Author Hoshitsuki started the original story in July 2015 on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website, and Kadokawa published the first novel, with illustrations by Fumi, in May 2016. The eighth and final novel was released in January 2019.
The novel series was adapted into a manga by Iwamoto Kenichi in May 2017 in Kadokawa’s Comp Ace magazine, and Kadokawa published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in December 2017. The manga’s 21st volume will be released on July 23rd, 2026.
The novel is set in a world of swords, demons and sorcery called Earthqualia, and where everyone is born with a designated class or role. Koji Kagami is born into the weakest “villager” class, but is level 999 despite that. Koji has a chance meeting with Alice, the daughter of the demon lord, and together, they seek a way for humans and demons to coexist.
