People called him a genius—but Agares never believed it.

Tired of expectations, he abandoned everything to live an ordinary life, working just to survive in a cruel world.

But fate had other plans.

A sudden transmigration took Agares into a world of swords and sorcery—a land ravaged by demons, ruled by power, and merciless to the weak. 

To his shock, he awakens as one of the Chosen Heroes. Sounds like a dream come true?

Wrong.

"That's a cursed job!"
 "He's no hero—he's a demon in disguise!"
 "Kill him! For the sake of the world!"

[DING! Congratulations, you have obtained a Job.]
[Name: Agares]
[Job: Saber]

Hunted by the empire he was meant to protect, feared for the power he never asked for, Agares finds himself branded a threat to humanity. All because of a job he didn’t choose.

Just as the noose tightens, a red-eyed woman named Liel offers him a different path:

“You were born to be more than their hero.”
“The empire betrayed you. Humanity rejected you. Even nature turns away.”
“Why not embrace what they fear —and become the successor of the Demon Emperor?”

Now, Agares has a choice: run, or rise.

This is the beginning of his war.

 A war not just for survival —but for vengeance.

[DING! Congratulations, Agares! You have killed a monster]


[DING! Congratulations, Agares! You have obtained dropped items]


Agares reached out and collected the dropped items that had been floating above the corpses of the dead widowlings.


They died and rotted, their bodies swarmed by flies and other insects, decomposing and returning to the earth fast without leaving a trace.


At the very least, he had earned some monster cores and copper coins after killing all five monsters.


The more monsters he killed, the more EXP and items he gained.


Even so, Agares's journey was far from easy. Ahead, thousands of powerful monsters awaited challengers. If he wasn't careful, he could die in vain.


Unlike the previous dungeon corridors that always remained open, what lay before Agares now was a corridor sealed by a door.
