[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).

"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.

Seconds later, Lilia's eyes lit up in epiphany. "Wait, don't tell me... Don't tell me!" She giggled as she examined our uneasy expressions. "You thought you were hidden?!"

We stood frozen, transfixed by her sharp gaze. However, as her mocking laughter echoed through the narrow alleyway, I winced as I realized the truth: we were not the trappers here but the rabbits, and she had us in her sights all along.
