Allen Thorne traveled to a magical world and unexpectedly became a Demon Trib, the Demon King feared by all forces of light across the continent. Fully aware that this identity was a certain death sentence, he decisively abandoned the throne of the Demon King and began a path of cleansing and escape, disguising himself as a low-powered Freelance Mage. Using the excuse that he possessed secret techniques to restrain Shadow Creatures, he barely managed to join a team heading to the academy. Everyone in the group had their own hidden agendas, all coveting the secret techniques he claimed to possess. The group ventured into the perilous Shadow Gorge, where dense fog hung thick and the stench was suffocating. The oppressive power of shadow magic made it difficult to breathe. Along the way, a fierce confrontation appeared ahead. Evelyn Morningstar, one of the four chief apprentices of the Radiant Magic Academy, was facing dozens of ferocious Shadow Creatures. The Freelance Mage's group was overjoyed and hurried toward her seeking protection, unaware that the Allen beside them was the very Demon King feared by the Shadow Creatures. Allen feigned panic while quietly assessing the situation. Thus began a survival trial in the magical world where he had to conceal his true identity.
