Yili Village.
A tavern in the village.
"Have you heard? After fighting for half a year, the brave men finally killed the Demon King. Now the Demon King's men are almost cleared."
"Thank God. We can finally have peace for a while."
"But the Demon King cannot be eliminated. Even if the current Demon King has been killed, the Demon King's power will still cultivate a new Demon King."
"Why do you care so much? It will be at least fifty years later."
"Anyway, we can have some free time again."
"That's right! Cheers!"
After the Demon King was eliminated, peace returned to the entire continent.
The villagers of Yili Village, who no longer need to host heroes and adventure groups, gather at the tavern at the head of the village every day, drinking wheat beer and chatting.
In the corner of the bar of the tavern, a handsome young man silently watched the lively scene without saying a word.
The young man had black hair and black eyes that were rare in the kingdom. He looked elegant and easy-going. He picked up the beer in his hand and took a sip calmly.
In fact, the boy was panicking now.
Three or four black lines slowly pulled down from the young man's forehead.
Bold black characters that only the boy could see appeared in the center of his field of vision.
[Name: Xia Mi]
[Race: Human Race]
[Occupation 1: Villager]
[Level: Level 27 (103/1000)]
[Status: Drinking]
Newly added: [Hidden Profession: The new heir to the Demon King]
Newly added: [Level: 1]
Wait, what's going on with this horse rider?
Xia Mi was so frightened that the hand holding the beer began to tremble.
It has been two and a half years since he traveled to this different world, and he has long been accustomed to his identity as Villager A of Novice Village. Why does he suddenly have an additional profession now?
Or the new heir to the Demon King!
[After the death of the old devil, the power of the devil has not dissipated, and he has been looking for a suitable successor to the devil on the continent of Elland. The power of the devil has chosen you and will grant you unlimited magic. It is an honor to accept this great identity, destroy all the brave men, and restore the glory of the demon clan! 】
Xia Mi twitched the corner of his mouth: "..."
Isn't this kind of thing a bit too forced for a novice villager?
…
Similar to the settings of most novels, Xia Mi is not a native of this world, but a traveler who has traveled to a different world.
However, he did not travel through time to become a brave man, but instead became an ordinary villager in Novice Village.
Two and a half years ago, he accidentally bought an unreleased JRPG game. After briefly understanding the world view and background, he was about to start trying it out when his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he had traveled to this game world where swords and magic, warriors and demons coexisted, and he was successfully reincarnated into a novice villager.
After all, he is also a time traveler. Is he so shameless?
However, Brother Xun said: We are already here, what else can we do.
Although he is a villager, he cannot summon his friends, dominate the situation, and defeat the devil like a brave man; nor can he control the power of darkness and conquer the sky and the earth like the devil.
But at least there is no life-threatening danger in Novice Village.
Xia Mi's main focus is stability.
Villagers are just villagers, there's nothing wrong with that. In the game, his identity is one of those background NPCs that don't even have an exclamation mark on their head and cannot issue tasks. Completely eliminating the possibility of getting involved with heroes and adventurers.
In a different world, there are many different races. Wouldn't it be great to be an inconspicuous villager, save some savings, and then marry a big-breasted and long-legged alien girl?
However, all thoughts were killed today one Kun year later.
[Demon King, take action quickly! 】
[Main mission: Clean up the mess. 】
[Accept now/Accept later]
There is no option to refuse at all!
"Why choose me?"
Xia Mi complained in his mind.
Is it just because he inherited the damn skin and appearance from his previous life that he has the same ordinary handsomeness as everyone in front of the screen?
Although because of his appearance, there is a gap between him and ordinary villagers. But in essence, he is still a villager who only knows farming skills and serves as a backdrop on a daily basis.
[The Demon King and ninety-five percent of the monsters have been wiped out by the hateful brave man. The revitalization of the Demon clan urgently needs a hard-working person. In your previous life, you have been 007 for five consecutive years after graduating from college, took annual leave, and ranked first in the company in terms of performance. You perfectly meet this condition. 】
Gan!
Did you choose the devil, or a pure worker? !
Xia Mi was not in the mood to drink beer at all.
At this time, the villagers gathered in the center of the tavern started to make a noise.
The rumor crystal in the center of the tavern slowly glows. This is a crystal used by the Kingdom of Fes to spread news. The crystal will only light up when the royal capital announces important news to the entire kingdom.
Now, everyone's eyes are looking over.
A serious radio sound sounded.
"An emergency announcement is now playing."
"The seven great magicians of Fata just issued a warning to the entire continent."
"The power of the Demon King has chosen the new successor to the Demon King."
The villagers in the tavern immediately exploded.
"No, the Demon King died just a week ago. Is there a next Demon King so soon?"
"Calm down, I'm just the heir."
"Mama gave birth to it."
"Are you going to start conquering the Demon King again?"
Fata is the place that symbolizes the highest magical power on this continent, and the seven great magicians in Fata are even more important figures.
The tavern owner signaled the villagers to be quiet and continue listening.
"According to the oracles of the seven great magicians, some information about the new successor to the Demon King can now be announced."
Oracle is a prophecy technique specially used to deal with the devil.
Seven great magicians prayed to the Goddess of Magic in the Tower. The Goddess of Magic would send down some oracles about the Demon King. Through these oracles, they can help the brave and the adventure group find the successor of the Demon King who is still in his infancy, so as to completely defeat the Demon King. Destroy them before they grow.
"The new heir to the Demon King is a male whose xp is a foreign girl."
Villager A: "As expected of the devil!"
nnd!
Playing against it, right?
As soon as I got the Demon King's identity card, seven such arrogant prophets showed up.
He might as well blow himself up.
Xia Mi was a little angry when his computer system was made public, and the beer glass in his hand was almost crushed.
Fortunately, Rumor Crystal has not updated any more news.
The CD of Oracle is very long.
"The seven great magicians will continue to use oracles to get more information about the new successor to the Demon King. King Fes is here to issue a message to all the people in the kingdom. The new successor to the Demon King has appeared, and in this time the crown prince has become the real Before you become the Demon King, you must kill him!"
The light of the Rumor Crystal disappears.
"It's a pity. This is all the news at the moment."
"By the way, Theo, I saw you in the sheepfold this morning..."
"Sheep, sheep are not considered aliens!... I just went in to put some food and grass."
