"Ding! Congratulations on host awakening as an S-ranked demon." A floating device popped out before him. Alex looked down, embarrassed by his dangling anatomy. It turned out all demons were butt naked.
"Ugh, a new life as a demon? Isn't it the same as being sent to hell?"
The system connected to him began briefing him on his current situation. It turned out he had been reincarnated in the world of Agnatus, managed by the Goddess. The world consisted of many races, and among them was the most despised: the demon race.
In this world, demons were suppressed by all races and prevented from seeing the surface. Therefore, demons were holed up in dungeons with cave-like entrances, deep spaces, and harsh rocky environments filled with darkness and flames.
Even after the suppression of demons, it turned out that humans would still seek out to enter dungeons to eradicate demons within them, as they could gain fame and wealth. However, the dungeons were also ranked, and some consisting of low-level nameless demons could be conquered, while high-level named demons were powerful and difficult to defeat.
He had been reincarnated as an S-ranked demon, which was a named demon and could be considered powerful, but with curses clinging to him, his potential strength was halved. He could no longer claim to be an S-ranked.

He quickly grasped his new environment after several hours of explanation by the system. In the world of Earth, where he came from, due to the organization he worked with, he already had a familiarity with rankings. On Earth, an S-ranked assassin was literally high-ranked among all. But in the deepest part of what seemed like a hell-level dungeon, "Abyss," it turned out that S-ranked demons were the lowest-ranked here.
He cursed the Goddess at heart. How cruel of her to not only send him to her realm as a hated demon race but also curse him, halving his strength and placing him in a slavery position.
According to the system, demons evolved from A-rank nameless demon to an X-ranked god demon. And in a dungeon where S-ranked demons like him were surplus, it meant that it was also a demon lord's abode. And currently, in the dungeon he was in, there were a total of 12 X-ranked demon lords who were confined. According to the law of the world, S-ranked demons were always confined to their abode except during the age of tribulations, where they were given a chance to cross the surface and their only goal was to wreak damage and conquer. But there was always a greater hero trampling them and defeating them, so they got another 400 years of confinement, repeating the cycle.
His position as an S-ranked demon and his current situation made him among the thousands of slaves of the demon lords who were in charge of mining cores from the true flames in the dungeon, which were used to produce low-level demons by the demon lord and sent to the surface to evolve by killing and devouring other races. The demon lords had already split the abode, and each demon obtained his region.
The demon lord Beelzebub, who was in charge of his region, was a hungry-like demon who could pick and eat any S-ranked demon when he felt like it. Looking at the demon lord, he looked human with only his aura and little horns differentiating him from a normal human. It turned out that the more a demon evolved, their skin peeled and made them look more human.
He thought to himself that rather than curse the Goddess, he felt thankful. Although the demon race had many disadvantages, it also had its perks. His lifespan was in thousands of years compared to a normal human, which was 200 years at max, and with chances of evolution that could make him look more human. He could evolve, climb to the surface, and live a normal life.
Then his gaze got more serious as he thought to himself...
“I need power to grow more stronger and evolve , not only will I become a demon lord,I’ll get to the realm where no human can mess with me and I’ll show you goddess my worth, not through pettiness or vengeance, but through sheer magnitude of power”.
