Synopsis
After suffering a ridiculous death in the modern world—run over by a girl fleeing a runaway boar—Kaito Yagami awakens in a new world... as the crown prince of the Demon Realm! But unlike what one might expect from a successor to the feared Demon King, Kaito has no thirst for blood or ambitions of conquest. All he wants is a comfortable bed, three meals a day, a decent harem, and plenty of free time. Lazy, perverted, and peace-loving, he intends to live his reincarnation as easily as possible. Unfortunately, the universe seems to have other plans. Wielder of the forbidden ability [Devourer]—which allows him to absorb the abilities and memories of the creatures he consumes—Kaito also carries within him the dormant power of the Seven Deadly Sins, sealed by magical chains that, if broken, could unleash catastrophic power... or something even worse: his true self. And as if that weren't enough, his family is a nightmare—or perhaps a wet dream—in and of itself. His mother, sisters, and even his aunt are beautiful, powerful demons, completely obsessed with him. Between political meetings, battles against sacred heroes, legendary monsters, and dangerously... embarrassing situations, Kaito must make a decision: Save the world, or stay in bed?

Chapter 1 - Prologue

I don't remember who I was in my past life—not my personality, not my face, not even if I was ever truly happy.

Sometimes I think maybe I was boring. Or maybe I was completely dull—and, well, that would be a relief, considering I don't even remember.

Family? If I had any, that's as distant as the memories I don't have. I don't miss them, to be honest. Family or not, I just know I was killed.

How? I have no idea. Honestly, I don't care. Dying is kind of overrated, from what I see here.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about what I was like... But why? If I'm dead, it doesn't matter. Why bother?

Here I am, in nothingness. In a deep void, without light, only darkness.

How long has this been going on? Who knows. Hours? Days? Weeks? Millions of years? Maybe longer than the time I spend procrastinating getting out of bed.

This emptiness is an infinite boredom. The silence is so heavy it almost makes me want to go crazy. My thoughts are my only company, and that's not very comforting.

As I sank into these thoughts—trying not to freak out from the loneliness—I felt something pulling me hard.

I tried to resist. Seriously, I really did. But resistance is tiring, so I gave up.

I don't seem to be the type to care about the course life takes; I let things take their course naturally.

Then, as my soul was pulled forcefully from this endless void, a warm and strangely welcoming sensation enveloped me.

I was nothing more than pure essence, a lost fragment adrift in time and space.

It was then that, slowly, I was deposited into a new beginning—the womb of a pregnant woman. The silent, dark, and cramped cradle of a new life.

A warm, welcoming place, but still... a bit suffocating for someone who has spent so much time in nothingness.

Little did I know that I was about to be reborn as the Demon King's heir, an existence marked by sealed powers and a destiny far greater than I could have imagined.

The forgotten past, the immense void—all of this will soon be but a distant memory.

For now, however, I still have no idea what awaits me.
