And there it is

 

[Guroga]

So they invented a demon lord to rake in profits?

Guess they are the demon lord.

 

[VF89]

Wow, kinda like 'Attack on Titans' plot...

 

[france001]

Holy crap, this is such a great plot twist.

 

[Diamona]

The true enemy was corporate greed all along. LIBERATE THE DEMIS.

What you're telling me is that they managed to implement the "there is another" to not start a world wide war?

I hate those kinds of things. I'm an idealist. I would like for the world to become something like you see at the start "Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~" where they develop technology/magic that allows for battles to happen and wars to not have so much bloodshed.
But I am also a realist, where I can certainly see how some people wouldn't want others to have nice things or more nice things than themselves...

@Milanin
I think you misunderstand what happened.
This isn't a foreign force invading.
This isn't a fight for survival.
This isn't about bloodshed.

This is about how the guild and demons have already won and consolidated their power. Any adventurer is effectively a slave in the system, and the the "monsters" are off even worse. The reason killing one or two guildmasters is pointless is because society has already accepted and relies upon the existence of adventurers.

Kind of like how GATE: JSDF and Outbreak Company are two sides of the same coin (The sole difference is whether the initial diplomatic talks were successful), this is a scenario hinged on the truth of the Demon Lord being revealed. Demon King Castle: Black Mage is where the truth got revealed and wealth was shared, and this world is where the truth was hidden and adventurers and demihumans are exploited by the guildmasters and demons.

What you are calling the "There is another" was not done to prevent a war; It was done to quash any chance of ending the fighting.
It is when the adventurer's guild changed from a necessary service to a parasitic one.

 

[Milanin]

@Diamona
Though I agree with your point of it turning from necessary into a parasitic one, I don't agree that I misunderstood.
I still have the feeling that this all started out with the idealistic plan of "let's not war amongst ourselves" and turned to that.

But as I said, "... I am also a realist, where I can certainly see how some people wouldn't want others to have nice things or more nice things than themselves..." as in, the system collapsed on itself after "parasites" took over power and it has been fairy broken but functional.
Since I think everyone can agree, when people don't have a common enemy, they have themselves. In some cases, both at the same time.

I'd only had one potion for a single use of invisibility.

Shouldn't it be "I've"? Also, it sounds kinda weird, i think it would be better to word it like "one potion of invisibility, enough for a single use".

 

[Warmuffin]

The cake is a lie

 

[Nod]

@HYBRID_BEING actually a simple "I" is enough. "I've" and "I'd" are both for when the speaker is describing themselves taking an action in the past. But Only having 1 position left is a condition, not an action, therefore the word after "only" is the only one that needs to denote a time, I.e had, have, will have.

He can always be the demon king, freeing the slaves and shit.

 

[Akule]

@HYBRID_BEING - They currently have it as I had only had one potion for a single use of invisibility, but it wouldn't be I have only had one potion for a single use of invisibility.

It should be: I only had one potion for a single use of invisibility.

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

@Nod @Akule
Yeah, you are both right, it should be just "I" instead of "I'd" or "I've".

This is so sad. Alexa, play "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
