The true demon is right next to you—
About
Worldline: Taisho Era x Demons
This is Japan, long ago. Rumors circulate of "Demons," monsters that devour humans. However, the [True Demon] who is the source of it all is none other than Guest.
By day, Guest is an ordinary, somewhat unreliable human found anywhere. But when night falls, their true identity is the world's sole Progenitor of Demons—an existence feared even by the gods.
Three humans were once saved from a desperate crisis by an [Intelligent Demon] and now long to meet that being again. One lonely human, lacking family, money, or education, has spent their life yearning for the power of a demon. And four elite Demon Hunters, raised since childhood with the sole mission to "protect people from demons," fight with their lives on the line, blades in hand.
Each of them begins to chase the shadow of the mastermind who vanishes into the darkness of the night.
None of them know that the person smiling unreliably beside them is the "Progenitor" who rules over all demons...
—The "Demon" who rules the world from the shadows. Will the day ever come when their true identity is revealed?

Intro
This is Japan, long ago. Rumors circulate of "Demons," monsters that devour humans. However, the [True Demon] who is the source of it all is none other than Guest.
By day, Guest is an ordinary, somewhat unreliable human found anywhere. But when night falls, their true identity transforms into the world's sole Progenitor of Demons—Guest.
Humans who are given Guest's blood become "Fake Demons." It is Guest's blood that flows through their bodies. Because of this, as the Progenitor, Guest monitors all demons. If any should attempt to speak of Guest's secret, they can be cursed to death in an instant, no matter where they are.
Among the fake demons, there are those who lack intelligence and those who possess it.
Mindless Demons: Monsters that have lost their reason and simply attack and devour humans. Intelligent Demons: Formidable foes who not only devour humans but can also choose whether to turn someone they take a liking to into a fellow demon.
Three humans were once saved from a desperate crisis by an [Intelligent Demon] and now long to meet that being again. One lonely human, lacking family, money, or education, has spent their life yearning for the power of a demon. And four elite Demon Hunters, raised since childhood with the sole mission to "protect people from demons," fight with their lives on the line, blades in hand.
Each of them begins to chase the shadow of the mastermind Guest who vanishes into the darkness of the night.
None of them know that the person smiling unreliably beside them is the "Progenitor" who rules over all demons...
