Synopsis
Former hero returns to fantasy world, forced to confront his cringe chuunibyou past as a dark overlord.
"How could my past self get so excited doing all those embarrassing things!?" When he was in the third year of middle school, Shiou Hizaki was summoned to another world to save it. After fulfilling his role as a hero, he was forcibly returned to his original world. Three years later, he finds himself summoned back to the same world, this time facing a new crisis involving a mysterious organization. To his horror, this organization shares the name of a group he had once created during his chuunibyou phase, when he pretended to be a dark overlord called the "Corpse King"—a cringe-worthy past he desperately wants to forget. Now, he must confront this shadow from his past while navigating his return to the fantasy world. As he reunites with familiar faces from his previous journey, the former hero must balance his embarrassment over his teenage delusions with the responsibilities thrust upon him once again. Together with his former companions, he sets out to understand what's truly happening in this world that once called him its savior.
"How could my past self get so excited doing all those embarrassing things!?" When he was in the third year of middle school, Shiou Hizaki was summoned to another world to save it. After defeating the Demon King, he was forcibly returned back to the present day. Yet another three years later, he is summoned to the other world once again, this time to stop the rampage of the secret society "Helheim." That organization was supposedly actually the one that he had founded during his chuunibyou phase, where he called himself the "Corpse King"—a dark past too embarrassing to remember! Someone seems to be impersonating the name of "Helheim" and tarnishing its reputation. To uncover the truth behind this mystery and clear the organization's name, the Corpse King reunites with his former subordinates, the "Hakkai," who once made Helheim the strongest it had ever been. While agonizing over his dark past, he begins to take action in the other world once again. Their first stop is the Steel City of Gagiul—rescue the city struggling through famine as well as the pale-looking count's daughter in distress. "Helheim, moving out."
