Reem is a walking joke and she's aware of this, so to end up as a maid at a demon lord's castle neither surprised nor disappointed her. However, she did not expect her new boss to be so... weird.

Whether Sionn's existence is a joke or not is up for debate, but what he is, for sure, is a walking time bomb. An affliction that plagues only demons grants them immense power in exchange for their sanity—whether they want to or not. Of course, with his luck, he is one of the cursed ones.

For millennia, the cycle has remained unbroken: one of the afflicted breaks, awakens as a demon king, and tears the world apart... as revenge? Or as a pawn to fate?

Neither Sionn nor Reem seek to change the world, or even themselves; yet when no one else will, they learn to see each other not as a failure or a monster, just people.
