The Dark Lord Awakens

My parents said I could be anything, so I became the Dark King. Now taking applications for minions, lovers, and a good therapist

They say getting hit by a truck is the gateway to another world. They’re not wrong. One minute I’m saving a kid from becoming roadkill, the next I’m waking up as the gorgeous and apparently homicidal demon king. Talk about a career change!

They say getting hit by a truck is the gateway to another world. They’re not wrong. One minute I’m saving a kid from becoming roadkill, the next I’m waking up as the gorgeous and apparently homicidal demon king. Talk about a career change!
I’m Lucien Noir, your friendly neighborhood dark lord. Armed with powerful magic and a hot-as-hell butler named Azrael, I’m inheriting a kingdom in crisis. Between terrified citizens, crumbling infrastructure, refugees fleeing from a shadow monster in the forest, and a magical interdimensional shopping assistant who judges my every purchase, I’ve got my hands full trying to modernize this medieval realm.
And Azrael? He’s the perfect butler—elegant, efficient, and absolutely devoted. He’s also a sadistic demon who gets way too excited about torturing anyone who looks at me wrong. His idea of “serving his master” gets more intense by the day, and that possessive gleam in his eyes when he watches me? Let’s just say maintaining professional boundaries is becoming… complicated.
Who knew my business degree would come in handy for rebuilding a dark kingdom? Though I’m pretty sure “How to Handle Your Increasingly Unhinged Butler’s Sexual Tension” wasn’t covered in any of my classes.
