The netherworld, the realm where all demons live, and the monarch who rules is: The Demon King.

However, the demon king's throne has sat empty for ages.

Only the most worthy will inherit this seat of sovereignty, but who will it be?.

------------------------------------------------------------

" So, is it all settled then?" Asked the demon as he handed over the human currency.

"Yes it is! You can take him as soon as you want, we won't be needing him after this!" Replied a blue haired man: Iruma's dad, Mr Suzuki.

"Very well then, it was nice doing business with the both of you."

The demon went back into the netherworld to open another portal to collect his soon-to-be-grandson.

Later did he know a granddaughter will also be making an appearance...

Meet Y/n L/n, age fourteen, currently in the library in the early hours of the morning, trying to find a specific book about a demonic species. How is she in the library at such an inconvenient hour?

Did she break in? Did we the readers break in?

No, you didn't break in, she didn't break in either. Truth is, she just got permission from the head librarian to get this book at such an early hour, no criminal history here folks.

Anyways, she was skimming the titles, a few books in hand, and even more in her bag, that almost fit what she was looking for. It was only when Y/n heard a rustling sound behind her that she paused her search to see where it originated.

The creature Y/n had encountered was... odd to say the least. Even if the lights were all on, the creature seemed to be just shadow. The silhouette didn't even seem to ressemble any normal living being in this world. Before Y/n could properly process that this thing existed in front of her that it started running away as four limbs appeared from its form.

Y/n ran after it, calling for it to come back but it kept going, not even looking behind. The creature ran in between books shelves, under desks and somehow opened doors despite its short size. Y/n followed, jumping over desk, and skidding in corners just to catch up.

By the time the shadow stopped, Y/n was leaning on a desk, breathing heavily but the sight before her took what little breath of hers away. She couldn't believe her eyes, as a hole in the universe began to form, grew, horns sprouting out of its top.

The room began to change appearance as Y/n began to float in the now blood-red room. The portal started to act like a wormhole, sucking all the nearby books into the portal and in consequence, y/n as well.

Y/n frantically tried to flail her arms and legs to get away form the portal, but she frankly looked ridiculous. A fish out of water. Try as she might, even with her desperate efforts to save her own skin, the portal drew her in faster than she could get away. As her feet entered the unknown, y/n closed her eyes, curled herself into a ball, and let the hole take her to her demise...


...or her next adventure.

I wake up.

I realise that I'm in an unfamiliar place.

I panic.

I try to get up.

I'm tied to a blue haired boy, and stuck in some sort of magical bubble.

Said boy is talking to what seems to be a flying old man with horns, who is speaking a strange and occult language.
