Ila Elkaras devoted decades to the Empire's cause, only to be cast aside without hesitation. Fleeing to sanctuary in another realm, he barely escaped assassination before the Dragon Lady Demon King intervened, pulling him back from death's edge. Now stripped of his demon-slaying past, Ila finds himself in an unexpected alliance. The warnings echo in his mind—those who wage war against darkness risk becoming consumed by it, yet when gazing into the void, sometimes it gazes back with unexpected tenderness. Confusion clouds his judgment as reality twists around him. The demonic world offers shelter where the "Empire of Light and Justice" brought only betrayal. As Ila navigates this dark new path beside the Demon King, he must confront a haunting question: which realm truly harbors evil, and which offers genuine redemption?
