[The chapters are typically somewhat long for a webnovel (2000+ words) and the pacing is slow (sometimes overly so and I'm working on that). Only proceed if you like a slow burning but well fleshed out story with side characters that are more than just side-pieces to the MC. I explore them just as much as I do him.]

"There are no heroes in war, only monsters."

This was an outlook that Sato Katsuro, a man in service to the military, formed after being broken down by years of gore-filled battle.

It was an outlook he took even to his grave, but what about beyond it?

Transmigrated into a new land of fantasy and tasked to be the very thing he'd given up on becoming, Sato would have to fight a new war. A war between mankind and an oppressive enemy regime run by a cohort of demons.

But, as Sato learned in his past, war wasn't always what it seemed. In war, truths were lies, friends were enemies, and the so-called heroes...they were often the villains.

Snowflakes gently descended from the pale blue winter sky, gradually accumulating alongside streets and above rooftops. The city landscape was transformed into a vista of pearly white mounds with a softened texture.

The local high school, Agawa noticed, was no exception.

She swiveled her head to take in the familiar expanse of the concrete and glass campus. An ovular track lay behind her, its white runner lines faint against patches of snow.

Looking down, she ran her hand along her tracksuit's metal zipper. Each groove was frigid but held a warmth of familiarity.

Every sensation felt vividly real, from the dark green fabric encasing her body to the cold air brushing her flushed cheeks.

Then the chime of a loud school bell echoed across the campus grounds. Following the loud clang was a stampede of hurried footsteps from nearby students.

"Oh, this is bad! We gotta go! C'mon! I can't miss this class; my dad'll kill me!"
