MTL - Descent of the Phoenix - Chapter 9 Who is afraid of who?

One day every human on the world suddenly receives a mail claiming to enact the World Salvation Project. Half in doubt Kurosaki Shion, a diligent university student and loner, follows the mail’s instructions, becoming one of a million Demon Kings governing his very own Domain in the new world.

This is an era of heroes and heroines.
This is an era of great changes.
In the end, it will be an arcane era opened by me.
