The Creature from the Darkness
Yuri is captured along with Wolfram and taken to Big Cimarion in order to be handed over to a hypnotized King Belar. Their transport is attacked by bandits who are led by a familiar face. The two of them are taken to the bandit's hideout where they find old enemies who have become reasonably good people. The masked figure sends a giant blue dog-like demon and several small dog-like demons to attack the hideout and retrieve Wolfram and Yuri. Yuri's power, in the form of water dragons, is little match for the power of the unusual beast master. Will Yuri be able to overcome these strange new foes and can anyone help him?

Kyo Kara Maoh! - God (?) Save Our King!
Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes. The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world. Much to his subjects' dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this lands' customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak.
