"It's year 452 of the Celestial Calendar, five years since I arrived in this land, and about two years since I left the castle to embark on an adventure to kill the Demon Lord. People might wonder why I didn't set off to kill the Demon Lord sooner and why I stayed in the castle for three years. Although I may not have been gaining levels by killing monsters and demons, I wasn't just sitting around enjoying the castle's beauty, okay, maybe I did, hahaha, but I still kept working on learning more skills from the Royal Commander and some magical skills from the Tower Mages.
Now I'm finally prepared. I have a feeling I'll be getting my first party members this year. I just can't wait. I hope she's beautiful, with big boobs and long legs," Sato said, having a perverted look on his face and smiling disgustingly.
"Young hero, we are about to enter the Tanisha Valley. Please be on high alert, as this place is known for frequent deaths caused by dangerous monsters. However, they shouldn't be much of a problem for our young hero," said Joseph, a knight dressed in noble armor, riding a brown horse beside the hero, who was also mounted on a brown horse.
"Horned Wolves are approaching, Commander!" a knight screamed out not long after the commander's warning.
"Stay in formation, everyone! The protection of the young hero is of utmost importance. Mages, start casting your incantations. Priests, buff us up!" Joseph said, giving commands to prepare for the attack of the monsters approaching. With the way he spoke, one could tell he had many experiences with monsters.
Immediately, everyone—from knights to mages and priests—busily took their positions, with the hero at the center, heavily protected on all sides.
Sato, someone who loved anime and adventure, saw this as a game and an opportunity to farm Experience Points. He leaped into the air and dashed towards the approaching monsters, breaking formation and leaving everyone stunned.
"Don't you dare touch my EXP, or I will kill you!" he screamed, charging forward. Everyone froze, watching in shock, ready to intervene in case anything went wrong.
Sato rushed towards the pack of monsters, using his Acceleration skill to close the distance instantly. Without hesitation, he went straight for the pack leader, cutting off its head with a clean sword strike.
The knights were amazed by his swordsmanship, but it didn't end there. He immediately cast Fireball and Advanced Fire Magic, sending waves of fire that burned the monsters in the distance. Sato, feeling proud of himself from the praises of the others, failed to notice a wolf sneaking up on him.
The monster attacked him from behind, sinking it's fangs deep into his flesh, this caused him intense pain and deep wounds. However, the pain didn't last long. Almost immediately, his cells began repairing themselves at an incredible rate. He turned his attention to the wolf that had wounded him, channeling mana into his fist before delivering a devastating blow to its head. The impact was so strong that the wolf's skull shattered on the spot.
The knights and everyone else were silenced, watching the hero, covered in monster blood, standing amidst the pile of corpses he had caused.
They were mesmerized by the feat he performed, single-handedly defeating a pack of Horned Wolves alone, and afraid because he seemed to be looking like a demon as he killed the monsters.
They also feared the fact that if the hero ever betrayed humanity, it would be all over.
At the same time, they were excited to see the hero in battle. People started spreading news that the hero was so powerful that the Demon Lord and his army were doomed.
In the Demon Lord's castle, news spread at an incredible pace about the strength of the hero. Demons and monsters began to fear as the hero and his party grew stronger with every opponent they defeated. The fate of the Abyss rested upon the shoulders of the Demon Lord Zarel and the Seven Sins.

After the hero defeated the horned wolves, news spread far and wide. As the hero grew in fame, he became surrounded by beautiful ladies, ranging from young, flat-chested girls to busty, older women, from commoners to slaves and nobles.
Over time, he became complacent, spending more time indulging in pleasure than training. With more and more women willing to bear the hero's seed, he was frequently found in the company of admirers. Two years had passed since his last major battle with monsters, and it seemed his fantasy was set in stone—he now possessed a harem as his party.
His party consisted of:
The priestess who had summoned him—a master of healing magic and purification, skilled in countering black magic and malevolent spirits.
A young girl who was once a slave—rescued by the hero after he defeated a group of human traffickers. She was highly skilled in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.
The princess of the empire—blessed by the spirits, she wielded advanced elemental magic with great proficiency.
These people were the ones the hero had chosen as his party, not just because of their combat level, but mainly because of their beauty. They all possessed remarkable beauty, probably ranking among the top 5 in the empire.

In the year 460 of the Celestial Calendar, Hero Sato and his party found themselves facing imminent danger. The head of the Seven Sins, Cedric, stood before them, and all hell was about to break loose.
Overconfident in his strength and high recovery rate, Sato launched an all-out attack on Cedric without a plan, a mocking smile on his face.
"So you're the head of the Sins? Hahahaha! Looks like this is all you're capable of. If that's the case, then the Demon Lord Zarel will be nothing to stress over—just as I thought."
Cedric chuckled. Then he laughed harder. The hero and his party froze, unsure of what was happening. Before they could react—
The princess's hands exploded.
A bloodcurdling scream tore from her lips as pain consumed her. Tears streamed down her face as she collapsed. The priestess rushed to her side, desperately attempting to cast a recovery spell. But it was futile.
Her purity had been stained.
As a priestess, she was expected to remain pure. Yet, due to the hero's indulgent lust, she had lost everything. Her power was weakened.
Before the party could even understand what was happening, Cedric struck again.
One by one, their heads fell—severed from their bodies. A massive eruption of blood painted the battlefield.
Only Sato remained.
Watching his party die before his eyes, his rage exploded.
"I'm the main character! This isn't how things are supposed to go! I can't be defeated! The hero never dies!" he shouted, charging at Cedric recklessly.
Cedric smirked.
"You rely too much on your recovery, don't you?" he said before launching a relentless barrage of attacks.
Sato had no time to recover, no chance to breathe.
"Is this all the empire's hero has to offer?" Cedric sneered, his strikes unrelenting. "Is this the strength of the so-called savior who was meant to defeat the Lord? Pathetic."
He continued his assault, showing no mercy.
Hours passed.
Sato's consciousness wavered. His vision blurred. His body refused to move.
And then—
With a final, devastating blow, Cedric decapitated him in one clean strike.
As Sato's head tumbled from his shoulders, his last thought was:
"Maybe I should have just been the cameraman..."
The battle was over.
A complete victory for Cedric, Wrath of the Seven Sins and the right hand man to demon lord Zarel
