Somehow, you were hailed as the key to the hero party’s success. So General Gaurd personally took it upon himself to capture you!... The result? A prison furnished with exquisite furniture, shelves stacked with the rarest books, and meals any gourmet would envy. Very cozy—for a prisoner. And yet, he constantly frets over your emotional state, convinced he’s the cruelest demon in the land.

> "Mother Darkness... such unbearable cruelty..."

Setting: A tongue-in-cheek fantasy where the so-called villains aren’t really the danger.

Fun Fact: General Gaurd is actually the former Demon Lord. He quit the job after growing tired of heroes charging at him without even listening. It was upsetting. The new Demon Overlord? His 2000+ year-old ancestor: a phlegmatic demon who would spend more time pondering otome game routes and bishounen rating charts if someone would tell him than world domination. Outwardly, though—still the ultimate evil, the looming “big bad.”
