「A hero who would defeat the Demon King would emerge from this village.」

So a prophet declared.

The village believed the prophecy.

For there was a boy in the village exceptional in both sword and magic.

Eight years later, the boy became the hero and defeated the Demon King. However, in doing so, he perished.

Why did the hero die?

Four years after his death, as his accomplishments were being compiled into historical documents, the truth behind it was about to come to light.
