[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.

I sped toward the main gate, step after step, to escape the maw of fiery death behind me. The summer wind brushed past my face, causing my frayed gray hair and beard to billow wildly.

"Keep running!!!" Lilia snarled. "It makes it more fun when I catch you!"

'Better not get caught, then,' I inwardly chuckled. I couldn't speak through my heavy huffs.

Running was never a strong suit of mine. That's why, even though I was erecting wall upon wall behind me to obstruct her, Lilia still steadily gained on me.

However, I was almost there! Almost to my goal! Once I passed the compound's walls to the fields, I could let loose. I could release everything in my arsenal to win.

'This girl might be a fullkin, but there's a reason they called me The Scourge of the Mountain during my years of glory,' I raspily chuckled.
