1st printing. By Brian C Baer. Elaborate cinematic universes and sophisticated marketing tie-ins are commonplace in entertainment today. It's easy to forget that the transmedia trend began in 1982 with a barbarian action figure. He-Man and the other characters in Mattel's popular Masters of the Universe toy line quickly found their way into comic books, video games, multiple television series and a Hollywood film. But it wasn't easy. He-Man faced adversaries more dangerous than Skeletor: entertainment lawyers, Hollywood executives, even the Reagan administration. The heroes and villains of Eternia did more than shape the childhoods of the toy-buying public. They formed the modern cinematic landscape. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 228 pages, Text.

Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Written by Yukiya Murasaki. Art by Takahiro Tsurusaki. Translated by Garrison Denim.

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!

Written by Yukiya Murasaki. Art by Takahiro Tsurusaki. Translated by Garrison Denim.

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!

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!
