In Class 1-A of Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School, there was a student who became the talk of the school from the very first day. He was effortlessly cool, even doing his cleaning duties, eating lunch, and standing as punishment in the hallway. Every move he made exuded—Cool! Cooler! Coolest! This student, who embodied coolness and elegance to the extreme, was named—Sakamoto. He casually pushed up his glasses: "I am Sakamoto. What brings you here?"

After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight.

A Master’s degree? Easy.

PhD? Not a problem.

From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.

“System, can points be exchanged for money?”

“No.”

“F**k, what use are you then!?”

“This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?”

On a frozen tundra, through the billowing steam and blinding blizzard, the shape of a colossal beast slowly emerges.

A grotesque construct seemingly cobbled together from wood and iron, devoid of any sense of beauty or design. Whether it can even move is a mystery—it’s a wonder it holds together at all.

They say, deep within the fortress, a mysterious figure dwells… weaving the fate of all who live.

As a transmigrator — and a high demon personally named by the Demon King —

Agusheed rejected the title of one of the "Seven Sages of Ruin" and instead chose to embark on a journey to reclaim the emotions he had lost.

A thousand years ago, he once traveled back and forth to the “Heavenly Realm” alongside the most powerful human Archmage, Flamme.

He also dueled with the “Corrupt Sage” Qual, seeking not victory, but validation of their respective magical philosophies.

Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he could not rediscover the feelings he once had as a human.

………………

Flamme: Agusheed, I imagine your life from now on will be longer than I could ever fathom…

Agusheed: Perhaps.

Flamme: Agusheed, there’s something I want to tell you… I’ve fallen for someone.

Agusheed: Who is it?

Flamme: A man who doesn’t understand feelings at all…

Agusheed: What do you mean?

50 years later

Agusheed: No… that can’t be right.

A demon unable to comprehend emotion finally came to understand what “love” meant —

But by then, she was already gone.

A thousand years later, on Flamme’s death anniversary, Agusheed sat quietly at her tombstone in remembrance.

It was then that one of the “Seven Sages of Ruin,” Aura the Beheaded, came looking for him—
