I BOUGHT THE DEMON KING AT A YARD SALE
Updated at Nov 28, 2025, 23:54
Title: I BOUGHT THE DEMON KING AT A YARD SALEI'm a baker, not a hero. So when the apocalypse started with raining fire and seven-headed beasts, I did the only sensible thing: I went to the last remaining yard sale.That's where I found him. A ridiculously handsome man trapped in a rusty birdcage with a sign that read: "$5 or Best Offer.""I am the Demon King Asmodeus," he snarled. "Free me, and I will grant you a boon before I destroy your world."I paid the five dollars. But I didn't free him. According to the ancient fae laws etched on the cage, that made him my property.Now, the angels want to execute him. The other demons want to recruit him. And my local HOA is furious about the supernatural energy readings coming from my backyard shed.My new demonic roommate is currently critiquing my cupcake recipes while simultaneously plotting to regain his throne. He says if I become his high priestess, he'll spare me. But I have a better offer.How about a partnership? I'll help him get his kingdom back, and he'll help me save my neighborhood. It turns out running a bakery and running Hell have a lot in common. You just need the right management skills... and an unstoppable, brooding, five-dollar demon by your side.
