Dariel is fired from his position as a dark soldier in the Demon King’s army and finds himself at a complete loss. In the forest, he happens to rescue a girl named Malika, who takes him to a human village called Lux where his hectic second life begins.

Dariel's first quests as an adventurer go smoothly, but the village's other adventurer, Gashita, continues to see him as the enemy. Word that a high level monster has appeared near the village arrives. Dariel heads into the forest to bring Gashita back.

The Hero, Laidy, has two objectives: to have new mythril weapons made, and to find a new ally to help defeat the Demon King. Laidy becomes aware of Dariel's true abilities and asks him to join her party. Dariel declines, but Laidy refuses to accept it.
