I'm going to have to get used to these new world physics that play to my advantage.
Something weird happened at the start of the second week. The librarian actually decided to teach me something. Or at least I think so. He's standing next to an open world map on a desk instead of sleeping in a pile of books like usual.
"Come here, boy" (halfling librarian)
I walk towards him and the map, only the map isn't like the one I previously saw. Unlike the last one, there are dots in 7 of the 8 countries.
"These are the 7 great dungeons that have prepared heroes for fighting the demon lord for the past 100,000 years. Each time a new demon lord appeared, each successful hero has gone through the dungeons. The ones that didn't, lets just say that ages of darkness and slavery came as a result. The dungeons are magically infused by the gods, changing the difficulty of each dungeon in proportion to the strength of the demon lord. The last person to have conquered each dungeon was the founder of Golrend. You will have to conquer all 7 dungeons. The last 6 heroes died horrible deaths in the first one. That's how we know that this time, the demon lord's strength is greater than anything before." (halfling librarian)
"6? Does that mean there were 6 recent ages of darkness?" (Drac)
"No, they all died fairly recently, in a range of a month of each other, when they went to the first dungeon. Each time, we one died, we immediately summoned another hero." (halfling librarian)

So that's why no one really liked me. Those bastards all thought I would die and why the King hasn't spent much money on them. Just means they will die worse deaths than before if they had treated me nicely.
"When will I have to go to the first dungeon?" (Drac)
"We only informed you last minute so you couldn't run away like the last hero. It was a hassle catching him. You are going to the Great Labyrinth of Golrend right now." (halfling librarian)
"Eh?! I'm not strong enough yet!" (Drac)
Without warning, a large blunt force hit me in the back of my head, knocking me unconscious.

Author note: Thanks for reading the chapter and once again, sorry for the delay. Also, chapter 5 was inspired by Nasir05's comment on chapter 2. I'm sorry I forgot to give credit last chapter. Remember, I read all comments and reply to the ones that have questions in them, or suggestions. Another thing, sorry that this one is a bit shorter than the others. I wanted to send him to the first dungeon quickly but I also had to release this chapter asap as I was late.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.
