He kept the demons in check for three thousand years. His reward was a grave. Iael Varkon was the Demon King — the wall between the human realm and true evil, the one force every monster feared enough to stay leashed. Then someone close enough to know his every move framed him for a massacre of ten thousand innocents, stole a divine weapon to seal the lie, and watched the world he protected turn its blades on him. They buried him for it. For three thousand years. Now he's back — and waiting in his skull is a Hero System, glowing with quests to save the world, reward points, and a script demanding he play the noble savior. Iael doesn't want to be a hero. He wants to find the traitor who buried him, make his enemies' bloodlines pay, and bring the world that betrayed him to its knees — and if the System wants to hand him power for playing along, he'll take every point of it. But vengeance built on a lie has a way of becoming the very thing it swore to destroy. And somewhere between the allies he never meant to gain and the war he's building toward, Iael will have to answer a question the System never asks: What do you become when you get everything you wanted — and it still isn't enough?
