Synopsis

In a world where demons are extracted from humans, the process is said to be ten times worse for the entity than the host. The unnamed narrator is an exorcist who gets the job done, regardless of the collateral damage to the possessed. His latest case is Prosper of Schanz, a man of science aiming to create a philosopher-king, who has unfortunately become demonically possessed.
