An epic fantasy of the powerful human hero who hates humans and aims to become the next Demon Lord!

After the Demon Lord is slain at the hands of a lone human warrior, humans rejoice over the end of his reign of terror. But an intense tournament of powerful fighters hoping to be crowned the next Demon Lord has drawn in the unlikeliest of contestants—Helck, who claims to hate humans but is one himself! How will Helck change the course of the war between demons and humankind?

Helck continues to lay bare the harrowing tale of how he became the mighty—and disgraced—hero he is today. In the past, after his brother, Cless, sustained near-fatal injuries during an encounter with the Demon Lord, Helck set out to the Demon Lords castle in his stead. But what awaited him was a shocking revelation about demonkind that no human could ever believe.

As Helck delved deeper into the mysteries of the Demon Lord's castle, he discovered a dark secret that would forever change the course of his destiny. The Demon Lord was not the true ruler of the realm, but a puppet controlled by an ancient evil entity. Helck's quest to become the next Demon Lord became a quest to destroy the true enemy and save the realm from destruction.

With the help of a few loyal allies, Helck set out on a perilous journey to confront the ancient evil entity and bring it to its knees. Along the way, he faced countless challenges and obstacles, including powerful demons, treacherous traps, and his own inner demons. But Helck was determined to succeed, and he used his powers and knowledge to overcome every obstacle in his path.

In the end, Helck emerged victorious, destroying the ancient evil entity and freeing the realm from its grip. He was hailed as a hero by humans and demons alike, and his name became synonymous with bravery and courage. But Helck knew that his journey was far from over, and he was determined to use his newfound powers to protect the realm from future threats.

As he looked out over the land, Helck knew that he had finally found his purpose in life. He had become the next Demon Lord, but he had also become a protector of the realm and a symbol of hope for all who lived there. And he knew that he would never forget the lessons he had learned on his journey, and that he would use his powers to make the world a better place, one step at a time.
