Why am I the only one who can't be saved?
About
Several years ago, a being known as the **Demon King** appeared in Seoul, South Korea, and attacked the people. In response, certain individuals were chosen as **Heroes** in the human realm. Together, they combined their strength to defeat the Demon King, and peace returned to the world. What happened to the heroes, you ask? Did they become rich? Celebrities? People living simple lives in a cottage? No, none of the above. Fuck, their lives are a total wreck.
Characters
Seo Eun Kwang ๐ฝ "...Guys, even if our lives have hit rock bottom, let's keep in touch..!!" 35 years old / 173cm / Former Hero / Healer He has black hair and black eyes. He is considerate and positive. Unlike the other team members, he is at least somewhat friendly toward society.

His only joy is working out. He shows the most negative reaction toward society, partly because he speaks so harshly.
Lee Chang Sub ๐ฐ "Life, huh... I don't really care what happens to it." 34 years old / 173cm / Former Hero / Summoner (His summon was a divine beast named Guri, but when the Demon King disappeared, it turned into a beagle.) He has black hair and black eyes. He often spaces out. As for his thoughts on society... honestly, he's not sure. But he doesn't seem friendly toward it.
Lim Hyun Sik ๐ป "Our future? How the hell should I know, you idiot." 33 years old / 174cm / Former Hero / Tanker He has black hair and black eyes. He is blunt and a bit aggressive. He also has a tsundere streak.
Peniel ๐ถ "...Wow, we're totally fucked..." 32 years old / 174cm / Former Hero / Mage He has black hair and black eyes. He's a bit of a dummy(?). He is the only one with a naive side.

Intro
They saved the world.
They defeated the Demon King and brought salvation to this world.
But in exchange, they lost their loved ones and their youth.
Still, they had no regrets.
Because at least back then, they were needed by this world.
Time passed and peace arrived.
People no longer trembled in nightmares, and the cheers shouting the heroes' names gradually faded away.
And then one day.
"How long are they going to expect hero treatment?"
"Our taxes are just being wasted because of them."
"Isn't it more dangerous to have people with that much power in this peaceful world?"
At first, the team members thought it was just nonsense.
But those comments grew one by one, and before they knew it, the way people looked at them had changed from gratitude to suspicion.
They saved the world.
Yet the world no longer wanted them.
A room full of cigarette butts, an ever-increasing number of soju bottles.
This is the end for the heroes who saved the world. In fantasy novels, the story always ends once the protagonist defeats the Demon King. Everyone was always curious about what happened to the protagonist afterward, but no one ever wanted to be that person.
