Gary McNeish died the greatest death imaginable to mankind: slipping on water while dancing with a broom. Naah! That was just a big fat lie to get your attention.

Well, now that I got it, let's have fun.

Did you know being an orphan was a pain in the ass? You wanna know who was one? Me, Gary. My parents died when I was eight because some drunk asshole thought driving three times over the legal limit at 9 AM was a fantastic idea. After that, I spent my childhood in a group home, went to community college, worked a soul-crushing call center job, and lived in a shitty apartment with two other broke losers.

The American Dream, baby.

Then I died. For real this time. Slipped on water while cleaning to Thousand Foot Krutch, smashed my head on the counter, and that was it. Twenty-three years of mediocrity ended by a wet floor and gravity.

But here's where it gets interesting.

I woke up in this void, pitch-black nothingness that made my existential dread look like a fucking joke. And then a blue screen popped up and told me: Congrats, you're dead! Here's three wishes and access to infinite realities. Go wild.

So I did what any sane person would do. I wished myself into a modified version of a web novel I'd been reading, Custom Made Demon King, gave myself some Overpowered abilities, and told myself I was gonna booty f*ck everyone who got in my way to gain power in that Multiverse.

Then I hatched as a baby demon on a volcanic beach... Why are you still reading the synopsis? Go read the damn chapter, man... Damn!

...

A word of caution from the author, AshenMoons: OK, so this fan fiction was inspired by a novel I read years ago called Custom Made Demon King (CMDK). There hasn't been much fan fiction made from it — I don't know why! But here I am to contribute my own piece.

This fanfic doesn't have a release schedule, as I have a job and can't focus on too many things. I might even take a break from translating Chinese fanfiction as I have little time.

I've wanted to create this for years, but only now have I decided to act on it.

I did use AI to help me streamline my plot, but this fanfic was not written by AI. Everything in it came from my imagination, the plot and the author of CMDK.

Also, each of my chapters is over 7,500 words long, so I don't think you should worry about it being too short.

Bloodline: At least four different kinds


Demon Name: Valdos Belial Maxim Raizel… Vancouver Gabe


Magic Energy: ∞ (Limited by strength and hierarchy)


Skills: Nanto Seiken (Intermediate - Nearing Mastery | Advanced - Practicing)


Souls in Possession: Mid-Quality Soul (7), Low-Quality Soul (43)


Explanation: After living beings die, you can easily discover the location of their souls.


Talent Ability 2: Essence of Involate Self


Explanation: Complete immunity to all forms of external control, manipulation, or targeting of body, mind, and soul. Grants biological immortality, unlimited stamina and willpower, and protection from imprisonment or binding. Cannot be affected by fate, prophecy, or reality manipulation. Allows one-time physical customization.


Explanation: Soul-bound artifact containing the Essence of Competence (infinite learning capacity, skill acquisition, and knowledge distribution) and Essence of Infinite Omniversal Energy (bottomless power source that scales with user's strength). Grants ability to master any skill instantly, extrapolate entire fields from basic knowledge, and substitute IOE for any energy type.


Evaluation:One month of intensive combat and training has produced remarkable results. Strength and speed have more than doubled since hierarchy advancement to Middle-Tier. Nanto Seiken proficiency has progressed from beginner to near-mastery of intermediate forms in record time due to Origin Artifact's Competence function and constant real-world application. Advanced techniques are now executable within safe energy output parameters, though sustained use requires further hierarchy advancement. Combat experience against magic users has broadened tactical understanding significantly. Current soul consumption threshold (1000 low-quality souls per tier advancement) suggests optimization toward quality over quantity - higher barriers yield superior stat gains. Crude IOE-based healing method functional but inefficient; recommend acquiring dedicated healing knowledge. Overall assessment: Exceptional growth rate. Projected trajectory indicates potential Middle-Rank advancement within 2-3 months if current progression continues.
