This is the vast Netherworld, where countless demons vie for supremacy.
In one of these many Netherworlds, a veteran mercenary named Nueur is summoned by the Superlative Netherworld overlord Tisiel, who has a shocking request.
“Someone ate the pudding from the refrigerator!”
“I see… wait, the what from the refrigerator?”
The pudding in question is the First Radiance Pudding, created by Tisiel’s now-deceased father, the former Superlative Overlord. It was eaten by a subordinate who staged a rebellion, and Tisiel wants it back.
Thus begins the battle to reclaim the First Radiance Pudding, led by a lone mercenary and a fledgling overlord…!
