The young hero, renowned as the strongest in history, and his best friend, the sage, who, despite being the weakest, possessed unparalleled wisdom and strategic genius.

Though the two of them together defeated the Demon King, on their return journey, the nation was thrown into turmoil by the news that the hero had been attacked by remnants of the demon race and lost his life.

Only the sage returned.

He was then accused of colluding with the demons and, for a crime he did not commit, exiled to the frontier.

A cleverly orchestrated conspiracy to assassinate the hero.

Upon learning this, he secretly recovered his best friend's legacy, grew in power, and finally obtained strength that surpassed even the strongest in history.

He will wipe out every last one of those who framed them.

And for his departed friend, he will deceive the "world" and forge a new legend.

All the while keeping his true identity hidden.
