After an outbreak of a mysterious virus, humanity was at stake. With no way to cure the disease, the population plummeted. When humanity was at its worst, a miracle happened. Survivors of the virus started to gain supernatural abilities and the symptoms seemed to grow less and less. But, when the catastrophe seemed to come to a halt, the virus which had laid dormant inside the unlucky few started turning them into horrible monsters. To combat the monsters, a superpowered force was established to rid the earth of evil. 37 years later, Rhys was born a powerless cur set aside from society. Mistreated, bullied, and looked down upon, the young Rhys wanted to end it all. But when put at death's doorstep, he suddenly awakened his ability: The Archetype System. The cover is mine. Please do not steal.

Astaroth. Even his name was able to invoke fear within the hearts of others. He was the greatest conqueror, the so-called "Demon Lord". Yet, why did he feel so empty? Why did it feel so...odd? Perhaps it was his vacant castle walls, perhaps it was simply his loneliness. But at the cusps of death, caused by the nobody Hero, he had finally found the answer—it was the Devil himself! "This has been your 276th life now," the Devil said. "You have failed to complete your role...again." Thrust into a new world, Astaroth, now Cain, set off on a journey toward revenge. Would he succeed? Would he fail? Would he ever find solace? ----------------------------------- Note that there is no *planned* romance. In fact, there would likely be none at all.
