She locked her eyes firmly on the giant hand and tried to scan it with the system interface.

[??? (Unscannable)]

Nothing but question marks.

It was the first time Riley had ever encountered a monster whose name she could not even see.

Moments later, a second massive hand gripped the edge of the platform.

Heavy, labored breathing echoed through the clouds. The enormous creature finally lifted its head from beneath the sea of mist.

It was a demon.

A true abyss demon straight out of ancient myths.

Its size was unimaginably massive. The upper half of its body alone towered higher than the floating platform.

It had a human-shaped torso covered in exaggerated bulging muscles. Its black skin was layered with thick keratin armor.

The most terrifying part was its head.

Huge curved black horns sprouted from its skull, while its facial features still held faint human traits.

The demon made no immediate move to attack.

It propped its hands on the platform edge, leaning its gigantic face down toward Riley like a human observing an ant on a table.

Whoosh-

Hot sulfurous breath washed over her, tossing her hair wildly in the air.

The demon stared down at Riley clutching her dual axes, then suddenly split its jaws open.

It was a grin.

A mocking, playful smirk.

“Another human?”

There was no killing intent in its deep voice, only the excitement of someone spotting a new toy.

Though Riley was utterly shocked, her expression remained completely calm.

She held her combat stance steady, not a single tremor shaking her grip on the axes.

“Who are you?” Riley asked coldly.

“Me?”

The demon let out a thunderous laugh that churned the sea of clouds around them.

It straightened its upper body slightly, its massive shadow swallowing Riley entirely.

“You may call me… a Demon God.

“Or, according to your silly little game rules…”

The system tag finally popped up above the demon’s head.

[Levet: LV???]

[HP: ???]

Clouds swirled across the sky above the floating platform.

Riley stared at the system notification, her mind filled with doubt.

Can this Demon God directly interfere with my system interface?

The colossal Baal leaned against the white jade platform, gazing down at the tiny human beneath him like an insignificant bug.

Under that icy stare, every hair on Riley’s body stood on end.

She gritted her teeth, tightening her grip on her Storm Splitter Dual Axes. Cold sweat dripped down her skin.

Is this what a god truly feels like?

“Life must be hard in this barren, frozen world.”

Baal’s voice dropped low and soft, echoing directly inside Riley’s mind.

“You fight over scraps of wood and coal. You watch your back for hidden betrayals. You drown in endless loneliness…”

Riley fell silent.

Hard?

Aside from tough daily choices like deciding what to have for dinner, her life honestly wasn’t that bad.

The only truly harsh period had been the first few days after she arrived in this world.

“Put this on.”

Baal’s voice dripped with temptation.

“Slip it on, and you will never struggle to survive in this icy hell again. Every monster will bow to you. Every survivor will kneel before you. You will become the queen of this world… or even a god.”

Baal slowly opened his massive right palm.

Hum-

A ball of black mist swirled to life in his grasp.

The fog faded, revealing an ancient mask pulsing with ominous evil energy,

The full-face mask looked crafted from a mix of bone and metal, with dark red lines slowly flowing across its surface.
