    The story begins with the protagonist from the future traveling to the past to plan for himself. He uses an eyebrow pencil to capture and draw demons, and a demon beast encyclopedia to fuse demon beast abilities, making them work for him. He can even dismantle spells that others have perfected into his own nourishment. He travels through various timelines to capture demons. There are many foreshadowing elements, and he is not brainless but cunning. He is not a saint and his actions are not naive. The story is slow to start and the writing style is somewhat lengthy, but it will become very addictive later on.
