Description

Every centuryArkadia is faced with a trial as the Demon King returns to wreak havoc upon the lands, and thus each century a Hero rises to take up the mantle of the Heroes of old as they pass on their strength and knowledge to the new Heroes so that they may defeat this ancient threat. But as the ninth Hero had defeated the Demon King once again after the sacrifice of his friends, and he too was ready to pass on he found himself inexplicably reborn as the tenth Hero with all his memories intact.

However the birth of the Hero signfies one thing, the rise of a stronger more frightening Demon King.Perhaps now with these memories, there was hope of defeating the Demon King and releasing the world of this curse once and for all.

    10 Chapters released so far, and I have to say I am really enjoying the story so far.
    The MC, Hiro, is not your normal naive protagonist too afraid to kill his enemies.  Ask the bandits, they found out the hard way.  Hiro is a bit single minded in his mission, but I find this very believable.  Hiro has spent years in his old  life facing off against the Demon King in a war that has claimed millions of lives.  There is no room left for mercy.  All is fair in love and war after all.
    I wish Hiro luck in the wars to come against the Demon King.  May he grow strong enough to break the cycle and protect the world from evil.
    Lawful Good Forever!!!

    Similar to the other reviewers here, I agree that the story seems to be just a prologue, similar to the first run of Berserk's anime, in that it's just Guts' adventures with the Band of the Hawk.
    That said, it's yet a new twist on the Isekai trope, wherein multiple isekais, transmigrators, regressors, etc are shown...or at least hinted at, in the brief run the novel has.
    This review is 2 years after the novel ended...and well, there are good stories out there, there are bad stories, and this one...is middling. It's not outright bad, but..feels like it was axed unintentionally (though the last 'chapter' makes it seem it was intentional), with the story quality degrading massively in the last few chapters.

    If you want to waste your time to read the prologue to a story that will probably never be written go ahead. Because that is what this story is, a prologue to something that could've been cool and interesting.
    It is the choice of the author to write and post as he sees fit, but at the very least there should be a disclaimer about the fact that this story will probably never be finished and is nothing more than the prologue to a grander story.
    What annoys me the most right now is how the author didn't even try to write the story after the prologue because of his lack of time, which is something all authors struggle with that don't earn their daily bread writing stories.
    Excerpt from chapter 32 aka the last chapter and the literal fuck you towards us as readers :
    "Surprise, in truth the story ended in chapter 32. I was actually supposed to end this at 31 chapters, but I messed up slightly with the pacing. This was supposed to be a story the lasted only a month, or at the very least 31 days of daily uploads, but for whatever reason, I decided to edit the beginning a bit and add side-stories.
    Now while in reality, the story hasn't completed, and if I wanted to I could go on for several more large arcs that would allow the story to easily go beyond a hundred chapters. But I don't have that time, the amount of time I can dedicate to a single chapter each day is about half an hour to an hour. Usually, I upload weekly with my other stories so this is by no means too much of a problem, but since this has been a daily release and I didn't stockpile any chapters it has led to a few problems.
    So until I finish my next semester or until next summer this will be where the story ends. Everything beyond this point is merely a few explanations to some things that might have been unclear and a summary of what happened. And for all of you leaving at this point, until next time."
    Now you may think this doesn't sound so bad and the author considered writing more of this story sometime l
