The story is set in a world of swords and sorcery called Earthqualia, where everyone is born with a designated “class” or role. The story centers on Koji Kagami, born into the weakest “villager” class, but is level 999 despite that. Koji has a chance meeting with Alice, the daughter of the demon lord, and together, they seek to find a way for humans and demons to co-exist.
Hoshitsuki serialized the original story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website from July to December 2018, along with a side story in 2019. Kadokawa published the first print volume of the story with illustrations by fuumi in May 2016. The eighth and final novel volume shipped in January 2019.
Kenichi Iwamoto launched a manga adaptation of the novels in Kadokawa‘s Comp Ace magazine in May 2017. Kadokawa published the manga’s 21st compiled book volume on July 23.
