The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Currently, Rael and Eddie were sitting on their dorm sofa playing video games.

*Creak...creak...*

The door came and in came Edward with some blood on his hands ignoring both of his mates, acting like a total emo-edgy guy as if a protagonist from a revenge novel.

Eddie beamed when he saw Edward,

"Hey! Why don't you come and join us?"

"Thanks but I am fine, unlike the two of you I am not jobless." He said proudly looking at the two with disdain. 'Plus, both of you smell suspicious, I don't want to do anything related to you all!'

"Job?" Rael asked as his ears got perked without looking at him. His entire concentration was on the game he was playing.

"Yes, for school points. You only get 10.000 points at the beginning of the year after that you have to earn your points yourself, this is to teach all the students how money works." He spoke still looking at him with disdain and a little curiosity. He didn't know why but Rael would always give him bad vibes.

"What job is it?" Rael was slightly interested, what job would an arrogant system holder take?

"It's eradicating sinning people, cleaning up some trashes." He said in a low voice.

The corner of Rael's lips couldn't help but twitch, why did these guys always have to be so edgy, even though Rael himself would spout chuuni lines but he would always do that for fun, to feel like a true protagonist.

But these guys were serious and trying to act badass all the time!!

"Are there any easier ways to earn the points?" Rael asked the two dorm mates of his.

Both of them looked at each other and said, "Ummm.. you can maybe gamble? Wait aren't you a musician, you can maybe busk around or something?" Eddie said before pondering.

"Hmm.. that sounds plausible, I can maybe do that but I am too lazy to go and stand for hours..." Rael replied while shrugging.

Edward who was listening to their conversation chimed in.

"You can maybe go and play 'Spar World, now if you excuse me then I have to go and wash my hands." He quickly went into the bathroom after saying his bit.

'He likes the bathroom too much!!'

Rael turned to look at Eddie and asked him with an arched eyebrow.

"Spar World?"

Eddie sighed, "Sometimes I really feel that you really have been living under a rock, 'Spar World' is a virtual platform game, it is also used in the military, basically, you can train, fight with other people but in a virtual world instead of the real one."

Rael formed an 'O' upon his face, "How am I supposed to make money out of it?"

"You can't not unless you become a professional and reputed popular player, it depends on your audience which joins to see your battles. The more people the more money, they can also donate money. Hence you need to be a popular player first." Eddie patiently explained.

"That's kind of cool...." He was genuinely interested, in his life as a human he had played many different games because they were slightly similar to his homeworld.

Rael got up from his bed and threw the console on the bed and looked at the dumbfounded Eddie.

"What are you waiting for? You are gonna guide me."

He felt wronged and wanted to revolt but he ultimately sighed giving up, Rael was the leader, being an SSS rank.

"Let's go."

Finally, after a lot of walking, Rael and Eddie reached the arcade room. It was quite normal, identical to the ones in the human world but only a thousand times larger.

When they reached the entrance, the person in charge showed them the swiping machine.

"We have to pay to enter?" Rael asked the man with evident surprise on his face.

The man said in an annoyed tone, "Yes.. are you, two newbies?"

Both of them looked at each other and reluctantly nodded towards him.

He sighed and started to give us offers.

"Normal rate every day: 100 school points

If you are in any honorary service for the school then 20 school points... and I reckon anyone of you is in the student council or the discipline board, so pay up."

He shamelessly stretched his hand forward doing the 'pay fast I am busy' gesture.

Rael just showed his SSS rank ID, bitch slapping the guy in the face. His ID basically made him a VIP in the entire education country.

The interior of the arcade was very exquisite. There was no television, no bookshelf, instead, there were sleeping pods everywhere, arranged around the bespoke holographic map of the school.

There were pictures with many people in suits and celebrities of the demon realm across the walls. Any one of them wouldn't look out of place. The floor was highly polished wood, dark and free of either dust or clutter.

We headed towards a pod, Eddie directed him to sleep in one of them.

"Rest in the pod, you will automatically connect with the platform interface and then we can play." He said.

"You already have an account?" Rael asked him.

He rolled his eyes and replied, "Yes."

"Oh, what's the name?"

"Umm....."

"What?"

"It's kind of embarrassing..." He blushed and started to fiddle with his fingers.

"What is it?" Rael said getting a bit impatient.

"Horny Doctor..."

Rael coughed a bit before replying, "Nice name, you are horny all the time anyway."

He was used to degenerating and shameless names, in his past life Rael himself used weird nicknames on discord servers.

"Ok, honestly I don't care about your kinks, if you ask me those doctors ain't bad they are kinda hot..." Rael said feeling a bit awkward.

"I know right!!!!" He nodded his head vigorously. "I am happy I chose to make you my rival!"

Rael chuckled awkwardly to the beaming with passion Eddie.

"Anyway I am entering the pod, we will meet in the virtual sparring platform." He informed Eddie.

"Ok, don't forget to connect to the School Server, you will have to pay a lot for the other services." Eddie notified Rael.

He nodded and got inside his pod and closed it. It was utterly black, but then suddenly white light erupted and started to flash again and again.

'They should give elipsy warnings!'

Slowly Rael's eyes closed as his mind became one with the pod.

He opened his eyes and found himself somewhere else entirely.

It was a vast blue plain which stretched to infinity and back.

*cough*

A cough interrupted him from his thoughts, he looked in the direction of the coughs and saw an elegant-looking woman, one without breasts.

'Trap? No this must be for gender equality maybe...'

The trap was wearing a womanly robe, its hair flowing downwards. He had white smooth skin and green eyes.

He gestured something and a floating screen appeared in front of me.

He then spoke in a robotic voice, "Fill it up."

[ Username: ___________ ]

He started to ponder hard, 'What should I keep my username, Eddie kept it as Horny Doctor, should I keep something like that? No no... that would be weird I think...'

After a few minutes of intense contemplating, Rael finally came to a decision and typed his username.

'I'll just follow my dao I guess.'

[ Username: Stepfather ]

He typed a totally random username, which came to his mind. Writing fairly king would be cringe although this username was also cringing, he wanted to see the reaction of his opponents.

The A.I also double-checked appearing a bit shocked.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." He replied with resolution.

"Ok then, your username has been verified please allow the pod to do a body check so you can use all your abilities to the full, no need to worry as the information won't be stored anywhere." The A.I robotically.

'That sound all the more suspicious....'

"Yes!"

"Stepfather please choose your avatar."

After a lot of time, Rael chose the perfect avatar for himself.

"Alright Stepfather, your body has been recognized please choose which platform you want to enter, training or Spar World?"

[ Training Room / Spar World.]

"Spar World."

"Server?"

[Public/ Connected Server ( School Server)/ University Server]

"Connected server!"

"Your choices have been recorded, thank you for waiting." The A.I moved his hands and clapped in the sky.

Suddenly a different screen came shoving in my face as the scenery changed to become a blurred one.

[Stepfather vs MforRuru]

The battleground was that of a normal sandy plain, the pitch-white sky was a couple of hundred kilometers away, but it was as if it was right before their eyes.

The region that was covered by the sand was like a black hole that was carved into the world.

Two figures were standing in front of each other, 'MforRuru', a handsome man with wavy black hair and black eyes, his skin so very smooth. It seemed like as if his avatar was connected to his original body appearance.

On the other hand, on Rael's side was an old man wearing a robe and in his hands a sword. He had chosen his avatar based on Gandalf.

M for Ruru's POV-

I was very tired today because it was the first day of the new term plus there had been new students like every year.

After a tiresome day, virtual games are indeed necessary to relieve stress.

Usually, I would watch live streams of virtual idols but today, I felt like playing SparWorld.

There were many arcades in the school, some people could even buy their personal pod, most people had their personal pod including me.

Hopping into the pod, like always I connected to the school's personal server.

My matching started, and I found myself fighting a guy called 'Stepfather'. I honestly felt a bit offended but I ignored it.

My single mom would never cheat on my dead father.

What startled me more was that the guy looked like an old man... with a long beard.

[Match starting in 3...2...1....0 start!]

I quickly rushed towards him but I noticed that he suddenly disappeared from his place.

Huh? Where did Stepfather go?

Before I knew it my hp gauge instantly drained from full to absolute zero.

What the fuck just happened?!

Before I knew it, I was already out of the battle. I quickly clicked on the spectate option on the screen.

I had to know what just happened!

I just couldn't stand still, was he cheating? I have never heard about anyone disappearing and the match finishing in just a second.

So in the end I decided to spectate his upcoming battles.

[Spectators (1)]

First, it could be a newbie as I had never heard about such an op player.

Second, it could be a veteran pro who has made a new acc and is trolling everyone.

Third, he could be a cheater which should have low chances because it is very hard to cheat, still, it is not impossible because even impossible has possible.

Oh, he finally started matching!

[MySisterButtfingersMe vs Stepfather]

This time I kept my eyes opened the entire time, not at all ready to blink. I will see if he is cheating or not.

Then it happened!

It fucking happened once again!

Even though I am spectating from a third-person view I still couldn't see what he did!

Stepfather simply disappeared in thin air and chopped the opponent's head. Is he moving fast or something?

His real body must be very strong.

Then I noticed that the spectator count had increased.

[Spectators (2)]

'MySisterButtfingersMe' must also be having the same idea, I am no longer the only spectator.

~

As they kept on spectating their shock grew more and more.

Is he a cheater?

Rael was on a goddamn streak!

[Spectators (13)]

'As I thought, my Ghost Phatasm techniques still work in the virtual world, it must be because our minds are connected to the device.'

At that moment Rael checked his spectators, "Whoa it has already become 13 spectators. Is that good? I will ask Eddie later."

With each battle won Rael also gained virtual bucks. The currency of the virtual platform. At the moment he had about 1350 Vbucks.

"Now what should I do with these?"

After searching the interference he stumbled upon the betting icon.

"I will check it out later, I won't stop matching until I get a perfect 1500." Rael would get tipsy and annoyed when a number was not in 0s or 5s, the same when any door was open.

He clicked on the battle icon.

[Matching....matching... matched... in 3...2...1..]

[Stepfather vs DeepFriedAir]

In front of Rael was a green-haired youth with green eyes and a slender muscular body.

[Match begins in 3...2...1... start!]

~

As soon as the countdown was finished I turned invisible, using ghost phantasm to creep behind him.

But it turned out that he used an AOE-based attack, destroying everything in front.

My body appeared, I knew that my spectators must have been feeling quite shocked at the moment but I didn't care. This was going to be quite an entertaining match.

If I was in the real world then I would have been thoroughly exhausted because of not being able to use Ghost Phantasm due to the strain it gives on the mind and body.

I was currently in the virtual world, I can use it infinitely. I am basically a one-man massacre.

I kept on using my Ghost Phantasm coupled with my elegant sword techniques, jumping around as if I was flying... it was an art.

Elegance in every move.

I swiftly came near DeepFriedAir and baited him, to come forward. My kitting skills were basically godly.

He took the bait, luring him in a driven corner I unleashed my blade, killing him in the virtual world.

That was quite a refreshing and nice battle now.

I quickly exited the platform, leaving my spectators absolutely dumbfounded.

Then I checked the betting icon and saw that there were many things I could bet on. I betted all my money on a blackjack game losing all of my Vbucks.

Sighs... looks like I am destined to be bad at gambling forever.

~

Meanwhile, DeepFriedAir, a pro player, was having conflicted feelings.

Did I just lose?

How?

Wait I saw his winning streak was 13.... as a player in the Top 1 of the entire Country of Education and holding rank 500 as a World Rank, I shouldn't have lost unless it was one of the higher players playing and trying to troll.

Thankfully I recorded the entire battle, keeping my screen recording switched on when I saw his streak.

Should I upload it on the Virtual Video Sharing Platform?

~

Unbeknownst to Rael, his video was going viral in the entire forum and happened to stumble across a member of the Disciplinary Committee in charge of the entire Balia Country which included of important powerful and talented individuals from across all the schools, their job was to ensure law and order

Rael had previously breached the laws by killing someone in broad daylight and oh my, it wasn't going to stop any time soon.
