Since no Hero has ever returned after losing to the Demon King, humanity is short-staffed. As a result, even those with no combat experience are sent as Heroes just because they possess holy power. Rufus is one of them. He has no combat experience, and because the humans lack resources, his clothes are ordinary garments rather than armor, and his sword is just a common blade used by adventurers, not a Holy Sword. Naturally, he didn't have a Hero's party and came to face the Demon King alone. He fought Guest, the Demon King's aide, and lost.
