The Vile Hero Wished to Become the Crystal Tree's Blood Princess

After successfully defeating the Demon God, the unruly and wicked hero Walter drank and sang as he headed back to the royal capital, ready to enjoy a wonderful life of throwing money around. But along the way, he ran into four new heroes summoned by the emperor.

Each of the four new heroes had exceptional talents and a signature ability. Mind control, time stops, magical beast modification, and erasure from existence: their four blessings meant the battle didn't last long.

After his defeat, Walter suffered the ultimate humiliation. His soul was extracted and subjected to all manner of judgments, while his body was turned into a twisted, mindless puppet.

Next, the new heroes installed Walter's soul in an alchemical doll girl: weak and frail, but with powerful regenerative abilities. Then they exiled her to the City of Frenzy in the northern Empire.

After this hellish ending, Walter, desperate for release, prayed incessantly. The ones who answered were three even more twisted and deranged Old Gods.

"We grant you supreme power, an immortal body, and peerless wisdom, Notros."

"Power, surge... It didn't work?"
