The princess has been kidnapped by the Demon King.
Legend says the Demon King is cruel and merciless, with countless lives on his hands. The princess is in grave danger, and the king has issued an urgent, exorbitant reward.
A rookie hero is given the mission in a moment of crisis and sets out with a battered sword in hand.
In the first month, the hero meets an apprentice wizard who shares his ideals. The two stay up all night talking, feel they have found a kindred spirit, and decide to embark together on the long journey to defeat the Demon King.
The hero is full of fighting spirit: We can definitely save the princess!
Apprentice wizard x the Demon King himself √ nods, deeply moved and approving: I believe in you!
In the second month, the hero meets a handsome male priest. The three stay up all night talking, feel they have found kindred spirits, and decide to embark together on the long journey to defeat the Demon King.
The hero is brimming with ambition: We can definitely rescue the princess!
The Demon King sneers arrogantly: A mere Demon King? He's as good as dead!
Priest x the princess herself √ looks complicatedly at the crooked-mouthed Demon King beside her, then at the fired-up hero.
Princess: "...Good luck, you guys."

The king has offered an exorbitant reward, but no one has stepped forward to claim it.
There's only one reason: the current Demon King is the youngest in history, yet more powerful than any Demon King of the past tens of millions of years.
They say he can sever the ridge of Mount Monton with his bare hands, pluck an enemy general's head off with a flick of his finger, and make even the usually arrogant dragons tremble and bow when he casually lifts his bone whip.
A heaven-sent genius, a legendary figure, and without question the strongest being across all ages.
*
In the end, the one who steps up to claim the reward is an ignorant young man from a remote village.
His armor is a patchwork of battered scraps, and he clutches a heavy sword mottled with rust. His youthful innocence still shows in his features, and he smiles brightly atop the platform.
No one thinks he can really defeat the Demon King. Everyone assumes he died along the way long ago.
*
Until the day the banners fluttered and the hero returned to the imperial capital at the head of thousands of troops, escorting the princess to her coronation as empress.
*
The Demon King, the mentor behind the scenes, smiles faintly: That's right, I trained him myself. How's that? Pretty impressive, huh?
