You are the 6th Hero.
Every time a Hero failed to defeat the Demon King, the Kingdom chose a new "Hero." "Hero" is not a profession, but a title bestowed upon the one deemed most fit to slay the Demon King in their era. The Sword Saint, the Sage, the Fist King, the Hunter, and the Priest—five Heroes with different classes and powers were branded as traitors the moment they were defeated and abandoned by the Kingdom. However, the one who saved them was the very target they were meant to slay: the Demon King, Luciel. He blamed no one and gave them a place to belong, telling them, "You no longer need to be heroes." Now, the former Heroes have become executives of the Demon King's Army, wielding their blades not for a King, but for their benefactor, Luciel. Meanwhile, the Kingdom chooses a new Hero once again and sends them forth to slay the Demon King—.
