At the triumphal banquet after killing the Demon King, Ludwigs entered a fan world where good and evil were reversed.
The witch's magic mirror told him that the compassionate Holy Father hero like him was no longer popular. People preferred the contrasting, beautiful, strong and tragic villain, the Demon King, who was decisive in killing. So in this fan world, the Demon King is the hero, and Ludwigs, the original hero, is the Demon King.
He only needs to wait for Ludwig in the parallel world to be killed by the hero, his body to be carried back to the capital and sculpted into a monument to the hero, and his soul to be sealed by the kingdom's number one magician under everyone's rebuke - that is to say, the fan story ends successfully - and he can return to his own world.
The idle Ludwig was walking through the streets of the kingdom, and every adventurer was discussing this question: how to kill Ludwig in this world.
Only Ludwig, who came from another world, did not believe that he would be a morally corrupt villain in this world.
Later, Ludwigs fled into the Demon King's forest because he had the same face as the Demon King and was hunted down. The Demon King's subordinates took him to the Demon King's palace.
Only he is willing to lean down to the devil who has nightmares every night and kiss the devil's broken soul.
"How can I save you?"
——With tears, with laughter, with all my life.
——With the pain of the past and the loyalty of childhood. *
With this body of ruined bones and blood.
This life and the next life,
Let the other "you" have all the deepest feelings that you have ever had.
*Adapted from the sonnet "How I Love You" by the British poet Elizabeth Browning
