Summary by Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu

When it comes to the fantastic MMORPG Cross Reverie, none can match the power of the Devil Demon King. Owning the rarest artifacts in the game and a unique player level, he dominates anyone stupid enough to take him down. But despite his terrible reputation, Diablo’s real identity is Takuma Sakamoto, a hikikomori player who lacks social skills. Defeating desperate opponents every day, Takuma cares nothing but his virtual life, until a summoning spell suddenly transports him to another world, where he disguises himself as Diablo.

Takuma is greeted by two girls beckoning him in this new world reminiscent of his favorite game: Petite Pantherian adventurer Rem Galeu and big boobed elf summoner Shera L. Greenwood. They perform a captivity ritual to suppress him, but the spell backfires causing them to become slaves. With the situation getting weirder than ever, Takuma decides to accompany the girls to find a way to terminate their contract as he learns to adjust to his new presence as the menacing Demon King.
