''Mage & Demon Queen'' is a WebComic by Color_LES.
In a fantasy world that is ''not'' an MMORPG, but [[RPGMechanicsVerse operates by a lot of the same rules]], teams of human adventurers seek to challenge the Demon Tower. Whoever can ascend to the top floor and defeat the Demon Queen Velverosa will gain fame and fortune and a rich reward from the kingdom.
But the queen is very powerful, and no party has ever survived a clash with her. One particular thorn in her side is Malori Crowett, a particularly powerful young mage that has repeatedly reached the top, only to have her party eradicated (fortunately, DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist here.) But that's not holding back Malori, who is more determined than ever.
Not to kill her, oh no. To win her hand ([[AllWomenAreLustful and the rest of her body]].)
And so a silly {{yuri|genre}} RomanticComedy begins.

* AlternateUniverse: Melathia is quite fond of making fanfiction involving Velverosa and Malori in alternate universes, such as with the roles switched, or in a school setting.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Among demons, authority is established through strength, with tournaments held to determine leaders.
* BestHerToBedHer: Melathia told Malori that she would have to defeat Velverosa in order to romance her, due to the AsskickingEqualsAuthority culture of the demons.
* CardCarryingVillain: None of the demons are particularly evil. They fight adventurers because that's what they're supposed to do. Well, and because they're rather put-out that humans keep attacking them for loot and experience.
* ChildhoodFriends: Malori and Cedric. It turned out, he was actually the reason she got into adventuring in the first place, after sympathizing with her taboo interest in demons.
* ChildProdigy: Malori has power way beyond what she should for a student who isn't actually a licensed adventurer yet. This is because a masochistic demon captured her and made her fry him with fire magic repeatedly just so he could get off on it. After two weeks of this, she was massively overpowered from all the experience gain.
* ComedicSociopathy: Malori has no qualms about bringing parties into the tower to be killed just to get her to the top floor. She's also willing to fry them herself if there's any chance they'd harm Velverosa.

* {{Fetish}}: Cerik has a fetish for snake women and stockings. When he meets Melathia, he sheds ManlyTears, then sneaks into her bedroom and steals a shed snakeskin to snuggle with.
* FriendlyEnemy: Malori has ascended the Demon Tower so many times that the demon bosses below Queen Velverosa just let her through. The queen is not pleased at this.
* AGlassInTheHand: Vel crushes the wine glass she's holding when she sees that Malori has brought party members with her to meet the queen.

This is best illustrated by Malori healing him by throwing a ''glass'' potion at Cerik's head, dealing him -1 damage, before it shatters and dumps the healing liquid on him.
* JerkAss: A lot of Malori's fellow adventurers are jerks, and she has little compunction about turning them into scorch marks if they give her lip.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire magic is Malori's specialty.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Vel appears to be in her twenties, but is over 200.
* RPGMechanicsVerse: The author has stated that the world is not an MMORPG, but it operates by most of the same rules. People have numerical stat boxes, they respawn after they die, and you can LevelGrind by killing monsters (who are rather pissed at humans over this issue.)
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Velverosa insists Malori means nothing to her... while her tail is visibly wagging. Her underlings just want her to finally admit her attraction.
* ShipperOnDeck: Vel's lieutenant Melathia is especially enthusiastic about getting them together, to the point of writing fanfic about them.
* SnakePeople: Melathia is a lamia. Which happens to coincide perfectly with Cerik's particular fixation.
* StalkerWithACrush: Malori's primary hat. Her friend Cerik tries to call her out on it but she doesn't care.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Vel's standard outfit looks like leather BDSM gear. Strangely enough, she's rather prudish compared to Malori or Melathia.
* TeamMom: Melathia for the demons -- she's mainly concerned with trying to get Vel and Malori together rather than her job defending the tower. The author and her assistants nicknamed her "Titty Mom."
* TooKinkyToTorture:
** How Malori got her extreme power so young. She was captured by a demon that gets off on being fried with fire magic, and simply wanted her to keep zorching him repeatedly. And supplied free mana potions so she wouldn't have to stop. By the time he'd had enough, she had leveled way up and her fire magic skill had been cranked UpToEleven.
** Malori, in turn, is perfectly fine being exploded as long as it's Vel doing it.
* {{Tsundere}}: Velverosa insists she wants nothing to do with Malori, but becomes very irate when she mistakenly believes Malori has gotten over her.
* VillainousFaceHold: Vel imagines having Malori imprisoned and doing this to her.
* VisualPun: "Horny Mal" literally has four red horns sprouting from her head.
* YouShallNotPass: The Demon Generals are ''supposed'' to do this. But nowadays they just wave Malori through. Partly because she can easily wipe the floor with all of them, but also to facilitate her pursuit of Velverosa.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: If you die in the demon tower, your body appears in a casket at the local temple. Although they'll throw you out instead of reviving you if you have no money left.
* {{Fetish}}: Cerik has a fetish for snake women and stockings. When he meets Melathia, he sheds ManlyTears, then sneaks into her bedroom and steals a shed snakeskin to snuggle with.
* FriendlyEnemy: Malori has ascended the Demon Tower so many times that the demon bosses below Queen Velverosa just let her through. The queen is not pleased at this.
* AGlassInTheHand: Vel crushes the wine glass she's holding when she sees that Malori has brought party members with her to meet the queen.
* IdiotHair: Malori has it and it doubles as ExpressiveHair.
* IronButtMonkey: Since they were kids, Cerik has been getting the worst of the abuse and consequences of their adventuring, and Malori is showing no signs of stopping the abuse and negligence, though Cerik is still quite capable of surviving most everything the world can throw at him. This is best illustrated by Malori healing him by throwing a ''glass'' potion at Cerik's head, dealing him -1 damage, before it shatters and dumps the healing liquid on him.
* JerkAss: A lot of Malori's fellow adventurers are jerks, and she has little compunction about turning them into scorch marks if they give her lip.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire magic is Malori's specialty.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Vel appears to be in her twenties, but is over 200.
* RPGMechanicsVerse: The author has stated that the world is not an MMORPG, but it operates by most of the same rules. People have numerical stat boxes, they respawn after they die, and you can LevelGrind by killing monsters (who are rather pissed at humans over this issue.)
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Velverosa insists Malori means nothing to her... while her tail is visibly wagging. Her underlings just want her to finally admit her attraction.
* ShipperOnDeck: Vel's lieutenant Melathia is especially enthusiastic about getting them together, to the point of writing fanfic about them.
* SnakePeople: Melathia is a lamia. Which happens to coincide perfectly with Cerik's particular fixation.
* StalkerWithACrush: Malori's primary hat. Her friend Cerik tries to call her out on it but she doesn't care.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Vel's standard outfit looks like leather BDSM gear. Strangely enough, she's rather prudish compared to Malori or Melathia.
* TeamMom: Melathia for the demons -- she's mainly concerned with trying to get Vel and Malori together rather than her job defending the tower. The author and her assistants nicknamed her "Titty Mom."
* TooKinkyToTorture:
** How Malori got her extreme power so young. She was captured by a demon that gets off on being fried with fire magic, and simply wanted her to keep zorching him repeatedly. And supplied free mana potions so she wouldn't have to stop. By the time he'd had enough, she had leveled way up and her fire magic skill had been cranked UpToEleven.
** Malori, in turn, is perfectly fine being exploded as long as it's Vel doing it.
* {{Tsundere}}: Velverosa insists she wants nothing to do with Malori, but becomes very irate when she mistakenly believes Malori has gotten over her.
* VillainousFaceHold: Vel imagines having Malori imprisoned and doing this to her.
* VisualPun: "Horny Mal" literally has four red horns sprouting from her head.
* YouShallNotPass: The Demon Generals are ''supposed'' to do this. But nowadays they just wave Malori through. Partly because she can easily wipe the floor with all of them, but also to facilitate her pursuit of Velverosa.
