Synopsis:

[2020 Newcomer King] Villain young master Dark Demon finally recalled his past life memories during the sorting ceremony at Duel Academy, realizing he had been reborn into a Galgame world that was an ultimate hodgepodge of everything.

Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Bliss!

Once any of these seven indicators exceeds the critical threshold, he will irreversibly transform into the Great Demon God!

In the Saint Marian Era, where the demon race has been wiped out and the Demon King sleeps forever, no heretic can survive!

"Eh, so as long as I don't turn into a Demon God, I'll be fine?"

Abstain from pride, abstain from impatience, abstain from anger, abstain from obsession, abstain from greed, abstain from lust, abstain from envy, abstain from sloth.

Dark Demon only wants to live a Buddhist life...

Fast forward to drawing the Seven Sins, Magic Guidance card crafting, rationally watching the drama, obsessing over petting cats, and peak dueling!

Stop clinging to me, women only slow down my card-drawing speed.

Chapter 1 Dark Demon is Not a Dark Demon

"Welcome to Saint Marian Academy!"

In the magnificent hall, sacred hymns drifted through the air. The velvet-soft and silky pitch-black curtains slowly parted, and stepping onto the stage was the most beautiful and noble lady of Saint Marian Academy—Headmistress Arte Saint-Arte!

The nine great spirits surrounding the Archmage transformed into flowers and Hotarubi, rendering the stage dreamy and aesthetic.

Four gorgeously decorated long tables were arranged in the hall, and thousands of candles floating in mid-air above the tables illuminated the hall.

The candlelight reflected off the golden plates and silver goblets, refracting a colorful, hazy light that felt like a dream.

By the time Dark Demon regained his senses, he was already standing on the stage, with Headmistress Arte, who was surrounded by a fragrant breeze, beside him.

Memories flooded back into his mind like flowing water.

Dark recalled the memories of his past life.

"Saint Marian Academy... isn't this the academy from that ultimate hodgepodge Galgame that was trashed before release but had everyone shouting 'it's actually good' after it came out?"

Duel! Saint Marian Super xx Academy!

In the Galgame industry, where budgets were generally poured into exquisite character art while the plot was crudely made, Duel! Saint Marian Super xx Academy could be called a rare breath of fresh air.

Although its plot framework was almost entirely copied from Harry Potter, its ability system borrowed (plagiarized) from Yu-Gi-Oh! and other card games, and the characters on the duel cards were derived from various popular anime, the mix of elements surprisingly formed an interesting game.

Even without pursuing the female characters in the game, one could derive great pleasure from it.

For a long time, Duel! Saint Marian Super xx Academy even became a "card-playing launcher," with various patched versions sweeping through the domestic piracy scene.

However, Dark, holding a heart of pure justice, had stuck to his morals and firmly refused to touch this plagiarized, pirated, and lewd trash game. Thus, he had only heard rumors about some of the settings and plot.

He vaguely remembered that the final boss of this game seemed to be a young noble named Dark Demon.

As the only son of a duchess, Dark Demon played the role of Draco Malfoy in the game, an early-stage villain in the academy who stood against the protagonist. Later, it was suddenly revealed that he was a descendant of the Demon God, and after the resurrected Demon King was defeated, his bloodline awakened, turning him into the final Great Demon God, which also gave the protagonist the chance to kill him and steal his fiancée!

Come to think of it, Dark Demon was truly a tragically born character. Even his name translated to "Dark Demon"—he was a clown destined for tragedy from the very beginning, emmm...

Wait, why does this name sound so familiar?

Dark Demon's face gradually turned pale.

"Dark Demon, Dark Demon..."

The call, as comfortable as a warm breeze in his ears, pulled Dark out of his shock.

He tried his best to control the trembling muscles in his face and turned toward Headmistress Arte.

Headmistress Arte had silver hair as pure and flawless as moonlight, and beneath her long eyelashes were blue eyes that seemed to suck a person's soul into them.

As a target for pursuit in the game, she was the bright moon of Saint Marian, the most beautiful symbol. The luxurious dress, tailored two sizes smaller than her actual size, set off the silver moon jewelry hanging on her chest, making it look exceptionally white.

Dark realized he was at the opening banquet of Saint Marian Academy. As the first freshman to appear, he was undergoing the academy's sorting test.

He tried hard to recall his experiences after being reborn.

After the memories of his past life were restored, the memories of this life had become blurred instead.

But combined with the original settings of Harry Potter, he finally remembered.

Saint Marian Academy was the only academy in the kingdom capable of rivaling the Holy Church's Mystery Academy, and the academy was divided into four sub-colleges.

These four houses are: Noble House, Knight Academy, Magister House, and Fool House.

Students of the Noble House are all pure-blooded nobles of prestigious status.

Students of the Knight Academy are all as brave and righteous as knights.

Students of the Magister House are the inheritors of knowledge, learned and wise.

Although students of the Fool House do not yet possess the bravery of a knight or the wisdom of a magister, they are innocent and pure, holding the greatest potential!

Dark did not feel overly nervous about this.

Before the Demon God Bloodline awakened, even the Sorting Card of the academy should be unable to detect it.

He was the son of a duke, the most prestigious noble bloodline beneath the royal family!

He would inevitably be assigned to the Noble House.

Otherwise, this broken game would be impossible to continue from the very start...

After calming down, Dark glanced at the location where the first-year freshmen were gathered. But among the dense crowd of heads, it was hard to find anyone who looked like the original protagonist.

Thus, Dark realized—he didn't even know the name of the original protagonist!

But it didn't matter; since he was the Son of the Hero who sealed the Demon King, he would soon stand out like a Hotarubi in the dark night.

Dark took a deep breath and said, "Headmistress, I am ready."

"As expected of the only son of the Demon family." Headmistress Arte smiled slightly.

Among the nine spirits flying around her, one small spirit in the shape of a Griffin flew toward Dark.

When it reached Dark, its previously empty beak now held a Magitech Card with a back featuring a crown, a lance, a grimoire, and the "Fool" tarot card, while the front was completely blank.

"Hold the Sorting Card in your hand, Demon."

Following Headmistress Arte's instruction, Dark pulled the Magitech Card from the spirit's beak.

"Now, cover this Sorting Card with your right hand over your left, think about what you like and what you want, and the Sorting Card will provide you with guidance."

"Understood, Headmistress."

Dark narrowed his eyes and began to imagine.

His knowledge of that game was truly limited; he only knew that as a villainous boss who appeared throughout the game, he would only bring about his own destruction after the Demon God Bloodline awakened.

And the awakening of the Demon God Bloodline seemed to occur on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.

Before the awakening of the Demon God Bloodline, although he was at odds with the original protagonist, it was all just petty squabbling and hadn't reached the point of life or death.

His fiancée—the most popular female character in the game—only lost hope in him after he transformed into a Demon God, which gave the original protagonist the opportunity to step in.

In that case, as long as he found a way to suppress the power of the Demon God Bloodline before his coming-of-age ceremony, he would still be that duke's son. Not only would he have high status and power, but he would also have a fiancée who would never leave him, no matter how wicked he acted!

Everything didn't seem so bad yet?

A blinding white light overflowed from his palm, and Dark felt the Sorting Card emitting heat, as if it were imprinting the card.

Headmistress Arte's gentle voice sounded again: "Demon, hold up the Sorting Card and show this year's freshmen how to properly perform the sorting ceremony."

"Understood, Headmistress."

Dark moved his right hand away and saw that the Sorting Card was indeed displaying the crown that symbolized the nobility.

He then held the Sorting Card high and channeled his magic power to trigger it.

"Bang!"

Points of light like fireworks suddenly shot out, forming a giant golden crown in the air.

The Sorting Card shouted: "Dark Demon, Noble House!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Cheers gradually erupted from the long table in the hall where the other grade students of the Noble House were seated!

"Dark Demon, the only son of the duke known as the Valkyrie, he was indeed assigned to our house!"

"OMG!"

It seems the young master is quite popular in the Noble House?

The corners of Dark's mouth curled up slightly, and he lowered his hand.

[Beep! Detected that the Demon God Bloodline has entered the awakening stage, triggering...]

"Damn it!"

Chapter 2 Dark Demon Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

Amidst the cheers of the Noble House students, Dark Demon walked off the stage.

Although his smile was slightly stiff, he still tried to raise his arm to give his supporters the response they deserved.

As a noble of pure blood, he had to maintain etiquette beyond what was necessary and could not act too abruptly.

Although, he was currently feeling extremely skeptical about his own "pure blood"!

--What kind of pure bloodline inherits the Demon God Bloodline anyway?

Sitting down in the seat belonging to the Noble House, Dark turned to face the stage.

In that instant, the smile he had been barely maintaining suddenly collapsed!

"The Demon God Bloodline has entered the awakening stage!"

This shocked him even more than the system's activation!

"What caused the Demon God Bloodline to enter the awakening stage early? In the game, it was supposed to trigger for unknown reasons during the very late game, right?"

"Why didn't it trigger sooner or later, but exactly when I recovered my memories?"

"Could this be the reason?"

"No, I don't have time to dwell on such questions right now."

"If I don't want to be taken out by a single shot of the Magical Spirit Cannon from Principal Arte on stage, I must find a way as soon as possible..."

"Fortunately, according to the system prompt, the Demon God Bloodline has only just entered the awakening stage and hasn't fully awakened yet; I can still be saved!"

Dark's eyes flashed as he attempted to call out to the system in his mind.

[Hello, Host! The Demon God Assistance System is at your service!]

Damn this Demon God Assistance!

Dark gritted his teeth.

This lousy system actually existed to assist him in becoming a Demon God!
