Fourteen-year-old Suzuki Iruma has spent his entire childhood enduring relentless hardship due to his selfish, negligent parents. His life takes a sharp turn when his parents sell his soul to Lord Sullivan, one of the three ruling Great Demons of the Netherworld. Expecting torment, Iruma discovers that Sullivan desires nothing more than a doting grandson. Adopted into luxury, Iruma must enroll in Babyls Demon School, an academy where Sullivan serves as chairman and where every demon student relishes folklore depicting humans as delicious prey.

Devoid of natural demonic mana, Iruma survives through extreme dodging instincts honed from years of physical labor. During the school entrance ceremony, he accidentally chants a high-tier taboo spell inscribed by Sullivan, which leads to an immediate duel with high-ranking prodigy Alice Asmodeus. After unintentionally suplexing Asmodeus and sparing his life, Iruma earns Asmodeus's unwavering loyalty. Soon after, he befriends Clara Valac, an eccentric demon shunned for her chaotic summoning pockets. Together, the trio lands in the notorious Abnormal Class, supervised by the strict and skeptical homeroom teacher Naberius Kalego.

Equipped with the mysterious Ring of Gluttony, an artifact containing a sentient entity named Ali-san that absorbs and redirects demonic energy, Iruma climbs the demonic ranking ladder from Alef (Rank 1) toward higher echelons. While evading discovery by student council president Ameri Azazel and opposing faction conspiracies orchestrated by figures like Kirio Amy and the Six Fingers, Iruma transforms from a passive pushover into a genuine leader within the Netherworld.

What to Expect

Major milestones, including the Cannonball Execution, the Walter Park Crisis, the Harvest Festival, the Music Festival, and the Heartbreaker Exam, escalate the narrative scope while giving the entire thirteen-student Abnormal Class individual training arcs, power advancements, and personal stakes.
