Den is a young man named David Ellis Norman. Following directions left for him on a note and a diagram from his missing uncle Dan, David builds another electronic apparatus. The apparatus opens a gateway to a fantasy world named “Neverwhere”, where he was transformed into a hairless, nude, muscular, above-normal strength with martial arts fighting skills; prodigiously sexually endowed adventurer. Confused by his strange trip, he can only remember the acronym of his real name (DEN), and begins calling himself “Den”.

Story/Spoilers 
The planet Zomere is inhabited by an eusocial species similar to humans but oviparous. A breeding queen rules them. Females are non-sexual muscular warriors called Kils or workers called Works, and males are called Mals. After an attack by giant spiders the dying queen sends a Kil, a pre-queen simply named “Kil”, to found a new colony in Dremurth (Neverwhere) bringing with her Mals, Works, and eggs to seek the “Magic Scepter” (the Locnar). The ship crashes and only Kil and a skeletal Mal (named “Mal”, who will become the first Den) survive. Their only remaining egg produces a human baby, the second Den. Once they land they meet Zeg, a Vermian lookalike, Zomuk and his slave cook Pucca who live in Vermian’s castle from the prequel. At the end of the story, Zeg kidnaps a pregnant Pucca and the second Den, and Mal kills Zomuk.
