chapter 1

After his defeat by Issei Hyoudou, Riser Phenex is abandoned by his family, shunned by his peerage, and mocked throughout the underworld. Stripped of his reputation, Riser decides to leave Hell and heads to Kuoh, seeking a fresh start where no one knows him as a fallen Phenex. But he soon finds himself surrounded by unexpected allies-beautiful girls drawn to him for reasons he can't fully understand or trust. Caught between his instinctive wariness and the possibility of genuine connection, Riser must learn to navigate this new "harem" while proving his own worth. As old wounds and new bonds clash, he'll discover what it truly means to rise from the ashes, stronger than ever.
