Rule #1: Don't look at the demon. When I moved into my uncle's house, I expected my relatives to be like me - outcast sorcerers who did not practice magic. I was right about the sorcerers. But I was very wrong about everything else. Rule No. 2: Don’t listen to the demon. My uncle chose a very dangerous path. He calls creatures of darkness into our world, binds them to a contract and sells them to the highest bidder. And I have to pretend there's nothing dangerous or illegal about it. Rule #3: Don't talk to the demon. All I had to do was stay away from my uncle's illegal business. Pretend that I don't notice the demon-summoning circle in our basement. Pretend that I don't notice the dark creature caught in the circle. Pretend that I'm not breaking the rules. But I broke them, and now it's too late to change anything.
