Soul of the Brave

After dying from overwork as a 996 wage slave, Lingbo is appointed by a god to reincarnate as a hero in another world and defeat the Demon King.

He had planned to put on an act, get through the job, and go back to enjoying himself. But a mistake during the reincarnation ritual sent his soul into the body of a five-year-old boy.

The boy's name is Emmer Rude.

The attempt to take over his body failed, leaving the two of them sharing it.

One has extraordinary magical talent but cannot use his full power. The other can briefly take control of their body, yet finds it harder and harder to stay uninvolved as they fight side by side.

Then disaster destroys Emmer's home and takes away the person he cherished most.

Seeking revenge, the boy sets out to defeat the Demon King.

The joys and sorrows they encounter along the way gradually make them realize that the Demon King may not be evil, and the hero may not be good.

And the wage slave who had once wanted nothing more than to die sees the world anew.

The shadows of their two souls begin to merge.

When they finally reach the Demon King's castle, what awaits them is a truth beyond anything they imagined.

What will the hero choose this time?
