How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord

In the massively multiplayer online game Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto has achieved such overwhelming power that other players revere him as the Demon Lord. His digital supremacy takes an unexpected turn when he is suddenly transported to a foreign world, retaining his formidable in-game appearance and abilities. Upon arrival, he encounters two young women who declare themselves his summoners. They attempt to bind him through an Enslavement Ritual intended to make him their obedient servant. However, Takuma’s passive abilities trigger instead, completely reversing the spell and leaving both girls enslaved to him. Despite possessing unmatched magical strength, Takuma struggles with severe social anxiety and lacks any real ability to communicate effectively with others. Faced with this dilemma, he decides to rely on the only persona he knows well: his intimidating in-game character. Embracing the role of Diablo, the feared Demon Lord, he projects absolute confidence to mask his insecurities. This bold decision sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure, as a socially awkward player hiding behind an earth-shattering alter ego navigates the challenges of an entirely new world.
