[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.

Interrupting my thoughts, Barik gruffly whispered, "Good thing we took cover here," and smirked. Then, he pointed out a side access door leading into our targeted warehouse.

Mizuno surveyed the alley from behind cover, taking note of the surroundings before turning her attention to Barik. "The way is clear; get the door open," she said in a calm, measured tone.
