Luthor: Hey, having a school shooter is already controversial enough — if we bring Hitler, then the novel won't make it.
Rick: Valid. Then who is this guy?
Luthor: He was the military general of Germania during the Fourth World War. Alfread Butler.
Tokira: Lame.
Rick: So, he's from Goatham?
Akim: What? Goatman is German? This is bad news.
Sanjay: So no one cares that there's a Fourth World War?
Hassa: They're American, Russian, and Japanese. Like hell they'd care. Probably, they're the ones who started it.
Sanjay: True. I hope they drop a nuke on my home.
Alfread appears: a middle-aged man in a black military uniform with a square mustache.
Alfread:Wo bin ich? Bin ich gestorben? Verdammt, ich hätte diese Regenbogen-Bastarde fast ausgelöscht.
Sanjay: What the hell? This guy is fire.
Rick: What? What is he saying?
Luthor: Wait, let me fix it...
Sanjay: Seems like he followed his ancestor and led a genocide against rainbows.
Rick, Akim, Tokira, Hassa: You have our respect.
Luthor: Now it's all set. Welcome, Alfread Butler.
Alfread: Who are you...? Wait — are you the legendary General Red Skull who fought Captain America?! Oh my god... I can't believe I met this legend. My death was not in vain!
The five burst out laughing.
Rick: Hey, I like this guy.
Luthor (dumbfounded): Now I understand how Banos felt...
Sanjay: So, if he's from Goatham, how does he know Captain America?
Luthor: Silence.
Luthor: Listen, Alfread. I am Luthor von Barbaros, the King of Demons in the world of Nars. I want you to be my Second Division Commander. And lead the 10,000 troops .
Alfread: I will do anything that ancestor Red Skull says.
Sanjay (cracking): This dude is hella funny.
Luthor: I just told you my name... forget it. Just call me "Lord."
Alfread: Yes, Lord.
Rick: Hey, wait. Our First Division has only 190 demons. Why does the Second Division get 10,000?
Luthor: First Division is an elite force for special operations. Second Division is infantry.
Alfread: Lord, can I go see the barracks of our troops?
Luthor: Yes. Go ask the demons outside to lead you to Red Mountain.
Rick: Hey — where are those 10,000 troops you mentioned? I've never seen that many demons since I came here.
Luthor: That's because… I'm about to resurrect them.
A huge storm of mana erupts from Luthor's body, flooding the demon cave and spreading across the demon forest. 10,000 demons are resurrected — a sign that the world is heading toward major turmoil.
Meanwhile… in a cathedral in Leiren, capital of the Holy Empire:
A man in full white runs through the hallway like a madman.
Man: Cardinal! Cardinal! We have a huge problem! Cardinal, huhuhu—
Cardinal Harris: Father Jacob, calm down. Explain properly.
Jacob: Our mana surveillance crystal detected a huge surge of dark mana from Demon Valley. We suspect the Demon King has begun resurrecting his troops.
Harris: That's impossible, Father. We have more than 11 months left before the seal weakens. This is too early... We must inform the Pope immediately.
In the Pope's chamber:
Pope: No need to panic, Cardinal Harris.Tell the Five Emperors to hasten the Summoning of Heroes.Inform Duke Lawrence to begin preparing their training.Place the Holy Knights on high alert and move them toward the border.
Now — who is the lord currently guarding the Demon Valley?
Cardinal: It's the Viscount of Derian.
Pope: Tell him to dispatch a group of adventurers to scout.Instruct his people to avoid venturing beyond the border.Keep his troops on maximum alert.Send the same orders to all lords of regions surrounding Demon Valley.
Harris: Yes, Your Holiness.
TEJAS EMPIRE (LARGEST)
Emperor Heyma Tejas (shouting):"Call all the ministers! Prohibit citizens from leaving the empire!Start mobilizing the army — and summon the Archmage Magnus!"
NARTAMAN EMPIRE (OLDEST)
Emperor Turu Sarkan:"Mobilize the imperial army.Prepare for the summoning ritual — right now."
BRUNORIAN EMPIRE (STRONGEST)
Emperor Gazle Brunorian:"The 17 Dukes of Brunoria — begin preparations for war."
MYSLE EMPIRE (RICHEST)
Emperor Denzle Mysle:"Secure all supplies. Gather the imperial mages.Prepare the summoning ritual — war is on the horizon."
HOLY GRACIAN EMPIRE
Holy Emperor Julious Gracias:"Declare the Holy War."
The Five Great Human Empires began moving —all from a single surge of mana released by Luthor.
That's the power of the Demon King.
DEMON CAVE
Rick:"Hey! You just let that Alfread guy go check on the demons —without skills or anything? Won't he get killed by the demons?!"
Luthor:"When I summoned you, it was just a trial.That's why you didn't get the full transmigration effect.But I've perfected the summoning technique since then.Now, everyone after you gets an isekai bonus."
Rick:"The f— I thought you just gave 'em mana!"
Tokira:"Ha! Dumbass."
Rick (middle finger):"Whatever. So what did this guy get?"
Luthor:"The mana of a Second Division commander Kyra is around 17,000 JIL.The strongest ex-commander, Banos, only had 22,000 JIL.But this Alfread guy... he had 71,000 JIL when I summoned him."
That's a quarter of the entire Second Division's total mana.
Rick:"Holy f***. He could wipe their asses just by punching!"
Akim:"I want to know more about Senior."
Tokira:"I always called him Alfread. Who the hell is Adolf?"
Sanjay:"I can hide."
Hassa:"I want to fight."
Rick:"I don't care. I've got a cheat skill, after all."
Luthor (grumbling):"[...kids...]"
DEMON VALLEY
10,000 demons were rampaging through the land —ripping out the trees of the Demon Forest to create an open plain.
Among them towered a massive one-eyed demon.
Leading them was...
Kyra — former commander of the Second Division.A blue-skinned demon with four arms, long black hair, and a towering 9'2" stature.Current mana: 17,000 JIL.He commanded 20 captains, three of which stood out as the strongest:
Yora – A terrifying red-skinned demon with a single, massive eye.Jet-black hair covered most of their face, revealing only the eye.Specializes in fire magic.→ 11,000 JIL, 6'3"
Golton – A giant, rotund demon with shell-like scales on his back.Can curl into a ball and launch himself like a cannonball.→ 6,000 JIL, 10'4"
Pik – A tall, headless black demon with blades for palms.→ 9,000 JIL, 13'7"
Suddenly, a presence shook them. No— a danger.Every demon's instinct flared with warning.
A figure was walking calmly toward them through the valley.
Kyra:"...A human."
Golton:"Why is a human vermin walking fearlessly in our domain?!"
Kyra (narrowing eyes):"Wait... He's dangerous.His mana... it's enormous. The strongest human I've seen since the Dancing Spear Hero."
Alfread (smirking):"Hoho... This place is quite lively.Cleaning the forest to make a base, huh?You lot have more discipline than I expected from demons.I'm satisfied."
In an instant, Kyra and all 20 captains leapt into the air—landing right in front of Alfread.
Even though they sensed his power, there wasn't a shred of hesitation.The Second Division is a force forged in the crucible of desperation—trained to charge toward death if ordered.
Their towering figures dwarfed the lone human standing before them.
Alfread (calmly):"That's not how you welcome a superior.But I'll overlook it.A fearless force that charges into death at command...That's the most ideal unit for any commander.
I like it."
Kyra:"I agree.But why are you here in demon territory?And what do you mean by superior? Are you claiming to be on our side?"
Alfread:"You demons are surprisingly intelligent.I thought you were just mindless brutes.Yes, I was summoned by Lord Luthor.He's appointed me to lead the Second Division in the upcoming war against humanity."
Kyra (bowing slightly):"Welcome, Commander. What shall we call you?"
Alfread:"Alfread."
Golton (grumbling):"Commander, you believe that crap?"
Kyra (sharply):"Use your head and your eyes once in a while.There's a faint trace of Lord Luthor's aura in his mana.And a human this strong doesn't need to talk —he could've just wiped us out and left."
Alfread:"I like you, smart demon.You're my Vice Commander now."
Yora:SKEEEEEEEEEEECK.
Kyra (nodding):"Thanks, Yora."
Alfread (raising an eyebrow):"Is it female?"
Kyra:"It's genderless.Their tribe's a little... complex."
Alfread:"You guys have tribes?"
Kyra:"Not all of us, but many pre-historic demons with awakened bloodlines do."
Alfread:"What about you?"
Kyra:"I'm from the Four-Armed Demon Tribe.I was kicked out. Still made it to the top, though."
Alfread:"Where's the rest of your tribe?"
Kyra:"They're all part of the 4th Infantry Division.My father is their commander."
Alfread (grinning):"Interesting.I look forward to the resurrection of the Fourth Division."
MEANWHILE — DEMON CAVE
Luthor (watching through the magic mirror):"Hmm… Impressive."
Rick:"Yeah, he got them to obey him without even a fight."
Tokira:"He's not a World War veteran for nothing."
Akim:"Senior is amazing."
Luthor:"Anyway... where are you planning to execute your presentation?"
Rick:"In the Derian Viscounty, on the border of the Mysle Empire."
Sanjay:"And lately, the knights and adventurers from Derian have been on the move.I guess they've caught wind of your return."
Luthor (smirking):"Hohoho... this will be amusing."
Derian Viscounty is a large border town near the edge of the Mysle Empire, right next to the Demon Valley. The whole place feels tense but busy. People are still going about their day — shops are open, markets are loud, blacksmiths are working, and adventurers keep coming in and out — but there's this clear sense something's coming.
The buildings are made from stone and wood, old-school medieval style. Narrow streets, horses, wagons, and stalls selling bread, meat, tools, and a few magical items. Guards walk in groups, clearly on edge. They're more alert than usual, and there are way more of them than normal.
The town square is the busiest area — people trading, arguing, soldiers practicing drills. You've got kids running around, farmers bringing in goods, and travelers passing through. You'll hear the church bell or a town crier every now and then shouting empire orders or warnings.
At one end of the town is the Viscount's estate — big stone place with banners, guarded 24/7.
INT. TAVERN – DERIAN VISCOUNTY –SUNSET
A crowded, rowdy tavern filled with clinking mugs, roaring laughter, and the scent of roasted meat and spilled ale. The place is packed with adventurers from all around. Most tables are full — hardened warriors, robed mages, beastfolk, mercenaries — all drinking, eating, and swapping stories.
At a corner table:
Adventurer 1 (mid-30s, scar across cheek):"I'm not some big-shot hero, but if I'm going to die anyway — I'd rather fall fighting demons than wasting away chasing coin."
Adventurer 2 (grizzled, slightly drunk):"Damn right. We've spent years fighting like dogs — chasing bounties, diving dungeons for scraps. But now that a holy war's on the horizon... it's like that kid inside me, the one who wanted to be a real adventurer, woke up again."
Adventurer 1 (nodding, looks around):"Look around you. It's not just us. Every fighter, thief, and wannabe hero from the surrounding regions is flocking here. Derian's become the frontline between the human world and the demon domain."
The tavern door creaks open. A new group enters — five young adventurers, still fresh-faced but eager.
Lively Young Man (early 20s, leather armor, energetic):"Drinks and food for five!"
Waitress (calling out as she moves between tables):"Food and drinks for five! Coming up!"
Young Man (looking around with wide eyes, grinning):"So this is Derian, huh? Just like the the White Umbrella guy said
Above the church bell tower, a young man in full red and white stands silently. He's wearing a mask and holding a closed white umbrella, watching the bustling town below.
White Umbrella:"Now both sides are set. Our first battle of the Great Holy-Demonic War will begin soon."
sun set's as a group of adventures venture past the walls into the demon domain
