In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto is so powerful that he is lauded as the "Demon Lord" by other players. One day, he is summoned to a world outside his own, but with the same appearance he had in the game! There, he meets two girls who both proclaim themselves to be his Summoner. They perform an Enslavement Ritual to turn him into their Summon... but that's when Takuma's passive ability "Magic Reflection" activates! Instead, it is the girls who become enslaved! Though Takuma may be the strongest Sorcerer there is, he has no idea how to talk with other people.

It is here he makes his choice: to act based on his persona from the game, Diablo, the being known and feared as the Demon Lord!

After being summoned to another world that resembled the video game Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto accidentally ended up with two girls as his slaves: the Pantherian, Rem, and the Elf, Shera. Takuma, under the guise of his screenname Diablo, came to this world a powerful Sorcerer, just like his avatar in the game. Along with the two girls and Emile, a devilishly handsome Warrior, they managed to protect the town of Faltra from the looming threat of invasion by the malevolent Fallen. But that peace they brought upon the town did not last long. The Kingdom of Greenwood, a country of Elves, makes a troubling demand: if their princess isn't returned to her rightful home within the time allotted, then the Kingdom will declare war on Faltra!

After being summoned to another world that looks almost exactly like the MMORPG he once played, Takuma Sakamoto now spends his days going on adventures with Rem Galleau, the black-furred Pantherian, and Shera L. Greenwood, the Elf princess, both of whom accidentally became enslaved... to him!? One day, he is suddenly approached by the Fallen, Edelgard, with a request: Would he help her to undo the seal that keeps the Demon Lord Krebskulm inside Rem? Takuma, under the guise of his in-game character Diablo, hesitates, but he pushes through with his Demon Lord role-play and actually agrees! "I will revive the Demon Lord Krebskulm-and defeat them!" Now it's his Demon Lord role-play vs. an actual Demon Lord!

The High Priest Lumachina has been afflicted with a curse, and Diablo's only way of saving her is by reclaiming an item he once obtained in the game Cross Reverie.

Even when facing off against a supreme dragon, Diablo never falters, just like a true Demon Lord! Will Diablo be able to conquer the dungeon he himself created to retrieve the cure and make it back to defend Zircon Tower in time?

Lumachina has set out to reform the corrupted Church! Choosing to help her, Diablo finally makes his way to the Royal Capital. Even though a great battle against the Paladins looms ahead, Diablo is certain of his victory, for the new equipment he's gained from his Treasure Vault is overwhelmingly powerful by this world's standards. But before the battle can commence, the Church's believers stand in Diablo's way, powerless and helpless. Not wishing to fight them, Lumachina is imprisoned by the Church and falsely blamed for crimes she didn't even commit! The High Priest, the pacifist she is, accepts even this unjust treatment, but Diablo can't just sit idly and let that pass!
