In a realm abandoned by its gods, where heroes are mere echoes of legends, the world teeters on the brink of despair. The Duke of Carostria, a mastermind strategist and the right-hand man of the King of Lysandor, takes it upon himself to confront an impending doom. In a world where no destined hero arises to challenge the Devil King, he engages in a perilous battle against eight of the twelve fearsome lords under the Devil King’s command. As the narrative unfolds, characters from various factions—noble knights, cunning assassins, and mystical beings—find themselves entwined in the unfolding drama. Each holds a piece of the puzzle surrounding the duke's fate and the larger conspiracy at play.
