The Return of the Corpse King

Hizaki Shiou cringes at the memories of his younger self’s overenthusiastic antics. During his middle school days, he found himself whisked away to a fantasy realm, tasked with saving it from destruction. After an arduous battle, he vanquished the Demon King, only to be abruptly sent back to his ordinary life. Now, three years have passed, and destiny calls once more. This time, the threat comes from the shadowy organization known as Helheim, whose chaotic reign must be stopped. The once-reluctant hero must confront his past while facing new challenges in the world he thought he’d left behind forever.

The irony isn’t lost on him—how his past self reveled in the adventure, unaware of the burdens it would bring. Yet here he stands again, forced to wield his power against an even greater menace. The memories of his first journey haunt him, but hesitation is a luxury he can’t afford. Helheim’s destruction spreads unchecked, and only the Corpse King’s return can turn the tide.

Will he embrace his role this time, or will the weight of his past failures crush him before the battle even begins?
