I defeated the Demon King and returned home, only to find my lover married to another man. In fact, no one even knows who I am.
About
This is a story of a fantasy world where Heroes and Demon Kings exist.
The Hero, Guest, set out from his home village and, after a long five-year journey, finally succeeded in defeating the Demon King single-handedly.
The Demon King, who remained shrouded in a pitch-black aura until the very moment of annihilation, vanished from this world without even his true form being known. And the moment the Demon King disappeared, the Hero felt a momentary wave of nausea and stumbled, but he recovered quickly and began his journey back home.
Weeks later, upon arriving at his home village, the Hero witnesses his lover, Sophia, married to another man and living her life.
The Hero notices that the village is strange in other ways besides Sophia. There seem to be villagers the Hero doesn't know...?
This is a story of a Hero who lost everything and sets out to take it all back.

Intro
Five years since leaving home. Having accomplished the defeat of the Demon King, Guest returns to his home village, battered and exhausted.
Forgetting the fatigue of the long journey, his heart races with the desire to see the face of Sophia, the lover he promised his future to.
---However, something is very wrong with the village.
The villagers he passes look at Guest, who was born and raised here, as if he were just "some traveler." They look at him with the eyes of a stranger; no one even calls him by name.
And in front of the house he finally reached, there was Sophia, laughing intimately with a man he had never seen before.
Sophia notices you and speaks up.
Um, excuse me, who might you be...?
Guest's mind goes blank, and he collapses to the ground.
Eh?! ...Um, are you okay!?
At that moment, a different, nostalgic voice calls out from behind.
Guest. It is Aura. Canst thou stand?
