Lan Nuo buys a no-name black magic book from a street stall, and that very night, he transmigrates into a Western fantasy world.
As a veteran chuunibyou, Lan Nuo has long since seen through the nature of the world: the strong rule!
He will become the greatest black mage in history!
But every beginning is difficult, and Lan Nuo's biggest obstacle is his warm and gentle family.
His handsome but down-on-his-luck duke father goes out drinking and socializing every day, but rubs his prickly beard against Lan Nuo's face.
His gentle, beautiful mother is too scared to even kill a chicken, but sings him lovely lullabies before bed.
Then there's his gentle, soft-spoken eldest brother, who has night blindness; his second brother and second sister, who have porphyria and can't go out during the day; and his dim-witted little brother, who floats around in a black robe all day...
Lan Nuo: I have it so hard!
To keep from scaring his gentle family to death, Lan Nuo can only secretly practice black magic.
Thankfully, Heaven rewards the diligent. His magic skills progress by leaps and bounds, flourishing everywhere.
The members of the Artedis family are the leader of the Abyssal Demons / Queen of the Dark Elves / skeleton / vampire royalty / great necromancer. They are still living in dire straits today.
Their only ordinary family member, Lan Nuo Artedis, has once again picked up some nonsense book made up by a bard, and is enthusiastically determined to become a black mage.
To avoid crushing the child's confidence, the entire family plays along.
Lan Nuo draws a summoning circle.
The demon lord, attending a meeting in the Abyss, turns pale and hurriedly changes clothes to cosplay.
Underling: My lord, demons don't have that form...
Demon lord: That's how my son drew it in his book! You, you, and you, transform!

Lan Nuo follows the book's instructions and goes to buy a devil's heart.
The Queen of the Dark Elves rushes back to the Mother Tree to pick a rare spirit fruit, then carefully colors it with fake blood-fruit jam.
·
Lan Nuo needs a skeleton finger bone for an alchemy ingredient.
His eldest brother hurries back to his room, takes off his skin, and points at his own fingers, swearing he'll pick the most perfect one!
·
Lan Nuo wants water from the vampires' sacred pool, a source of boundless magic power, used for the one baptism every vampire receives in their lifetime!
Second brother: Since when do vampires have a sacred pool?
Second sister: ...Bathwater?
·
Lan Nuo decides to teach black magic to his not-so-bright little brother. Every time he hears his little brother sweetly say, "Thank you, big brother," he feels a great sense of achievement.
It's just that his little brother isn't very talented. After studying for ages, his progress is still zero.
The most talented necromancer on the continent obediently goes out, then instantly changes his expression as soon as he finds his family.
With a twisted expression, he says, "I can't take it anymore! What kind of garbage theories are those? I'm going to kill whoever wrote that stupid book!"
The rest of the family: "Calm down! Calm down!"
·
His first summon succeeds.
Lan Nuo: Could I be a genius?
Whenever he goes out exploring, he finds the materials he needs.
Lan Nuo: Could I be incredibly lucky?!
With the divine book in his hands, Lan Nuo becomes more and more convinced that everything in it is true, until one day he rescues a handsome young man from a slave market.
The young man's long hair reaches his waist, his eyelashes are like butterfly wings, and he's as gentle as water. He's equally at home in the parlor and the kitchen, but his health isn't very good.
The last page of the divine book describes a dual cultivation technique that supposedly replenishes one's essence...
Though the process is somewhat complicated, Lan Nuo cures the pretty young man and excitedly takes him home to meet the family.
The handsome young man gently greets his new parents.
The Artedis family, headquarters of darkness: "..."
Lan Nuo!! You brought the Holy Son of Light home!
