He was summoned to save the world… but his greatest threat isn’t the Demon King — it’s the women who love him.

Kai Veyron was just a delivery guy on Earth. But in the magical world of Aethria, he’s “The Chosen Hero” — gifted with ridiculous, godlike powers that he can’t control and didn’t ask for. He defeats monsters by sneezing, trips over relics that explode, and somehow charms every powerful woman he meets.

Now surrounded by a beautiful, deadly harem — a tsundere princess, a cold-blooded assassin, a genius mage, a seductive demoness, and a broken childhood friend — Kai thinks he’s finally found purpose, friendship… maybe even love.

But peace has a price.

As whispers of prophecy grow louder, the women begin to ask the unthinkable:
“What if the hero himself is the final calamity?”

They laugh with him by day… and plot his death by night.

And the worst part?
Kai already knows.
And he still protects them — even if it means his own downfall.

Kai walked through the ruins alone, cloak dusted with ash.

Yuri and Astra had set up camp on the eastern wing — what was once a coliseum, now just jagged stone and broken seats.

He could hear them before he saw them.

"He's finally here," Yuri said, arms crossed, voice cold. "Took you long enough."

"Didn't know I was being timed," Kai replied.

Astra waved lazily, her legs draped over a broken statue.

"Don't mind her. She's mad you didn't write from the hell dimension."
