[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.

Heroes to Hunted

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone vacated the tent. Except for Mizuno and Furuya.

I was curious if they'd been plotting something, so I returned to listen to their conversation.

That's when I spotted an intimate moment between the two. Their arms were coiled around the other, locking them in a tight embrace. They then sealed their hug with a heartfelt kiss.

'So that's how it is.' I wasn't surprised, given how Furuya talked about her last night.

"Make it back to me in one piece, okay? I trust you can do that." He brushed a rogue lock of Mizuno's hair behind her ear and held her gaze for a long moment.

Mizuno gave a stoic smile. "It'll be fine. Just don't let Barrett overthrow you while we're gone."

The couple chuckled cheerily at her joke.

"I'll see you soon, Suya. I'll be back," Mizuno began pulling away.

"You better," Furuya smiled. "I love you, Yuuki."
