I Became a Demon Who Can Never Be Headpatted in the Academy?!

“Wow… this is the most trash game I’ve played recently.”

– We told you to run

– lol why are you even trying to strategize this

– Should we play a game that’s off cooldown?

– Let’s ditch this trash game and play a God game again ㄱㄱ

As a streamer, playing trash games was common, but a highly anticipated game being trash was painful in many ways.

「Mr. xx has donated 5,000 gold」

[Let’s play Leoa again ㄱㄱ A DLC just came out]

Leoa is short for Legend of Academy.

Leoa was one of the top 5 most popular games on my stream, loved by viewers and enjoyable for me to play. The only downside was that I had played it so much that I knew every route and guide inside out.

Still, it’s a pretty niche game, so there aren’t many streamers who play it often. Since there are people who come to my stream just to watch me play it, playing ‘Leoa’ again was a good choice.

– Leoa ㄱㄱㄱㄱ

– How about we play with mods this time?

– What about Tenshi instead of Leoa?

– Waiter!! One Leoa Gukbap, please!

The mood in the chat was good, so I turned off the trash game where I had to become a fantasy civil servant and launched ‘Leoa’.

─ ♬

“That’s the stuff… This is why Leoa is great, right? The song that plays when you launch the game and the BGM when you create a character are amazing.”

– Hmm… Is that a classic?

– It’s true, the vibe is really good

– Doesn’t it make your heart flutter? lol

“I’m going to ditch the trash game and play Leoa… Even with the DLC, I don’t want to give up on the concept…”

Legend of Academy was a game where I raised a character I created at a school called ‘Cosmos Academy’ in a fantasy world.

Depending on the player’s choices, the ‘Hero’ you were trying to raise at Cosmos Academy could become a Demon King by completely flipping the script, or you could settle down for a quiet and happy married life.

It’s kind of like Princess Maker, which was popular a long time ago. It also has dating sim elements, but the battles are deck-building, so there’s a lot to enjoy.

– How about Fist King?

– Let’s do an archer this time

– You gave up on the mage last time and did Fist King ㅡㅡ

– Isn’t it obviously a sword?

The concepts the viewers were talking about were the character’s combat ‘Build’. Unfortunately, I couldn’t decide that right now.

「Mallang Mallang has donated 10,000 gold」

[Teacher… I, I really like Leoa… but getting the hero ending with the Demon race… is too, hard…]

– That’s always hard

– Not for beginners ㅇㅇ

– Only trash like the streamer can do that;

“Ah… First of all, thank you for the 10,000 gold donation, Mallang Mallang. Well, since it’s been a while, should we play as a Demon race? If we want to taste the DLC, we have to do what we used to do.”

In Leoa, the race you choose when creating a character was basically a concept of ‘difficulty’.

The ‘Royal race’ could get various good bonuses for free in terms of character favorability, group favorability, events, and so on.

On the other hand, the ‘Demon race’ started with favorability at rock bottom even if you did nothing, and had events that led to bad endings, which was a severe penalty. Of course, there were special events and rewards that only the Demon race could access, so it wasn’t like it was all suffering. That was also the charm of Leoa.

“Let’s start with the Demon race… and let’s see, for the ending, we’ll go for the ‘Hero Ending’, which can be called the true ending.”

– You’re doing that again?

– Are you seriously going to attempt a Demon Race Hero with zero points again?

– Are you going to retry again like last time? lololol

– How many times are you going to do a new Academy this time? Are you going to do it 300 times?

– It’s doable if it’s not 0 point lol The 0 point challenge is a real pain ㅇㅇ

The Hero Ending is really difficult.

You had to pass all the trials prepared by the Academy, and you had to fight and win against a predetermined rival.

You even had to complete at least one romance route, and if you didn’t work hard on your favorability with the other characters, you wouldn’t be able to see the ‘Hero Ending’.

But I liked the story of a hero who achieved perfect happiness after overcoming tremendous trials, so I wasn’t interested in other endings.

“Okay, okay, now that we’ve decided on the ending, let’s quickly decide on the starting traits.”

「Mr. xx has donated 5,000 gold」

[Streamer~ Streamer~ Of course you’re going to do it with 0 points, right? You cleared it last time?]

“Of course I’m going to do it with 0 points. Why wouldn’t I? First of all, I won’t pick any of the new DLC traits. Wow, there are so many ridiculous names. Blind, deaf, who would pick those?”

[Trait Points: 5]

『Advantages』

[Pandemonium Transfer Student, Fast Feet]

『Disadvantages』

[Not Selected]

In Leoa, when creating a character, you could add advantages using trait points. The number of trait points increased depending on the selected advantage, and the limit was basically 5.

Conversely, selecting a disadvantage reduced trait points.

[Trait Points: 0]

『Advantages』

[Not Selected]

『Disadvantages』

[Not Selected]

If you removed the advantages and disadvantages like this, the trait points would become 0. What people were calling ‘0 points’ meant that the trait points became 0.

However, it wasn’t that simple.

“I have to include this to get the Hero Ending with the Demon race. So, I’ll add it…”

[Trait Points: 4]

『Advantages』

[Saved Child]

If you didn’t pick the ‘Saved Child’ advantage, it was systemically impossible to get the ‘Hero Ending’ with the Demon race. Even if the DLC just came out, the route itself wouldn’t open, so this was an advantage I had to pick no matter what.

So now I had 4 points, and I had to choose more disadvantages to make it 0 points.

“Hmm… should I go for Gukbap?”

– Honestly, filling up 4 points is tough, isn’t it?

– lol I couldn’t do it?

– It’s probably easier to create a One Piece pirate crew with 100 dollars than this;

[Trait Points: 0]

『Advantages』

[Saved Child]

『Disadvantages』

[Affectionate, Genetic Defect, Often Hungry, Torn Pocket]

“I’ll proceed with 0 points like this. It’s enough, right?”

– Isn’t Genetic Defect really hard?

– You picked Affectionate, do you remember all the favorability choices???

– Wow lol This is going to be really tough

I could see the viewers freaking out, but these were not problematic disadvantages.

Among the disadvantages that gave more points, there were crazy ones that completely prevented you from using magic or reset your deck every time you fought.

Compared to those, the disadvantages I chose seemed tricky because of their number, but only two were truly fatal. However, I knew how to remove them through events, and I remembered all the favorability choices, so there was nothing that would be a problem for me.

“Then, next is the background… this is fixed to Orphan because I chose Saved Child…”

Depending on the background, you could get free advantages, but in the case of ‘Orphan’, there was nothing.

“Starting knowledge too… yes, of course there’s none because it’s 0 points.”

Since Leoa was a game where you raised a character from 5th grade in elementary school to 3rd grade in high school, you could create a character with some ‘knowledge’ from the start.

But since I didn’t choose any advantages that would give me that knowledge, there was nothing I could receive.

“And finally, you can choose your belongings, but since I didn’t choose anything from the advantages, I can only take the items given by Saved Child.”

[Belongings]

『Old Sword』

『Old Bracelet』

– Wow lol I’m breathless

– Why is there no gold in the belongings???

– Can you really do this? Is this even possible?

– What build? You’re going to die before you even get to 6th grade of elementary school?

“Didn’t I clear the Hero Ending with this setting last time? If things don’t go well this time, I’ll just have to grind again.”

If I were to summarize the character I would be raising in Legend of Academy this time, it would be like this:

[Race: Demon race]

[Trait Points: 0]

『Advantages』

[Saved Child]

『Disadvantages』

[Affectionate, Genetic Defect, Often Hungry, Torn Pocket]

[Belongings]

『Old Sword』

『Old Bracelet』

[Knowledge]

『Common language』

『Demon language』

Anyone who knew even a little bit about Leoa would ask if I was a masochist, but it was okay.

In the first place, if I just played the game casually, just skimming through the story, no one would watch, and I wouldn’t want to play like that because it would be boring.

“I’ve also turned on the Return to Pandemonium DLC, and activated Ironman mode…”

I already knew what was added in this DLC.

There were no new endings, but the Demon King route was made more reasonable, and more epilogues were added to the Hero Ending.

A large number of new cards were added, detailed romance routes were created for characters that didn’t have routes, and special ending cutscenes were also created.

“Then! To celebrate the release of the new DLC, I’ll play Legend of Academy again! The race is Demon! The ending is Hero! Zero points!”

– Let’s go!

– It’s supposed to be harder because of this DLC lol You’re going to see a new academy 100 times lol

– Order some chicken ㅇㅇ

Looking at the noisy chat, I pressed the enter button to start the game, and at that moment, a dizziness that made my vision go dark came over me.

* * *

“My, my head hurts so much…”

It was a real relief that light returned to my darkened vision, but my head was acting up. My head was so heavy that my neck hurt.

“Wait a minute…”

The moment I was slightly freed from the headache, I noticed something strange.

Why am I lying in bed? And whose bed is this?

“Computer… huh?”

Sitting on a bed that didn’t feel familiar at all, the room I could look around was definitely not my room.

No further explanation is needed. A room with no fluorescent lights on the ceiling and no computer could not be my room.

“What, what is this…? What… what?”

I was startled and got out of bed, but my body was strangely light. At the same time, I noticed pink pajamas that I had never worn in my life.

Pink pajamas? What is this? If anyone saw me, they’d think I was a pedophile. They’re kid’s pajamas?! Why are there animals drawn on them?

In the first place, I don’t even wear pajamas when I sleep?!

“Pink…? My, my hands, why… why are they like this? Why are they so small?”

And what is this voice? It’s a completely childish voice? A little kid? It’s a girl’s voice?

“This… this isn’t what I think it is, right? Right? I didn’t even swear!”

I rushed to the bathroom that was in the room. The bathroom was very small, or to be more accurate, it was low. It felt like someone had intentionally made it that way for a child.

“No way…”

The ‘me’ that was visible beyond the mirror on the sink was looking far too absurd.

“This, this is completely…”

The long, untrimmed sky-blue hair and the dark red horns on both sides of my head were proof that I was a Demon race.

The soft cheeks I touched with both hands, the sparkling emerald eyes, and the little girl’s voice that I could clearly hear in my ears meant only one thing.

“I’ve… become a brat…?”

I had become the protagonist I had created with a setting that even the masochists of Legend of Academy would shake their heads and run away from.
