In the shadows of the Demon Realm, where ancient grudges and forbidden power simmer beneath the surface, a new contender rises. Belger—descendant of a fallen Demon King, swordsman unbound by tradition, and visionary leader—has been summoned to claim a throne coveted by eight rivals, each wielding their own sinister ambitions. But the path to supremacy is paved with peril. As Belger forges unlikely alliances with Isabel, the cunning Sovereign of Jealousy, and Sena, the enigmatic Lord of Sloth, he must outmaneuver deadly adversaries, unravel the secrets of the realm’s fractured factions, and face the ghosts of a history steeped in betrayal. With the magic sword Arkberia in hand and his loyal familiar May at his side, Belger dares to build a sanctuary for homeless demons—challenging the old order and stirring the wrath of power-hungry rivals like Dail, the proud, and Venus, the vengeful. Yet in a land haunted by the lingering Plague and ruled by fear, every step draws Belger deeper into a maze of intrigue and danger. As he confronts hostile territories, uncovers hidden trauma, and weighs the cost of peace against the lure of power, the question remains: Can a demon with a vision for unity survive the relentless trials of the Demon Realm, or will darkness consume his dreams before the crown is claimed? Dare to follow Belger into the heart of demonkind, where loyalty is tested, secrets are deadly, and only the boldest can hope to shape the future. Will he unite a fractured realm, or become its next casualty? **Original Novel:** [Naver Series](https://series.naver.com/novel/detail.series?productNo=9002234), [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/62903111), [RIDI](https://ridibooks.com/books/2008042032), [Joara](https://www.joara.com/book/1710253) **Official Translations:** English
