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

When the light from the ancient symbols touched it, it was as if the spectre had met its natural enemy. Its agonising scream rang all across the space of the formation.

"It is weak to the power of the Ancient Symbols!!" Vincent made an amused expression at the unexpected discovery of the enemy's weakness.

[Kuhh… How dare you low class creatures harm this king's body. I'll incinerate your souls and make your bodies into one of my brood offerings… KIEEE!!!]

The spectre lashed out but before it could say much with that foul mouth of its, the light from the ancient symbols dropped down on it once again.

"Shut up!" Vincent snapped, his voice sharp as a blade. "You'll only speak when told to. If you spout any more nonsense, I'll personally incinerate your soul."
