Product Information

Enfant Terrible: Even as a small child, she was totally unhinged and only cared about researching souls to try and steal [gifts] from humans. Shinjiteita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift "Mugen Gacha" de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi wo Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushuu & "Zamaa!" Shimasu! Loves the Sound of Screaming: She wanted to use torture magic on Light so she could enjoy his screams, and was visibly pouty when Sasha forbade her.

Heroic Lineage: What he thinks he has, by being the descendant of a "Master." Even if he's right, this doesn't automatically make him a hero, and he certainly isn't heroic, at all. Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses and is just as sadistic and genocidal as the rest of the knights.

Doomed Home Town: Her entire village was wiped out by Yudh's party, either directly or as part of Shion's experiments. I love survival isekai stories like this, where the characters are powering up and desperately trying to stave off death by exploiting the world's "game mechanics," but the question is always whether the author can keep things interesting once the power-ups slow down. Good Scars, Evil Scars: He's got ragged scars across his face and he's a sadistic thug who loves hunting people for sport. Break the Haughty: His opening move in delivering vengeance upon his former party, and any tormentors, is to make them look like total chumps in a fight with himself, and once they're left with no choice but to admit they're beaten, drive them to despair by revealing just how far beyond them he actually is, and then meting out the punishment.

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's golden-haired blonde and rescued a poor, helpless, little girl with an expensive potion, just because it was the right thing to do. This pays her huge dividends down the line.Um, I'm pretty sure I'm not the target audience for this. But if this were a heterosexual rom-com, I'd wonder whether I should give it a 0/10. I cannot empathize with this boneheaded girl one bit, and the love interests aren't any fun. Psychological Projection: He claims that he would rather commit suicide than be as weak, stupid, and ugly as a human, then humans, as a whole, should be thrilled that he's killing them off instead of "ignoring their suffering." Brainless Beauty: She's adorable, but she's so dumb, she can't even get to 1x3 on the multiplication table before she gets it wrong. Spirited Competitor: He loves looking for strong opponents to challenge himself, but since he's level 7777, finding one that can actually give him a challenge and isn't already an ally is difficult. I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!: Volume 2 was okay, but I dropped the series during Volume 3. It was just sort of a rehash of what came before.

Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Justified. Light always lays down summary judgement on his non-human enemies whenever they engage in hate-crimes against humans. The humans are too weak to deliver justice, and the criminals' native races never will, so it's always up to Light to do it. Last-Second Chance: When Light captures him, he's offered the chance to be set free if he can win a fair one-on-one fight, with Light swearing a magical-compelling oath, and under extremely generous terms. He proves that he's no hero by trying to flee. At this point, Light loses all respect for this guy and decides to torture him for what he knows about the "Master" he loves to brag about.

Success!

God or demon, it doesn't matter. The human kingdom needs him to stop being oppressed by the other races! The crown princess of the human kingdom. She finds herself on Light's radar when he learns she's responsible for rescuing his sister Yume from their Doomed Home Town. Once he's confirmed the Yume he heard about is the Yume that is his sister and has been treated well, the princess is invited to a private meeting and rewarded handsomely, plus asked if she wants one favor, anything he can grant. Without hesitation, she asks for his aid in ending the oppression of the other races. Light agrees.
