The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

This is a novel about a former human who becomes a demon because of a game. He lives his life as a demon from the Abyss, crossing into other worlds. (There will be different systems in use, different plots, and different powers. Expect cultivation systems, game systems, magic systems, and much more.) His main objective is to destroy and cause chaos throughout the multiverse. This novel also uses a ranking system that affects both anime and comic universes. Void becomes a Primordial Demon and, step by step, changes the views of all races about demons. Demons are not weak; demons are beings of pure chaos. Note that the MC is cruel and indifferent to life. This is a dark novel, so don't expect a Son of Destiny. In fact, Void isn't a villain...he is far, far crueler. Do not read if you are weak-minded.
