The series opens with Zagan, a powerful yet socially awkward archdemon, known for his brooding and dark demeanor. In Episode 1, he attends a shady auction where various magical beings are sold. Despite his disdain for the practice, his attention is captured by a beautiful and enslaved elf girl named Nephy. With her pale skin, silver hair, and quiet but sorrowful gaze, she stands out from the others.

Zagan impulsively bids for Nephy and wins, setting the stage for an awkward relationship between the two. Despite his terrifying reputation as a ruthless demon, Zagan feels a strange sense of protectiveness toward the shy elf. He struggles to express his emotions, torn between his fearsome image and the unfamiliar feelings that begin to stir inside him.

As Nephy is introduced to Zagan’s dark and lonely castle, she remains quiet and obedient, unsure of her new master’s intentions. Zagan, equally unsure of how to communicate with her, tries to be kind but ends up coming off as cold and distant. Both are bound by a magical contract, yet neither knows how to navigate this new, unexpected dynamic.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Zagan realizing that his true challenge lies not in mastering his demonic powers but in understanding his own heart and learning how to care for his new elf bride.

Themes:
This episode sets the tone for a blend of romance, fantasy, and comedy, as Zagan, a powerful but inexperienced demon, tries to grapple with the concept of love and responsibility toward his elf bride. There's an ongoing contrast between his cold exterior and the warmth he's beginning to feel, giving viewers a mix of tender and humorous moments.
Transcript
00:00Lostwoods is a desolate and dense forest in the middle of nowhere.
00:08A man had made an old and dilapidated fort his home.
00:15This man is a magician, whom people fear and hate on a large scale.
00:22His name is Zagan.
00:26But for now, he has to face a very difficult test.
00:30My lord, if you don't mind, can I ask you a question?
00:35Of course.
00:37I want to know how I will be killed.
00:45Wait a minute. Why did you think I was going to kill you?
00:49Actually, I don't know what to do.
00:53I don't know how to talk to the girl I love.
01:24I don't have a reason to believe in a fateful encounter.
01:29I can't say it if I put you in front of me.
01:34It's a waste to even blink.
01:37My heart beats so fast.
01:40I don't know what to do.
01:45I want to help you.
01:48I want to see your smiling face.
01:50I'm the only one who can't say anything.
01:53I want to tell you more if I can.
01:55I want to tell you, but I don't know.
01:59I'm the maze.
02:01Forever and ever.
02:03That's right. That's right.
02:05It's not what I drew.
02:08What is the answer to this?
02:11I still don't know what love is.
02:20I still don't know what love is.
02:25I still don't know what love is.
02:36Actually, this is how the story begins.
02:42Stop! Why are you doing this?
02:47No!
02:51That means you're not Myers.
02:54Then who are you?
02:56And what did you do to him?
03:01I'm already in love with you.
03:04Maybe you don't understand yet.
03:07I'm going to do something you've never even dreamed of.
03:11I'm going to use the skin of a virgin like you in my magic.
03:16Is he a magician?
03:18I won't hurt you too much, okay?
03:23No!
03:25Shut up!
03:27I'm going to use the skin of a virgin like you in my magic.
03:35Who are you?
03:36First tell me who you are.
03:38Do you even know whose area you're in?
03:41I wanted to sleep in peace, but your loud voice woke me up.
03:45Oh no! I think this is his area.
03:48Stop! We're both magicians.
03:51Let me go. I can teach you magic.
03:55I don't need magic to skin people.
03:59Do you understand?
04:02Huh?
04:11Is this too much?
04:13She'll be shocked when she wakes up.
04:16I have to be careful. I'm a magician.
04:20I can fix her.
04:22Rebound cycle.
04:32Rebound cycle.
04:39This magic makes the situation as if nothing has happened.
04:44Because there are no bloodstains, she'll think it was a dream.
04:52How does she have this cross?
04:54Does she work for the church?
04:56They call themselves messengers of God.
04:58All magicians have enemies.
05:00I saved her life.
05:02But maybe I'll be blamed for this attack.
05:05Anyway, I don't care about her.
05:12If I leave her on the side of the road, someone will see her.
05:19Someone is obstructing my magic.
05:21This is my area.
05:23I've surrounded this place.
05:25This can't be done by any ordinary magician.
05:34Stop interfering in my magic.
05:37Barbatos.
05:39Hello, Zegan.
05:40You still look like a looted Sultan.
05:44Have you ever seen your face in a mirror?
05:46Never mind. I hope I didn't ruin your party.
05:49No, it was just a scoundrel trying to remind her of her place.
05:53A scoundrel?
05:54Have you changed your profession?
05:56We are magicians.
05:57Our job is to gain power.
05:59Other people's lives and money are the means to gain power for us.
06:04After all, this is the sign of being a magician.
06:08Hey, this girl has a lot of inner power.
06:12Are you going to sacrifice her?
06:14I don't believe in sacrificing.
06:25Damn you!
06:27Why didn't you let me sacrifice her?
06:29I'm going to bed now.
06:31I was reading books all night.
06:33If you need anything, come back later.
06:35Listen to me, brother.
06:37I've come from so far.
06:38Don't be so heartless with me.
06:40You know, right?
06:41You can remove your sleep by doing a little magic on your mind.
06:45You are in this condition today because of interfering with your mind.
06:49For magic, it is necessary to interfere with the body.
06:52This increases our life span along with keeping us healthy.
06:55However, this can only be done for 1000 years.
06:59By the way, I have brought a very useful news, Zegan.
07:03Do you know that an archdemon Marcus Tass is now dead?
07:11An archdemon?
07:12By obtaining this position, the inner power increases immeasurably.
07:16In addition, you also get the right to control low-level magicians.
07:19This is the highest position in magic.
07:21He was one of the 13 archdemons.
07:23He was an archdemon who lived for 1000 years.
07:27He died a few days ago.
07:30Did you see how your sleep disappeared as soon as you heard this?
07:34But you told me that you were going to bed.
07:36Lazy fellow!
07:37If you want to know something, tell me quickly.
07:40Okay, okay.
07:42Geonoids is an area of Marcus Tass.
07:45There is going to be a big auction there.
07:47We will get the things we like along with the priceless things.
07:50What do you mean?
07:51You are absolutely right.
07:53There is going to be a big auction of the archdemons.
08:04I thought you must have brought some good news for me.
08:07But you have just come to borrow money from me for this auction, right?
08:11It is better that I buy that inheritance myself.
08:14Hey, this is wrong.
08:16I am the one who gave you this news.
08:18Then go and beg someone else.
08:20You are the only magician in my life who can lend me money.
08:25Just help me once.
08:27I will find a good girl for you in return.
08:29A girl in return?
08:31The deal is good.
08:33But after the arrival of the girls, happiness is less and trouble is more.
08:41This soldier seems to be angry.
08:43Yes, there are many kidnappings happening in the city these days.
08:46There are some scoundrels in the city
08:48who are kidnapping young girls to perform a different kind of magic.
08:52The situation seems to be very bad.
08:55They are directly messing with the church.
08:57But why are they doing this?
08:59How would I know?
09:01Are they planning to call some important person?
09:04Like some real demon?
09:06No, this happens only in fairy tales.
09:12Zekan, I have got an idea.
09:14I hope people are not thinking that you have done all these kidnappings.
09:17What nonsense!
09:19Even if magic is done through sacrifice,
09:21can that magic be effective?
09:24You are right.
09:26You don't even have friends who can support you in this.
09:29Am I right?
09:31Anyway, I don't think it is necessary to have any friends.
09:44Wow!
09:55Zekan, look at this.
09:57Famous people have come here.
10:00Gimahri is the Black Blade.
10:02Gremory the Enchantress.
10:04And there is Velifer the Apparition.
10:08All the magicians here are known by their other names.
10:13Are they powerful?
10:15Yes, of course.
10:17After March of Stars,
10:18these are the 13 contestants from the list of Archdemons.
10:21Including your brother.
10:23The next Archdemon?
10:25And who will decide this?
10:27The remaining 12 Archdemons will decide this.
10:30Listen, Gimahri.
10:32Look over there.
10:34You told me the name of that sick looking boy.
10:38Do you remember?
10:39I think his name is Barbatos the Purgatory.
10:43And that sick looking boy next to him is Zekan, right?
10:46He has neither experience nor status.
10:48Still, I don't know why his name is on the list of candidates for Archdemons.
10:53My dear friends.
10:55Welcome to our last and most unique auction.
11:01Who is this?
11:06This is a thing that has already been sold.
11:09The day it was bought,
11:10our Archdemons themselves showed interest.
11:13But as you all know,
11:14our Lord March of Stars is no longer with us.
11:17So this thing is being auctioned again.
11:19So, who wants to be its new owner?
11:22What did they want to do with it?
11:24Maybe they need it for some great magic.
11:30He is a member of a well-known race from the sacred land of Norton.
11:35He is an Elf.
11:52As you all know,
11:53Elves are considered to be closer to Gods and Natural Spirits than humans.
11:58And you can see his sparkling white hair.
12:01This is the real color of his hair.
12:03There are countless Elves in the world whose hair naturally shines like this.
12:07Because of his magical powers, this Elf is very precious.
12:09He is worthy of being your slave,
12:11with whom you can fall in love.
12:13And not only that,
12:14you can fulfill all your wishes.
12:17So, let's start the auction with 10,000.
12:1910,000,000 coins.
12:24Zekan, what are you doing?
12:26I bid for 10,000,000 gold coins.
12:30Thank you very much, sir.
12:32What a great bid!
12:34Are you crazy?
12:35My brother is an Elf.
12:36How can you bid for money like this?
12:38Why is my heart beating so fast?
12:40She is so beautiful.
12:42Am I doing the right thing by buying her?
12:44But I want to help her.
12:46I want to see her smiling.
12:49I want to touch her body.
12:52I want to touch her body.
12:55I think Manu has found someone
12:57who has always been missing.
12:59Tell me one thing.
13:00What kind of magic are you planning to do with her?
13:12Congratulations, sir.
13:13Our magician Zekan has bought this white-haired Elf.
13:23What should I do now?
13:25How should I control myself?
13:27Is this right?
13:28Has someone cast some kind of magic on her?
13:31What happened, sir?
13:32Are you thinking about something?
13:34No.
13:37What is this?
13:38This collar controls the inner powers.
13:41If this is not there,
13:42she can run anywhere.
13:43So, remember this.
13:45But there is one thing for sure.
13:47No one here knows how to get rid of this.
13:50Is she alright?
13:52Don't worry, sir.
13:54We have taken good care of her.
13:58And to be honest,
13:59you will never find an elf like her.
14:02She is so capable
14:03that no normal magic works on her.
14:05That's good.
14:07But first, I want to talk to her.
14:10I can't wait to hear her sweet voice.
14:21I think I said something weird.
14:25Someone has rightly said that
14:26when you fall in love for the first time,
14:28you go crazy.
14:29Because a while ago,
14:30he was saying that
14:31after girls come,
14:32there is less happiness
14:33and more trouble.
14:42I brought her home, but...
14:45But...
14:49I should have asked Barbatos about this.
14:51I don't know what to talk to her.
14:54Whatever it is,
14:55I have to say something.
14:57She is in my house now.
14:59The weather is good today, isn't it?
15:02No,
15:03I can't talk to her.
15:06The weather here is usually bad.
15:09How did you like my fort?
15:13Think properly.
15:16I am sure
15:17she must have liked this place
15:18more than a jail or a prison.
15:21Why didn't I clean here
15:23before bringing her here?
15:26Sir,
15:28if you don't mind,
15:29can I ask you a question?
15:31She talked.
15:33She has a sweet voice
15:34like a lovely cuckoo.
15:37Ask her.
15:38Why did I say that?
15:40I feel like
15:41I am doing her a favor.
15:43I wanted to ask
15:45how I will be killed.
15:57If I knew this before,
15:59I would have prepared myself for it.
16:02No, no, no.
16:04Who said I am going to kill you?
16:06I just want you to stay alive.
16:09That means
16:10I will be punished worse than death.
16:12I will never be released.
16:16When did I say that?
16:18All these things belong to the old owner of the fort.
16:20I thought
16:21who will work so hard.
16:22That's why I didn't remove these things from here.
16:28My name is Zegan.
16:30For your information,
16:31I am a magician.
16:32But I don't kill anyone.
16:34So now...
16:39So now...
16:40This is so difficult.
16:42Just to ask her name,
16:44why am I facing so many problems?
16:48Please forgive me.
16:51Master, my name is Nefila.
16:53Nefila.
16:55What a lovely name.
16:57Nefila,
16:58what is your favorite name?
17:01I don't have a favorite name.
17:03If you don't like it,
17:04you can call me Nefi.
17:06Really?
17:07Yes.
17:08Not only is her real name beautiful,
17:10but her name is also lovely.
17:12Nefi.
17:13Tell me one thing, Nefi.
17:15Don't all elf families
17:17have a family name?
17:19No.
17:20I think I am unlucky.
17:24Unlucky?
17:26I am sorry.
17:27But can I know
17:28why you are asking this?
17:30Actually...
17:32Don't worry.
17:35I am still unmarried.
17:38What are you doing?
17:40Put your dress down.
17:42Quickly.
17:43I thought you were doubting
17:45my purity for your magic.
17:48It's nothing like that.
17:50I have no intention of doing that.
17:52Really?
17:53Then why did you buy me?
17:58You don't need to know that.
18:01What am I saying?
18:03I fell in love with you
18:05on the day of the auction.
18:06I risked everything
18:07to get you.
18:08Now if I say this,
18:09she will think I am a fool.
18:11If we have to live together
18:12for the rest of our lives,
18:13then I don't want her
18:14to think I am a fool.
18:16We are going to live together.
18:18I will live with this beautiful girl
18:20under the same roof.
18:22Calm down.
18:23Control your horse.
18:24A powerful magician
18:25should always control himself.
18:29Nephi,
18:30I want to give you a room to stay.
18:33Choose a room of your choice.
18:35Will it be the same room
18:37where you will kill me?
18:39I told you I won't kill you.
18:41But I don't understand
18:43why you won't do that.
18:45If you don't want to kill me,
18:48then why did you buy me?
18:51Now I understand.
18:53It's obvious
18:54that she was made a slave
18:56in her childhood.
18:58And she was told
19:00that one day
19:01she will be sacrificed
19:02for some experiment.
19:04I don't know why
19:05she called herself unlucky.
19:07But maybe she doesn't want
19:08to talk about this.
19:09Maybe she has no one
19:10in this world.
19:12Just like me.
19:14Along with my family name,
19:16I don't even remember my parents.
19:18I just remember
19:19that I was raised on the streets.
19:23And while living on these streets,
19:25I got this name, Zagan.
19:31I bought you
19:32because I need you.
19:34So don't talk about dying.
19:36Do I need you?
19:38Are you telling the truth?
19:40Yes, absolutely.
19:41From now on,
19:42you will live only for me.
19:50Yes.
19:56Okay,
19:57so tell me
19:58how is your room?
19:59What kind of room should I give her?
20:01Maybe a room
20:02from where she can see.
20:04Aren't you afraid of heights?
20:06No.
20:07I will agree
20:08to hang me
20:09as you want.
20:10Now why are you
20:11forcing yourself
20:12to hang yourself?
20:13Forgive me, master.
20:14As soon as you
20:15mentioned heights,
20:16this thought
20:17came to my mind.
20:18Save some hope
20:19in yourself.
20:26Huh!
20:32Walk carefully.
20:34The stairs here
20:35are very narrow.
20:36Okay.
20:41Hey,
20:42how did this happen?
20:44Have I still held
20:45Nefi's hand?
20:46If I let go now,
20:47she will feel weird.
20:48Wow,
20:49such a soft
20:50and soft hand.
20:56This room
20:57is mostly empty.
20:58There will be some
20:59dirt inside,
21:00but...
21:07If you want,
21:08you can also
21:09stab me in the head.
21:10Hey,
21:11are you going to die again?
21:12Look,
21:13this is...
21:14our plan
21:15to save this fort
21:16from the air enemies.
21:18By the way,
21:19this never
21:20happened to me.
21:21But for you,
21:22this room
21:23can be emptied.
21:25Just give me a minute.
21:37I didn't think
21:38this room
21:39would be able to stay,
21:40but...
21:41at least
21:42now she won't
21:43be afraid of me.
21:45I have never seen
21:46such a dangerous
21:47magic, master.
21:48Oh,
21:49even a small explosion
21:50can scare a lady.
21:52What else can happen
21:53to take advice
21:54from a fool like you?
21:56This room
21:57is still not
21:58able to stay.
21:59Do you really
22:00think so?
22:17Do you like life?
22:18Yes.
22:21I don't know.
22:30We can't get there.
22:31I can understand.
22:40Master,
22:42if you don't mind,
22:43can I stay
22:44in this room?
22:48Won't this dirt
22:49make any difference?
22:50No.
22:52And that's because
22:53you have prepared
22:54this room for me.
22:57Okay,
22:58you can stay here.
23:00Thank you, master.
23:04Did I say
23:05anything wrong?
23:06No.
23:08I don't even know
23:09who thanked me
23:10for the last time.
23:13I also thanked
23:14someone after a long time.
23:18Really?
23:19Yes.
