Betrayed, I Met The Demon Lord

Character List

Van Hellix

While minding their own business, 17-year-old Van and his best friend, Magus, were suddenly transported to another world—a land ruled by magic and gods. At first, it seemed like the kind of fantasy they had always dreamed about. But reality hit fast.

The Goddess in charge didn't take to Van. Worse yet, even the randomized system responsible for distributing skills seemed to mock him. While Magus was granted overwhelming power, Van was given skills that seemed utterly useless. One of them? [Hard Swing]—a skill that let him... swing things really, really hard.

And that wasn't all. Another skill he received made people despise him on sight.

Struggling in a world that had already decided to hate him, Van pressed on. He fought, adapted, and against all odds—fell in love. But love was fleeting. She left him, drawn to the power that Magus radiated.

Heartbroken, Van left everything behind. His journey took him to the Demonic Realm, where he did something no hero had ever dared—he proposed to the Demon Lord. And after countless trials, she finally accepted.

Magus Veil

Van's best friend. A prodigy. A natural-born mage blessed with the ability to wield any class with absolute efficiency. He was the hero who defeated the Demon Lord and brought peace to the world.

But peace did nothing for Magus himself.

He had made a promise—to use his power for good, to help Van, who had been dealt an unfair hand. But power is a lonely thing. His skills made him untouchable, unreachable. Women were obsessed with him, not because of love, but because his passive abilities made them. Men despised him for the same reason.

No one in this world truly saw Magus for who he was. No one except Van.

And then, Magus made a mistake. A desperate, selfish mistake.

Fearing Van would leave him, he seduced Van's girlfriend. He thought it would tie them together, force Van to stay in his orbit. Instead, it backfired catastrophically.

Van left him. And for the first time, Magus felt what it truly meant to be alone.

He tried to move on, to accept his place in this world. But then, even his own daughters—born from the women his skills attracted—began developing feelings they shouldn't.

That was the final straw.

Wracked with guilt, drowning in self-loathing, Magus tried to end his own life. But before he could, someone intervened.

Now, he is trapped within the Goddess's palace, a prisoner in a world that never truly belonged to him.

Amoria Veil

Van's first love.

A priestess he saved from a death trap during their journeys. From that moment on, she saw something in him—his selflessness, his strength... and his loneliness. And she grew attached. Deeply.

She truly loved him. But even love had no power in the face of Magus's passive abilities.

At first, she resisted. She clung to her feelings for Van with every ounce of willpower she had left. But when Magus forced himself upon her, it shattered the last remnants of her resistance. His unnatural charm, his overwhelming presence—it stripped her of her free will, leaving her powerless to fight against him.

She was taken.

And yet, against all odds—she fought back.

Even with her mind bound, her will crushed, she defied Magus and told Van the truth. Told him everything.
