If you don’t know anything, you might think Blake had a perfect life. Good-looking face that made everyone turn their heads, an athletic physique, photographic memory and a good head that let him ace all of his exams, and also a kind heart to prop it all up.

But you couldn’t be more wrong as in a world where even a three-year-old kid could use mana, Blake was one of the unfortunate ones who couldn’t utilize the magical power that enabled humans to break past their limits and defeat the powerful demons that used nether instead of mana to cast their own demonic spells. 

Looks of disdain, mockeries, and even straight-up bullying were not an uncommon occurrence for him as he had to deal with them every single day. 

One day, the bullies went too far and almost killed him. The pent-up rage and hatred in his heart peaked up as he remembered the faces of his bullies that had beaten him half to death. 

He thought he would finally die when his head was suddenly struck by a severe headache and his eyes went dark. 

But never did he expect when he regained his consciousness he would find a pair of horns on his forehead, sharp claws on the tip of his fingers, and jet black skin covering his body from head to toe.

Follow Blake’s journey as he became the master of the nether and demonic spells, climbing the ranks of the demon realm as he gathered his own demon followers, and finding out the real truth veiled in his home world while creating legends for himself both in the demon world and in the world where he came from.

After saying his last piece, Blake shut both his eyes and mouth, putting all his focus on his ears as he waited for what kind of words would come out of Vera's mouth.


Blake really didn't have a single clue what Vera would say to him after he said all those words earlier nor did he know whether Vera would now deem him as someone annoying and untrustworthy.


Blake was afraid, he was very afraid of what would happen.


Her reactions and what she would think of him after he said those words were outside his power to control and he could only wait in silence as the seconds went by and yet there were still no answers coming out of Vera's mouth yet.


But Blake certainly didn't expect that the first thing that he felt wasn't Vera's words entering his ears yet a soft and delicate touch on his cheeks.


"You were very worried about me, weren't you?"


Very gently supporting his head to look upward with her small and delicate yet strong hands, Vera made Blake's eyes look straight into hers.
