I'm sad.

Very sad.

The Hero is at my doorsteps. He's entering my castle right now.

Though I may be the Demon King, I'm truly not very strong. In fact, the strongest demon, Alibaba, just got sealed with harem member no. 4's life yesterday. Quite understandable that the Hero's going after me for my "reincarnation stone," an item that lets a NON-demon reincarnate.

Now, why is this in my castle?

I don't know either. It's a d*mn useless thing that could only help the enemy. Really, the only explination why my predessesor Demon Lord didn't break it is a Deus Ex Machina for the Hero. Sigh, that Deus Ex Machina....

Eh? Why don't I destroy it? You see, I'm only a Demon Marquis-class power. I'd need to have the power of a Duke to duke it out with the stone and break it, but I don't. And, if I ask someone else to destroy it, I'll seem like a weak ruler, and I might lose the title of Demon King.

I obviously couldn't take the title back; the only reason I got it in the first place is my supreme ass-kissing skills.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to die.

At least I can do something against the Hero before I die... I think.

If I can't destroy the stone, curse it?

I'm rather good at cursing—well, I prefer saying reverse-blessing because it sounds better, but everyone else says cursing, so I'll have to stick with cursing—if I do say so myself.

No, I tried that before.

It doesn't work.

What do I do...?

Curse the Hero?

No, he's too powerful.

Reverse-BlessCurse his harem members?

No, they're more powerful than him.

Who else.......

Yes!

I've noticed a small bulge on harem member no. 1's stomach lately.

Why have I noticed something like that, you ask?

Ummm... Research purposes? I swear, it's not what you're thinking!

I'm only trying to gague the power level of the Hero.... who I've always known is stronger than me.... uguuuuuu.....

Nevermind.

Let's get to the point.

Babies tend not to be able to fight, especially undeveloped ones.

That's obvious.

And, harem member no. 1 is the weakest harem member. Added to the fact that pregnancy is a literal pain, her power should've weakened by several notches.

Enough to let me curse her child.

Yes, let me think of this curse.

"F*ck you, you little undeveloped baby! Go f*ck yourself and your mother, little *sssh*t!"

Effects: Delayed mental development, 50% less muscle development, no magic talent

.......

Okay, that was a joke. Curses require a sutable item to be sacrificed to get the effects. In other words, I just need to find the right item.

It has to be a valuable magic item that's powerful. It can't be an ordinary item like everything in this castle...

Oh yeah, everything is ordinary in this castle...

The previous Demon King decided to put all the super-valuable items in a very secure place. A very very very secure place. So secure that even I don't know where it is, though that might be good because I'd probably brible people with half of them and sell the other half for cash. Anyways, the location is in the hands of the State Treasurer, but he died last year. So, he gave the location to his son. But, since the humans are really pesky and try to kill us on sight, he died too. Now I have no idea where it is. In fact, I doubt anyone knows where it is.

So, I guess the only item of value is the reincarnation stone.

The only problem with usuing the reincarnation stone as a sacrifice is that it's more powerful than me, and it isn't meant for being a sacrifice in a magic ritual.

See, it's like using an actual Flashlight, not ***** but a Flashlight that lights up things, for beating your little brother. It just doesn't work unless your little brother can put a hole through it.

But, I'm going to die soon anyways, so YOLO!

For those that don't know, YOLO means "You Only have Less than an hour left, and you don't have any consequences Once dead, so who really cares?"

He entered.

No traps, no anything. I was the only one inside this castle today, and I would most likely be the last.

Us demons have lost.

The hero approached my throne, which I was sitting in, and pointed his holy sword at me.

"Any last words?"

"I'll curse your child! Your harem member no. 1's child! He will forever be weak, ugly, and stupid!"

At that point, I crushed a stone in my left hand while pointing at harem member no. 1.

A formless grey light flew from my outstreched hand and into the stomach of harem member no. 1.

...Did it succeed?

While thinking that, my vision turned blank.
