Chapter 1 - My Life as a Devil

Chapter no.1: A Rift Between Realities

The bell rang. The school was finally over.

Eiji Kuroryuu let out a small sigh and lazily stretched in his seat, but no one paid him any mind. That

was normal. He was practically invisible in his school—just a background character in everyone else's

story.

Well, not completely invisible. He had two friends. They are not close, but they are enough to joke

around and hang out after class. That was enough to keep him sane.

"Oi, Eiji!" one called, tossing an empty juice can like a basketball shot into the bin.

"Still reading that

ecchi trash?"

"Hey, it's art, thank you very much,

" Eiji grinned, pulling out a manga with a comically busty heroine

on the cover.

They laugh, walking out together into the cool evening air, teasing each other like kids who have

nothing to worry about. For a moment, it felt like life was… good.

But good things never lasted.

As Eiji headed home alone, the sky above twisted. Violet clouds spun into spirals, the air grew heavy,

and the streetlights flickered like dying stars.

He paused.

"Weird weather..."

Then—

CRACK.

The sidewalk shattered beneath him. A rift—blinding, wild, and crackling with chaotic light—tore

open.

"Nooo,—!"

He got swallowed up in the Rift.

Falling.

There was no ground. No sky. Just endless void and fragments of reality tearing past him. Screaming

winds one moment. Silence sharp enough to slice the soul the next.

Worlds spun around him.

Flaming lands ruled by dragons. Floating citadels pulsing with mana. Wastelands crawling with gods and monsters. Civilizations bloomed and perished in seconds.

And through it all, he endured. He traveled hundreds of millions of worlds.

His weak human body warped. Adapted and hardened by countless trials and battles. His mind

stretched. His soul twisted and matured.

And then, something awoke within him: The Omniverse Eye.

A power born not of destiny & Creation, but from pure desperation. A power that could absorb, fuse,and evolve any skill, essence, or law of reality.

After traveling countless Worlds in the attempt to return home, he finally succeeded in returning to Earth, but had to pay the price for it.

All his powers, which created, absorbed, fused, and evolved, everything was sealed; only his memory of the events remains intact.

Snap.

Like a joke played by god, the multiverse spat him back out.

"Guess it's time to enjoy the peaceful, perverted life I always wanted."

That lasted three hours.

As he walked back from a convenience store dinner, a sudden ripple tore through the night sky.

A crack opened in the air, like glass breaking.

Out slithered a creature. Not human. Not beast. Just… wrong.

No eyes. Too many teeth. Shadows clung to its limbs.

It lunged.

"Shit—!"

He barely reacted before it drove its claw straight through his chest.

The pain was blinding.

He collapsed, blood soaking the ground beneath him.

Lying there, breath shallow, he stared up at the moon.

"I just got back… Is this how I die?"

"Was all that struggle… for nothing?"

His vision dimmed.But then…

The air changed.

A warm scent—burning roses and silver ash—filled his senses.

And then a flash of silver.

A woman landed gracefully in front of him.

She was tall—173 cm—with a sinfully elegant figure. Her porcelain-pale skin shimmered faintly, and

her silver-white hair, tinted with lavender, flowed like moonlight.

Her eyes—silver-red with slit pupils—glowed as if reading the world's secrets. Her black devil wings,

threaded with silver webbing, spread like blades of shadow.

She wore a gothic school uniform—black and crimson—with a slit skirt, combat stockings, and loose

Infernal chains wrapped around her gloves.

Eiji's fading eyes widened.

"That uniform… that aura… Seraphina…?"

She didn't hesitate. She raised a single hand—

BOOM.

The creature vanished into ash.

She turned, crouching beside him. Her fingers gently brushed his hair away from his bloodied face.

"Tch… How pitiful.

" Her voice was smooth, cold, yet strangely soft.

Anyone else would be dead."

"You've lost most of your blood."

"But you… Still want to live?"

He coughed, blood on his lips.

"Of course I do…

" he whispered.

She gave him a faint smile. Not warmth—just a flicker of amused cruelty

"Hmph. Defiant to the end."

A circle of glowing runes bloomed beneath him. The air rippled with ancient magic.

"Listen well, Eiji Kuroryuu,

" she said, touching his fading chest.

House of Falcor—one of the great clans of the underworld.

"

"I am Seraphina Falcor, heir to the Falcor Household 

Her touch burned. The falcon crest ignited.

"From this moment on, you will be reborn as a devil. Bound to me. You will live and die for my sake."

He couldn't speak. All he could do was listen :"

…from now on …"

"You are my," she said, smirking."Property."

He blinked weakly.

She leaned closer, her lips inches from his ear.

"I want you to live, Eiji Kuroryuu."

And with that, the world around him went blurry and dark, and he lost consciousness.
