For centuries, the Veil has stood as the final barrier between the world of the living and the infernal depths of Hell. Forged in forgotten ages, sealed in blood and bone, it has withstood the rise of darkness—but now it is breaking. Cracks spread through its foundation. Shadows seep through the fractures. Cities burn. Kingdoms fall. And the Guardians of the Veil—sworn to keep the world from ruin—stand alone against the tide of annihilation. At their head stands Nyroth Solvain, leader of the Guardians and the last shield between order and oblivion. His strength has held the darkness at bay for years. His blade has never failed. His will has never faltered. But now, another force begins to rise. His son. Elian Solvain, young and untested, carries within him power vast enough to shift the tide of war—or break it entirely. The world looks to him as a symbol of hope. The Guardians believe he may be their greatest weapon. And so does Nyroth. He does not doubt his son. He does not question his potential. He sees the strength in him, the light that could lead them all. But he has seen power like this before—raw, untamed, and capable of reshaping the world in both creation and ruin. Nyroth does not voice his fear. He does not waver. Instead, he hardens himself, shaping Elian into what he must become. Because if Elian does not master his power… it will master him. The Veil is dying. The darkness is rising. And time is running out. Elian must stand. The Guardians must hold. Or the world will fall into ash and ruin.

James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy.

In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.

Caelum had always regarded Zara as more than just his master. She was a mother to him. When she handed him a pill, he swallowed it—no questions asked. But the pill turned out to be a potent poison. Death loomed over Caelum, but he was quick to act and successfully cast a transmigration spell. He was flung four centuries into the future and awakened in the gravely wounded body of a sixteen-year-old noble, Quinn. Yet, betrayal never crossed his mind—only questions. He was a hundred percent certain that in neither universe would Zara ever poison him. In this new era, the mage race was still at war with the undead, but the world had transformed beyond recognition. The Eternal Kingdom had vanished, and four powerful forces had risen, one of them being the Kingdom of Zephirion. Magic had also taken a new turn as origin magics disappeared. Instead, mages had applied different properties to elemental magics, which they called divergent magics. But Caelum was most disturbed that there were no records of the past he had come from. Uncertain of his next steps, Caelum decided to live Quinn’s life while seeking remnants of the past and investigating his predecessor’s death. In no time, Caelum—now Quinn—found trails of the murder, and they pointed him to a powerhouse organization, the Sentinels of Zephirion. But realizing his current power was no match for them, revenge would have to wait. To restore his former battle prowess, Quinn dominated the academy’s challenges. He also earned the opportunity to witness the kingdom’s battlefront against the undead. At the kingdom’s border, the war was one-sided. Hordes of undead were being obliterated by mages. The reason? Two colossal barriers were protecting the mages: one encased the Kingdom of Zephirion, called the inner barrier, and another shielded all four great forces, the outer barrier. But being not only a genius in magic but in arrays as well, Quinn had one big question: what fueled the array? Quinn soon discovered that the inner barrier was being maintained by the Sentinels of Zephirion. His investigation into Quinn's death was reopened as his suspicions grew. Eventually, Quinn learned that the barrier array was fueled by draining the magic essence of countless mages. Worse yet, the core of the array was the very magic essence of his master’s companions. Quinn’s questions now piled up. What had really happened four hundred years ago? Who could have killed his master’s allies, who were SSS+ mages? Despite learning the horrifying truth, Quinn still lacked the strength to act. And so, he chose to gather allies. Once he was strong enough, he exposed the atrocities of the Sentinels of Zephirion to the people. That was when his foes were criticized and found themselves in a difficult position. The Sentinels of Zephirion wanted to eliminate Quinn, but with the protection of Quinn’s allies, they were unable to act openly. As tensions escalated, the royal family intervened and justified the Sentinels of Zephirion’s sacrifices as a necessary evil to maintain the barrier. But Quinn had anticipated this and had a plan. He later revealed an alternative array—one that would create a barrier of equal strength but fueled not by the magic essence of mages but by the collective mana of Zephirion’s mages. That was the final spark that ignited the rebellion. With no reason to fear the disappearance of the barrier, the people rose against both the Sentinels of Zephirion and the royal family. A great war erupted, and the conflict continued for days. In the end, the enemies were defeated. Now that Quinn’s vengeance was fulfilled, he turned his attention to the records of his foes. He was greatly disturbed by the murder of his master’s friends, only to discover that they had not been killed and sacrificed. Instead, they had created the array and willingly sacrificed themselves for one purpose—to protect the future. To protect the future from what?

Renji Kurogane was an otaku and martial arts prodigy with a simple dream—to become an all-powerful demon prince surrounded by a massive harem of beautiful women. Ever since he was a kid, he fantasized about being an unstoppable demon lord, crushing his enemies and having demon princesses and goddesses swoon at his feet. But in reality, Renji was just a goofy, carefree high schooler who loved anime, games, and martial arts. One day, during a school trip with his classmates, fate took a dark turn. Their bus was involved in a horrific accident, and everyone onboard was killed. While his classmates were summoned to a human kingdom to become heroes and fight against the Demon King’s forces, Renji’s destiny took a different path. When Renji opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a luxurious bed in a dark palace, surrounded by powerful demon generals, and sitting before him was a tall, imposing figure with crimson eyes and horns—Lucifer, the Demon King. “Welcome back, my son.” Renji had been reborn as Renji Lucifel, the youngest son of the Demon King. But this wasn’t some ordinary rebirth—Renji quickly realized that he wasn’t just strong… he was absurdly overpowered. His demonic energy surged like a storm, and his body overflowed with magical power greater than even the Demon King himself. He could bend reality with a flick of his hand and instinctively wield powerful dark magic, advanced martial arts, and swordplay without even trying. Even the gods, who stood above creation itself, were wary of his existence. When Renji casually shattered a divine barrier meant to restrain him on his first day awake, the gods started to panic. His father, Lucifer, and his older siblings—who had spent centuries honing their strength—were left speechless as Renji effortlessly outperformed them without even knowing how strong he was. But despite his overwhelming strength, Renji didn’t lose his personality. He remained the same goofy, carefree otaku, cracking jokes and flirting with demon princesses while casually wiping out threats to the demon kingdom. His playful attitude and easygoing nature left the demon nobles both awestruck and bewildered. Things became even more complicated when Renji learned that his classmates—his friends from his previous life—had been summoned as heroes to oppose the Demon King’s forces. While the human kingdom prepared for war, Renji had to decide where his loyalties lay. Should he stand by his new demonic family or reconnect with his old friends? But Renji wasn’t too worried about the conflict—after all, he could crush both sides if he wanted to. His real problem was the growing attention from the most powerful and dangerous women in existence: • The cold and dangerous Demon Princess of Ice starts blushing whenever Renji teases her. • The proud Dragon Queen challenges Renji to a duel, only to immediately propose marriage when he wins. • The mysterious and seductive Goddess of Chaos appears in his bedroom, asking if he’d like to “create a new world” with her. • Even the cold-hearted Demon King himself seems a little too impressed by Renji’s strength. “Wait… why is the Goddess of Love sitting on my lap?” “The Demon Queen wants to make me her king?! “Father… can you please tell the Succubus Queen to stop trying to sneak into my room?” Renji dreamed of becoming a powerful demon prince with a massive harem—and now that dream has become his reality. But with the fate of the world resting on his shoulders and every goddess, princess, and demon queen vying for his attention, Renji’s greatest challenge might just be figuring out how to manage his new life. “Well… this turned out even better than I imagined. Time to enjoy the perks of being the strongest!”
