Set in the year 2031, Demons’ Crest follows Yuma Ashihara, an elementary school student who participates in a beta test of the world’s first full-dive VRMMO-RPG called “Actual Magic (AM)”, only to lose consciousness while playing and wake up in a world where the game and reality have merged. A death game then unfolds in “mixed reality.”
Demons’ Crest is published in Japan by ASCII Media Works (a division of KADOKAWA) under their Dengeki Bunko imprint. The first volume hits bookstores in Japan on November 10, 2022.
