The Hero's Puppet Master
“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.
