The world of Ivalice. A place of mash ups, consisting of 7 continents. Each having their own culture and peoples. The people of these continents rarely gather. So why is it that a representative from each has come to destroy me?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Demon! Prepare for death! No Longer will you cause ruin and death to our lands!" (Heroes Leader)
"Eh, when did I ever do such a thing? Malthas, have I been sleep walking again?" (Me)
"Certaintly not, your highness" (Malthas)
"LIES! You send armies of monsters to attack our lands and people, how dare you deny that!" (Heroes Leader)
(Huh, do they not realize those armies attack here too? I just wipe them out or enslave them)
"Let it go Len, he's the demon lord, he's merely trying to confuse us" (Pretty Mage Hero)
"Agreed, let's end this quickly so we can finally be at ease" (Buff Hero)
"Fufufu, seems Mr. Demon Lord is trying to stall" (Slutty Hero?)
"Haaah... You guys, are you summoned heroes or something?" (Me)
"Thats right! So you know how to send us home!?!?" (Glasses Wearing Girl Hero)
"I suppose the people that sent you told you i'd know? Well thats a shame, you really are the cliche heroes from stories" (Me)
"Cliche? Do you know what we've been through? Nearly dying so many times, having to kill other humans, you have no right to call us cliche!" (Heroes Leader Len?)
"Riiight. I suppose you don't yell your attacks out loud or spout speeches about friendship either huh?" (Me)
"........" (All 7 Heroes)
"You probably didn't know that the armies of monsters attack here too, did you? Such a cliche group you are." (Me)
(Why am I even having this discussion? They're cliche, so they're just going to spout some cringe-worthy shit about friendship and attack, better prepare)
"Is that really true, I mean, it's been a few years since we got here, but according to all the anime and light novels, we're really cliche..." (Nerdy Looking Hero)
"Thats not true! How does he even know words like cliche to begin with?" (Tsundere Looking Hero)
"Eh, well thats thanks to Technologia. That place has made products based on things from your former world, i'm a huge fan" (Me)
"Is that true Ed? You were summoned there, right?" (Heroes Leader, Len?)
"He's lying, there were tv's and such, but I didn't see any DvD's Or Comics" (Nerdy Looking Hero Ed?)
"Did you guys not know about the Mana Net?" (Me)
"THE WHAT?" (The 7 Heroes)
"Yeah, we have an internet here, only accessible via Mana, try it out" (Me)
"............... Even so, you're the demon lord, and we've lost many friends on our journey here, everyone! Stop listening to him, Remember what happened when we fought The Illusionist! He could use our memories to make things just like this! We have to end this quickly!" (Heroes Leader Len?)
"Use the Bond we forged on our way here to break the illusion, we can do this, but only if we work together, believe in yourselves. We have chosen the right path" (Buff Hero)
"You just want to kill me quickly to surf the Mana Net, don't you?" (Me)
"........... Attack!" (All 7 Heroes)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The heroes began their attack. Or they would have if I hadn't prepared a Super Gravity spell in advance.
"Damn! He was stalling! I can't move!" (Len)
"Eh, I wasn't exactly stalling. I just assumed you'd spout something about friendship and then attack" (Me)
"LIAR! Ed, Van, Cindy, George, Stella, Anna, lend me your strength so we can do this together!" (Heroes Leader)
The 6 heroes began channeling their power into Len, I siphoned most of it during the process, but thats my little secret.
"With this, you're finished demon lord!" (Len)
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Go! Finish This! Defeat Him!" (6 Heroes)
Like that Len came flying at me, much faster than I thought but not exactly a problem. I matched him blow for blow, because I siphoned a good portion of the power, he getting pushed back. Suddenly, He dissapeared from my view, before I could proccess how he had already sent an enormous and potent slash of energy at me.
As I go to block it time seems to slow a bit as Len pulls even more power from his companions. I'm too far away to siphon it, this could be bad.
"With this, you're finished, thanks to our bond, I have enough power to rid you from the world!" (Len)
"Bond my ass! You're just siphoning power from your companions" (Me)
As I said that I knocked away the energy from before just as another more power one comes at me
"Stop" (Me)
The moment I said that time stopped, granted i'm also stopped, but my mind isn't. I like to use this power whenever I need to think in peace and deafening quiet.
(I could just kill them, but then the empires will probably really start a real war with me instead of the unified weaklings they sent this time... Next time they'll just get Technologia to nuke me or something. Thankfully I sent away all my generals and humanoid demons to my pocket dimension before they got here. So I could just leave.)
(Yeah, let's do that)
"Start, Teleport" (Me)
As soon as time started the teleport activated, sadly since it was cast forcefully, who knows where i'll end up?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heroes Leader Ren POV
"Haaah haaaah" (Me)
As I look around after using all my energy for that last attack I was elated to find no sign of the demon lord... However knowing him, he probably dodged, better keep my guard up.
"What wrong Len?" (Cindy)
"Nothing, i'm just not sure he's dead" (Me)
"It's alright, calm down. There's no sign of his mana anymore, and that attack was even stonger than when you took down that dragon, i'm not surprised theres nothing left of him" (Anna)
"Do you think anything he said was true? I mean that cliche about friendship and bonds made even me cringe..." (Ed)
"Haha, very funny... I don't know. I though we were in an illusion earlier, but now that we're not let's see if there's a Mana Net" (Me)
I checked, and there was. Fuck. So much time spent being bored, and this was here all along. If we're not rewarded for this i'm going to kill whoever should have told me about this but forgot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POV Back to Demon Lord Zed
"Sigh... I hope the cliche about the kingdoms hunting the heroes as traitors comes true. I also hope the Maoyuu Maou Yuusha anime cliche comes true and they all start killing each other..." (Me)
(What should I do now?)
End Of Chapter 1

Authors Notes:
I started writing this because I wanted to, I honestly have no idea where i'm going to go from here, thats the reason for all the tags. As you can see, Zed hates cliche's. But while writing this, I found everything can be considered cliche, I meant Maouyuu Maou Yuusha was about the demon lord and hero working together because without a common enemy (Demon Lord) Humanity would start to decline. And that <----------- Is considered cliche. I'll probably stick with less known cliches like that though. I'd love some ideas.
As for my other fiction, A New World? I'll Do What I want( http://royalroadl.com/fiction/4582 ) I've just been too lazy to write it, I know mostly where it's going story wise, just need to flesh it out.
Thanks for reading!
