This is the story of a young noble devil within the Xertzul Abyss. Spoiled and dotted on since birth, James is your typical arrogant young master. He bullies and beats anyone he can find with the help of his butler Azon. His good days come to end though when he unlocks a useless Dao and is labeled as trash by his devil clan. With his fall from grace, James has to learn the value of hard work and effort if he ever wants to find his place within the heartless Abyss.

This is a true weak to strong story focusing on an evil protagonist. James has no moral compass and is riddled with character flaws that are fixed by his character development. If you want to skip Volume 1's character progression start reading at chapter 69 it is a full recap that allows you to start reading Volume 2.

This novel has logical character and strength development while the MC is given very little plot armor to help him along his path. In fact, most of the time the plot actively works against the mc.

Volume 2:

Seeing no further prospects under the protection of his clan Soulless (James) heads out alone in the cold dark Abyss. More mature themes are explored as the Soulless comes of age as an adult. His hopes, focus, and drive change as he matures through adulthood learning to stand on his own two feet. Mc starts to grow a little OP.

Volume 3:

Soulless embarks on a quest to the Western Frontier to create his own fief. By now the Mc is Op & Evil Incarnate.

Devil's Rise

<p>Unfortunately for the Stegosaurus it met me, an Apex Predator, today. I would claim its pitiful life to practice my Slaughter Dao while feasting on its bones and blood. I released my <Hollow Aura>, and unsheathed Freedom & Destiny, as I charged at the Stegosaurus. Daddy's having Stegosaurus steak tonight!</p>

<p>The Stegosaurus looked at me as I started my grand charge, his eyes were filled with a strange amount of intelligence. He gazed upon me with questioning eyes as he felt my <Hollow Aura> then turned his head away and lifted it to the sky, like I wasn't even worth noticing. The damned Stegosaurus was looking down on me! Have I fallen so far that even mindless beasts could look down on my <Hollow Aura>?</p>
