Demon Lord 2099

Demon Lord Veltol returns to Shinjuku after 500 years to resume his world domination, but his vassal reveals an unexpected truth.

Veltol learns of his former vassal Marcus's betrayal firsthand; Machina shows Veltol around the city; Veltol struggles to adapt to the completely altered world of the future; Machina introduces him to someone.

Following the advice of Machina's friend, Takahashi, Veltol begins streaming games with a face reveal; he spends his days establishing his image as a streamer, using Takahashi's strategy and influence.

Veltol is asked to work as Takahashi's bodyguard; hoping to test the strength of his restored faith as well, Veltol plans to launch a surprise attack on the yakuza; but their run-of-the-mill heist leads to unexpected developments.

Machina lets her thoughts drift to Veltol as she prepares dinner; Veltol learns new facts about the Immortal Furnace and while he tries to inform Machina using Whisper magic, he gets no response.

The Immortal Furnace lies directly below the Aether Reactor of Shinjuku; Machina flies into a rage when Marcus reveals an appalling truth about immortals.
