"Are you ready?"
" I am. So do I just sign the contract?"
"Yes, Ms. Yamada, if you are satisfied with the terms and conditions." His confident voice teased. His tone hinted that there were things that she could not see. But what could she even do? She was a girl with no choices. This was her only ticket to freedom.
Gulping, she picked up his pen and signed her name. She observed him do the same. He indeed was the most beautiful man she had ever seen; no wonder people are always so crazy about him. Stamping the document, he held out his hand. She nervously placed her sweaty palms onto his cool, smooth hand. Bringing it close to his lips, he gently kissed her knuckles. His cool, soft lips felt like a single snowflake melting on her hand.
"Always a pleasure... especially with you." He said in a cool, teasing voice, his gaze never leaving hers. The words hung in the air between them, smooth as velvet and just as dangerous. There was no rush, no force, just an undeniable tension that hung between them.

In a world abandoned by the gods, Makai-shi-the City of Demons-stands as a shattered reminder of what once was. The people, divided between the privileged elite and the desperate masses, struggle to survive in a society built on corruption, greed, and fear.
At its heart is Ryuto Kuroda, a ruthless man whose rise to power was born from darkness. Though his reign is absolute, it is a fragile one built on blood. Saki Yamada is a woman who has lost everything. Trapped in a cycle of despair, she sees no way out-until Ryuto offers her a deal she cannot refuse. Bound by ink and blood, their fates are now forever entwined.
But the price of survival in Makai-shi is steep. With each passing day, Saki finds herself torn between loyalty, revenge, and a growing attraction. Can she find her way to freedom, or will the weight of the contract drag them both into a future of damnation?
