A dog-headed Demon King. Who is also a reincarnated Japanese (as he knew what the Bible, Quran, and the Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung were).
Although a goddess did appear during their conversation as well.

Yes, sort of. He learns it in a very "video game developer" fashion, similar to how his other ability works.

Spoiler:

Called "unit placement". Within the area of his influence, he can freely move his units about, including himself.

[poorep]

Spoiler for Meteor shower:

Just to add on to what has been said about the meteor shower, he only used it because he was fighting in the middle of the desert. He first made sure that no one was around, then created walls of ice using a tsunami he previously 'summoned' to contain the impact. Yet, he notes that the shockwaves from the impact are still probably going to affect nearby cities.

Regarding the titular death march, there is some irony in the fact that while MC wants to take it easy in the new world, he's probably doing much more work compared to the death march in the old world. Think about it: multiple identities, maintaining a presence and managing several businesses in different cities, creating things, knocking out bandits, the list goes on....

He doesn't have a true 'teleport' skill per se,

Spoiler:

He only gains the 'unit placement' skill in recent chapters. For the areas of influence that he can use unit placement in, he must have basically 'cleared' it, so there are only a few places for that so far. The upside is that it consumes no MP and has no restriction on the number of people he can move about (I think).

Prior to that, he used a 'return' type of spell to move about. It allows him to instantly shift to places he has 'tagged' before, but consumes MP, with more MP being consumed when bringing others along. Since he has basically tagged every place he has been to and can get almost unlimited amounts of MP, he has been abusing it quite readily.

For 'normal' travelling (i.e. to places he has not been to before, he basically "flies" around (I am still not too clear on how exactly he 'flies' though I'm pretty sure it's not actual flying)

In current chapters, he is working on ways to get a true teleport spell, amongst other high-level magics.

[laon]

Well the difference is, most of his labors bore fruits, unlike the definition of death march (and thanks to his crazy stat, it's not like he's tired doing all of those, physically at least).

[obnuchious]

well, compared to his previous life, at least there he can fulfill his long lost chuuni dreams . . .
XD

how often does he and the summoned hero get to interact?

and can someone possibly spoil some instances where both he and the hero were 'comparing' each other's harem...

[mPervy]

I like this...!? especially the narrations at the start of every chapters. And somehow, the writing was more enjoyable than most WN that I read so far. And the fact that the MC wasn't some random dude that had regret from previous life and want a 2nd chance was a plus.

[travelingbum]

so... who in the world is doing that TL....

But isn't the sky divided by the falling meteorites?

just stopped me right there... and the tl didn't want to put his age in the synopsis as well? instead just call him an adult.... lol

well going to just read it raw since that has been going better for me anyway.

[poorep]

Spoiler for Interactions with Hayato:

They don't directly compare their harem. Satou is pretty much glued to the figures of Hayato's party during their first appearance, while Hayato was already pretty infatuated with Alisa, while also commenting on Lulu's beauty ('would have married her if she was five years younger' which is a pretty common phrase for him) which causes a set of issues on it's own.

In one scene, Hayato happens to visit an orphanage where Satou has been helping out. All the women swarm Hayato, while only the lolis stay by Satou. Both can only burn with jealousy.

His interactions with the hero are pretty varied, as he has met with Hayato as both Satou and while disguised as Nanashi.

As Nanashi, it's basically all acting mysterious and such, along with setting up a means of communication with him. They're both in the role of a hero after all. Note that Hayato does not know that Satou is Nanashi, and actually believes that Nanashi is Alisa in a hax form, due to the purple wig that Satou wears as Nanashi.

As Satou, Hayato basically holds a grudge of sorts due to him being the owner of Alisa, and after a series of events (i.e. witnessing Satou relaxing with his almost all loli group of girls), challenges Satou to a duel over Alisa. Satou basically wins without displaying his true power in a severely restricted duel and earns Hayato's respect.

tl;dr: To Hayato: Nanashi= OP Alisa, Satou: Japanese of decent skill

[tsunade666]

lol, what a weird relationship. jealous against each other.

[crow13]

at least Satou lolis will grew up to be hot women's so satou just have to wait a few years.
as for Hayato there is no hope XD

aaaa.... that would still be a problem for Satou. Remember, his preference is older women... older than him...

The spell is basically a WMD, and wipes out an entire zone without discrimnination.

He uses it one more time in a battle later on to destroy a very powerful opponent, but it only serves to reaffirm how it should never be used.

which chapter is that battle..?

I think it's not "older than him", it's more like "same age as his mentality". He's 29 after all.

well.... either physical or mental, said women has to be older than him.....

~shrugs~

[El Rue]

^His strike range does go a bit higher that his age though.


Been reading the raws & I've just finished the chapter where it' the first time Satou & his girls enjoy a bath together (end up full of shenanigans of course). There are times when his girls get competitive, though they are very "territorial" aren't they? (Oh, they will cockblock whenever they can)

Hah, his ability to meet loli's really is "curse" for him huh...


From what I'm getting, he can't seem to learn spells properly cuz' of the chants & chooses scrolls whenever possible to quickly learn them right?

[obnuchious]

exactly how many lolis are there in his harem already? ...and are all of them inside the bath scene, too?

~shrugs~

ndiezel is correct though, he just prefers grown adult women, physically closer to his actual age.

Five, if you count Lulu and Mia.

Riza is older teen, and Nana is physically adult male body.
Although her age is actually youngest, being an artificial life form.

As for harem, Alisa, Lulu, and Mia are the only ones that have romantic feelings for Satou.
The beastmen trio and Nana's feelings are more of loyalty.

Satou sees all of them as family though, right now his affections are reserved for

Spoiler:

the Elven queen.

That'd would have been scary. You mean female.


It's not like he doesn't have other options for adult woman, though unfortunately the one who's after him (beside the spoiler above) is mentally a child (not literally, just the way she acts) even though she's physically mature.

[DoomCalibur]

Any pictures of Elven Queen so far?

[poorep]

No pics of the elven queen yet. It will probably be take a few more LN volumes before she appears.

Spoiler for Elven queen:

I'm not even going to bother trying to translate her name, have no idea how to make it resemble a name in English.

Based on what has been said of her appearance, think of her as the stereotypical blonde elven beauty, ramped up to eleven. Put it this way: MC who has been banging high class whores on a regular basis and has Lulu by his side (who has been described as having top class idol looks), was smitten by her on first sight.

As for her being the elven queen, I see her as more of the elder of the elves, seeing as she's the oldest elf currently awake. Her age is in the billion (or is it millions?) range.

MC has stated that due to her age, he will probably need to court her for at least 10 years for her to take him seriously as a suitor. Though the side stories seem to indicate otherwise.

As for spells...

Spoiler for Spells:

Yea, the main problem he faces with magic (not that he is not already OP at it) is that he is unable to pronounce incantations properly. This prevents MC from learning spells the conventional way. Much of his magic arsenal comes from reading scrolls. Due to his OP ability, using a spell scroll adds the spell to his repertoire, and allows him to cast without normal limitations (e.g. incantations, cast time etc.). Furthermore, as spell scrolls can be customised, he abuses the system to learn a crap-load of spells, passing himself off as an avid collector of spell scrolls.

His current limitation is that high-level magic spells cannot be made into spell scrolls, thus to learn high-level magics (which he also theorises to be able to allow him to defeat demon lords without collateral damage and risk), he is currently acquiring a gem that will grant him the incantation skill.

On a side note, the perception of the power of his spells is also subjective, hence his urgent desire to gain access to high level magics. The mid-class fire spell he typically uses was perceived as high class fire magic by some demons, but was regarded as low class magic by a demon lord.
