In a world where the Demon Lords are destined to bring chaos and despair, one young Demon Lord-in-training, Arkanis, struggles with an unusual affliction: a kind heart. Instead of plotting destruction, he secretly helps lost travelers, revives dying lands, and sneaks human literature into his towering, gothic library.
The catch? Every good deed he performs drains his "Demonic Essence," putting his position—and even his life—at risk. Meanwhile, the Demon Council watches him closely, waiting for the slightest mistake to dethrone him. To make matters worse, a curious Hero, Elara, accidentally stumbles upon Arkanis' secret when she infiltrates his castle. Instead of fighting, they form an unlikely alliance, with Elara teaching him how to use his powers for good without being discovered.
As tensions between the human kingdoms and demon realms rise, Arkanis and Elara must decide: will they fight against destiny and prove that the line between good and evil isn’t so clear, or will the weight of expectation destroy them both?
