It's the 31st century but Earth has suffered a thousand-year period of cultural and technological stagnation. The protagonist, AntiHero mage Draco, is attacked in his room one night by a [[HornyDevils demon]] named Lascivus who is looking for a meal.

However, they then require some extra from from Lascivus to get back to Earth. Lascivus uses this chance to claim that now Draco owes her his life, and that as per demonic tradition, that debt falls under the jurisdiction of Lucifer. So Lascivus drags Draco through the circles to meet with The Devil and arrange just how Draco is gonna pay it off, whether he likes it or not.
Along the journey of paying off his debt, the group run into MadScientist Vengai-Ra, and dimensionally displaced SuperSoldier Ko

!!This novel contains examples of:
*AntiHero: Though he has a vague sense of right and wrong, Draco has few qualms about theft and murder
*AbsurdlySharpBlade: As a shapeshifter, Drakkengard can maintain a sharp edge at the molecular level.
*AllMythsAreTrue: Hell is pretty thickly populated with supernatural beings, and Lascivus even mentions that there have been rulers of the underworld other than Lucifer.
*BalanceOfGoodAndEvil: God has been missing for a long time, which caused the war between the Overworld and the Underworld to peter out into a defacto cease fire. This is implied to be a factor in the Thousand Years of Stagnation
*BlackAndGrayMorality: Almost the whole cast of the first book is a demon, criminal, or both.
*BottomlessMagazines: Ko's nanocloud can just make more from nearby raw materials.
*ByronicHero: Much of the plot comes down to Draco being a very ByronicHero but with no outlet or purpose through which to channel his passions.
*CombatClairvoyance: Once someone has decided to do something, Diana can read that since it's in the past.
*CompleteMonster: Malign. Draco doesn't even consider her a person anymore, and insists on calling her 'Abomination'
*DealWithTheDevil: The Devil runs Hell like an enterprise and most characters are tied to him that way.
*DefeatMeansFriendship: When Vengai-Ra and Ko are first met, it's because Lucifer wants Draco to send them to Hell. Later, they get lent to Draco as minions.
*CompleteImmortality: Rare, but not unheard of in the setting. Faerans are said to be such being. However the universe is vast enough that there's plenty of ways to get around it.
*EldritchLocation: the true geometry of Hell can't even be perceived by normal eyes. Lascivus grants Draco a glimpse and he still wasn't sure what he'd seen.
*EvilutionaryBiologist: most of Vengai-Ra's work is towards unlocking the secrets of the mortal body, without relying on such cruches as magic and miracles.
*TheFairFolk: One of Draco's tasks is to inform a member of TheFairFolk that she's behind on her debt payments. It doesn't go well.
*FreakOut: Draco is prone to vivid hallucinations, especially when under heavy stress.
*HornyDevils: Lascivus is the daughter of Lilith, the archetypal succubus, and has inherited a lot from her.
*Intangibility: Being from another universe with its own set of physical laws, Ko doesn't play well with local physics. Anything that would penetrate his body just goes right through.
*LabCoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Vengai-Ra wears one over beach clothes.
*LifeDrinker: Lascivus can drain the life out of a single person, or feast on lives that might have been via copulation.
*LivingWeapon: Drakkengard is a shapeshifting blob of living metal that spends most of her time either shaped like a sword or shaped like a girl.
*MadScientist: Vengai-Ra, who sees supernatural healing as unreliable and nearly impossible to advance. He made a DealWithTheDevil to gain scientific knowledge not available on his world.
*MadScientist'sLab: In true HammerHorror tradition, Vengai-Ra's lab is in a large gothic castle.
*ManipulativeBastard: Lucifer, bordering on paranoia when the characters realize they can't rule out him being behind nearly all the seeming coincidences that have happened so far.
*ManOfWealthAndTaste: Lucifer, naturally. He rarely adopts the same appearance twice, but almost all of them are sharply dressed.
*MirrorMatch: the dungeon Draco and Lascivus break out of is guarded by one of these. It's the offspring of the [[GreekMythology Greek Goddess Nemesis]] and take the appearance of a more heroic looking version of the main character.
*MoralEventHorizon: Malign is on the far side, taking great pleasure from slaughter and torture, and unable to tell pain from pleasure any more. Draco is deathly afraid of following in her footsteps.
*{{Seers}}: Diana is post-cognitive. She can 'know' anything that's taken place in the past, including thoughts, and her definition of 'past' extends to anything even immediately prior to the present. However it can be difficult to find just what she wants, and her human brain has trouble processing that much information.
*ShapeShifting: Drakkengard is a shapeshifting blob of living metal. Many demons are also capable of shapeshifting, though most just use Humanshifting to hide their true form.
*SuperSoldier: Ko was one on his world. He has a (slightly damaged) [[Cyborg supercomputer in his brain], and his BadassLongcoat actually contains a cloud of nanomachines able to put together weapons and ammunition for him.
*TragicVillain: Lucifer paints himself as such, insisting his rebellion was due to the injustice of YHVH's rule.
