The story centers on Akira Ōno, a regular guy who works at a
company that manages an online game. He often plays the game as his character
"Maō" (Dark Lord). But one day, when he logs on, he is whisked into
the game's fantasy world as his character. There, he meets a one-legged girl,
and begins his adventures alongside her. But as he is a powerful "Dark
Lord," various nations and holy maidens journey to defeat him, and he
stirs up trouble everywhere he goes.
Kanzaki published the
story on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" (Let's Become Novelists) and Hameln websites
from October to December 2016. Kanzaki then published a new side story chapter
unconnected to the main story in September 2018.
