It was on the eve of the Demon Lord and the Hero killing each other on the battlefield.
The Demon Lord used a reincarnation spell, hoping to seize the Hero's body.
If the story followed a traditional heroic path, the Hero would withstand the Demon Lord's possession through the calls of his companions and his unyielding will, forging a heroic legend praised by all.
If it followed a bizarre adventure, the Demon Lord would take over the Hero's body and sweep across the continent once more. The Hero's descendants would gather their allies and fight back. (JoJo, your body will be mine, Dio!)
But in this story, Wu Zhong, born on Earth and raised in the new century, discovers that he has transmigrated and even taken over the Hero's body. What's more, the souls of both the Demon Lord and the Hero still exist inside him?
In reality, one side is the lofty church, which calls him a promising young hero and wants to cultivate him so he can sing its praises. The other is the Demon Lord's army, which venerates him as the Demon Lord reborn and lies in wait in secret.
Wu Zhong does his best to play his part and stay alive, making up all kinds of excuses to conceal his false identity. But one day, he discovers that the people he casually invented out of thin air, pretending to have friends, seem to actually exist in this world...
