The story follows Dariel, a dark soldier who served in the demon king's army and worked his way up to become an assistant to the Four Generals through dedication and skill, despite being unable to use magic. After the Four Generals are replaced, Dariel is dismissed from his position, leaving him devastated. Upon arriving in a human village, he discovers that his abilities, previously considered useless to demons, prove highly effective in this new environment. Realizing he may have been human originally, Dariel chooses to remain in the village and start a new life. His combat and adventuring skills attract various requests from villagers, leading him into situations involving trouble, false accusations, and duels. The series was adapted from a web novel published online via Shōsetsuka ni Narō and later illustrated by Sage Joh under Kodansha.
