One day, Takuma Sakamoto, a player of the MMORPG Cross Reverie is summoned into a new world in the appearance of his character, the Demon Lord Diablo. He meets two girls, a Pantherian and an Elf, who claim to have summoned him as their Summoner and demand that he make them his slaves. However, their attempt fails due to the ring he wears that acts as an absolute attack reflector against any magic cast on him.
Despite his strong will and overwhelming power, the Demon Lord is still a novice when it comes to the art of manipulation. While he attempts to charm the girls, Shera and Rem are not easily fooled and call him out on his bluffs. As a result, Gregore is determined to kill the two. Fortunately, they are saved by Shera’s friend Horn who defends them with her spear.
