The descendant of a once great wizarding family, Elric Mervinger is unable to perform magic due to a rare medical condition. In a world where magic defines worth, he is worthless. His family name is a joke. His inheritance is an empty title. He can see magic, feel magic, but never cast it.
While attempting to cure his disease, he stumbles upon the demon Mephistopheles, trapped by a dragon’s curse. The demon tries to possess Elric, hoping to use his body to free himself from the trap that has held him for centuries. A desperate move from a desperate creature.
But something goes wrong. Elric does not get possessed. He absorbs Mephisto instead. The demon becomes part of him, bound to his soul, trapped inside the body of the magicless boy he tried to inhabit.
Now Elric has a demon living inside him. Mephisto has power, knowledge, and centuries of experience. Elric has… Mephisto. The two are bound together, forced to coexist whether they like it or not.
With Mephisto by his side, will this new power allow Elric to restore his family to its former glory? Or will he just end up being devoured from the inside out?
