It reached Hazama, a second-year student in class 2-C at Karukozaka High School. With his genius intellect, he became interested in the program, which most dismissed as a mere prank. He began his analysis of the program... He even succeeded in carrying himself to the land of the Expanse with the knowledge gained from it.  Partner, Amon. A demon summoned by Hazama using the Demon Summoning Program. Bound by the rule that summoned demons must obey their summoner, Amon accompanies Hazama to face the trials within the "Tower of Infinity". ▼ Amon in the main story of "if..."

Was it because of his exceptional intellect? Was it because of the unknown darkness within his heart? He was an enigmatic boy, misunderstood by everyone. While his high intelligence was widely acknowledged, his eccentric behavior left most students bewildered. He was envied, laughed at, and... alienated. His days were filled with the painful solitude of a life fueled solely by hatred of everything his school life was. hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt One day, as Hazama sat at his computer as usual, he stumbled upon something peculiar in the NET. "The Demon Summoning Program".  Most people dismissed it as a mere prank, but Hazama, fascinated by its mysterious title, read all the books he could find and mobilized all the intelligence he had to create the "machine" (COMP) capable of utilizing this program. With the dark knowledge thus obtained... He learned the art of summoning demons... Was it to break free from that mundane life he had? Or was it something brought about by madness? After meticulous preparations, followed by some kind of ritual, he arrived in front of a mysterious, colossal Tower....  -OPENING- hazama chapter smt How to get it for free? hazama chapter smt ＞...As Hazama entered the Tower, the gate behind him closed with a loud thud. In the process of studying the Demon Summoning Program he discovered the means to reach the Expanse... Half in doubt, he performed the ritual that led him here... According to his research, it seems that this Tower is a special place in the Expanse. ...Would his desire come true in this place? Overwhelming "power". Will he be able to bend... these idiots at school to his will? Thinking thus, Hazama let go of his fears. "Well... Bring it on." He stepped forward, his pace deliberate yet impatient, deeper into the Tower’s interior. hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt -FIRST BAX- -1F- ＞A demon appeared. Demon: ...Nice to meet you. I've been expecting you. Hazama: Who are you? Demon: I am The Hidden One, whom you have summoned to protect you in the Expanse... Name is Amon. As per the agreement between the son of man and the demon, I’m here to lend you my power. Hazama: So you're the one... Fine, give it to me. ＞Hazama inquired about the Tower. Amon: This is a pagan Tower even for me, so I don't know for sure, but it seems to be the place where all souls are born and return to, not only monsters and humans, but animals and plants as well... hazama chapter smt How to dowload it? hazama chapter smt It is a place where all souls and bodies intertwine and eventually separate; the place that controls matter and spirit, and if you control this place, you will have power unlike any other. ...Is this the reason you came here? ＞Hazama nodded. Amon: From now on, my strength and wisdom are yours. However, with my current strength, we will face many difficulties in the future. I must regain my power in battle to become stronger than any other demon. Also, somewhere in this Tower there are three of my most loyal servants, who, if we can get them on our side, will be a force to be reckoned with. Well, My Lord, please give me your command. ＞Deity Amon joined your party.  Expanse Entity: This is the Tower of Infinity. It's a sealed-off world... Amon: Lord Hazama, why don't you equip any weapons? hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt The Tower is dangerous, so please use this. ＞Amon pulled out something that looked like a knife. Amon: This is the Sacrificial Vessel; it has more power than it seems. Amon: Just by swinging it, the "curse" inside will attack for you. You can strengthen the attack by sacrificing demons, and the stronger the demon is, the stronger the attack will be. However, to capture strong demons, you yourself must be strong as well. ＞You have received the Sacrificial Vessel. Amon: Please be diligent... -3F- Expanse Entity (Before defeating Apaosha): It's futile trying to reach the top of the Tower. The Great Gate of Daena on the 6th floor is closed, and even if you could get to it, you wouldn't be able to open it... hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt Expanse Entity (After defeating Apaosha): I don't know who did it, but the Great Gate of Daena has opened. I guess I'll just go to the city on the 6th floor. Expanse Entity (Before defeating Apaosha): The city on the upper floor isn't moving thanks to Apaosha. Expanse Entity (After defeating Apaosha): Now that Apaosha's gone, the city's alive again... I think I'll bathe in the Recovery Fountain. Expanse Entity: The Tower is divided into four areas called "Bax". So, starting from the bottom of the Tower, we have the 1st Bax, the 2nd Bax, the 3rd Bax... and at the very top, there is even the 4th Bax. Got it? Expanse Entity: The gates between the Baxes have been sealed since the Demon King took control of this place. To open a gate, you need to nullify the demonic power that governs that area.

Amon: So this is the Great Gate of Daena... hazama chapter smt PasteShr hazama chapter smt It looks like we need a key to open this gate.

Apaosha: Who goes there!? Opening the gate without my permission! You will face punishment for doing this... And I'll make you get it! Come over here!  Wilder Apaosha appeared!

Sobek: Oh, Amon, you've returned? hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt Amon: You're back under my command. Sobek: Hmm... You know that our master-servant relationship was broken when I was sealed. Which means... Amon: I know... The only way to make you work for me again is to defeat you. Sobek: He-he-he-he, just as I expected from you, straight to the point! If you want me to be your servant, prove your strength! Let's go!! Avatar Sobek appeared!

In a place like this, corpses are left, to be devoured by birds... It's called "sky burial". Amon: A place like this is called "Dakhma". hazama chapter smt How to get it? hazama chapter smt Hazama: I see... Amon: In the human world, birds serve as spirit carriers. They feed on the spirits of the dead and carry them away. In a sense, Dakhma functions as a trading post for spirits, so to speak. In the Expanse, this Tower’s Dakhma serves as a place where spirits are either welcomed or sent away. Hazama: ...You probably know of the demons that rule this Tower... Across the desert lands where Dakhmas exist in the human world, ancient teachings have been passed down through generations... These teachings revolve around the belief in the existence of the Evil God Angra Mainyu, who stands in opposition to the Benevolent God Ahura Mazda... So... I assume I just need to defeat this Evil God, right? Amon: ...Quite knowledgeable, Lord Hazama... Hazama: Hmm... Not only will I destroy the Evil God... I'll go even further than that. Amon: ...?
