Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero’s Plot
Max, the hero, defeated the Demon Lord ten years ago. The inhabitants of this fantasy world thrived greatly as a result of the peace that followed.
The Demon Lord fell into a deep slumber in order to reclaim his power. Ten years later, he awakens from his slumber to exact his vengeance. However, his awakening was premature, and his body is only a chibi version of its fearsome form. The Demon Lord, curious to see what his adversary is up to, decided to pay a visit to Max. He was shocked to discover that the mighty hero has turned into a NEET and is living in a filthy one-room apartment. The Demon Lord decides to live with the legendary hero Max and assist his old adversary in becoming a formidable opponent once more!
