“So, what’s my ability then?”

I spat out with all the negativity in me. In response, the woman in front of me calmly replied, “Gacha, Demon King Karos.”

“Gacha. Alright, Gacha!”

Gacha! I couldn’t hold back and slammed the table. With a loud thud, a sharp pain shot through my hand. And that made me even angrier.

“This can’t be! I just became a Demon King! Gacha? No abilities at all! Gacha! Give me something else!”

There wasn’t even a body enhancement like they give to dogs or cows!

How am I supposed to conquer the world with this!

But my secretary, Lillis, said calmly,

“I’m sorry. Since the Great Demon King has granted you this ability, it is difficult to provide another ability. You can receive other abilities by conquering the world and earning points, but currently, you have no points…”

“Shut up! I just became a Demon King today! There’s no way this can be it! No, even more than that, conquering the world with this is the problem! The fearsome ability of the Demon King who conquered the world was ‘Gacha’! Does that make any sense? I should be lucky if the kids don’t laugh at me! Let’s do it properly. Call out the Great Demon King!”

I used to shout praises to the Great Demon King every day, but this time, curses came out involuntarily.

“Why give such an ability!”

“The Great Demon King has recently become addicted to a game from another world and liked its system…”

“For that reason!”

They decided the Demon King’s ability like this! After grumbling for a while, my anger gradually subsided. No, my hand was hurting more and more. Did I hit too hard? I massaged my hand.

“…Alright, Gacha. I’ve received it, so there’s nothing I can do. In a way, it might turn out to be a quite useful ability.”

“That’s a great thought.”

Great? I barely managed to keep from saying that out loud. Great? Even if I received this ability for four years, would it still be great? I wanted to use the ability transfer to forcefully hand it over.

“…Just give me the basic ability for now. Anything will do.”

“Yes, right away.”

As she said that, she took out a small box from her bosom. What’s that?

“What is it?”

“It’s a Gacha box.”

“…”

Calm down. Breathe. It would be troublesome if I killed her. She’s the only contact here. Let’s wait patiently until I become strong enough. And then, kill her.

“…Alright, what’s this Gacha box?”

“It’s for summoning subordinates, what else would it be?”

She replied with a smug look, and I wanted to strangle her. It’s okay. The devil will reach enlightenment after three times of patience. Endure it. Endure.

“…Bring it.”

“Yes.”

One, two, three… There were a total of ten. Alright. My cute subordinates are coming out here. With trembling hands, I picked one up and pressed the button. A bright light blinded me, and soon, a monster appeared before my eyes. I stared blankly and opened my mouth.

“Hey.”

“Yes.”

“This is a basic ability, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Alright. Basic ability. Like a blazing crimson fire that burns everything, or a gigantic mobile fortress, or receiving the mightiest dragon, that kind of ability.”

“Yes.”

I lifted the chair and threw it. Lillis dodged it swiftly. And then, she calmly said, “The chair costs 12 gold.” I couldn’t take it anymore and rushed towards her.

Die, you damn thing!

“But does a slime even make sense!”

The slime made a cute “kyu” sound and shrank down. Knock it off! Don’t pretend to be cute!

“What is this! Let’s see who dies first, you or me! What am I supposed to do with this!”

“…Calm down.”

Thud.

She pushed me lightly and pushed me away. But it wasn’t light for me.

“Ouch!”

Thud.

What, what’s going on! I rolled on the ground and looked at Lillis in shock. She casually brushed her hands.

“I have above-average strength. Please don’t touch me lightly.”

Am I being threatened by my secretary? As a Demon King?

“Oh my. Unbelievable! The secretary is threatening the Demon King! What is this!”

Feeling unfairly treated, I pounded the ground and sobbed. After crying for a while, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

“Please don’t be like this. There are still nine Gacha boxes left.”

“Kyuu…”

And on the opposite side, I felt a sticky sensation. When I turned my head, it was a slime. It looked at me pitifully, and tears welled up as I watched.

“What am I supposed to do with this…”

What am I supposed to do with a slime like this? Maybe I should just become a farmer. If I pour magic on crops, maybe someday everyone in the world will be engulfed by magic?

While escaping reality like that, Lillis spoke slowly.

“This is Gacha. It literally means that all monsters come out. This time, you got a slime due to bad luck, but next time, a dragon might come out.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Alright, then I’ll give it a try. This time, I pressed the button repeatedly one after another. A bright light filled the room and disappeared after a while.

And there were nine slimes and one young succubus girl lying there.

“…Succubus?”

“Congratulations.”

“Yeah, it’s not a slime. Even though she’s an underage succubus who hasn’t even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet… Damn it!”

I picked up the chair again and threw it.

**** ****

Demon King.

Seventy-two chosen demons were tasked with annihilating the human world. It was the very dream that all demons longed for.

Karos was extremely delighted. Chosen as a Demon King! He never expected it since he had caused such a mess at the academy graduation. It felt like hearing that the lottery ticket he had stuck in his pocket had won the jackpot.

Karos stood in front of the Demon King’s castle, enjoying the envious glances of his peers. And he shivered lightly.

A castle that stretched endlessly with a black decoration.

This is the castle of the Great Demon King! I’ll be able to have a castle like this soon too! He followed the guide, grinning from ear to ear, as they entered a massive room.

“So, what’s your name?”

The Great Demon King’s appearance was truly that of an exemplary Demon King. Giant red horns protruded from both sides of her head, a body that was two to three times the size of an ordinary demon, and an imposing presence. Karos was deeply impressed.
