Darkness reigned before the dawn of light...

Who would have thought that his mundane life would take a chilling turn one day? Trapped in the monotony of his office existence, Simon suddenly finds himself thrust into an extraordinary realm beyond imagination.

Death was merely the beginning...

When Simon opened his eyes next, a fantastical landscape vastly different from his familiar office cubicle awaited him. A marvellous sight, a different world. 

The cruel life...

Althaea, a realm of merciless brutality where the law of survival dictates: eat or be eaten, kill or be killed.

Born not as a human...
 
Simon emerges as a demon, a being shunned by humanity and embroiled in a relentless war between humans and demons. The Seraphims, protector of humanity, and the Demon lords who rule across all demonkind. Amidst all the chaos, he must navigate the treacherous hierarchy of demonkind as one of the lowest-ranking Demon Nobles.

The unique power...

The art of dungeon creation—a golden opportunity to ascend above the chaos and establish his dominion. 

With power comes adversaries...

Now he must delve deeper, unveil its hidden powers and forge alliances that will dictate his fate. Fight rival demons, vengeful seraphims, and ancient evils who were up to no good. 
.
Join Simon on his odyssey through a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where every step forward is fraught with danger and every decision could mean life or death.
Will he rise to the challenge and defy the odds, or will he succumb to the unforgiving darkness that threatens to consume him?

"Hehe, it'll be problematic if you all get disturbed over just that after all, there are too many surprises left for you people from the Ellesmere Kingdom to see," Oman thought internally.

The final round of the 'Battle Royale' concluded with a slight twist. Out of the initial, 780 participants, only 70 went up to the next stage. Cyrus walked up to the main stage and declared in a loud voice.

"With the conclusion of the last round of the first stage of battle royale, I now announce the end of the first stage of the tournament. The second stage of the Battle of the Finest tournament will begin tomorrow".

"The 480 or so brave participants who will be moving onto the next stage will be divided into 5 groups. All competitors in each group will have to participate in 3 fights and the top ten most outstanding participants from each group that is 50 in total would be selected for the next stage of the tournament".
