J-Novel Club publishes the light novel series in English, and describes the story as:
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto is so powerful that he is lauded as the “Demon Lord” by other players. One day, he is summoned to another world – but with the same appearance he had in the game! There, he meets two girls who both proclaim themselves to be his Summoner. They had performed an Enslavement Ritual to turn him into their Summon... but that's when Takuma's passive ability "Magic Reflection" activated! Instead, it was the girls who had become enslaved! Though Takuma may have been the strongest Sorcerer there was, he had no idea how to talk with other people. That's when he makes his choice: to act based on his persona from the game!
“Amazing? But of course... I am Diablo, the being known and feared as the Demon Lord!”
So begins a tale of adventure with an earth-shakingly powerful Demon Lord (or at least someone who acts like one) taking on another world!

Crunchyroll streamed the first season and describes the second season as:
After being summoned to another world as his character from a game, Diablo (Real Name: Sakamoto Takuma), enjoys life in a world just like his game where two women, Shera and Rem, both insist, “I’m the one who summoned him!”
Along the way, he fights the elite soldiers of the elves’ kingdom as well as the Fallen, and even subjugates the Demon Lord Krebskulm, and so on.
He proclaims, “My name is Diablo. A Demon Lord from another world!” and pretends to be a Demon Lord as he faces down powerful foes while occasionally being overwhelmed by the beautiful women with him and building a firm bond of trust between them.
—-Until one day.
Diablo and the others are traveling through the woods around the eastern lake when they encounter a lone girl in tatters.
“A-Are… you a God?”
The woman is Lumachina, a High Priest of the Church being pursued by a Paladin…!
The (pretend) Demon Lord with no social skills plunges into the mess with absolute strength!
These dream-packed tales of a Demon Lord from another world and the women who summoned him begin once again!
