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

I could feel the powerful vitality emanating from the tree, although it could not take root in my purple-gold ring. It would survive for a time. I would have to find a place to plant it before it perished.

I gathered all the corpses of the slain Titanoboas and didn't see any sign of Shi Da around the tree. He wasn't within the snake head's belly, so I headed back to the cave to see how Shi Da survived his melee with the Titanoboa.

Chubs had a new respect for me after witnessing the battle, of course the cowardly turtle didn't participate. Even though he was a Viscount, he was only good for ferrying this young lord around the garden.

As soon as I got back to the cave, I noticed Shi Da secluded within his room with countless injuries. His arrogant pride had caused him to bite off more than he could chew engaging the Viscount Titanoboa.
