Echizen is a game designer being ground under the boot of his high-pressure job. His demanding workplace won’t even let him do what he’s best at: building brutal puzzles and traps for players.

His path collides with the alluring demon princess Sophilia, but before she can explain how or why she’s summoned him, they’re threatened by a party of marauding heroes–and Echizen watches in horror as the “heroes” enact a genocidal massacre on Sophilia’s demon friends.
With his life on the line, Echizen uses the world’s magic to put his game developer skills to use in Sophilia’s defense.
