[A soul forsaken by the Gods and a body on the verge of death - The Darklord of the Endless Abyss has noticed your existence and is offering you a contract. Will you accept?]

As he lay on unfamiliar land, his body covered in wounds and blood, Levi heard the voice of providence that he had craved for years.

In a magnificent and mutated future, the advancement of technology and space exploration has opened new paths unknown to humanity. Being the curious creatures they are, and with hopes of saving the dying Earth suffering from resource depletion, humans began to explore these unknown lands.

It was there that they discovered the treasures of the otherworld - artifacts and magical items that defied all scientific knowledge. But along with these treasures, humans also encountered dangerous and vicious monsters capable of tearing them apart with a flick of their fingers.

However, humans were persistent. The treasures of the otherworld were too enticing to ignore. They struggled against the odds and found a way to fight these monsters by making contracts with the gods.

The gods of the unknown lands bestowed extraordinary powers upon humans in exchange for the promise of extinguishing all the monsters. But not everyone was so fortunate, like Levi, who failed to pique the interest of any gods, and became one of the Forsaken.

The Gods had forsaken him, so Levi decided to forsake the world - he made a contract with the Demon King himself!

Forsaken By The Gods, I Made A Contract With the Demon King

The afternoon found me in Professor Marcus's classroom, fighting to stay awake despite my earlier rest. Unlike the stark military efficiency of Professor Vale's room, this one was decorated with colorful banners bearing the symbols of various Paradise factions.

Professor Marcus himself was a stark contrast to our morning instructors. While Professor Vale and Valerius radiated power and authority, Instructor Marcus had a scholarly air about him. His silver-streaked brown hair was perpetually messy, and his round glasses kept sliding down his nose as he sorted through his notes.

The class got quite at the professor's arrival.

Not many had picked this class as their elective, it was fairly visible by the number of students present in the class.

There were no familiar class and it was understandable since most of the children would have learned about these things when they were young.
