Preface
As the title suggests, this book is a continuation of the first volume and it is assumed that the reader has already familiarized themselves with its contents; however, considering the illegality of such literature in most countries of Western Visteria, I allow for the possibility that this volume may have come into your hands separately from other parts of this series, and therefore some information in this and subsequent volumes will be repeated.

The Abyss and Its Lords
The Abyss is one of the names for the world of demons, divided into domains. In some religions, it is believed that the souls of sinners end up here, but since there is no such concept in Arterianism, it has not gained widespread popularity within Western Visteria. The domains of the Abyss are ruled by entities known by names such as "lords," "higher demons," and so on. Currently, we count 66 demonic lords and 65 domains. In this volume, I will tell you about the next eight lords, their summoning methods, and the specifics of their contracts.

Effect
Reading this book allows the character to change their conviction to "demonology" and acquire the necessary knowledge to perform a ritual. A demon is summoned randomly, +50% if the character is interested in someone specific, and another +30% if certain conditions are met before performing the ritual (doing something that attracts the attention of the desired demon, such as adopting a cat, organizing an orgy, etc.).

And this happened in front of the other students who came to train?

Well, probably yes.

"Whose ancestors were practicing perversions there?"
- Ha-ha! Sounds interesting. But the opposite would be even better, - Veserod smiled. - Hunting is my element, after all.

— That remains to be seen... In the hunt for love, different tools and skills are important, after all.
