Experiencing life is something that many believe is useless, either because of the limited amount of life that living beings have or because of the ease of being killed in this world full of dangers. The Law of Death was something that frightened all creatures except one.
The Supreme Existence, Lucifer.
Amidst the dark era of Chaos and Destruction, the being called the Demon ruled tyrannically for a time declared immeasurable. Many legends about his power were created, the true ruler who confronted and killed more than 5 trillion heroes was Armageddon incarnate.
Just hearing the creature's name, some trembled and others considered killing themselves, as they felt that the demon's eyes were on them.
Little by little in the darkness, approaching to pick them up and dismember them slowly, piece by piece, and then move on to their next prey.

"Enough of these stories, Angela, you know very well that the Demon King is in precarious situations right now, and because of that he is hiding in some lesser demon tribe." (?????)
The authoritative voice of the golden-haired, red-eyed lady acted like a demanding thunder, she poured her seriousness into that declaration of hers.
Looking at the location of these people in another way, everyone was around a bonfire in a dark forest, their melancholic air was strangely scary, there was a feeling of being constantly watched.
"Come on Claire, it's just a story, besides… We're two hero class, we have to warn the others not to approach the Demon King if they see him." (Angela)
Answered the beautiful girl seriously. She had cool green eyes and fiery red hair.
"Although we were only able to save one survivor, te-he." (Angela)
The girl tried to sound friendly, but there was clear disappointment in her voice. Angela felt incompetent because of it.
Claire sighed, feeling helpless in the face of it. She directed her eyes to a young man in his early 20s, he had beautiful ash black hair and dull blue eyes.
"So, are you better? I know it's hard to know that your village was destroyed, but now it would be nice to move on and have a good life in the city, wouldn't it? We can protect you there." (Claire)
The girl commented in a mixture of ambiguity and sadness, if she was a little faster... Maybe that explosion could be stopped.
"I... I want to be a wizard." (?????)
The two girls looked at that with surprise, these days, mages fought on the front lines to the death depending on their affinity with magic.
"If that's your decision, fine, why don't you join our group then?" (Claire)
Her question was amusing, she showed a good interest in the young man.
"It will be a pleasure, having two heroines to protect me is impressive in itself." (?????)
The young man smiled in amusement, that would be a good experience.
"By the way, what's your name?" (Angela)
The young man cracked a slight smile at that question.
"Although my name is well recorded in history, I think that by an unfortunate coincidence, my name is Lucifer." (Lucifer)
The two girls froze for an instant, and they almost exploded in murderous intent, yet they held back their power and forced a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lucifer." (Angela)
She said with a lot of hesitation.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Angela and Mrs. Claire, I hope we get along well, and please don't call me sir." (Lucifer)
"Yes, I hope we get along, you don't have to call me ma'am either." (Claire)
"My mate's words are mine." (Angela)
The three smiled at each other. Angela and Claire released a huge sigh and shook hands with Lucifer with some hesitation, did he really have to be named that?
"It seems that my name is complicated even for heroines... In that case, why don't you name me in a way that you find comfortable? If we are going to work together, we need to have a good relationship." (Lucifer)
The two looked at each other and thought deeply about it, and shortly after they smiled happily.
"Very well, we'll call you Luci so we won't confuse you with our biggest opponent!" (Angela)
Angela stepped forward and declared, thus leaving Claire speechless.
The young man had a bead of sweat form on his forehead, so he answered with hesitation.
"Isn't that a little too girly?" (Lucifer)
Angela just directed an amused smile at Lucifer, he just lowered his head with a disappointed air.

It's been 1 year and 6 months since that warm encounter. After that time, Lucifer discovered how the magical, economic, culinary and many other systems that governed the Human Kingdom worked.
The most surprising thing was the human technological advance that deserves a quote at another time. As much as time was not a real problem, in this small world among many others, time did not exist, no one was affected, and due to this there was no concept of death from age or even limitations imposed by time.
The Magic System was something simple to understand, basically, it was formed by magic levels and resistances and as the magic level goes up, the resistance also goes up. If you don't have resistance at a certain level, magic attacks hit you regardless of the situation, and deal damage too.
The Realms, Evolution and Upgrade grids are as follows; Firstly, we have Bronze grade skills that go from level 0 to level 20, Silver grade that goes from level 21 to level 50, Gold grade that goes from level 51 to level 100, Platinum grade that goes from level 101 to level 500, Diamond grade ranging from level 501 to level 1,000 and many others with very absurd levels.
There are beings like the Heroes and the Demon King, these who manage to be beyond most if not all Realms/Evolutions. Because they are naturally things that must exist, conventional internal and external beings cannot affect them other than themselves.
And now, the great Demon King, the Satan Traitor and the one who chose evil over the Kingdom of Heaven with his father was pretending to be a futile human existence.
He could decimate entire nations if he wanted to, but he was living a human life these days and worst of all, the great King was a companion of the heroines. Now, Lucifer, Angela, and Claire were in a wooden carriage nearing the next town.
"I wonder why the Queen of Hephate Realm summoned us at such a time." (Angela)
"Is there a coup d'état going on?" (Claire)
The two had their own concerns. Lucifer was more mindful of reading a book on human technological energy, not that it was difficult to understand or understand. His mind encompassed even the limits of space-time.
"What do you read so much, Luci? Stop reading that and pay attention to us." (Angela)
Lucifer took his focus off the reading for a moment and turned to the girls, then he smiled beautifully at the women.
"What's the problem?" (Lucifer)
"You really weren't paying attention." (Claire)
She sighed for a moment and then continued.
"The Queen of the Kingdom of Hephate called us, but there was no explanation or information about the call." (Angela)
Lucifer for a moment sought to understand this situation first of all. His mind wandered for about 0.2 seconds before coming up with a few thousand good theories about what could have happened.
"I can think of two good possibilities, one of which would be for a meritorious tribute to you for your achievements, thus offering things like food, jewelry and maybe even men." (Lucifer)
He theorized deftly. Soon, he began to explain the second possibility.
"There could also have been a catastrophe in which it cannot be controlled, a Continental threat is a good example, such as a demon leader or even a high value mystical object." (Lucifer)
The two girls hardened their faces at that second possibility, not that they couldn't handle a threat of that magnitude. However, like every human, they were too lazy to do such heavy work.
Commenting on the demon leader made Claire reflect. She realized that Lucifer was above the standards of intelligence, above even a true genius born in 100 million years, he was truly intelligent.
"I didn't expect you to memorize the demon categories so quickly, I'll do my best to bring you more books for you to study." (Claire)
The girl smiled contemplating the evolution of her companion. Angela noticing that she was being left out puffed her cheeks up like two big fluffy balloons.
"Luci! Pay attention to me! Didn't you realize that I want to be held?!" (Angela)
Lucifer felt a drop of sweat trickle down the back of his neck. Moving in a swift manner with her hand, he slammed it repeatedly against his calf. Such a move was a green light for the girl's claim.
Angela wasted no time before reaching across the carriage and laying her head on Lucifer's calf, who had an indifferent expression on her face.
Claire followed Angela's movement and sat next to Lucifer, but instead of laying her head in Lucifer's lap, Claire leaned over him and closed her eyes quietly.
The situation remained the same, until Lucifer finally managed to collect his thoughts and ask himself how the situation had gotten to this point?!
