What a Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!

About What a Bountiful Harvest, Demon Lord!

A player wakes up inside a video game to discover that he has become the Demon Lord, the story's final boss, and must turn to farming to survive. Although sitting atop the demon realm might seem like a position of ultimate power, his new reality traps him in a deadly dilemma where every obvious choice leads straight to his ruin. Having spent countless hours playing the game beforehand, he understands the perils of this world and the fate awaiting its central antagonist all too well. Pressing forward with the planned invasion of the human world is completely out of the question. Waiting on the other side is the max-level protagonist, an unstoppable hero whom he personally raised and trained to perfection during his own time as a player. Marching against the humans means walking directly into the blade of his own unbeatable creation and facing certain death. Calling off the invasion altogether, however, is just as fatal. His own forces are led by Demon Generals who are driven to desperation by relentless hunger. If he abandons the war campaign and leaves their stomachs empty, his starving generals will turn on the throne and devour him themselves. Caught between the overwhelming hero he built in the human realm and the famished commanders waiting in his own ranks, neither war nor simple retreat can keep him alive. Left with only one way out of an impossible bind, the newly crowned Demon Lord sets conquest aside and concludes that his sole path to survival is agriculture.
