The Demon Lord 2099 light novels, written by Daigo Murasaki and illustrated by Kureta, was selected as the Grand Prize out of 1,056 entries in the 33rd Fantasia Taisho. Three volumes have been released under the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko imprint in Japan to date. A manga adaptation, with illustrations by Yutaka Sakurai, releases its second volume on March 26 in Japan. Yen Press releases the English edition of the light novel, and describes the series:
The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!
