The Reincarnated Demon King’s Host Just Wants to Live in Peace, But the Hero Won’t Leave Him Alone

cover art by Dezaray Shuler (oblivionsdream)

If you were blessed with the gift for good and cursed with the power for evil, which would you choose?

Theo was born with an almost god-like healing magic, which elevated him from his commoner-born status to a trainee for the Hero's party, a group whose sworn duty is to protect the citizens of Algeya from demons. Anyone would be honored to be chosen, but for Theo it couldn't be much worse, as he has the misfortune to be the host of the reincarnated Demon King himself.

Malthios wants to take over Theo's body to return to his former glory. Theo has spent his life, so far, learning to suppress the demon and remain in control. To avoid being discovered and killed, Theo flees his training to settle in the seclusion of the far north as a simple village healer, thinking he will be safe from Heroes and demons alike. Ten years later, a storm brings the fate he thought he had escaped to his doorstep.

The new Hero, Luc, is everything a Hero should be; strong, kind, and loyal, and for some reason, obsessed with Theo. Despite the warnings of Malthios ringing in his head, and Theo's own best efforts, their relationship blooms and grows into something more than Theo could ever have anticipated. Now, with demon numbers increasing and the risk of his secret being exposed, Theo has a choice-use the power of the Demon King to aid in the fight or lose the Hero who has become his happy ending.
