A damnable transmigration—otaku Raymond Brooks is reborn into the miserable body of a human who has fallen into the demon realm. Facing the legendary evil demon race, the proud fallen dragon clan, ferocious demonic beasts, and all kinds of powerful enemies, will this human with a mysterious system choose to stand atop the mountain as the peak, or become the fish on the chopping block?

Watch as this humble otaku treads carefully, blooming with every step, and writes the greatest son-in-law legend of the demon realm.

The story begins when the male protagonist is deceived in both body and mind by the little demon princess Alice...

This is not a pure “rocket-upgrade” novel; there’s passion, there’s daily life, and there’s the shameless author’s harem complex. The setting borrows to some extent from the classic Heroes of Might and Magic—if you dislike that, please detour.

Whether it’s the characters’ laughter and anger, the ups and downs of the plot, or some unintentional moment, if it can resonate with you and move you, that’s what I want to achieve, and it’s my greatest success.

Perhaps this isn’t a light novel in the strictest sense, but it is the light novel in my own heart. If I write it with all my heart, even if I fail, I’ll have no regrets.

About the Work

Demon Realm Setting

I. Overview of the Demon Realm Map:

The Fallen Angel Empire is in the south, with the Shadow Empire to the northwest and the Blood Fiend Empire to the northeast.

To the east of the Dark Moon Territory is the Crimson Nether Territory, to the south is the Blue Melt Territory. To the west are the Xilang Mountains, which connect the Dark Moon Territory and the Shadow Empire.

II. Race Introduction:

The starting strength of demons is much higher than that of humans in the surface world, but they have low plasticity and little room for growth. For humans, regardless of talent, everyone starts at about the same level after birth. For demons, the difference in rank is obvious from birth, but after reaching adulthood, they can only reach a certain upper limit, and advancing further is extremely difficult. The higher the rank of the demon, the greater the potential for advancement.

The most noble race in the demon realm is the royal family.

The royal family, like the top human powerhouses, possesses unlimited potential and exerts a natural war pressure over ordinary demons in battle. Their greatest strength lies in the special innate abilities in their bloodline, which can unleash terrifying power.

The three great royal families are: the Richard Foster royal family of the Fallen Angel Empire, the Harold Clark royal family of the Blood Fiend Empire, and the Edgar Bennett royal family of the Shadow Empire. In addition, four other royal family empires have perished, and their descendants have either submitted or gone into hiding.

Besides the royal family, common demon races in the demon realm include Scythe Demons, Succubi, Horned Demons, Imp Demons, and Lesser Demons.

Scythe Demons, also known as Greater Demons, are the highest-ranking demons apart from the royal family. They are born as powerful warriors, skilled in various weapons, and can freely choose to cultivate either the spiritual or strength path, or even both. Some Greater Demons with mutated bloodlines can possess even greater power. The normal upper limit for Greater Demons is High-Rank Demon, but mutants can break through the bottleneck to reach an even higher level.

Horned Demons are physically strong, brave, and fearless, making them the best vanguard in battle. Some can also become skilled blacksmiths. Their normal upper limit is Mid-Rank Demon.

Imp Demons are physically weak but possess strong magical power. Some gifted individuals have the ability to command demonic beasts. Their normal upper limit is Mid-Rank Demon.

Succubi are a purely female demon race, specializing in the spiritual path, with a soul-captivating charm. The probability of giving birth to females is extremely high; as long as it’s a girl, she will definitely be a succubus. Their normal upper limit is Mid-Rank Demon.

Lesser Demons are the lowest class of demons, mostly serving as cannon fodder on the battlefield. High-level Lesser Demons have the ability to create illusions that confuse people, and a very small number of mutants can advance to become Scythe Demons.

Dark Elves and Dark Goblins are vassal races. Dark Elves are skilled in stealth, assassination, and poison, and a few possess outstanding magical talent, able to become evil mages stronger than Imp Demons.

Dark Goblins are short and ugly, lacking combat ability, but their creativity is astonishing. They excel at handicrafts and invention, and a few exceptional individuals can become master alchemists.

Due to the special power of the demon realm’s twin moons, there is no such thing as mixed blood among the races in the demon realm. Even if two different races mate, their offspring will randomly belong to either the father’s or the mother’s race.

Fallen Dragon Clan: So-called “fallen” is a term from the surface world, referring to dragons who choose to live in the demon realm, including Poison Dragons, Black Dragons, Crystal Dragons, etc. In addition, the demon realm also has powerful races such as Evil Eyes and Elementals, as well as various demonic beasts with low intelligence but great strength.

III. Power Levels:

There are eight power levels in the demon realm.

Low-Rank Demon, Mid-Rank Demon, High-Rank Demon, Demon King, Great Demon King, Demon Emperor, Demon Sovereign, Demon Lord.

Each level is a watershed, not only with huge differences in power, but also a certain degree of rank suppression. For example, a Mid-Rank Demon will find it very difficult to exert their full combat power in front of a High-Rank Demon.

Although there is no rank suppression between individuals of the same level, there are still differences in strength. For example, a veteran High-Rank Demon at the peak of their power can at least defeat ten newly advanced High-Rank Demons.

Demon Lord is the legendary highest realm. It is said that their power can make even the gods wary, but there has never been a demon known to have reached the level of Demon Lord.
