Dead Rock is an academy where denizens of the demon world are trained to conquer the human world as demon rulers. Yakuto, a demon boy with the roots of a black dragon, is one of seven out of one thousand applicants who survive the school's deadly special entrance exam into Class F. On his first day of class, Yakuto murders his homeroom teacher and reveals his ambition to kill God, a supreme evil being who serves as Dead Rock's principal.
