People called him a genius—but Agares never believed it.

Tired of expectations, he abandoned everything to live an ordinary life, working just to survive in a cruel world.

But fate had other plans.

A sudden transmigration took Agares into a world of swords and sorcery—a land ravaged by demons, ruled by power, and merciless to the weak. 

To his shock, he awakens as one of the Chosen Heroes. Sounds like a dream come true?

Wrong.

"That's a cursed job!"
 "He's no hero—he's a demon in disguise!"
 "Kill him! For the sake of the world!"

[DING! Congratulations, you have obtained a Job.]
[Name: Agares]
[Job: Saber]

Hunted by the empire he was meant to protect, feared for the power he never asked for, Agares finds himself branded a threat to humanity. All because of a job he didn’t choose.

Just as the noose tightens, a red-eyed woman named Liel offers him a different path:

“You were born to be more than their hero.”
“The empire betrayed you. Humanity rejected you. Even nature turns away.”
“Why not embrace what they fear —and become the successor of the Demon Emperor?”

Now, Agares has a choice: run, or rise.

This is the beginning of his war.

 A war not just for survival —but for vengeance.

"You will die by my hand!" the woman declared.


She raised her magic staff, summoning three magic circles with black runes above her head.


A medium-sized fireball formed, aiming downward, targeting Agares with its power.


Agares stood still, carefully observing, his eyes locked upwards as he gripped his sword tightly.


Both of Agares's eyes lit up in purple, accompanied by a flow of dark energy surging into his sword. The aura around him also changed—gusts of wind formed from the momentum of that power.


Agares swung his sword vertically and horizontally into the sky, destroying the three medium fireballs flying toward him. Explosions erupted above.


No one took damage from the attack. Agares was unharmed, and so was the lich mage in front of him. Even so, Agares's power was enough to surprise the lich mage.
