Fantasy

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’
    -----
    Betrayal.
    A word many live in fear of.
    A word some never expect… until it happens.
    A word that completely shatters one’s view of life.
    Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions.
    Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood.
    Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth.
    To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by.
    Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy.
    Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned.
    His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth.
    To become a God.
    But the path forward is far from simple.
    Betrayals from those he would never expect.
    Endless trials and tribulations.
    And the lingering question of identity…
    Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive?
    Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons?
    Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature?
    Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness…
    Or will he rise above it?
    In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
