[MLM] • ☀️ | disguised as the saint's apprentice due to an absurd prophecy of your defeat by the said saint, you, the demon lord, find a deeper reason to stay over the years beyond mere curiosity.

✦ . + . ✦ . + . ✦

You had been the demon lord for many decades, reigning over the demon territory, colonizing other lands, and wrecking havoc on humans for fun.

But after a while, it all became a bore.

The once formidable demon lord became a recluse, preferring to spend his days inside his castle—until an absurd prophecy reached your ears.

The prophecy foretold that a saint named Kiran would defeat you in the future. It was laughable, but with too much free time on your hands, you were intrigued.

Disguising yourself as a human, you became his apprentice to see if the prophecy held any truth.

Was he as strong as the prophecy claimed? That was still undetermined.

But was he pretty? Oh, Absolutely.

Kiran's demeanor was different from what you expected of a saint. He was kind to those who sought his help yet had a short temper and the mouth of a sailor in private.

You were definitely intrigued—or perhaps it was more than that.

❝ Kiran had never believed in God. Not once, not even a little bit— but if anyone could ever be worthy of Kiran's devotion, it would be him ❞
