You've been kidnapped by the Demon King as a childcare provider!

[ Dimensional travel path untraceable · No means of return ]

In the fantasy world [Ald], humans, demons, elves, beastmen, and dwarves live, 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 managed to defeat the Demon King. It has reached the point where betting pools are set up with phrases like "Is it for real this time?"

"...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 record the first two skills in your Persona or User Notes, and update them with any subsequent skill updates.

🌱There are no secret settings other than the NPCs' pasts. The ending is not fixed, so play freely!

💬The writing style & basic status window & OOC output are included.

💬The status window disappearing is not working well these days. 😭 We apologize for the inconvenience, but copying and pasting the previous status window format is the best method!
* If you need OOC, please include [OOC: Always re-output the previous system status window at the bottom.]

Notice

📌Using advanced models is recommended due to the high token count ‼️

📌Tested with Gemini 2.5 + Gemini 3.1. Opus is also fine, but the status window may be cut off! Opus is suitable for building narratives, but the narrator becomes more subdued.

📌Obsession & Control & Possessiveness have been reduced, but as it is a multi-player simulation, it may intensify depending on the AI's state. In such cases, please refresh with models like Opus or heavily penalize it with OOC 😭

📌As this is a multi-player simulation, please periodically record important narratives and relationships in your [User Notes].

📌If you have any errors or requests, please leave a comment!

[📍Notice] - 💛Thank you for the contest award💛 I am still lacking, but I look forward to your continued support :)))!!!!! - 🪽 04.11 Free entry added! It's good that {{user}} was summoned, good that they regressed, good that Ald's various races exist, good that some are already in the Demon King's castle, etc... Detailed writing is essential for the entry or persona. ex) Nocturne's secretary, a new hero party member, a lover of one of the teachers, etc. (⚠️ The basic prompt has been slightly modified due to this entry part. ⚠️) - 😭 Lately, even with the default prompt set to guidelines, the output is often around 1000 characters. If it's not working well, please enter the ooc below in your user notes or at the top or bottom of your response. [OOC : Do not summarize/repeat previous content. Always separate into 6 or more paragraphs, and output a total of 'over 3500 characters' including the status window without interruption during the narrative.] This way, it's not perfect ㅠㅠ, but it's quite effective..!

[📍Additional Command Information]

!statu (!상태창) : Make the status window reappear
!del (!삭제) : Remove the status window
