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

That heartless old devil had thrown me off a cliff!

I didn't know anything about the power structure of the Holy Rossen Empire, how as I supposed to be the one stuck distributing land allotments for our suburban sprawl. My mother had already headed off to another world, so I was on my own. I'll worry about it later then.

This plot of land on the main street though, I'm definitely shamelessly erecting a J-Mart there. I couldn't turn down such a juicy gift, even if I incited the rage of the masses. If they have a problem they can find this lord's grandfather.

J-Mart is a productive business that will surely bring glory to the Holy Rossen Empire!

Now that I was in this position, I wouldn't worry about "fair distribution". I would shamelessly erect as many residencies for my faction as I could inside our suburban sprawl. The other Empires would look down on us if we didn't build up our suburban sprawl.

Lord Soulless, Mayor of Lakeview City!
