The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

Scholar's Mate

He died. He awoke. And then time itself hurled him forward, reborn as Luna. Thus begins a second life not of freedom, but of binding. Luna is tethered to a system older than gods, forced to move within the unyielding grammar of existence. Collars punish defiance, chains hum with law, yet none of it strips her will. Instead, it reshapes her into paradox: prisoner and sovereign, vessel and wielder, companion to something vast and unseen. The scholars once spoke of a checkmate, the scholar’s mate. But in Luna the metaphor collapses. She is not a piece on the board but bound to the board itself, mate to the container of learning, shaping and being shaped by a concept beyond comprehension. Empires have risen and vanished in the centuries stolen from her. The person she once was lingers only as a shadow, while Luna grows into something else entirely — not merely a soul reborn, but a clause in the hidden syntax of reality, a law given flesh. Her tale is not of victories but of unraveling: identity dissolving into archetype, freedom blurring with fate, and the unsettling truth that even the so-called authors of her story may be prisoners of the same relentless grammar that governs her. --- Beings beyond tales, above authors of stories and lore — concepts and rules that even writers must acknowledge and obey in the fabrication of their own reality. And beyond even that — beyond story, beyond book, beyond library — they watch. Not gods. Not readers. Not authors of any story told or known. But the unborn ones, the very concepts upon which all things rest, gazing coldly into the weave of existence itself.
