* NukeEm: One of the sketches Xiang Ye has is for a small tactical nuke. However, a normal forging stone is inadequate to make it. [[spoiler:With Martin's Pale Moonstone pen, Xiang Ye does make one and uses to to destroy Rennes in their final bout]].



* RealityEnsues: A normal teenage boy, coming from a nation at peace, suddenly dumped right into the heart of a warzone, with no idea of the situation, culture, geography, or local politics isn't going to be able to do much. [[spoiler:On the other hand, a normal teenage boy coming from a nation that achieved peace ''through superior firepower and technology'', and then given a magical pen that can create almost any artificial tool imaginable? There isn't much he '''can't''' do; sometimes we take the wonders of modern-day technology for granted when compared to other world scenarios.]]

** Even with magic, there are things this world and its people don't understand. The physics of Xiang Ye's world are still in this one but because of divergent paths, no one knows about them. Such as [[spoiler:radiation and its lethal potential. Rennes ends up suffering from that when he absorbs the heat of a tactical nuke to survive it. He ends up suffering acute organ failure minutes later]].

* Purple Dragon Army not only charged exorbitant prices for alloy crystals, and embezzled a significant portion of the proceeds, but actively attempted to murder Martin, Isabella, Modo, Eli, and Xiang Ye under Yalu's orders, so he could keep his illegal monopoly, brought about by Yalu's exaggeration of "ground dragon" infestation in the mines.

* InternalReveal: In chapter 115 Martin reveals to his peers Aisi and Dorona [[spoiler:Xiang is the one who created all the interesting technology, as well as the figurines of them which are selling so well]]. This last part severely pisses them off.



* LimitedUseMagicalDevice: Forgers can use standard magical attacks by crafting the appropriate sigil onto the alloy itself. There are two downsides to this. The first is the attack is typically weaker than a mage can produce. The second is that this will drain all the magic in the substance, and these alloys are expensive to buy.



* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: The story starts with one. At a ''truce signing ceremony'', Isabella is stabbed in the back by her handmaiden and second in command, and the human Regent, who was there to sign his end of the contract, tries to kill her. If not for the brave bodyguards she had with her, who died in her place, Isabella's skull would have been collected as a sick trophy. Then there's the entry in RapePillageAndBurn, and lastly, when Isabella and Xiang Ye arrive at the human's capital city, they are ForcedToWatch the heads of Isabella's most loyal soldiers at the tips of spears in a gruesome parade.

Listen up folks! I’m living my life with the demon queen!

Synopsis: Xiang Ye, near-friendless high-school student, whose parents have been overseas for years, is going to bed after marathoning an MMORPG raid event (the only social contact he has) on his summer vacation. He wakes up face to face with the Demon Queen, Isabella Osa, in her summoning chamber as a hostile army is forcing its way in. As she loses her power, and takes on a human appearance, the summoning priest teleports them away, but enemy scouts chance upon them. Xiang Ye's only hope for either of their survival is to proclaim Isabella as his wife...

! Tropes included in the work.

* ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory: Xiang Ye proclaims that he was taken captive and enslaved by the Demon Tribe as a small child when faced with the Human Tribe's soldiers to explain why he doesn't have any knowledge of many human customs, politics, or "common sense."
* FantasticRacism: Humans and demons look down on each other, and a brutal war over resources has led to immense resentment on both sides.
* ForegoneConclusion: The InMediasRes reveals a great deal that the author has planned for the ending.
** Isabella will somehow get her full powers back.
** Xiang Ye will become the king of the humans.
** Xiang Ye will actively grind levels in badass like there's no tomorrow and it still won't be enough.
** This will all take place before Xiang Ye reaches adulthood, so in four years or less.
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Xiang Ye's contribution will bring many bits of modern tech to this new world, some of which is still on the drawing board, like mecha.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: Both Humans and Demons have good and bad among them.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Xiang Ye is looked upon as "useless lumber" because he doesn't have the ability to use magic, but when he joins the human "forging branch," his keen drawing skills and knowledge of modern tech makes him someone to be reckoned with.
* HornedHumanoid: Aside from Isabella, without her "aura," and the priest who summoned Xiang Ye, all the Demons have visible horns.
* InMediasRes: Chapter 1 shows Xiang Ye as the king of the Human Tribe and Isabella, as the Demon Queen, as his wife, with both of them HappilyMarried and going on adventures, then it segues into the synopsis above.
* InnocentCohabitation: Isabella and Xiang live in the same room, but absolutely no hanky-panky goes on. In fact, Isabella would kill Xiang if he tried.
* MarriageBeforeRomance: Isabella Osa and Xiang Ye are officially recognized as a married couple before they start dating.
* NotSoDifferent: Aside from cosmetic differences, the demons shown to date could easily pass for humans, in appearance, culture, and behavior. In fact, Isabella does so, once she's lost her magical power completely and sports a human body.
* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: The story starts with one. At a ''truce signing ceremony'', Isabella is stabbed in the back by her handmaiden and second in command, and the human Regent, who was there to sign his end of the contract, tries to kill her. If not for the brave bodyguards she had with her, who died in her place, Isabella's skull would have been collected as a sick trophy. Then there's the entry in RapePillageAndBurn, and lastly, when Isabella and Xiang Ye arrive at the human's capital city, they are ForcedToWatch the heads of Isabella's most loyal soldiers at the tips of spears in a gruesome parade.

* RealityEnsues: A normal teenage boy, coming from a nation at peace, suddenly dumped right into the heart of a warzone, with no idea of the situation, culture, geography, or local politics isn't going to be able to do much.
** A king that's still a child is going to be almost entirely at the mercy of his Regent unless he's got a powerful mentor shielding him, and even then there's not much he can do to go against the Regent directly, regardless of the Regent's actions.
* RealPolitik: All the factions in the story act solely in their best in all they do, regardless of the methods.
