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

Everybody was pondering the option when Alvara spoke once again.

"I know I am asking too much, if possible I would have liked to stake my life in the line instead of Marba. However, I see no other option to take this man down. I know I am being selfish but I don't want to see my brother being manipulated to kill his own people anymore. Of course, we will go with this plan only if Marba herself agrees".

The mage Marba who was at the back of the formation, clutched her staff tightly. Her face looked pale and her body trembled ever so slightly. Clearly, she was nervous when such a large responsibility was put on her shoulders. Nevertheless, the girl put up a bright smile and nodded her head.

"Haha, don't worry about me, I will do it. Just like you, I want Sir Cyrus to rest too. He was someone noble and helped orhpans like us to walk the right path when we were young. If it's for him, then even if it costs me my life I shall help set him free".
