[Episode 1] Genius vs. Genius. Demon vs. Human. The brain-battle sci-fi fantasy novel where chosen historical geniuses confront demons with 'logic': 'The Logic Demon and the Genealogy of Paradox' [King Hammurabi vs. Baal of Greed]

Hello, this is Tanaka Pasta.
Today, I would like to introduce the memorable first episode of the serialized novel 'The Logic Demon and the Genealogy of Paradox,' which depicts a life-or-death brain battle between historical geniuses and demons.
The opponent is a demon with absolute power that far surpasses humans. When faced with such unreasonable violence, how do humans stand up to it using only 'wisdom' and 'logic'? I hope you enjoy this extreme battle of wits.

👿 [Synopsis] Historical Sci-Fi Fantasy Novel 'The Logic Demon and the Genealogy of Paradox' - Episode 1: The Throne of the Code and the Self-Destruction of the Greedy Demon

'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'—was that famous law a trap to ensnare a demon!?

18th century BC, ancient Babylon where dust dances.
In an era of chaos ruled by violence and plunder, 'Baal of Greed,' one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hell, descends upon the throne of the young King Hammurabi.

'In exchange for your soul, I will grant any three wishes.'

It is a sweet and cruel death contract with a demon of absolute power that has led hundreds of kings to ruin.

While everyone else drowns in their own desires and self-destructs, the cold-hearted king does not change his expression, and forces a 'strange law' that even the demon could not have predicted to be incorporated as an absolute rule of the world.

What is the terrifying 'trap of words' that a human (the king) has set against overwhelming violence (the demon)?

Humanity's cold logic mercilessly tramples the absolute strong!
A thrilling brain-battle suspense hidden behind the scenes of history, opening now.
