Rather than attaining a prestigious position as an imperial wizard, Toma was instead assigned a dead-end job as an undersecretary to a minor imperial bureaucrat. Thankfully, fate had something more important than a life of paperwork and policy meetings in store for him - while reviewing his superiors discretionary budget, he discovered a number of small and mysterious transactions, and eventually exposed the corrupt bureaucrats plot to murder the empress and replace her with a demonic doppelganger under the control of the plots true mastermind - the Diabolist.<br/><br/>Toma arrived at the empress' chambers after fighting his way through demons and cultists (and stepping over a lot of dead royal guards), just in time to intervene in the climatic battle between the sovereign and her would-be doppelganger. With his help, the empress was able to slay her attacker, and Toma was awarded the position of her personal assistant and secretary, a position he retained for a year until he was re-assigned to a duty more important than writing the empress' correspondences and planning her daily schedule.
