How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu
In the fantasy MMORPG Cross Reverie, legendary player Takuma Sakamoto reigns supreme from his own personal lair with his incredible gear and skill. While a feared demon lord named Diablo in game, he is a reclusive shut-in in real life. One moment he is in his room playing and in the next he suddenly finds himself at Skyfall Tower, a location within the game. The tower is a place that players can obtain rare summons at and it appears that the elf Shera and the pantherian Rem somehow brought him to this world.

During a routine magical affinity assessment, Diablo scores off the chart prompting the guildmaster Sylvie to meet with them personally.

Fallen Assault |
2018.07.19 |
| To make up for the last unfortunate quest, Sylvie offers the group an easy quest with an absurdly high reward - to simply deliver some food to a nearby bridge fort of Ulug. Upon leaving, they meet a pompous mid-level knight named Emile Bichel Berger, whom the two girls are already acquainted with. The situation at the bridge is gloom with a massive army of demons referred to as the Fallen headed that way. Diablo realizes the defense at the bridge is too pathetic to stop the Fallen army so in contrast to his adopted character, he decides to stay and help. |

Sylvie isn't exactly okay with allowing The Demon Lord to run around in the city so Diablo suggests using a Slave Collar to ease her worries. |
