How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps

A LitRPG novel set in a world governed by a recurring cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a century later to defeat him. Civilizations have repeatedly fallen to the Demon King's forces, but humanity has relied on the certainty that a legendary Hero will always emerge to save them. This time, however, the timeline has shifted. Only 23 years have passed since the current Demon King's rise, and he has already conquered more than half the world. Waiting for the Hero's prophesied return may leave nothing left to save. Yui Shaw decides to act on a ten-step plan to prevent this outcome. She will pursue the Hero's legendary sword, earn rare classes, gain levels, and develop her skills. She will navigate dungeons that appear designed for a specific Hero to complete. Along the way, she may encounter a fairy.
