Synopsis of Maou-sama, Retry!
Akira Oono is an ordinary adult who runs the MMORPG
'Infinity Game'. Fifteen years after creating the game, Oono decides to shut
down the servers once and for all. However, when the clock strikes midnight, he
finds himself in the body of Hakuto Kunai, the Demon Lord of 'Infinity Game'.
Shortly after his mysterious transportation, he witnesses the demon Greole
chasing a little girl named Aku. Though he effortlessly dispatches the
creature, Hakuto remains troubled - after all, he has no memory of creating the
girl or the demon!
Uncertain whether he is truly in the world of his
creation, Hakuto decides to investigate. Taking Aku as his guide and companion,
Hakuto sets out on a journey to find out exactly who or what has summoned him
to this fantasy world, leaving chaos and destruction in his wake.
