With this Aur prepares to engage his nefarious plans against humanity— though a human himself, he has harbored extreme hatred towards humankind, thinking they are nothing but vile creatures who in the end will betray one another for their own gains.Aur rejuvenates himself with his newfound power and summons a demon to start his initiative: Lilu the Succubus. He makes a contract with her to assist him in building a dungeon headquarters where he will bring many followers to his cause and serve as a target for adventurers and the like to try against him, their defeats used to add to his strength.From there on the misanthropic Aur makes several advances towards human settlements and kingdoms, demanding they become his subjects while using underhanded and downright evil methods to overthrow them. On the side, he has his way with various women...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Maou no Hajimekata (lit. How to get started as the Demon King) began as a series of free Adult Web Novels written by Warau Yakan in 2011, In 2015 he decided to make the once free hobby into a professional work and so it became a Light Novel series published by Kill Time Communication; now paired with an artist, Shindou Arata, Yakan decided to expand his original concept and make a broader story.Also in 2015 the series got a manga adaptation called Maou no Hajimekata – The Comic, drawn by Komiya Toshimasa and written by Warau Yakan himself, the adaptation maintains the adult content from the novels by running in Comic Valkyrie, a seinen magazine, published by Kill Time Communication as well.

Misanthrope Supreme: The core of Aur's character: a human who grew to harbor immense hatred towards his own kind, justifying his hatred by some event that happened in his past implied to be a great betrayal that left him a broken mess (see Start of Darkness below); Aur goes on to become a sorcerer, taking up the title of Demon Lord and vowing to make humanity become his miserable pawns.

 How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King / int_15fc9fb
comment
Our Elves Are Different: Alfar are pretty much your basic fantasy elves. Aur initially is joined voluntarily by a group of dark alfar (i.e. drow) who serve in his army as archers, able to blow a man apart with an arrow from hundreds of meters off. Later he brainwashes Sher, a light alfar (high elf) priestess who attacks the dungeon with Alan's Raiders.

comment
Non-Indicative Name: Aur's full name is Ain Soph Aur. It comes straight out of the Kabbalah, meaning "The Limitless Light", commonly referred to as being God Himself]]; extremely ironic, and maybe pretentious, considering the kind of person Aur is.

Netorare: Invoked against Alan the Warrior. Aur seduced/corrupted Alan's three female companions and made it sure to show it to him, before having one of the girls behead Alan, using Alan's torrent of surging hatred from the betrayal to resurrect him as a powerful ally, a Dullahan. Only the first notable case of something that Aur will make use of many times later, including against Zietlied, whose wife Aur first seduces then tricks him into killing as part of the effort.

He repeatedly rapes Naja in disguise in order to plant the magical suggestion that she was working for him the whole time.

 How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Playing up the part of Demon Lord, Aur goes to a village and demands a virgin maiden as a tribute for him; the village chief offers him a little girl, Maria. Aur asks if they are trying to mess with him, and the chief responds that all of their maidens had already been taken by bandits, royalty, and the like, so Maria was the only virgin left. Aur decides to take Maria anyway, reasoning she could be of some use one day – the standards come in in that since she is underage, Aur keeps her around but does not have sex with her. Lilu, however, starts lecturing the innocent Maria on sex education so that when she matures, she can start servicing him.

comment
Virgin Power: Played With. Aur initially avoids seducing his female apprentice Spina, a Misanthrope Supreme like himself who had horribly burned herself with hot oil to make herself unattractive to bandits (Aur magically healed her when he took her on). He tells her that her virginity is a source of power, but she goes to such lengths to seduce him that he relents and has sex with her.

Hero's Slave Harem
 How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King / int_4054d97e
comment
Hero's Slave Harem: Deconstructed: Aur is the logical result of a Harem Seeker who lacks the scruples that Harem Genre protagonists typically have. About two-thirds of the girls he's with are with him consensually, but he still tends to put curses on them to make it impossible for them to betray him (or a demonic pact in Lilu's case). The other third are variously brainwashed, gaslit, or driven over the Despair Event Horizon. Overall he makes Keyaru from Redo of Healer look like an upstanding citizen.

When Aur is raping Wikia, Alan cries for the latter while denouncing his former members as whores.

Off with His Head!: Aur has the brainwashed Naja behead her former companion Alan after he's secured the allegiance of his former adventuring party. He turns Alan into a zombie to guard the dungeon afterward. After conquering Figuria, Aur has his demon companion Logan behead the king. It's later explained that Figuria had previously conquered and ravaged Aur's homeland. Yunis is beheaded by her own brother after telling Aur she still loves him, even with the brainwashing removed.

Porn with Plot: The sex scenes and dialogue in the manga are quite explicit (the genitals are not drawn or whited out, but nearly everything else is shown) but are far from being the primary focus of the series.

Horny Devils: Lilu. Played With in that being a succubus, she thought Aur summoned her solely for sexual pleasure, while in fact he wanted an adjutant for his plans. He does have sex with her, but it's low on the list of tasks he wants her for, which frankly annoys her.

Ungrateful Townsfolk: Invoked by Aur. When the heroine Yunis comes to kill him at a village's request, he takes his aid back from the village and has Lilu incite them to blame her. To corrupt Yunis and win her loyalty, he then takes her to said village where the villagers try to stone her in rage for doing what they asked. Once Yunis finally broke and tried to kill the villagers, Aur killed them for her, claiming it's a villain's job. The ploy works and Yunis swears both loyalty and love to him.

Killed Off for Real: The souls of heroes are taken by Heaven the moment they're killed. leaving no chance at resurrection, much in the same way that the magically inclined are taken by whichever demon they may sell their soul to. It's a fact that Yunis' father laments, likening heroes to mockeries of life that are little more than Heaven's slaves.

Eventually, it's revealed that the one who forced Aur to kill his mentor was the mentor herself. She had been aiding her country in a war by creating powerful magical weapons, but felt bad about her role in the resulting devastation. She felt pity for Aur (who was orphaned by the war) and took him in to try to atone, but eventually that wasn't enough for her and she stopped creating those weapons altogether. The country she had been helping decided she was a traitor and surrounded her tower with an army intent on killing her. Before they could do that, she used Aur's true name to take control of him and force him to kill her, knowing that the army would spare him.

 How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King / int_dda99fa8
comment
Despair Event Horizon: Yunis' death hits Spina very hard, as without any real combat capabilities of her own, Spina had greatly admired Yunis' strength and the trust she had for her was second only to her trust in Aur. The idea of Yunis dying was one of her greatest fears, and when it came to pass she concluded that if someone as strong as Yunis could die so easily then Aur was not invincible either. The fear and desperation that thought caused is what made her create her own dungeon as a trap for Aur.

 How to Build a Dungeon: Book of the Demon King / int_e0040f41
comment
Start of Darkness: Aur's past is given a proper show in the manga. He was apparently forced (by mind control, magic, brainwashing, or threat of violence) to go after his mentor, a kind and very attractive female druid and herbalist, who raised him as her own son, and when he found her, kill her with his own hands, which he does. He swears to have his vengeance against the kingdom(s) that forced him to do it... Eventually, it's revealed that the one who forced Aur to kill his mentor was the mentor herself. She had been aiding her country in a war by creating powerful magical weapons, but felt bad about her role in the resulting devastation. She felt pity for Aur (who was orphaned by the war) and took him in to try to atone, but eventually that wasn't enough for her and she stopped creating those weapons altogether.

All Women Are Lustful: A good portion of Aur's plans wouldn't work half as well if this trope wasn't in effect: he relies on it heavily to bring powerful women to his side, and unashamedly takes advantage.

The Corrupter: Aur, through what is effectively a Sex-Heel Turn; women who Aur wants to join him are either implanted with false memories of him always being their lover, or else Aur impersonates their actual lover if the woman in question is already engaged. In either case, it ends with the women falling to perverse lust and seeing Aur as the only man in their lives, completely agreeing and assisting him with his evil deeds.
