Synopsis of Sentenced to be a hero:
“Hero” is the worst punishment in the world. Those convicted of heinous crimes are sentenced to become “heroes” and forced to enlist in compulsory military service to fight in the war against the demon lords. These convicts are not even allowed to die: if they die, they will rise again to continue fighting another day.
Hero Xylo Forbartz, former head of the Order of the Holy Knights, leads a deplorable penal unit fighting on the front line. It is in these extreme circumstances that he meets Theoritta, one of the most powerful weapons in the world. “When you have defeated the last enemy, you will fill me with praise and caress my head”.
To survive and take revenge on those who harmed him, he makes a pact with the goddess and throws himself headfirst at a warfare of war and intrigues.
