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

"Please excuse me for a second master"

Alric who was standing straight and motionless like a pole beside Maybell, lightly stepped aside. At that very instant, his figure disappeared, he reappeared next to Jordan like a ghost.

He was fast, faster than one could even perceive him. In the split second that he disappeared from the side of his master, he appeared next to Jordan, removed the gloves from his right hand and lightly scratched the other party's skin with his claws before reappearing next to Maybell.

Afterwards, he took out an umbrella from his shadow and methodically unfolded it to cover her behind it.

What just happened? Jordan who was still in mid motion, felt the weretiger's movements. However, the latter was just too fast for his eyes and even his senses to perceive clearly. Before he could understand what had happened in that split second, everything was over.
