The Scholar's Great Work
in Project ChaosThere are many things that we understand and have yet to understand. Many things are meant to be understood or are awaiting to be. There are also many things that are not understood. And there are some things that are not meant for understanding for beings such as ourselves. Perhaps it is best for such things to remain as so, for he who wishes to seek such things could only bring about disaster.
Synopsis
Before he was reincarnated as a devil, Adam Wilmstead was a non-mage, young, and upcoming paracultist. Fascinated by the paranormal, occult, and alchemy, Wilmstead was murdered before completing his first work.
Reincarnated as a devil in the plane of Infernus, Adam used the opportunity to continue his research. At the top of his class at the University of Janiil, Wilmstead often goes on research expeditions, sometimes even going into other Planes of Existences.
One day, Adam decides to go on an expedition into the Crossroads, the Realm’s indescribable beauty oftentimes inspiring him to construct new theories on his work. This expedition, however, brings him much more than he could ever bargain for.
What is It

Dark fantasy with a touch of mystery is the intended genre.
