《True Ruler》Rightful King!
Advertisement
After what happened at the waterpark, me and the rest of the team were stuck there for a week before we could get back and now this?
Sullivan: Iruma-kuuun~!
Opera: Is it true that your plans for the today were cancelled?
Me: Huh?
What?
My plans were cancelled?
Why?
Before I knew it, Sullivan gave me something to put on and ushered me out of our house. I had nearly the feeling that he was throwing me out but oh well.
Sullivan: Today you can accompany me. We both got an invitation.
Me: Accompany you where?
Sullivan: You will see.
Opera: Wait before you two go can I have a talk you Iruma?
Me: Sure.
Sullivan: I'll be waiting in the carriage for you.
Although the carriage was already prepared, I went back inside with Opera. He lead me to our small visitors room and I immediately went and sat down on the couch.
Me: What is it Opera?
Opera: In the Underworld, demons who serve other demons, like me, are called security devils. Protecting our Master's live is our priority, but we're also responsible for protecting their reputation and status as well as appearance.
Me: You sure got it hard with Sullivan then.
Opera: It might look like that but it actually is fun. We support them in every way we can. That's why I will always do my best to help him.
Me: Grandpa is sure someone really important to you.
Opera: Yes.
Me: I thought so! Just like a family, right?
Opera: Right... My feeling are of adoration and devotion but also dependence.
Me: Dependence?
Opera: The demon world is a place where demons hold very little sympathy for others. Yet it is where Sullivan taught me what it means to "Serve". I believe that if I sacrifice everything up to the last drop of my blood the demon who I serve will respond to my sacrifice and do even more in return. Essentially this type of servitude is a dependence based on trust. This is how I have been serving Sullivan-sama and one day I'd like to serve you this way as well Iruma-sama.

He then went in front of me and kneeled down.
Opera: Iruma-sama if you continue to live as one of the Sullivan family, you will find yourself in my difficult positions and face many troubles BUT If you still choose this place may I place my Trust in you?
He was offering me his hand and I couldn't take it. It felt wrong for me and so I stood up and helped him stand up again.
Me: You don't have to bow to me. I may be a royal dragon but that doesn't mean I am a Master. I would be happy to have you as my equal Opera. We are family after all.
Opera: Now I can accompany you to the event in peace.
Me: What event.
Opera: In order to stand amongst the nobility and take up your position as the rightful owner of the demon world, you have been invited to the Babel Tower 665th floor.
Now I knew why I was dressed this formally and why Sullivan was ushering me to go. He wanted to see me be where I belong on top of the foot chain.
Everything made sense now to me.
Opera: Are you ready?
Me: I was born ready! This is my birthright after all.
Somewhere in the underworld where the babel tower is standing. The demons of the demon world all gathered together at the 665th floor for an important guest.
???: Welcome our guest Iruma the Saphire ancestor.
Just like that Iruma went inside a room to find 13 demons around a table all staring at him and on the top of that very table was his grandpa with 2 other people.
Sullivan: This is my grandson Iruma-kun.
demon 1: How do we know he really is an ancestor?
The room was big enough since it was built by the ancestors to withstand them walking around. It was a building made generations ago by the very first royal dragon.
Sullivan: Iruma-kun if you please?
Iruma: I understand.
If someone ask to see a dragon then they should at least be prepared for one, right? That was the basic thought of anyone that would be asked to show themself. However as Iruma turned into a hug blue and black dragon a couple of people by the table fell of their chair other began choking on the water they drank before.

The aura that Iruma was emitting was a calm yet deadly one. It was alluring but for a demon it was also calming and telling them not to worry but also not to aggravate him. They all knew that. It was something build into their DNA after all.
demon 4: He really is one.
demon 3: I thought they went all extinct!
Sullivan: They never have. They went to the human world and that is also where I found him.
Iruma: ROOOOOAAAARRRR!!!
He stood there and with one roar had all eye on him. No one was questioning the dragon's presence after he made himself known. Not only that but all the 13 demons including Sullivan stood up and bowed to him.
That was when Iruma decided to turn back into his dragonkin from with a dragon tail, wings and some other trails of a dragon. He was proud to be one after all.
Sullivan: Welcome back our true king!
Iruma: Stand up and let the feast begin.
It was a banquet after all and the food looked and smelled delicious. Not only that but Iruma wanted to see the different demons in this world act with each other he wanted to see if they would accept him. He was after all here to claim his rightful place as the world's king.
However this was no place for a king to feast after all. There was one empty seat that was on the opposite side close to his grandfather. The seat was bigger than anyone else's seat and it was for the king. Without even asking or waiting for an invitation, Iruma went to the seat and claimed it.
The demons at the table could only watch as a dragon returned to their world and also grazed them with his presence. Not only that but he was very kind and caring as well as powerful and capable to rule the demon world.
This was how the Underwolrd found himself a new ruler. One that was born in a different world far away from his rooted. He faced many hardships and overcame every single one and while he did that he also build up trust with a lot of different demons that would gladly give their life's for him.
This was a new era one where Iruma didn't put up with anyone threatening his position or even question it. He was powerful and abbot a Yodh too. There was no one that could go against him alone. No one in their right mind would even go against their ancestor. The citizens of this world were happy and cheered for the young ruler.
If they was someone threatening the peace between the demons, it was Iruma who didn't even blink an eye and punish the culprits severely. The new king was not only kind but he valued friends, family and every demon who put trust in him. No one was to threaten him or his territory and demons he was looking over that was a promise he made to himself. No one should go unpunished for doing a crime and getting away even if that meant for him needing to personally hunt them down.
This was the story of how the rightful owner of the babel 666th tower demon kings throne room, the king of this demon world came back and claimed a thrown that was left for thousands of thousands of years being in the care of demons.
This was the beginning of a peaceful area one where Iruma was watching over everyone and letting them know how important kindness could be to a demon too.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
