On the continent, there was a big war.

A war between an alliance of humans, elves, and beastmen and against demons.

The will of countless lives, including warriors, clashed with the devil’s army that was trying to invade the continent.

“Ha… … , ha… … .”

I took a deep breath and looked around. You can see red puddles scattered on the ground and flames covering the battlefield.

There were battles big and small.

There were many sacrifices.

There was a tearing sadness.

The continent became a sea of fire due to demons trying to devour it.

At one point, the continent was almost completely overrun, but strong resistance made it this far.

And now we have reached the end.

The final battle between the Demon King and his group of warriors is taking place right before our eyes.

really… … last.

If the Demon King is defeated, it is a victory for the Continental Alliance.

… … Victory.

It’s a really nice word, but it doesn’t really appeal to me.

“You rotten hunchback! Come help me! ”

From a distance, I can hear the orders of my damn superior calling me.

why me?

“Kaaagh—!!”

Fuck, why me?

Good death.

While the Demon King and the Hero were fighting, the Empire’s few remaining troops were fighting the remnants of the Demon Race. I am just a soldier belonging to the empire. Originally, I would still have to fight hard for the greater good… … .

“Ha… … , That sucks.”

Now I hated everything.

This strange life was a series of eventful pains.

Even when everyone hated me, I fought for the Empire. If only I had suffered, I would have been fortunate. However, the world was even more out of sync.

The superiors often fought, and there was no harmony between the races.

Moreover, the warrior’s party was busy passing each other.

Thanks to this, precious family members died.

A lot of people died.

In the end, this was the final battle with the Demon King, but there were many better ways.

“Khaaak!”

The monster that killed my superior is coming to kill me. Still, I still didn’t want to die, so I picked up my sword and fought the monster. After getting hit a few times and stabbing with the sword, I defeated the monster.

… … If these monsters were in perfect condition, I could kill a few more, but for me, who had been fighting continuously until now, this was slowly reaching my limit. I stumbled and fell to my knees.

I look at the blood soaking my feet. The hideous appearance caused by the burns and the bent waist are visible. I don’t even want to move anymore. Completely relax and place your body on the ground.

Since when did it start?

My life is ruined.

Becoming a mere soldier… … .

When you burn in a fire due to someone’s conspiracy?

When you were helping others and got hit by a falling rock and became a hunchback?

When you get teased for being gross?

When you get beaten up by a warrior party for an unfair reason?

When my family was killed?

iced coffee–.

“Lucia—.”

It reminds me of the woman I loved who died a few days ago.

A noble woman who loved such a worthless man.

Thanks to her, I was able to survive until now without breaking down.

But now without Lucia, there was nothing left for me.

Even if peace comes to this world, I will be alone.

A life of misery and ridicule.

A life without anything.

“Kaaaa—! Hero—!! I salute your strength! But now your strength has run out!!!”

… … It seems that peace will never come to this world.

“Let’s finish it!”

Damn you guys.

If you were going to lose like that, what on earth were you doing all this time?

I hear a dull sound next to me. When I glanced, I saw that the warrior had collapsed, completely ruined. The warrior did not move a muscle. Well, it was a bland death.

“Kuh… … Hehehe.”

The Demon King came nearby to confirm the hero’s death, but as someone who had already experienced pain comparable to death several times, I was surprisingly not afraid. I wouldn’t have known if my precious person had been alive, but now I didn’t think it would matter if they died.

“Khaaaa!!”

After confirming that the hero was dead, the Demon King roared powerfully. Additionally, you can hear the spirits of the demons rising. If only the Demon King dies, the rest of the Demons will lose their focus and can be dealt with naturally.

And under the same premise that if the hero dies, the continent will end, we can see that the world is now over.

“Cool—Luck.”

The demon lord next to me tilted and barely managed to avoid falling. Seeing that he was holding on to the ground with his hands as support, it seemed like the Demon King was almost at his limit.

Year of the warrior.

Just hold on a little longer, you lost by just one.

for a moment.

Now that I think about it, the year of the hero was also the year of the first year… … , Isn’t this devil bastard the culprit behind everything?

“Cluck, crunch.”

Originally, I didn’t care if I was a demon lord or a hero, I just wanted to meet my end on this battlefield.

However, my love Lucia catches my eye.

Lucia said this just before she died.

Don’t hate this world too much.

Please fight until the end for the world.

Although she lived a very painful life, she thought of others until the end.

… … So, I loved it too.

“Cool—Luck.”

The demon lord next to me vomits black blood and collects himself.

With your back turned to me.

I was just lying there helplessly, but I think I was mistaken.

If the Demon King were in a normal body, he would have noticed that I was alive, but since he personally confirmed the death of the hero, he is completely defenseless.

Can I stab this?

Earnestly.

Do you think I can stop pretending to be dead and just stab my heart in the back with the knife in my hand?

But what if I fail?

I stabbed him, but he didn’t die, right?

No.

I’m not going to survive anyway, so isn’t it right to just give it a try?

By the time I finished thinking about it, I had already woken up.

“big—billion?”

This was after I plunged my sword into the devil’s heart.

“Kaaagh—! How dare you—!”

When he didn’t die as expected, I was snatching the sword from the hand of the dead hero next to me and stabbing it into the demon king’s heart.

“Kaaa!!!!”

White light protrudes from every corner of the Demon King’s body. The sacred power of the holy sword must have fully exploded within this.

“Fly… … Getting hit by the same guy… … No way!!!!!”

Is it similar to the last bastion? There was a jewel in the devil’s hand. Just by looking at it, it is a gem that contains an incredible amount of magical power. He was probably going to do something with it.

“Give it to me!”

Without knowing or fearing, I placed my hand on the devil’s jewel. As soon as I touched it, a strong wave swept through my body, but my senses predicted this.

If you do not allow this jewel to be used, the Demon King will die.

“Kaaa!!! Let go—!!!!”

I mustered all my remaining strength to hinder the demon lord. Several strange sensations pass by. I put all my heart into this gem.

The gem became hot enough to explode and began to glow red.

like that-.

A strong light emanated from the jewel—.

.

It becomes dark before my eyes.

It was very quiet and dark, as if I was trapped in a dark space beyond the sky.

Oh, is he dead…? … The moment you think… … .

An unpleasant sound twists my ears.

“Wake up—! What time is it now and are you still sleeping?”

A familiar, yet very long time ago shouting rings out.

When I opened my eyes… … .

“Daron! What do you do without waking up?”

A long time ago, my old boss, who had apparently been torn in two by demons, was screaming loudly.
