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

"You are the only one who can sense my presence Vesgard" the bark on Aldebaran parted appearing like a smile.

"Isn't it because you deliberately didn't cover your presence?" the former retorted.

"Haha, even if I didn't cover my presence, believe me it is not so easy to sense me. Anyways, what do you mean by your words?"…

Vesgard was silent for a while, his eyes followed Aldeberan's and stared at the eastern sky of the forest.

"I have known you for a long time to know that your identity is special. You claim yourself as just a simple guardian of this land and the other seven kings seem to be readily accepting that. However, I always had doubts about that"

"I always wondered why this land needed to be guarded. Where did that thing you are protecting come from and what does this forest mean to you? The memories of the world that I have inherited isn't complete as such, I can only make my own assumptions"
