Accidentally Crowned the Demon Lord

Evan Mercer was supposed to be having the worst day of his life, not the best afterlife. A burned-out delivery driver with a talent for logistics, cheap charisma, and bad decisions, Evan is accidentally summoned to the fantasy world of Edrath during a sacred ritual meant to call the legendary Hero. Thanks to a divine clerical error and a glitched blessing screen, he doesn’t receive a holy sword or dragon-slaying destiny. Instead, he inherits the abandoned throne, treasury, and administrative authority of the recently vanished Demon Lord.

Armed with an absurdly overpowered skill called Infinite Management, Evan can optimize anything he governs: farms become miracle harvests, goblins turn into elite civil engineers, and monster-infested ruins become profitable tourist attractions. The catch? Every kingdom on the continent assumes he’s planning conquest, the church wants the “false summon” erased, and the real Hero is a beautiful, terrifying noble girl who thinks Evan stole her fate. To survive, Evan decides to do the unthinkable: build the first demon kingdom where humans, demi-humans, and monsters can live, work, and get rich together. Unfortunately, saving the world may require him to become exactly what everyone fears.
