And that's Volume 1. I did 7 chapters of Ecstas Online, and 2 of 10,000 Steps. Huh.. I'm gonna die.

Welp, Hainemakoru out. Just for today, don't be confused. And, Volume 1 is over. YAY!

Edit: I'm sorry! This is the end of Chapter 1 of Volume 1.

VOLUME 1, CHAPTER 1-9

From there, it was just total annihilation. The forces of humans are already out of order, and cannot perform correctly as an army. However, there was a girl who looked at the war situation with a calm look. The Magician, s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+. Moving from her eyebrows that's gathering wrinkles, staring the soldiers that are falling one after another.

「I thought luck was on our side when h.e.l.lshaft's existence was on the battlefield.」

s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+ who did not lend a hand to Ichinomiya Akira who was trying to stand up on his feet. s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+ glared at me with a fierce expression on her eyebrows.

「To use the Demon Lord as a decoy.....」

A cold sweat appears on s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+'s steep expression. Getting ready to stand up, Ichinomiya stared at the castle.

「s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+――」

「It's useless. This time, let's give up and retreat.」

s.h.i.+zuku Is.h.i.+ who answers in a stubborn tone, Ichinomiya bit his lower lips.

「Ku...Although the war has finally occurred! We must capture Infermia, and reach h.e.l.l's Gate no matter what!」

However, he turns around and calls out to the soldiers.

「We will withdraw! The rendezvous place is Girnack! If you don't make it in time, I will meet you in Caldart! Avoid the battles on the battlefield as much as possible. And don't forget to use your recovery potions!」

Along with the other cla.s.smates, Ichinomiya ran away. At the same time, the soldiers without personalities who were fighting on the battlefield also fled away in all directions and disappeared.

Aside from my cla.s.smates, they are all NPC. Is it an extra-generated content for this castle raid quest?

On the battlefield, both corpses of humans and demons were left there. A lot of corpses. However, the dead bodies begin turning into light particles one after another and disappear.

「The King of the Dark Realm! Our King, h.e.l.lshaft-sama!」

Turning around, thousands of monsters kneeled and stared at me. It was really a grand view. There were monsters from various races mixed up. And right before me was four people of h.e.l.l Sector, Gracia, Adora, Forneus, and Satanakia.

Four people from h.e.l.l Sector grasped their fists and pushed it up towards the sky. Then, Adora shouts in a sonorous voice.

「Our King, h.e.l.lshaft-sama! The one who dominates the entire world! Here is to honor our glorious victory!」

Then, several thousands of monsters grasped their fists and pushed them up to the sky in the same way.

And they shout the same thing.

「h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l!」

Voices of several thousands of demons overlap. It's a huge acoustic rocking the heavens the and earth. 「h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l!」

While listening to the voices that rock the entire body, I murmured the name of this world in my mind.

This is『Exodia Exodus』

A whole new-generation VR interface to use the innovative MMORPG.

Developed by none other but h.e.l.lz Domain.

My job is to design the characters of this game. And I'm in charge of the characters――

I then gazed at the distant, black huge castle.

The ultimate boss and the protectors who protect the Demon's Castle Infermia and the h.e.l.l's Gate behind it.

I looked down at my body.

――That is, the body of the Demon Lord h.e.l.lshaft.
