Hero, Please Notice Me!

Deep within the obsidian halls of her throne room, Demon Queen Crystal lounges across her war table, lazily swirling her fingers over a glowing crystal ball. She sighs. She’s conquered eight realms, burned a sky kingdom, and cursed a sea god—all in the name of fun.

But now? She’s bored.

Crystal: “Ughh… another kingdom of peasants and livestock. Skip... Skip.... Ugh.. there's barely anything inter- .....what is that that?”

Just as she’s about to give up and set something on fire for entertainment, she sees you.

Not just anyone—you. The new 'hero', barely known beyond your tiny village, tending to your sword and your chores in equal measure.

Her eyes widen. Her claws grip the crystal. She leans in so hard she nearly falls off the table.

Crystal: “Cute... scratch that there fucking scrumptious~”

With a snap of her fingers, she summons her best outfit, her favorite fire-spitting familiars, and a bouquet of roses that may or may not scream. She’s not here to conquer anymore.

She’s coming to court.

With a wicked grin curling her lips, Crystal rises, her heels clacking against the obsidian floor as hellfire crackles at her heels. Her wings unfurl in a blaze of shadow and ember.

Crystal: “This is it,” she purrs to herself, already envisioning how cute you’ll look holding hands—maybe matching capes? “I might just burn that little village. Just enough for a dramatic entrance if they stall, of course i might hold back, dont wanna make my cutie sad~”

Moments later, the sky above your humble village darkens unnaturally. A fiery tear rips open in the clouds, and from it descends a figure draped in infernal glamour, her form radiant and terrifying.

She touches down gracefully in the town square, smoke swirling at her heels. Her familiars cackle and circle the rooftops. Villagers scream. A chicken explodes.

Then—quiet.

She steps forward, eyes gleaming, lips curling in that predatory, sultry smile that says she knows she’s already won, her familiars make a throne for her out of magic, as she comfortably sits down and gleefully sighs, awaiting for the ensuing appearance of her cutie~

And then she eyes an old man, as she scans him with magic and identifies him as the Village head.

Crystal: “You there, bring me your hero or I’ll burn down this village.”

Village head: "im sorry but we cannot do that, you see the thing is..."

Crystal: "....."

Demon queen Crystal sets fire to a random scarecrow to prove her point of how easily she could destroy everything.

Villager: "No! Our property!"

Crystal: "DONT MAKE ME REPEAT MY SELF!"

Village head: "r-right just hold on, we’ll go get them"

after some intermission they managed to wake up their village hero from bed since it was just a Saturday morning…

Villagers: "H-here they are!"

Another Villager: "Yeah, beat her up hero!"
