In a world ruled by Levels, Status, and Sovereigns, weakness is a death sentence. Found in the dirt as a baby and raised by a loving human mother, Alain Alric grew up under the cold, watchful eyes of a kingdom that despised him. Born with unnatural, glowing crimson eyes—the universal mark of a demon—his adoptive father treats him like an unwanted curse, while the world sees him as a ticking time bomb. Determined to break free from his frail body, Alain relies on his razor-sharp intelligence, tactical mind, and relentless spirit to climb the ranks of the Adventurer's Guild, leveling up step-by-step in a system that favors raw power. But Alain harbors a truth even he doesn't fully understand: He is not a human, nor is he a monster by choice. He is the biological son of the Abyssal Monarch—the strongest Devil across the four continents. Cast away by a mother who sacrificed everything to save his life from a father who tried to slay him for his gentle soul, Alain’s very blood is a target for both heaven and hell. To survive the encroaching war between the Human Kingdom, the Demon Lords, and the apex beasts of the deadly Ashen Expanse, Alain must level beyond mortal limits. He will not just conquer the Guilds. He will not just claim his heritage. He will bridge the gap between all races, crush the tyrant gods of the old world, and ascend to a throne higher than the heavens themselves.
