DEMON LORD 2099

Long ago, Demon Lord Veltol was defeated in battle by the Hero, but thanks to his reincarnation magic, he has returned after 500 years. Veltol is keen to resume his world domination once more, but his vassal, Machina—one of the Six Dark Peers—reveals an unexpected truth.

Following the advice of Machina’s friend, Takahashi, Veltol begins streaming games with a face reveal. He spends his days establishing his image as a streamer, using Takahashi’s strategy and influence. Meanwhile, Veltol goes for a stroll through the back alleys of Shinjuku’s outskirts one day, and Veltol is intrigued by the sight of a particular vagabond.

Machina lets her thoughts drift to Veltol as she prepares dinner. Meanwhile, Veltol learns new facts about the Immortal Furnace, and while he tries to inform Machina using Whisper magic, he gets no response. At the same time, Machina has an unexpected visitor…

Trusting Gram to handle Kinohara, Veltol reaches the Immortal Furnace. He grills Marcus about his betrayal of the immortals and why he kidnapped Machina. The legendary Demon Lord faces Shinjuku’s ruler. The former lord and vassal cross blades in this new world.

Veltol, Machina, and Takahashi infiltrate Lu Xel under the pretense of a short-term exchange program so they can search for the regalia. When the three sit around a table in the school cafeteria, the school’s top student—Albert—begins provoking Hizuki Reynard-Yamada, the woman seated nearby.

After heading out into Electric Town, Veltol’s group visits the mansion of the Reynard family. After entertaining them, Hizuki heads for the bathroom… only to find Veltol already there! The next day, Hizuki hears people talking about the explosion in Electric Town.
