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

Facing her contempt, the person named Herm laughed out loud "Kuhahaha… Oh my, I wonder what the guard captain is talking about. I don't remember receiving such grace. To her, I was only just a fallen noble who lost his family, territory and everything, that she too pity on".

"She took me into her merchant guild only because of my ability and experience. In the end, I was only just a pawn for her that she discarded to a remote side region after I ran out of my use"…

"You idiot, the princess only did that because she didn't want you to get caught in the ugly conspiracies of the royal family. This was the reason why she made you the manager of a remote branch. But you…"

"I don't want to hear anything. Do you think I don't know what the real reason was? His Highness the second prince has told me everything. So don't you dare try to use your rosy words to sway me".
