In a world where no hero was ever chosen,

Kail chose to become one.

No prophecy. No blessing. No divine will.

Just a sword… and the resolve to stand where no one else would.

He fought.
He bled.
He endured everything,

And in the end, he killed the Demon King.

That should have made him a hero.

Instead, it made him a lie.

Branded a fraud.
Abandoned by the very people he protected.
Cast out as if his sacrifice meant nothing.

So Kail disappeared.

But exile didn’t free him.

A former comrade returns, no longer able to ignore the truth.
A spreading curse demands a power only he possesses.
And a secret he can never reveal,

The Demon King still lives… inside the one person he must protect.

As the empire begins to crack under new threats, the ones who once cast him aside start to look back.

With doubt.

With regret.

With something far more dangerous,

Obsession.

If he was never a real hero…

Why does the world refuse to let him go?
