Overpowered Hero Wants to Be Demon Lord

Zeff already saved one world. He was summoned, crowned a Hero, and defeated the Demon Lord. The story should’ve ended there. Instead, the moment he won… he was torn from everything and thrown into a new world. This time, he refuses to play the hero. No saving kingdoms.No chosen one destiny.No righteous speeches. Zeff wants a castle filled with gold.A peaceful life.Maybe a few loyal maids with cat ears. But when he saves the last surviving dragon cub in a world ruled by angels and demons masquerading as gods, his fame begins to spread. Rumors grow. Kingdoms tremble. They whisper a new title. Demon Lord. The world he arrived in thrives on slavery, rigid hierarchies, and divine control. The previous Demon Lord was said to be a tyrant… but the truth is far uglier. The angels who rule from above aren’t saviors — they are conquerors. As Zeff gathers allies — a dragon, a blood-born vampire, a rebellion of beastkin — he begins to uncover what really happened three years ago. And when an Archangel seeking godhood kidnaps the one person Zeff swore to protect, he must decide: Is being seen as evil worse than allowing true evil to win? Because sometimes the only way to save a world… Is to become its Demon Lord.
