Yuta Zeno was just a gentle storyteller with dreams of kindness until his own family sold him into the demon realm. In Lord Elrien’s cursed castle, he tries desperately to remain invisible among the other human slaves, but fate has other plans.

Lord Elrien Vernom is the plague demon of Acasya, born once every century to bring ruin to all who cross his path. Cursed to transform into a serpent every full moon, he feeds on blood and fear, his heart frozen by centuries of betrayal. He kills without hesitation, loves without mercy, and rules with an iron fist that has never known gentleness.

But when a mysterious white-haired human tends to his wounds in the forest—not knowing he’s healing the most dangerous creature alive, something stirs in Elrien’s dead heart. 
In a realm where demons feast on despair and love is the cruelest curse of all, can Yuta’s gentle heart melt the ice around a demon lord’s soul? Or will the shadows that made Elrien a monster prove too powerful for even the brightest light to penetrate?

My Demon Master Is An Adorable Snake

Evening was coming fast, and Yuta felt his stomach twist with nerves. Soon he would have to report to Lord Elrien's chambers to begin his duties as personal attendant. The thought made his hands shake as he gathered his few belongings.

He looked down at his small snake companion, who was coiled peacefully in his makeshift bed. "Come on, Shadow," he whispered. "I need to wash before I see his lordship. I can't show up dirty."

The snake's red eyes opened and fixed on him with what seemed like understanding. Yuta carefully scooped it up, feeling the warm weight of its body against his chest.

"I can't leave you here alone," he said softly. "What if someone tries to hurt you while I'm gone?"

He made his way through the castle corridors toward the servants' bathing area—a small lake fed by natural springs that the slaves were allowed to use. The water was always cold, but it was clean, and that was more than many places offered.
