Relevant Secondary Characters:
(These may become future heroines, recurring characters, or important figures within the development of the lore.)
Makima (Chainsaw Man): Based on the character of the same name in terms of appearance and personality, although the story of Chainsaw Man does not exist in this fic. She can be considered this world's version. She is the receptionist of the guild (in the protagonist's city branch) and a rank 4 demon.
Sonya (Original): A dark elf, former member of the royal guard of the elven kingdom in the Dark Forest. Level 4 mage in shadow arts and mentor to the protagonist in this discipline.
Sylver(Original): A two-headed Cerberus, leader of the Hellhounds under the protagonist's command. At first, he was accompanied by his pack of silver wolves, but they evolved thanks to the protagonist. He also gained the ability to summon more, so his pack continues to expand constantly.
Lorim(Original): De facto leader of the beastmen under the protagonist's orders. Originally the chief of a kobold village subjugated by Kaito. After joining, they received a tower where, by overcoming trials, they can evolve into beastmen. Although the population has grown exponentially and Lorim is no longer the chief of the original village, most still recognize him as a guide and trusted figure.
Korran(Original): Captain of the beastmen combat force. He was the only kobold who dared to challenge the protagonist upon his arrival, thus earning his recognition. He currently leads the warriors of his race, although not all kobolds and beastmen choose that path.
Ben(Original): First human summoned by the protagonist and later transformed into a demon. He is the de facto leader of the demons under his command. Although each of the 72 demon houses has its own leader, Ben serves as the main representative before Kaito.
Nyssara(Original): Lady of the city of Nareth, the first elven city conquered by the protagonist. Expert in wind spells. Younger sister of Sonya.
Ryselle(Original): Lady of the city of Veldris, the second elven city under the protagonist's domain. Specialist in fire spells. Younger sister of Sonya.

Aoyama Nanami (Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo): Close friend of the protagonist.

Frey(Original): Under the protagonist's command. Member of the Phoenix house, occupation: tailor.

Lore and Plot Information:
The Lords are people between the ages of 18 and 50 who are summoned to another world called Gaia. Initially, the summoning is forced; however, starting from level 10 they can choose to enter and leave freely, always fulfilling a minimum of 12 daily hours in Gaia.
After reaching level 10, the Lords can synchronize a small part of their strength and one or two abilities in the real world, which allows them to retain powers from Gaia outside of it. Without this synchronization, they would be ordinary people upon returning.
The Government created an organization known as the Lords' Guild, managed jointly with the Lords themselves. Its function is to assign missions, which are ranked from F to S depending on difficulty. Lords are also evaluated with this ranking. So far, no one has surpassed rank F, since in order to ascend to E it is necessary to reach at least level 30.
Every Sunday, a new level in the Tower of Worlds is unlocked. The Lords may challenge it immediately or later, but they must always clear the previous level before accessing the next.
Rewards vary depending on performance in each mission. To achieve the highest grade it is not enough to simply complete the objective, but to surpass it.
There are two types of worlds:
1. Single-entry worlds.
2. Recurring worlds, which can be accessed more than once on different floors. These allow the selection of difficulty, which adjusts the missions accordingly.
Koneko comes from the world of Highschool DxD thanks to an item acquired by the protagonist. She explained that the worlds of the Tower were destroyed. In hers, black beast-shaped creatures invaded, and all the inhabitants received systems to fight. After its destruction, a voice asked permission to use it as a training field for the Lords, in exchange for the future possibility of restoring it along with its inhabitants.
The protagonist's race is Original Demon of Speed, a rank 2 demon. This detail will have relevance in future developments.
