Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon Kingโs hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. Thereโs just one slight problem. Itโs only been twenty-three years since the Demon Kingโs latest rise, and this time, heโs already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Heroโs return, there may be no world left for him to save. And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A ten-step plan. Sheโll find a way to obtain the Heroโs legendary sword. Sheโll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. Sheโll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if sheโs truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.
