Sentenced to Be a Hero

In *Sentenced to Be a Hero*, the title of “Hero” is the harshest sentence imaginable. Criminals guilty of grave offenses are condemned to compulsory service on the front lines of a war against the Demon Lords—and escape is impossible. Even death offers no release, as fallen “Heroes” are revived and sent back to fight again.

Xylo Forbartz, once the commander of the Order of the Holy Knights, now leads a penal unit of outcasts through the most brutal battles. Amid the chaos, he encounters Teoritta, known as one of the world’s most powerful weapons, whose blunt demand for praise and a pat on the head belies her overwhelming strength. Determined to endure and exact revenge on those who betrayed him, Xylo enters a pact with a goddess and plunges deeper into a conflict thick with war and intrigue.
