Demon Lord 2099 is based on the Fantasia Bunko light novel series written by Daigo Murasaki and illustrated by Kureta. Yen Press describes the book's plot as follows:
The cyberpunk city of Shinjuku—a sprawling city-state adorned with neon lights, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in the year 2099 of the Unification Era, that the legendary Demon Lord Veltol is about to usher in the next five centuries. But this scene is unlike the one he conquered years ago, as the fusion of magic and engineering has raised civilization to unprecedented heights of brilliance. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his!
The light novel began publication in 2021 and has three volumes as of June 2023. It won the Alternate Dimensions category of the 33rd Fantasia Awards. The series originally inspired a now-discontinued manga adaptation by Kiiro Akashiro. A new adaptation by Kan Sakurai began serialization in Shonen Ace Plus in March 2023.
