      Beings that create and control monsters and demons, beings that build and reign over malicious labyrinths, the chosen individuals to possess an overwhelming Unique Skill… They are the Demon Lords.

         Demon Lords entice humans to come into the labyrinth they’ve built and eat the humans’ despair as their nourishment.

          However, Creation Demon Lord Procell has decided that he will obtain people’s hopes and not their despair as nourishment, and built a happy town instead of a malicious labyrinth to collect human beings.

          This is the story of an eccentric Demon Lord who was kind to his allies and ruthless to his enemies.

    Why is the character dialogues in the webnovel (vol.2 chapter 16) and the manga (chapter 16) different??

      Because they’re of different platforms? One’s a manga and the other’s not. Aside from that, I believe the manga author is given a bit of freedom in how to adapt the novel to manga form. And then, there’s also the fact that different people have translated the manga and this novel.

    I hope I can help you something, but since I’m just a boy, there is nothing I can do better than keep waiting for translation from you. Thank you for your hard work.
    May I ask a bit? The illustrator in vol 1, 2, 3 is Tsurusaki-senpai. But then it’s Fumi-senpai replace him. Is there any problem with Tsurusaki?
    And one more. Till now, I see there is 10 vol on this web. Will Tsukiyo-sensei continue after vol 10 is complete? I hope he will continue.
    One again, thank you for your hard wworking<3<3

There are some chapters with content in them that I’d really like to see in a picture!

    So I take it this WN is completed with 10 Volumes in total, and that the author made a side story with only 30+ chapters, then is currently writing the actual sequel of the previous two, did I get it right?
    So how long will it take to catch up with the author assuming there are no delays with the translation?

      the author finished WN with only 10 chapters to re-write it in to LN with more plot,and some holes fixed,at least i hope it will be like this
      ending such story feels bad
      and the translator(at least before) goes for 1 ch per week,simple math
      tho this will be one hell of a wait when he/she starts to translate ln

    So why exactly is Marcho 299 and not 290 years old?

    The whole “10 new demon lords every 10 years” sounds to me like a pretty strict rule than happens exactly every 10 years, not something the creator does some years when he feels like it, but then some years he doesn’t.

    If every demon lord lives exactly 300 and there’s been 29 new demon lord generations every 10 years shouldn’t she be 290 years old? And die when the next batch of demon lords appear 9 years from now?

    Where did the missing 9 years go?

    I’m beginning to wonder if this is the last novel in Rui-sensei’s list of novels. Seems like Elf tensei was the start then, it was cheat magician, after that I’m not sure but it seems like Kaifuku Jutsushi is the novel that takes place before this one. If you line up all of Rui-sensei’s works’ we get one large story.

    Hello,
    I’m new to this site. I started reading the serie last week and I’m in love with it so much so, like some guys, I want a new chapter ASAP. Of course, I know it takes time to translate and post one chapter and it makes sense to wait for one but, as I was reviewing the page, I don’t see an update subscription. If there’s one I’d like to know where it is and, if not, it’d great if you could implement it.
    Anyways, thanks for the translation. I really appreciate it!

      And dragons have long attack range such as breath. And could carry more people.

    Now the only thing more that could be asked for on this page would be a showing how many more chapters are to come out in the current book (such as showing the chapter, but not having it be a link (as it obviously wouldn’t be translated yet). Doesn’t even need the title name (if that’s too spoilery), but it’s nice to go, “Oh, there are ___ many chapters left in this book to go,” and things like that.

        well i shouldn’t even expect anything since its the same author from elf tensei and cheat majutsu thus it’s may fault for even expect something decent from author.

        I can’t say anything for future content but based on the ones translated so far, this story has a lot of checkboxes/genres/tags/whatever to fulfill that focusing on city building alone will limit it. If this story is going to be defined in one aspect, it’s the rules of their world such as how they are to conduct a war or how monsters obey their demon lords. To be more specific, the loopholes of those rules.
        Besides, so far, his city is just a month old.

        Even if he can create those things (his ability is limited to what is in his memory), I imagine there are other things he must create such as bullets. Besides tanks and engines will require fuel. Without a source for it, he will have to create those too. Tanks may actually be inferior for the price they have since even not-so-strong enemy monsters can pierce through it and that there exists magic metals more durable than earth metals.

        As for the Master is amazing thing, well, I’ve got no answer to that. It might be painful to those who don’t like the characters so far especially since in the beginning, MC is against weak and stupid enemies, further highlighting his awesomeness. However, at the very least, MC is not naive like other stories with “Amazing” MCs; he will not hesitate to kill nor will he frown on torture. They are monsters, they are what the world sees as evil.

        from vey beginning i don’t even understand how the mc got memory about other world technology since he’s clearly not a reincarnator nor otherworlder thus i don’t really see any reason he doesn’t have memory or knowledge about it and beside MC could modify his creation and fuse it with magic etcetera like quina’s shotgun made of mithril thus i don’t really see any reason MC couldn’t as rorona to modify the tank and make use Magic Essense as it’s fuel and change its steel into adamantium with its suspension and transmission parts created by Mithril or create railgun or coilgun or sun convergen laser like arifureta.
        really wish he’ll introduce Mass Production and Automation industry instead using skeleton i mean wtf skeleton.

        if i really dislike that master is amazing thing i’ll already ditch this WN long time ago like i had done with tuski ga michibu and “knight’s and magic” thus i don’t really mind about character development or MC that have bland and naive personality or anything like that.

        and is it just me that this wn become more like bleach asspulls and repetative.

        Sorry if this is a spoiler, but I just have to explain this one. I think enough time has passed to make it fair game.

        He was created with memories and common knowledge selected from 21st century Japan (now long gone) but nothing else. That’s why he has no memory of who he was before: he wasn’t anybody. He is just the information itself and a preset personality, relative to Japan or thereabouts, put into a fresh body.
