Year 1698
Daemonheim, the strongest continent to ever exist in the history of Gaia, came into being.
No one knew from where.But the continent that once prospered with life… turned into the epitome of death.
The demons occupied the land like a swift storm.And from there, they conquered three other continents in the following years.
At one point, the entire Elvenheim—once said to be the strongest continent—was in danger.
This led to two of the greatest wars ever fought.
🗡️ First Great War
The Battle of Elvenheim
Led by the demon Asmodeus, bearer of the Sin of Lust.
The demons were pushed back by the elves, beastkin, and dwarves.But the one who struck fear into Asmodeus—was Arthur Wellington.
The Harbinger of Light.The Destroyer of Demons.The Sword of Destruction.
He single-handedly slaughtered Count-ranked demons and nearly killed a Sin.
The war ended in the year 1732.
🔥 Second Great War
The Battle of Elysium
Because Arthur saved Elvenheim, the demons retaliated by targeting Elysium—his homeland.
This war was led by Tarantula, a Demon King, alongside three ranked demons:
Beezlebub
Ozark
Sabbr'Oth
They attacked from all sides.Chaos mana flooded the land, killing everything in its path.The land twisted, giving birth to a sanctuary for dark arts—mainly necromancers, who would later play a key role in the Third War.
Arthur defeated Tarantula.But in his weakened state, he was absorbed by Beezlebub.
The fall of Arthur Wellington marked two major shifts:
The rise in demon strength.
The crumbling myth of human superiority.
In the years that followed, many humans rose up.And one by one, major-ranked and Count-ranked demons were slain by legendary figures:
The Orc King, Shahalla
The Beastwoman, Petris
The Elven King, Neville
And the King of War, Raphal—a dwarf.
But eventually, most of them were nearly slaughtered by two newly crowned Demon Kings:
Ozark and Sabbr'Oth
'Hmm… the history itself is vague, but interesting,' I thought.I still didn't know the demon ranking system, nor did I find anything about the Third War—only that it was one of the most gruesome wars ever fought.Caused by the rise of curses… and the appearance of an unknown enemy.
Still, I kept reading.There was a bit left.
After a long campaign, Ozark was taken down—leaving a massive scar in the southern ocean, now called:
The Ocean of Chaos.
The ocean is said to be home to some of the worst monsters in existence.
Sabbr'Oth was defeated by:
Alexander Ruth, also known as the Sword Saint
And the Dragon of Shadows, Suleras
The demons were pushed out of Elysium,but the once-beautiful land was now drenched in chaos mana.
A decaying sanctuary.A place ruled by the strongest necromancer of all time:John Jaccuzi.
The second war ended in 1832—nearly a century after it began.
It was also when the discovery of curses took place.
The worst nightmare shared by both humans and demons:
The Curses.
And the spark for the Third Great War…
I closed the book.
Something about it didn't sit right.
It was all written like a surface-level retelling.Even though the Second War seemed detailed, there were still too many missing pieces.
The biggest one?
The disappearance of Beezlebub.
The records said he absorbed Arthur Wellington.
Absorbed.
How?
And where did he go afterward?
His name… it itched in my mind.
"Beezlebub," I whispered.
"Beezle—"
CRACK
A sudden pressure smashed into me.
My surroundings turned red.Blood red.
I couldn't breathe.
I couldn't move.
I couldn't even feel my own presence.
"INSOLENT."
A voice thundered in my head.
Two enormous blood-red eyes appeared in the void.
Their gaze shattered my senses.
Frightening.Violent.Final.
My body began to bleed.The voice echoed louder and louder—
"Insolent.""Insolent.""INSOLENT.""INSOLENT—"
GASP
I woke up staring at the ceiling.
"Where am I—?!"
Ugh.That's right.I reincarnated. I'm in Gaia.The slums of Gus, on the continent of Avon.
I was reading about the wars, and then—
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I screamed.
My head throbbed in pain.
Even just thinking about that name…
It was like my body collapsed from the memory.
Who the hell was that?
Beezlebub.
That name…
That presence.
I weakly got up and looked around.Still in the library.The sun was just starting to set.
"How long was I unconscious…?"
I quickly returned the book to its place and left the so-called "library."
I'd also researched some basics on mana and aura while I was there.
But I was too drained.I wanted to try it out—but my mental strength was near zero.
I headed downstairs, grabbed a glass of milk, and dove into my bed.
I heard Anna call out behind me.Probably worried.
But right now…
I didn't care.
The second my body touched the mattress—
I passed out.
