Do you know how this world ends? Become the hero and take down the 72 Demon Lords. The game that was boasted as the absolute hardest strategy game, 『Dungeon Attack』.I used to be the ‘hero’ that had accomplished everything in this game, but after answering a suspicious survey, I found myself in the game as the weakest Demon Lord, 「Dantalian」.With only my eloquent tongue and my memories of conquest as a hero—.In order to survive as Dantalian. I shall tear this world apart.Written by Yoo-Heonhwa, Dungeon Defense follows the tale of an unnamed man who is transported to the world of『Dungeon Attack』after answering a suspicious survey from the company that makes the game. He finds himself to the 71st Demon Lord, Dantalian, in the year 1505, 10 years before the start of the original game. Using only his wits, he must prevent the hero, the character he formerly played as, from destroying the world by killing the 72 Demon Lords.The translation of the series can be found here. | |

A House Divided | |
| Dungeon Defense / int_21889507 | comment |
A House Divided: Dantalian notes that the real reason the Crescent Alliance hasn't destroyed humanity yet is because many of the other Demon Lords realize that without a common enemy, they will destroy themselves and take steps to prevent this outcome. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Dungeon Defense / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Dantalian reads through the laws describing the situation in which a Demon Lord can attack another Demon Lord early on in volume 1. He proceeds to use this information to set up a situation to kill 72nd Demon Lord without getting into trouble. | |

Ironic Echo: Before he gets transported into the Dungeon Attack world, Dantalian tells his father to stay the rest of his life in prison. Later on, in Volume 4 after speaking with Farnese she suggests the very same thing to him. | |

Oblivious to Love: Due to never having been in a relationship nor having yet found someone to fit his twisted tastes, Dantalian doesn't realize that he has fallen in love with Lapis until he has screwed up several times. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Dungeon Defense / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Dantalian convinces the Keuncuska Firm to lend him 10,000 gold by telling them that he plans on buying by a weed to cure a plague that will decimate the population within months. Assuming he's going crazy as well as tightening the noose of debt around his neck, they give him the money, not expecting him to pay off the debt and have enough spare to become one of the richest people in the world. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first and second volume, Dantalian constantly uses his Aphrodite's Apostle ability in order to tell how he is viewed by other people. In later volumes, it is nowhere to be found. In addition, the prompt for important decisions has disappeared in the later volumes. | |

Kangaroo Court | |
| Dungeon Defense / int_5d3e7c6 | comment |
Kangaroo Court: Walpurgis Night's council of Demon Lords counts as this as no evidence is ever used, judgement is made based on hearsay, and no public defenders are provided. Unlike most examples though, Dantalian abuses the rules of the court to both overturn his accusations as well as screw over his opposition. | |

The Power of Acting | |
| Dungeon Defense / int_623d69e0 | comment |
The Power of Acting: Dantalian's "Acting" skill, which turns him into a dangerously eloquent and charismatic speaker as it grows stronger. It veers into a bit of Unreliable Narrator territory, as POV chapters from other characters who have been on the receiving end of it hear a completely different speech than what Dantalian actually said (which is usually something far more simpler). So either Dantalian is oblivious to his own silver tongue, or other characters hear what the Acting skill thinks they should hear for Dantalian to succeed. | |
