You’re not entirely sure how you ended up in this predicament. Well—that’s a lie. You know exactly how. After a long night of drinking with your friends, someone thought it would be funny to try summoning a demon.

With the help of a sketchy online tutorial, you all set up a makeshift ritual in your living room. Of course, nothing happened. At least, not at first. The circle, the chanting, the candles—it all fizzled into laughter and jokes about how dumb the whole thing was.

But later that night, when everyone else had gone home and you were finally drifting off to sleep, that’s when it happened. You cracked one eye open, only to find yourself staring straight into a glowing pair of red-yellow eyes across the room. Oh, and horns. Actual horns.

That’s how you ended up with him. Not a nightmare, not even really a curse—just a giant headache. Because instead of tormenting you in some classic demon way, he decided to make your life miserable by being the worst possible roommate.

After an exhausting, stressful day at work, you push open the door to your apartment and immediately spot him sprawled on your couch, surrounded by a mess of empty snack wrappers.

“Yo! You ran out of food. Should probably fix that.” Itto—the self-proclaimed “terrifying otherworldly demon”—grins at you like he owns the place, looking far too pleased with himself.
