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?

Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

As soon as those words fell, the Demon nobles started fervently bidding for the item. The atmosphere inside the chamber became heavy. With the promise of power, many demon nobles started bidding fiercely.

"This item looks genuine…" Simon commented. He relied on his keen senses that had been heightened by training and his abstruse demonic eyes to observe the item.

He did not use his appraisal skill since he knew that's what the merchant wanted everyone to do. He was using something to feed wrong information to their appraisal or analysis skill.

The Book of Fire was fiercely bid for and went up as high as [12,000,000] DP in the blink of an eye. In the end, the item was purchased by a Demon Marquess for [15,000,000] DP.

Simon had no interest in such items since he already had the [S] rank burnt sword with him. Compared to the Book of Fire, his Burnt Sword was even a rank higher.
