A manga adaptation, illustrated by Tsubasa Hazuki, started serialization in June 2017 on Earth Star Entertainment’s Comic Earth Star website and is still ongoing. Both the light novel and manga are licensed in English by J-Novel Club.
The light novel’s plot is set in the year 2800, where Lufas Maphaahl, also known as The Black-Winged Tyrant and leader of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, has returned. A man finds himself trapped in her body, 200 years after her defeat in the game Exgate Online during a player-made event. Now, living in the real world, Lufas must navigate her past legacy of fear, face the monsters she once unleashed, and seek answers in the world of Exgate.
