Hm? Wait, eh? What?! I'm now assigned on a mission so that I would be a dungeon master? Hold on, why?! That's such a painful task to do! Let someone else do it! In the first place, why me? What..? Only I can be the dungeon master?
Stare into my eyes. Are you kidding me?
No? Ugh, fine. There's no way I could argue against an archangel when I'm a mere angel. Alright, you win. I'll do it.
So... my job is to serve as the boss of my dungeon and that naturally includes bashing up anyone who arrives at the boss room instead of reincarnating souls. But I'm getting tired of this anyway, so why not ask someone else to serve as the boss? Then, I would only have administration stuff to do! Hurray! I'm such a genius!
But what if I could make a contract with an intelligent being and let them do the administration stuff too? Heheh... I'm such a genius!
Oh, and also screw you, Lord Raphael. I still haven't forgiven you yet for pushing this job down onto me.

In a realm where destinies are intertwined with the threads of gods and demons, Xander Nightborn, once the feared Demon King, meets an unexpected fate. Struck down in a tragic incident, he finds himself standing before a divine being offering a twisted chance at redemption.
Offered a system that promises power-ups in exchange for performing good deeds, Xander's existence becomes a battleground between his ingrained villainy and the divine force compelling him towards righteousness.

You are too weak, huh? Do you want to buy power, kid?
What about you? Do you want to live longer? I can give you a lifespan.
Do you want to be rich? Well, twenty years of your lifespan will give you these gold bars.
