I had managed to calm Phoras and sit across from him in the parlor, but he still seemed frightened and wary of me. However, perhaps because I behaved so tamely, Phoras initiated conversation for the first time. “May I ask you something…?” “What is it?” “How did you enter here…?” “You mean this house?” “Yes.” “Well, obviously through the door.” “I mean… I had protections on the door…” Ah, was that loud crash when I forced the door open caused by…-

“Did you hear? The Holy Empire has dispatched knights.” “Must be some demon worshippers stirring trouble somewhere, huh? This isn’t just a one-day affair.” “No, man, even the Grandmasters and the Vice Commanders are involved.” These past few days, I’ve spent most of my time exploring every nook and cranny of the domain or eavesdropping on conversations to gather information. It’s paid off quite well. Like finding out that this place we’re staying at is part of the Roman…

“I swear, your offers to help are giving me neurosis. What now?” “If you don’t like unnecessary killing, I’ll gather some humans suitable for Jin to eat. I could even kill them for you. Wouldn’t that make things easier for Jin?” I covered my face with both hands again, feeling conflicted. I had explained it before… Clearly, we still had a long way to go. “Don’t worry. I’m not so feeble that I need help from a kid like you. If I wanted, I could blow up this whole domain right…

"Go to sleep." After dinner, I planned to just check on Noah and head back, but he didn't look like he was planning to sleep anytime soon. "Do I need to put you to bed every day?" He really needed to get some rest. I glanced out the window, noticing faint noises and a lingering presence—it seemed the mercenaries from earlier hadn't completely retreated. "Where are you going?" His intuition was too sharp... Without showing my concern, I responded. "Nowhere in the middle of the night.…

By the time we finished dinner, we decided to stay at the biggest and most expensive-looking inn nearby for the night. To respect personal space, we booked two rooms. Just like when I used to tuck in the younger ones at the orphanage, I intended to check on the sleeping arrangements and leave, but the child lying in the bed showed no signs of sleepiness. “Go to sleep. We’re going house hunting tomorrow.” “Okay.” Despite the quiet response, the child couldn’t fall asleep for a long…

Looking at Noah’s body, I involuntarily frowned. There were both recent wounds and old scars, but none of them seemed appropriate for a child to bear. As Noah stepped into the water to wash off the blood, I tried to hide my discomfort and asked him. “How old are you?” “Fifteen.” I couldn’t help but let out a sigh. He looked so young and thin, I thought he was around 10, but he’s actually fifteen. That’s middle school age by modern standards. He looked nothing like the kids I…

“Kid, I don’t know that either. I’m a demon, not one to judge good or evil. That’s something for the gods to handle. I just know whether a soul is mine to take or not.” The child didn’t respond to my words, just looked down. Quick to give up, huh? Considering the world he must have seen and learned from as a Gladiator Slave since he was even younger, it was pretty clear. But pity alone wouldn’t allow me to do more for him. It’ll be okay. It’ll get better. I knew too well that…

“No, I know demons eat souls, but isn’t this a bit too explicit?” Above all, despite never having eaten anything before, the mere smell triggered an overwhelming sense of hunger. It felt like genuine hunger rather than just a feeling. It was only natural for all demons to covet human souls, as they became their power, but regardless, living without consuming souls posed no issues. However, unlike ordinary demons, Archdemons tasked with the seven sins must eat souls to survive, just as humans…

It might sound like I’m full of myself, but for a moment, I thought the curtains were hiding not a window but a masterpiece painting. The lustrous black hair falling below my collarbones, the skin glowing pale against the abyss-dark hair, and even the blood-red eyes. The image mirrored the Demon Lord I saw upon waking up. Yet, if it weren’t for the sinister blend of colors, this face could be mistaken for that of an archangel, not an archdemon. “Is this really my face now? So this is how my…

Lee Hyunjin. 30 years old. Single. Broke up with his girlfriend a few months ago and is currently single. No debt. No savings either. I was an ordinary office worker, too ordinary to describe in detail, who died of overwork due to the extraordinary workload. But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself turned into a demon. Specifically, an Archdemon of the Seven Deadly Sins. I’d have to clean, so I can’t take questions now. 𓆩☾𓆪 For an orphan with no innate abilities, just growing a…
