Bro! You wouldn’t believe this! Everything was normal. Me and my bros doing some mining for mana gems for that old sockethole, Somanda like we always do all day, everyday. Me, Fractures, Bonet, Mono-socket, Broadbone and the gang. Then from nowhere, that ungrateful sockethole, Somanda tries to END me! Can you believe that?! I mean, I have told some questionable stories about him caressing my skull affectionately and deeming me his prized undead, but no need to axe a skeleton for something like that, right? RIGHT?! I managed to escape through one of the most convenient and contrived get-aways in all of undead history, even managing to pull a bony one on the Lich bastard by stealing two of his seemingly important possessions which I find out later to be better than I thought they’d be! From there it’s a just a SPIRAL of boneshit left and right! I can’t catch a break! What’s with this atrocious luck, bro?! A voice speaks to me about how I have qualified for something about a something that’s supposedly something’s something! Then I find myself in a new world that reeks of life and gives my bones a disgusted rattle. Powerful beasts and men are at every turn, all lining up to be a huge pain in my PELVIS! GAAAAH! Jeez this is happening too fast! However, even while I’m in the thick of this, the one saving grace is that I got something worth while! A new path of power! I can NOT be an undead! I can be something better than both the Living and the Dead! Immune to the antics from both sides. Well... most of them! I’m no longer on the path for Undeath! Only Lifelessness awaits me! I’m the one who transcends reality in this tale! I am... SKULLIUS! And I’m not an UNDEAD! ......

Azael was the strongest living thing ever—the last Demon King in his true form. He crushed worlds, broke gods, and reigned above all creation. Until the day he was stabbed in the back. Deprived of his potency and murdered among the gods, his name was to be removed from history. But fate had other plans. He wakes up in a weak human body, powerless for the first time in his life. Weak. Mortal. Insignificant. But a king does not bow. A god does not beg. Azael will rise again—at any cost. But as he tries to regain his lost power, he learns an awful truth: The world he has come back to is not the world he left. Creatures unlike any he has ever faced hunt the remains of humanity. And a power beyond gods or demons watches from the dark, waiting for him to fall. To continue living, he must do exactly what he has never done — adapt, change, and follow in the footsteps of those he used to label as weak. But the more he fights, the more he starts to wonder: Is he still Azael the Demon King? Or has he turned into something else altogether?

"I'm not impressed." He said and Kalina guessed the laughter in his words. "Still." She returned, trying to match his amusement and completely failing. That man had a knack for annoying her, that was for sure. ¿Why? Kalina didn't know for sure. She felt a little stupid about the discovery, but there was something else. Something attracted her to him, that was undeniable.

In a realm where the universe is composed of interconnected realms inhabited by various races, the demon lord led a lonely existence despite his unparalleled strength. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he saved Lucian, a human kidnapped by demons during an invasion on Earth. Lucian became the demon lord's storyteller, sharing tales of ordinary human life—of love, companionship, and warmth, things the demon lord had never known. As the demon lord grew enamored with the simple yet profound joys of human existence, he longed for a life as an ordinary human. Even the allure of an awakener's life, filled with luxury and prestige, paled in comparison to the beauty the demon lord sees in the life of an ordinary human. Amidst these desires, a formidable challenge arose. More than a thousand demons, fueled by envy and fatigue of the demon lord's rule, gathered to overthrow him. Realizing his end was near, the demon lord granted Lucian a single wish—to return him to the human realm. Lucian's wish was granted, but at a great cost; the demon lord sacrificed his life to save Lucian and destroyed the portal, preventing further demon invasions for a century. In this realm, a brilliant yet eccentric scientist sought to create beings capable of controlling all elements, a feat no one had achieved. He kidnapped orphans and conducted experiments funded by Mr. Tilo, a wealthy but scorned figure in society. Success came when one the orphans gave birth to a child that was an awakener. The baby was killed by Mr. Tilo, but fortunately the soul of the demon Lord entered the baby and thus the start of his ordinary live. The demon lord would have to fight greater enemies to protect his ordinary life and the people he love.

But when fate drags her to the icy mountains, straight into the cold, deadly arms of Prince Kaelith, she finds herself in a battle of wills with the most untouchable creature in the demon realm. Kaelith is ruthless, unreadable, and completely uninterested in love. Yet, when Ember boldly declares she’ll make him fall for her, something in his monstrous heart stirs. He warns her to leave while he still has control—but she’s not leaving without a ring on her finger. Just as Ember begins to unravel the prince’s guarded soul, his father...the powerful and enigmatic Demon King...sets his sights on her. Now, trapped between a prince who refuses to love her and a king who desires her for reasons unknown, Ember must navigate a world of dark seduction, ancient rituals, and a festival that will determine her fate. Because in this kingdom, marriage isn’t just a contract...it’s a war. And Ember is caught right in the middle. A sizzling enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance full of tension, dark allure, and forbidden temptation. The question isn’t who she’ll choose...the question is who will claim her first.

If there was an award for the unluckiest guy alive, Leonis Asher would win it. Hands down. One minute, he's the Dungeon Master feared across realms—powerful, undefeated, and surrounded by enemies. The next, he's dead. Betrayed by those he trusted most. Just when he thinks it’s the end, he wakes up in a body that isn’t his. Scratch that. A life that isn’t his. Because Leonis Asher is now Leo Ashbourne—a sickly fool at Arcane Academy who can’t cast a spell without blowing something up. Mocked, underestimated, and constantly reminded that he’s the weakest student in his year, Leo’s life is one humiliating disaster after another. And now it’s Leonis’s problem. Great. Just great. As if things weren’t already bad enough, his new roommate is Damien Nightshade—the Demon Prince in disguise, sent to find the prophesied mage with a dungeon system powerful enough to decide the fate of the war between demons and mortals. Unaware that his clueless, overconfident, and annoyingly nosy roommate is the very target he seeks. Now, Leonis has to survive in a body so weak it can’t handle a light breeze, let alone the simplest of spells, plot revenge on those who killed him in his previous life, put his bullies in their place, and figure out why his new life comes with a 'mischievous' Dungeon System that seems determined to make everything ten times harder. All that in addition to keeping his true identity hidden from the Demon Prince who wants him dead. Yep. His new life was this troublesome. Worse still there's a brewing war between demons and mortals and his powers just so happen to be at the center of it all. Surviving magic academy is already hard enough. Surviving as the key to a war that could tear the world apart? That’s a death sentence.
