THE BETRAYED HERO IS REBORN AS A DEMON They say there are two sides to every story. Kael knew this as a platitude, a comfortable saying meant for comfortable people who had never had to make the hard choices. As the Hero of Lumina, his path had been clear: vanquish the Demon King, save humanity, and bring peace to the realm. Black and white. Good and evil. The way the world was supposed to work. Until the night his closest companions—friends he had bled with, mourned with, and saved countless times—drove blessed steel through his heart. Death should have been the end. Instead, it was merely a transition. Born again in the flesh of a demon child, Azreth entered a world painted in shades of crimson rather than the pristine white of Lumina. Here, humans were not the victims but the monsters, sweeping through villages with holy fire and righteous hatred. Here, demons fought not for conquest but survival. When humans slaughtered his new demon parents before his eyes, the last of Kael''''s certainty died with them. There was no absolute good, no irredeemable evil—only perspective. Only the stories we tell ourselves to justify the blood on our hands. Now Azreth walks between worlds, carrying the memories of a human hero and the growing power of a demon lord. In a realm where strength determines survival, he must become more powerful than any demon before him. In a society where beauty hides cruelty and obsession masquerades as devotion, he will find dangerous allies whose love is as fierce as their methods are merciless. The Church believes they eliminated their greatest threat when they orchestrated the hero''''s fall. They have no idea what they''''ve created instead. The Betrayed Hero is Reborn as a Demon is a dark fantasy tale of revenge, moral ambiguity, and the thin line between love and obsession. Follow Azreth''''s journey from powerless victim to the most feared being in two realms, as he builds a new understanding of justice—and a harem of deadly, devoted demon women who will help him claim it.
