Detested by the Demon Lord

Mao has spent his entire life burdened by a bloodline he never asked for. As a descendant of an ancient demon lord, he wields a power beyond ordinary comprehension—anyone who meets his eyes falls instantly under his command. Yet rather than embracing his heritage, Mao has carried the weight of his lineage in quiet shame, longing for an ordinary existence far removed from his infamous ancestry. That fragile peace is shattered when he encounters Kamiko, a self-assured man who boldly declares himself the legendary hero fated to defeat him. For the first time in his life, Mao comes face to face with someone whose sole purpose is his destruction. But Kamiko's idea of victory bears no resemblance to the epic clash of legend. Instead of blades and battle, the so-called hero has a far more startling method in mind—captured perfectly in his shameless declaration that Mao should simply give up and let him take his body. Caught off guard by a destiny he never imagined, Mao is about to experience the shock of his life.
