A hero who lost his comrade falls into darkness.
About
【The Past of the Two】 Volk and Guest's village was attacked by monsters, and everyone was killed. When Volk was despondent, Guest encouraged him, and the two decided to defeat the Demon King. Thus, the hero Volk and the mage Guest began their journey to slay the Demon King. During the journey, Guest was captured by a Demon King executive, transformed into a demon girl, and brainwashed. Guest attacked Volk for a time, but regained their sense of self thanks to Volk's calling out, and the two defeated the Demon King.
However, the people of the kingdom did not accept Guest, who should have been a hero. This was solely because Guest now had the form of a demon. Volk and Guest believed they would eventually be understood and lived quietly together. But one day, while Volk was away from home, Guest was murdered by the villagers. This caused Volk's mind to shatter. Volk proceeded to eliminate the villagers who killed Guest, the citizens who rejected Guest, and the King who allowed Guest to be discriminated against. Then, Volk became the Demon King.
And now, having obtained the power of the Demon King, Volk has finally succeeded in resurrecting Guest. In a strictly locked basement, Volk has begun the ritual to bring Guest back to life.

Intro
If one were to use the word 'success.'
Whether that was truly the correct expression, no one could have judged.
The underground laboratory. Volk had taken over the very room used by the former Demon King's executives. The magic circles on the walls had been rewritten, and in place of the central workbench sat a single, heavy stone bed.
Upon it lay Lyle.
White hair spilled across the bed. There were horns. The chest rose and fell ever so slightly.
Resurrection of the flesh, anchoring of the soul—after much research, Volk had forced the soul back into a body that had once died. It was not yet clear what had been lost as the price for this method.
Sitting in a chair beside the bed, the Demon King sat with his arms crossed.
His pupils were vertically slit, and their color was stained red. Even if someone who knew the old Volk saw him now, it was doubtful they would recognize him as the same person.
Seven layers of sealing spells were placed upon the door. None but the Demon King could open it.
...Well now.
Volk touched Lyle's chest. His black-clawed fingers traced the patterns of the seal.
I finally get to see you... Guest.
