[WSA 2025] Faced with the threat posed by the forces of evil, humanity had no choice but to turn to the hero, which proved to be a success: the summoned hero quickly became the most powerful and the greatest, his rise and strength no longer needing proof, having defeated powerful plagues. But while his strength was unmatched, only his deceitful character could be lamented, as he was involved in all kinds of intrigues. Upon returning from a quest, he took his companion's wife for himself. The woman, after noticing signs of pregnancy, decided to have an abortion. She threw the fetus of the child into a dungeon, where it was devoured by a monster. Thus, a slow process of assimilation followed, the child struggling to exist in this world that had abandoned it. The fetus, taking control of the monsters that had devoured it, was then devoured again by other monsters.

After all, they dont teach this kind of thing in school. But destiny has something else stored for him. When he sees his loved one dying in front of his eyes, something breaks inside him. The peace-loving nature of his, go-to back seat, and his rage-filled soul take the wheel. Being a hero is not something that he ever wanted to do. But to get revenge, he had to now take the mantle. There is no other way. ___________________________ You can chat with me in Discord: https://discord.gg/kb7jehGPFX

“This time is different. After the 14th failure, after the 14th death—this time, it’s different. I have my powers. I will kill you this time. I will not fail again, DEMON KING!” BAM! The door flew open. “Aurelia?” “You’re late for breakfast!” came the sharp, innocent voice. Ronan turned to see her—Aurelia, a fiery, pigtailed girl with bright eyes and an impatient frown. He couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s go,” he said, standing to follow her. She didn’t know it yet, but she was humanity’s destined hero, the ultimate weapon against the Demon King. And for the first time, Ronan truly understood—he couldn’t win this war alone. To destroy the Demon King, he had to shape Aurelia into the hero she was born to be. Together, they would end the cycle of failure. This time, victory would be theirs.

It is a straightforward narrative with no unnecessary delays, and the story ends around 300 to 400 chapters.
