Premise
After dying young from illness, Takuto Ira finds himself reborn in "Eternal Nations", his favorite online game; along with his demonic retainer Atou. Neither of them are sure what happened but decided to found a settlement in the forest to live in peace. Pretty quickly refugees of different races begin seeking asylum under his protection; due to the racism of the human countries.
Characters
Takuto Ira
The Lord and founder of Mynoghra. Classified by the world morality as "evil", he is nothing but a virtuous person, who looks out for others above his own needs. He has no desire to war with the other counties, but will defend his home should humans be stupid enough to try.
Though Takuto and Atou see him as human, the inhabitants of the world see him as dark smoke in human shape; making him look scary to others.
Atou
"Atou the sludge" is Takuto's right hand woman and leader of his Eight Heroes. Though she looks like an albino elf, it's just a skin suit hiding her true monstrous form. While a sadist in combat, Atou is friendly to allies and is often serving as emotional support to Takuto.
