So, you're a fan of *isekai* anime, huh? Specifically, the one where a hardcore gamer gets transported into his RPG as the ridiculously overpowered Demon Lord Diablo? And, let's be honest, you're probably crushing on the adorable, yet surprisingly strong, pantherian girl, Rem. But let's just focus on her summoning ritual.
Rule #1: Avoid Strange Artifacts at All Costs
Seriously. If you find a weird, glowing orb in your basement, leave it alone. If it hums, throbs, or smells faintly of brimstone, back away slowly.
Don't be like that guy in the anime, *Takuma Sakamoto*, who just casually touches everything that looks remotely interesting.
Rule #2: Resist the Urge to Cast Unknown Spells
We all know that feeling: you stumble upon a dusty old spellbook (maybe online?) and think, "Hey, I wonder what this does?" Don't. Just don't.
Particularly if the spell involves binding, servitude, or summoning anything from the depths of… well, anywhere.
Rule #3: Keep Your Mana in Check
Assuming mana is real (which, hopefully, it isn't), don't go overboard with it. If you start feeling an unusual surge of energy accompanied by a desire to dominate the world, maybe take a nap. Or eat a banana.
Something to ground you, you know? Diablo had too much mana, and look where it got him.
Rule #4: Be Wary of Elf and Pantherian Girls Offering Contracts
This might seem specific, but hear me out. If a ridiculously cute girl with pointy ears or feline features approaches you with a contract that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Read the fine print. Twice.
And maybe get a lawyer. A really good one. Especially if they mentioned *enslavement*.
Rule #5: If All Else Fails, Embrace the Awkwardness
Okay, so you messed up. You found the orb, you cast the spell, and now Rem (or some other equally powerful being) is standing in your living room. What do you do?
First, apologize profusely. Second, try to act as normal as possible. Offer her tea, explain what a TV is, and for the love of all that is holy, don't try to activate her slave crest! Seriously, it never ends well.
Bonus Tip: Remember the Power of Kindness
Ultimately, Rem's story is about more than just summoning rituals and demon lords. It's about friendship, loyalty, and overcoming past traumas. If you do somehow find yourself in charge of a powerful, yet vulnerable, summon, treat her with respect.
Show her kindness, offer her support, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself with a loyal companion instead of a raging demon at your command.
Food for thought
And hey, even if you do end up accidentally becoming a Demon Lord with two adorable girls vying for your attention, just remember to stay true to yourself. Just like *Takuma*, try to do the right thing, even when it's difficult.
And maybe invest in some magical resistance potions, just in case.
