Hello, dear readers!

I wanted to take a moment to explain a few things about [Advent of the Demon King] and provide some context to enhance your reading experience.

About the Story

At its core, [Advent of the Demon King] focuses on the hero’s journey—his struggles, losses, triumphs, companions, and his ultimate quest to defeat the Demon King.

The chapters you’re currently reading serve as a foundation for the main story.

Think of them as an extended prologue designed to set the stage for the epic tale to come.

Because of this, some parts might feel a little rushed, but rest assured, everything is building toward something greater.

About the Map

Let’s talk about the world of the story.

Below is a simple map (please excuse my drawing skills😁), but I’ll explain it in detail to help you visualize the setting.

The Human Kingdom and Its Surroundings

The human kingdom is surrounded by forests and mountains, creating both natural barriers and dangers.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The mountains are divided into two distinct regions:

- The Frozen Wasteland: An area so cold that survival is nearly impossible, home only to fearsome snow monsters.

- The Dwarven Mountains: A warmer, habitable region where the dwarves have established their kingdom.

The Forest

- Beyond the dwarven kingdom lies the elven forest, where the elves reside.

- Further east, the forest transitions into the orc lands, inhabited by the orcs.

- Beyond the orc territory lies a far more dangerous area where barbarians dwell.

- Traveling even farther east, the forest becomes completely perilous and is known as the Forest of Monsters.

- It is from this dreaded forest that the Demon King has emerged.

The Human Kingdom’s Internal Structure

The human kingdom is ruled by a king, who is supported by key figures:

1. Duke Driesell: The strongest warrior in the kingdom.

2. Marquis Ebran: The royal advisor and chief strategist.

3. Marquis Hector: Known as the “Wall of the North” for his role in defending against barbarian and monster invasions.

Other notable figures include:

- The Commander of the Royal Knights.

- The Master of the Mage Tower.

- The Pope of the Holy Temple.

Territories of the Kingdom

The kingdom is divided into several territories, each with specific roles:

1. Border Counties

These territories are the first line of defense against the Forest of Monsters. Each border county is governed by a Count.

2. Secondary Fortresses

Positioned behind the border counties, these territories have dual purposes:

- Fighting off enemies and monsters.

- Protecting vital trading hubs and mining territories.

3. Mining Territories

These regions supply the kingdom with ores, metals, and other valuable resources critical for the economy and warfare.

4. Trading Hubs

These are the lifelines of the kingdom, facilitating trade among various regions.

They also provide vital support to both the border counties and the northern territories, ensuring a steady flow of resources.

Each trading hub is equipped with warp portals, enabling quick transportation.

Warp Portals

Warp portals are a crucial part of the kingdom’s logistics, but their efficiency depends on two factors:

- Distance: The farther the destination, the fewer people the portal can transport at a time.

- Capacity: Shorter distances allow for larger groups to travel.

I hope this explanation helps you better understand the world and context of [Advent of the Demon King].
