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

During our heated exchange, the red raptor kicked me square in the chest with his massive claws while the other distracted me. Luckily, I jumped back, avoiding his claw successfully piercing through my chest.

I had to end this battle quickly to heal before I passed out from blood loss. This was the direst situation this young lord had ever been in. But somehow I felt alive for the first time. Bloodlust clouded my mind.

"Ahhh," I screamed as I dived back towards the raptors!

I hacked and slashed in a whirlwind at the two raptors. They would die at my hands before they could take out this young devil lord. I had exhausted most of my essence after swiftly executing the leader, so battling the other two raptors was becoming more and more difficult as time went on.
