Retired Demon King

The former ruler of the underworld, now retired, finds himself unexpectedly provoked when the legendary hero dares him to discover true affection. Determined to prove himself, the ex-Demon Lord disguises his identity and sneaks into the renowned academy where young adventurers train—a place rumored to be overflowing with budding romances. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he realizes the institution operates under the direct supervision of the sacred church, whose primary mission involves hunting down and eliminating the Demon King at all costs.

Now trapped in the heart of enemy territory, he must navigate a world of hidden agendas, forbidden feelings, and constant danger. As he struggles to blend in, he begins to question whether love can truly flourish in a place designed to destroy him. The very organization sworn to eradicate his kind might hold the key to the emotional connection he never thought possible—if he can survive long enough to find out.

Between secretive glances and whispered conversations, the lines between enemy and ally blur. Will his quest for love lead to redemption, or will the church’s holy mission finally succeed where countless battles have failed? The retired Demon King walks a perilous path, where every choice could mean the difference between salvation and eternal ruin.
