New Demon King’s POV
“Grwwrrr! (Demon King! Good morning!)”
This is the desert on the way to the forest.
Last night, my soldiers and I camped out here.
I was dreaming.
I dreamed that I died and my precious troops were annihilated.
I was cremated and even had a stone statue built in my honor.
But my dream wasn’t just a dream.
The skill named [Precognitive Dream] allows me to see what will happen in the future.
This skill is not versatile, as it is not something you can choose to see at any time; instead, it is activated on a whim.
However, this future must be avoided at all costs.
There is no need for my soldiers to die in vain, even if it is for me.
To change the future you have learned in [Precognitive Dream], you must use another skill called [Precognitive Avoidance].
Otherwise, my body will move on its own, as in [Precognitive Dream], and the future will be recreated.
However, avoiding foresight comes at a price.
This time, the price must be the equivalent of the lives of 500 soldiers.
What will be taken?
Levels, skills, titles, arms and legs.
But still.
Before using his skill, he lined up his soldiers and said,
“I had a prophetic dream that you and I were defeated and annihilated!
I was defeated! I lost!”
The soldiers were in an uproar.
Everyone knows about my [Precognitive Dream].
They are all buzzing because they know.
They probably can’t believe that they could see a future in which they put so many resources into the fight and lost.
“From now on, I will use [Precognitive Avoidance]!
In exchange for saving my life and yours, I will lose all my skills and titles!”
“Grrrr! (Don’t do it, Demon King-sama! Even though you finally got the title of Demon King a year ago…)”
“Gawgaw! (Our lives are good, only the Demon Lord can save us!)”
“I can’t help it!”
I use my skill [Precognition Avoidance].
The air is distorted, and a weird sound echoes in my head.
The future has changed.
“………”
I look at my body.
There is no change.
I use [Appraisal] on myself.

Title: [Fake Demon King]
A short-tempered and angry demon.
But he is also very considerate of his subordinates, and they adore him.
He was once a demon king but lost his title due to [Precognitive Avoidance].
――――――――――――――――――――――――
“Fuahahahahaha!”
This is a small price to pay!
“Garrwwr!”
“I’m sorry! I lost my [Translation] skill, so I don’t know what you’re talking about!” こThis day, I lost most of my levels, skills, titles, and other things.
But it doesn’t matter.
If my men who are here adore me.
There is nothing wrong with that.
I will give the order to retreat.
I won’t let my men die in vain.
To cool my head and build up my strength again.

Tomita (Cat) POV
“Grawoor! (Somehow, I dreamed that my body had turned back into a dragon!)
“Nyaa— (Yes, yes, that’s good.)”
With that said, I appraise the title that has been attached to me for some time.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Appraisal Results
[Demon King]
Description: A title given to the Demon King.
It turns the fear, despair, and nightmares of the living into power.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Somehow [Fake Demon King] became [Demon King].
I don’t know why.
