Covenant Castle is in the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
The people of the Demon Tribe are able to make a pact with an element after which they can then use magic of that element. Their only distinguishing traits are their long lives and the ability to use magic. Yuri becomes the king of a nation where all of the citizens are demons, but they appear indistinguishable from humans. The story follows the adventures of Yuri Shibuya, an average 15-year-old Japanese high school student, who is suddenly transported to another world where he is told that he is now the king of demons. Kyo Kara Maoh! ( 今日から㋮王!, Kyō Kara Maō!, 'Demon King from Today!') is a series of Japanese light novels written by Tomo Takabayashi and illustrated by Temari Matsumoto.
