**You mean you've never been saved by a naked catgirl?**
All Jake wanted was a normal life. He didn't crave fame or glory. A stable income was more than enough for him. So imagine his surprise when he's plucked from his job by a naked, demon-fighting, catgirl and given an important message. He's not a human. He's a half-human, half-demon hybrid who the real deal want dead.
To survive, Jake needs to become strong enough to fully control the demon surging through his veins. Dragged into the dystopian fantasy world of Terix, Jake must fight to grow more powerful.
