Kim Yong-cheol had always admired heroes.

Reality, however, had turned him into something far less admirable. Then death came—and when he opened his eyes again, he was Roan, the Demon King and final villain of his favorite adult game, *Legend of the Holy Hero*.

Roan possessed everything a man could desire: overwhelming power, absolute authority, immense wealth, and a castle filled with beautiful women. He was also humanity’s greatest enemy, a cruel tyrant destined to be slain by the Hero in one year.

Yong-cheol had no intention of following that ending.

His plan was simple: stop the war, repair the Demon King’s ruined nation, treat his subjects properly, and abandon villainy before the Hero arrived. If he lived justly enough, perhaps he could escape the fate waiting for him.

But the former Roan left behind more than a terrible reputation. Slaves, political enemies, fanatically loyal retainers, broken relationships, dangerous powers, and game-like skills now belonged to Yong-cheol. Every merciful decision altered affection values, alliances, and events that were never supposed to change.

And the more he tried to rewrite the Demon King’s story, the clearer it became that this world—and Roan himself—held secrets that had never appeared in the game.

A dark adult fantasy of kingdom building, politics, war, romance, and a villain’s attempt to become the hero he once dreamed of.
