Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager

Yili Village.

The tavern at the entrance of the village.

"Have you heard? After half a year of battle, the heroes finally killed the Demon King. Now, even the Demon King's minions are almost cleaned up."

"Thank heavens. We can finally have some peace for a while."

"But the Demon King can't be completely eliminated. Even if the current Demon King is dead, the Demon King's Power will still cultivate a new Demon King."

"Why worry about that? That won't happen for another fifty years at least."

"Anyway, we can relax for a while now."

"Exactly! Cheers!"

After the Demon King was removed, the entire continent returned to peace.

No longer needing to host heroes and adventuring parties, the villagers of Yili Village usually gathered at the tavern at the village entrance, drinking wheat beer while chatting openly.

In a corner of the tavern's bar, a handsome young man silently watched the lively scene without saying a word.

The young man had rare black hair and black eyes within the kingdom, appearing gentle and amiable. He calmly took a sip of the beer in his hand.

In reality, the young man was extremely anxious at the moment.

Several black lines slowly slid down the young man's forehead.

Only the young man could see the bold black text appear in the center of his vision.

[Name: Shami]

[Race: Human Race]

[Job 1: Villager]

[Level: Level 27 (103/1000)]

[Status: Drinking]

Newly added: [Hidden Job: New Demon King Heir]

Newly added: [Level: 1]

Wait, what the heck is this?

Shami was so shocked that his hand holding the beer began to tremble.

He had transmigrated to this outerworld for two and a half years, and he was already accustomed to the identity of Villager A in Newbie Village. Why had a new job suddenly appeared?

And it's the New Demon King Heir!

[After the Old Demon King passed away, the Demon King's Power didn't dissipate. It has been searching for a suitable Demon King Heir on the Aireland Continent. The Demon King's Power has chosen you and will grant you unlimited magic power. Proudly accept this great identity, eliminate all heroes, and restore the glory of the Demon Race!]

Shami twitched his mouth: "..."

Isn't this kind of thing a bit too much for a villager from Newbie Village?

...

Similar to most novel plots, Shami is not a native of this world, but a transmigrator to the outerworld.

However, he did not transmigrate as a hero, but as an ordinary villager from Newbie Village.

Two and a half years ago, he accidentally got his hands on a JRPG game that hadn't been released yet. After familiarizing himself with the world background, he was about to start playing when his vision suddenly went black, and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he had transmigrated into this game world where sword and magic, warriors and Demon Kings coexist, and successfully reincarnated as a villager from Newbie Village—Villager A.

What can he say; he's a transmigrator, isn't this kind of thing too embarrassing?

However, Brother Xun said: Since you're here, what else can you do?

Although his identity is that of a villager, he can't summon companions like heroes, can't conquer all with a whirlwind, and can't slay the Demon King; nor can he control the dark power like a Demon King, defying both heaven and earth.

But at least there's no life-threatening danger in Newbie Village.

Shami's main trait is stability.

Being a villager isn't bad. In the game, his identity is one of those background NPCs without even a quest marker. It completely eliminates the possibility of getting involved with heroes or adventurers.

In the outerworld, where races are rampant, living as an inconspicuous villager, saving up some money, and then marrying a busty, long-legged woman from another race sounds quite enjoyable, doesn't it?

However, all these thoughts were killed today, one rocking year later.

[Demon King, hurry up and take action!]

[Main Quest: Clean Up the Mess.]

[Accept Immediately/Postpone Acceptance]

There isn't even an option to refuse!

"Why did you choose me?"

Shami complained inwardly.

Is it just because he inherited the damned looks and appearance from his previous life, making him just as ordinarily handsome as everyone in front of the screen?

Although his appearance set him apart from normal villagers, he is still fundamentally a villager who only knows farming skills, daily serving as a background extra.

[Ninety-five percent of the Demon King and the demon creatures were exterminated by those hateful heroes, and the demon race revival urgently requires a diligent person. You perfectly fit this condition as someone who graduated from university in the previous life and worked consecutively under the 007 schedule for five years without resting over holidays, achieving the first performance in the company.]

Damn!

Are you choosing a Demon King or just a pure worker?!

Shami completely lost the mood to drink beer.

At this moment, the villagers gathered at the center of the tavern began to noise.

The rumor crystal in the center of the tavern slowly glowed; this crystal is used by the Fess Kingdom to spread messages and only lights up when the Royal Capital announces important news to the entire kingdom.

Everyone's eyes were directed towards the crystal.

A solemn broadcast sounded.

"This is an emergency announcement."

"Just now, the seven Great Mages from Faata issued a warning to the whole continent."

"The Demon King's Power has already chosen the New Demon King Heir."

The villagers in the tavern immediately erupted in disbelief.

"No way, it was only a week ago that the Demon King died. Is there already a new Demon King?"

"Calm down, it's just the heir."

"Born from Mom."

"Are we going to start slaying the Demon King again?"

Faata is the place representing the highest magical power on this continent, and the seven Great Mages in Faata are significant figures.

The tavern owner signaled the villagers to quiet down and continue listening.

"According to the Divination Art of the seven Great Mages, we can now disclose some information about the New Demon King Heir."

Divination Art is a technique specifically used to deal with Demon Kings.

The seven Great Mages in Faata pray to the Magic Goddess, who sends down oracle messages about the Demon King. Through these messages, heroes and adventuring parties can find the yet-to-mature Demon King Heir and eliminate them before the Demon King fully matures.

"The New Demon King Heir has an XP for exotic female characters."

Villager A: "No wonder it's the Demon King!"

nnd!

Picking on me, aren't you!

Just got the Demon King identity card, and here come seven top-notch prophets.

He might as well self-destruct.

The computer system publicly exposed Shami, who was somewhat enraged, almost crushed the beer glass in his hand.

Fortunately, the rumor crystal did not update with more news.

Divination Art's cooldown is very long.

"The seven Great Mages will continue using the Divination Art to obtain more information about the New Demon King Heir. King Fess hereby issues a proclamation to the entire kingdom. The New Demon King Heir has already appeared. Ensure he is eliminated before he becomes a true Demon King!"

The glow of the rumor crystal disappeared.

"What a pity. That's all the information we have for now."

"By the way, Theo, I saw you in the sheep pen this morning... "

"Sheep don't count as exotic races, okay!... I was just putting some fodder in there."
