The Evil God Who Keeps Getting Sent to Prison

The overworked office drone Lyman transmigrates to another world, and as soon as he arrives, he gets one good piece of news and one bad one.

Good news: His new identity is the leader of a society worshipped by countless people.

Bad news: The society is a cult. The Holy Kingdom's army has already reached the gates of his demonic palace.

Sitting in the middle of the palace, Lyman looks at his blank character stats, the approaching Holy Kingdom army, and the evil servants lying dead and wounded everywhere... and promptly raises his hands in surrender.

And so he gets a pair of silver handcuffs, a private cell behind iron bars, and a deluxe Louis XVI experience package.

Lyman: "Did I get something wrong by starting out in prison? I'm innocent! Heaven above, please reveal the truth!"

Just as he's about to be sent to the guillotine, his golden finger, the Evil God System, finally arrives.

With the System, Lyman can hear his followers' prayers, receive their fervent wishes, draw supernatural abilities, and bestow strange treasures.

From then on, Lyman begins a fulfilling (?) double life.

By day, he serves his prison sentence, poses as a model prisoner, undergoes reform through labor, and studies escape routes.

By night, he works remotely, becomes a mysterious evil god, recruits loyal followers, and upgrades his supernatural abilities.

Life is getting more and more like a jail sentence!

Lyman originally only wanted to gather a group of followers to break him out of prison. He never expected that, through his behind-the-scenes machinations, a merfolk boy would break free of his shackles, a dwarf craftsman would spark an industrial revolution, an elven saintess would lead her people to build a new home, a fallen princess would embark on a path of revenge, a heresy inquisitor would cast off his white robes and join the people, and a down-and-out literary genius would use his pen as a sword to declare war on the world...

The world order is turned upside down because of him.

The Holy Kingdom discovers that mysterious figures are appearing in every corner of the continent.

They worship the Lord of the Abyss who wanders the cosmos, the all-knowing Shadow Mentor, the Conqueror of Blood and Fire, and the Patron of Art and Beauty.

They vow to overthrow the decaying old world and establish a new order...

The Holy Kingdom exhausts every resource to track down the mastermind, but never finds a thing.

How could they know that the "evil god" stirring up the world is working a sewing machine in prison...

Lyman: "Bet you didn't expect that the most dangerous place is the safest place!"

Lyman: "Everyone in the Holy Kingdom's prison is talented, and they all speak so nicely. There's no way I'm getting out!"

You rise from the gloom. Wherever you go, the land will erupt in war.

Your call echoes across ten centuries, and will eventually shatter the darkness...

To reach the light.
