Plot summary

A lesser demon named Jakabok Botch, who lived a traumatised childhood in Hell, especially due to his brutish, physically abusive demon of a father. To prevent himself from losing his mind, Jakabok decides to write violent, hate-filled papers in which he commits torture and patricide.

Jakabok finds himself in the 14th century, under the captivity of a corrupt priest and his partners.When he decides to run off into the forest. He approaches a young girl one of the partners' daughters in the midst of unholy ground, which is covered in demonic gore.

Jakabok then encounters a couple in the grass. Jakabok is forced to kill the hostile male counterpart, taking his clothes. At this point, Jakabok after several persuading attempts throughout the story threatens the reader one final time to burn the book and set him free. After realising that the reader is heartless and cold, he gives up on asking.
