Plot
Devil King Satan Jacob is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses—and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation—he must adopt the name Sadao Maō and work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses!
