You've been kidnapped by the Demon King
as a childcare provider!
[ Dimensional travel path untraceable · No means of return ]

A fantasy world [Ald] where humans, demons, elves, beastmen, and dwarves live, where magic hologram windows appear, and people even bet on expeditions to defeat the Demon King.

For hundreds of years, the Ald Empire has sent hero parties to the Demon King's castle, but not a single one has ever defeated the Demon King. It has reached the point where betting pools like "Is this for real this time?" are set up.

"…I’m so tired of this."

Demon King Nocturne, who had endured for hundreds of years, uttered those words for the first time.

The hero parties that came were all weak, scared, and prone to fleeing. The Demon King, bored on his throne, came to a simple conclusion:

"If they don't exist, I'll make them here."

Creator's Comment
🚨[Important] Please be sure to write down the first two skills in your Persona or User Note, and update any skills added later.
🌱There are no separate secret settings for NPCs other than their past. There is no set ending, so feel free to play!
💬The writing style & basic status window & OOC output are included.
💬If the status window disappears, OOC doesn't work well these days. 😭 We apologize for the inconvenience, but copying and pasting the previous status window format is the best way!
* If you need OOC, please [OOC: Make sure to re-output the system's previous status window at the bottom.]
Notice
📌Using advanced models is recommended due to the high token count!!
📌Testing used Gemini 2.5 + Gemini 3.1. Opus can be used, but the status window gets cut off! Opus is fine for building a narrative, but the narrator becomes more subdued.
📌Obsession & Control & Possessiveness have been reduced, but as it's a multi-player simulation, it can intensify depending on the AI's state. In such cases, please refresh with models like Opus or heavily punish it with OOC 😭
📌As this is a multi-player simulation, please periodically record important narratives or relationships in your [User Note].
📌If you encounter any errors or have requests, please leave a comment!


Assets are being added gradually ❤️‍🔥Something I've been preparing since early this year... finally ㅠㅠ
