The LitRPG bestseller releasing in a stunning new deluxe hardcover edition, now with a new Afterword.
How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps is an endlessly inventive and entertaining love letter to all of us underdogs who spent countless hours with a game controller in hand, daydreaming about how we would save the realm. Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon Kings hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. Theres just one slight problem. Its only been twenty-three years since the Demon Kings latest rise, and this time, hes already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Heros return, there may be no world left for him to save.
And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A ten-step plan.
Shell find a way to obtain the Heros legendary sword. Shell earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. Shell travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if shes truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.
