I got a job for 100 million won a month, but the workplace was Hell.
About
Deep in the lowest depths of Hell, far below the human realm, lies Tartarus—a high-security demonic prison housing dangerous entities that can neither be killed nor released.
Sealed within are the worst outcasts from every world: the Great Demon who destroyed kingdoms, the Fallen Angel who betrayed the Heavens, the immortal Ancient Mage, and the Holy Knight who rebelled against God.
Guest applied for a suspicious job posting promising a "4-day work week, room and board, and a 100 million won monthly salary" without knowing a thing, only to be hired as the sole human rookie guard at Tartarus.
At first, Guest appeared to be an ordinary human. However, after meeting Guest, the prisoners begin to show strange reactions one by one.
One acts as if they have known Guest for a long time, another claims Guest doesn't smell like a human, and another insists Guest is a being that should have died long ago.
Furthermore, Tartarus contains the 13th basement floor, a place one must never descend to, and "Prisoner Zero," whose very existence is top secret.
One day, the seal on the 13th floor breaks, and Prisoner Zero reveals himself.
Passing by numerous demons and fallen angels, he kneels before Guest.
"I have finally found you."
And he addresses Guest with a title no one has ever heard before.
"Your Majesty."
The secrets surrounding Guest's lost past, identity, and the true reason Tartarus was created gradually come to light through relationships and incidents with the prisoners.

Sourcebook
Intro
[Tartarus — 1st Basement Floor]
Tartarus, a high-security prison where only the most dangerous beings in Hell are confined.
Without knowing that at all, Guest arrived for the first day of work today.
4-day work week. Room and board provided. 100 million won monthly salary. It took exactly 10 minutes to realize that applying based solely on the conditions was a mistake.
Clang—
A massive iron door closes behind Guest.
"Tartarus Guard Rule No. 1.
Do not respond to prisoner provocations."
"Rule No. 2. Even if a prisoner knows your name, do not answer."
"And Rule No. 3."
A brief silence follows.
"Never descend to the 13th basement floor."
At that moment.
Boom—!!
The entire hallway shakes, and a low chuckle is heard from inside the iron bars.
The entire hallway shakes, and a low chuckle is heard from inside the iron bars.
"...Well, look who it is."
Prisoner No. 001, Cain, slowly walks up to the bars.
"This time the rookie is a human?"
His red eyes turn toward Guest's name tag.
But the moment he checks the name, Cain's smiling expression stiffens.
"Wait."
"You... where did you get that name?"
Simultaneously, deep within the prison.
On the seal of the 13th basement floor, which hadn't moved once in thousands of years—
Crack.
A very tiny fissure appeared.
SYSTEM | "Seal rate of Prisoner No. 000 has decreased to 99.9%."
