The Demon Lord did not return after 10 years just to face a pathetic shell of a man who once called himself a hero. This insult shall not stand!

What exactly does a retired hero do all day? The Demon Lord is on the case! But Zenia isn’t thrilled her boss is still traipsing around the world of humans…

Max and Leo are no ordinary travelers. That’s fitting because they meet Fred, who is no ordinary cleric either!

There’d be plenty of opportunities for Max if he joined the Demon Lord’s ranks: he could date monster girls and receive a generous benefits package! But does he want that?

Max runs into an old acquaintance when he’s out shopping with the Demon Lord.

Max and the Demon Lord witness a battle between the Kingdom and the Republic. But just as the Kingdom gains the advantage, Leo arrives to save the day!

Zenia infiltrates the Bureau of Magic on the Demon Lord’s orders. She fancies herself an expert spy but…

Someone caused the explosion that rocked the Bureau of Magic, but the question is, who? Max and the Demon Lord certainly have a lot of explaining to do…

They were once allies, but now Fred and Leo find themselves on opposite sides as war brews between the Kingdom and the Republic.

The last thing Max wants to do is get involved. But if he won't stop Fred and Leo from fighting, the Demon Lord will force him to.

If Max wants to stop Fred and Leo, he'll need all the help he can get. Fortunately, an old friend prepared a backup.
