About this story
Demon King Erizen thought all Heroes were insane.
For one thousand years, he ruled over the continent of Thalmyra, with lunatic bands of ‘Heroic’ Chosen Ones constantly trying to end his reign.
None ever came close. Until one day, a random peasant girl from the back-end village of nowhere manifested the Holy Sword, led a Crusade to his door, and promptly ended his life before dying herself seconds later.
An absurd ending to his pointless life. Yet even as he died alongside the smiling Heroine, Erizen could not understand.
Why were all heroes like this? Why did they not care for their lives?
What gave them such suicidal strength?
[System Intervention]
[Do you wish to reincarnate as a new Demon King?]
Reincarnate? Ridiculous. Starting over the same would not give him the answers he desperately seeks.
No… If he could reincarnate, there was only one choice.
“I wish… to be a Hero.”
[... Accepted. Alignment Change Confirmed]
If he was going to do this, then he was going to do it right. And if even a peasant’s heroism is enough strength to kill him…
Then this heroic Demon King vows to become nothing but the strongest.
