How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord!

Floid felt some mana leaving him and he realized that Dragonnel was probably taking some to use in fighting. Floid didn't even move as he started to absorb mana from the atmosphere again to replenish the one that Dragonnel was taking. This is another way for Floid to train his mana core. Since the amount of mana that he has will increase if he cycles more mana through his body, Floid can use this method to increase his mana capacity.

[MP: 1,001,150]

Floid smiled when he saw that his MP finally broke through to SSS-rank. Floid was now an official SSS-rank and he had to start training again to see if he could break through to the next rank. Dragonnel has still not told Floid about any other ranks, but Floid was sure that there was a rank above the SSS-rank. There is no way that the former demon lord only had this much power. There has to be a greater rank. But Floid would think about all that later. For now, he had to finish this journal.

The king was still writing about how he was disgusted with humanity after hearing that they gave up their children for Givalich. But Floid didn't care about some human children. Floid hoped that the king would write down where they sealed Givalich!

[After the babies were delivered, it didn't take a month before the man flew into the continent of Aradite on the back of Givalich. But now that we had Givalich, there was another problem. We could not control it. Givalich only listened to the Dragon Slayer and immediately after delivering the dragon, he disappeared. We decided to force Givalich into a contract that would allow us to channel his mana through the body of a human and then that human would be able to use his power. The first time we tried to channel his power, every single person involved in the magic ritual died. Givalich's power wasn't something humans could hold in their bodies so whoever tries to absorb his power is burnt to death because their magic core cannot contain the power. It took us another fifty years to come up with a solution to this problem. We decided that since the humans in this world could not hold the power of Givalich, we would use the forbidden summoning magic and call humans from another world,]

Floid gained a full understanding as he absorbed this statement. So this is how the summoning of heroes began here? But what Floid read was still a little surprising. He knows that when he was a hero, he could use some sort of fire ability and he also has that skill that allowed him to absorb mana from the air. But was all of that power gotten from Givalich? The game never even said anything about it! Even when Floid was looking through all of his abilities on the Wiki, they never spoke about the dragon, Givalich.

The humans in this world have been keeping Givalich a secret as some sort of trump card and they made sure that only the royals knew of his existence. It was a sound tactic! The fewer people that know about something, the fewer chances of someone fucking up and spilling the secret! But I wonder where they keep Givalich. If they sealed him then it has to be somewhere on this continent. If they seal him far away then it will be harder for the hero to use his power.

But Aradite is very large and it would be impossible to pinpoint the exact location. Floid decided to continue reading. He hopes that he would find out where Givalich was sealed in this journal.

[The first Hero we summoned was from a place known as Mars. He had no prior knowledge of our world and it was obvious that there was no magic where he came from. But when he came here he could use magic and he had a very large mana core, but it was not enough to handle Givaich's power, so he died after the first two days. We kept trying to summon heroes, but none of them could handle Givalich's power. Their body would burn up slowly from the inside before they died in one or two days. Their death was very painful, but we didn't stop Even if we are killing them, we still need them! We are weak and we need a hero to help us. So we continued summoning heroes. Before five hundred years passed, we killed more than three hundred heroes in secret. All of them died because they couldn't handle Givalich's power.]

Floid couldn't help the chuckle that came out of his mouth. The humans in this world have to be the most twisted group of people I've ever seen! The king was making it seem like it was necessary to kill those many people, but wasn't it just human greed? The humans in this world are so greedy that they would kill hundreds of people just so they can have the power of that dragon! It was so funny.

Floid's brow raised when he continued reading and he saw his name appear in the book.

[My father passed these things down to me since he was not able to complete the summoning in his own time. I decided that I would continue my father's work and after a long time, we managed to summon a proper hero who could withstand Givalich's power. His name was Floid Demonheart. He had extraordinary Mana reserves and skills. He was barely able to hold Givalichs power and he couldn't use a lot of it without experiencing great pain, but it was still enough as we immediately sent him out on the journey to defeat the demon lord. You already know how the hero defeated the demon lord since It is taught to every child. I know that you might feel guilt about the sacrifices we made, but the sacrifices of all the dead heroes were necessary! We feel horrible about it, but it was for the good of our people and we couldn't stop once we started!]

[After the hero finally defeated the demon lord and gave his life for us, the kingdoms decided that to prevent one kingdom from having more power over another one, we would divide the summoning magic and Givalich between the both of us. The kingdom of Uta kept the secret of summoning magic while we were given the seal that held Givalich. The kingdom of Aquinas has the seal that holds Givalich and you must never forget that it is a lot of power. I need you to remember that we are not inferior to Uta. We hold the power of the dragon and therefore we are strong. Look into your heart and I know you will figure out everything you need to make this kingdom even greater. I have already given you everything that you will need to rule this kingdom. I wish you well, my son.]

That was the end.

Floid felt his brows furrow in confusion as he read that last line. Was that it? Is that all? He rose the journal up and stared at it like it was a mystery to decipher. What the fuck!? That can't be the end! They didn't even say anything about Givalich's position! This bastard king was just ranting about the bullshit that the humans have done all this time. How can he end his journal in this stupid place? He didn't even say anything about the seal.

[Quest (Enter the king's study and figure out his secret) has been successfully passed. Rewards will be distributed]

Dammit! Where the fuck did you seal him? What did they use to seal him? And what sort of seal do they use to take his power? This entire thing was just a waste of time!

Floid was not only angry that the king ended the journal in a place like this, but he was also angry that the king was trying to justify the number of heroes he killed. Floid wasn't the first hero they summoned and they killed hundreds of people before they finally managed to get Floid, but the king was making it seem like it was a necessary sacrifice. If you kill someone then take responsibility. You shouldn't be ashamed to take responsibility for killing someone. You, humans, are always the same. You're much worse than demons but you're still trying to make yourselves look like saints. You committed mass murder so just take responsibility.

Floid threw the book down as he groaned and sat up. Floid could feel a lot of information entering his head as he got the reward from the system. The system was supposed to give Floid the knowledge of the Dragon Wars and it would take some time for Floid to process all of it. Floid just clicked his tongue in annoyance and tightened his gloves as he started to walk.

It was likely that the former king gave some sort of secret message that wasn't in this book to his son. There has to be another study somewhere. That useless king that Floid killed wouldn't have the intelligence to enter this room without help, so that means that the location of Givalich was hidden somewhere else. Floid wanted Givalich since it would be nice to have another strong person in his household. And if he had both the Dragon of Ice and the Dragon of Fire then it would be great!

Floid wracked his brain for any sort of information that he might have missed. Who would know about this Givalich? There has to be someone alive that can tell me about this damn dragon. Wouldn't Dragonnel know about him? I should ask him in our next lesson.

Floid perked up as he got an epiphany. He remembers that Reginald was here to look for something. Is it possible that he came here to look for Givalich? It is very possible! Reginald and the other Undead were traitors that betrayed the former demon king. They might be trying to raise their power again by finding the dragon of fire and making him their ally!

Floid decided that once he gets back to the castle he is going to get this information out of Reginald. It doesn't matter how much torture I have to use this time. I'll kill him and bring him back to life a thousand times if I have to. This bastard is going to talk.

Floid walked out of the study and he told Alucard to open a portal as they both walked in.
