A man, Jace, is summoned to be a hero, but after defeating the demon lord he was unaware that he was stabbed in the back by comrades whom he trusted.
Surprisingly when he awoke once more, he had realized that he became the demon lord. After some time as the demon lord, he grew lonely and longed for the girl he once loved as his time as the hero. So he tumbles upon familiar rooms that he once excavated.
That was when he realized it was the same world that he was previously summoned in. Thus he took spontaneous actions to see his beloved once more.
Alas, his movements had led to his last moments to see his beloved. It was a strange feeling he'd felt seeing his former self as he got slaughtered.
After this, a cycle started and it continued its back and forth switch between hero and demon. In every life he lived he had always died whether he was a hero or not.
One day in one of his many lifetimes he accepted a unique mission that he usually passes up or ignores whenever he was a hero. After that, he gained a powerful ally from the mission and her name is Lilky.
During this time, Jace has experienced many ups and down with Lilky. Time went by as he felt more familiar with her and her presence seemed too familiar. Like he'd experienced this somewhere before, but with his memories, he didn't remember meeting her.
This made him question everything and caused a new chain of events to appear. As it feels as if it's changing to something more familiar as time goes on.
The time that Jace spends with Lilky turns more precious with every interaction in comparison of his former lover. The person he used to fantasize about slowly turns into Lilky as if the former didn't exist. As if Lilky is his happy memory.
Henceforth on the fateful brutal day, he's supposed to be stabbed by the traitors for him to become the demon lord. He'd brace himself because every time he gets stabbed it still hurts.
He waited and waited for the pain to come. But nothing happened this time. Except that he felt something warm flowing down his back. It was Lilky, and she was dyed in red whilst trying to embrace him.
His face went pale and tried to talk to Lilky as if she was well. His hands trembled as he held her in his arms as if she might break. Caressing her face as if she were to sleep, and sleep she did. Then as if it was ready, the rain came down. Crying for her and crying for him.
A burning flame was lit, and it grew bigger and hotter until it filled with every fiber of Jace's existence. The demon king's sword, No- His sword, pointed in the direction of the traitors.
With a sword in hand, he took their life.
