The story was started when Jullian felt bored with his daily training routine. He wanted to go out into the world and seek real experience.
Using the Gryphon he had, he flew and left his residence. Until finally he accidentally came to Burgenfield city.
The first action that he took was, to meet the main heroine.
He accidentally met Jeanne while he was on an adventure to defeat monsters around Burgenfield city.
Jeanne was carrying out hunting requests from the Adventurer's Association, so she was also hunting monsters.
With Jullian's narcissistic, extroverted, and overconfident nature, he introduced himself and suddenly insisted on inviting Jeanne to exterminate monsters together.
Sort of like, "I'll help you complete the request you took!"
Jullian said so shamelessly.
From there, the development of the relationship between the main character and the main heroine was starting to form.
They were getting closer after doing various missions together.
One day, trouble suddenly came to Jeanne.
When she returned to Burgenfield city, she was in for a big surprise. She received a letter containing terrible information.
The letter said that the nanny she trusted ran away with the money she had been given.
Not done with that horrible surprise, there came another even more horrible surprise.
To make matters worse, the nanny had sold all the children in the orphanage to slave traders.
Upon reading the news, Jeanne automatically went berserk like a crazy person.
She threw away all thoughts of who the person who had given her the letter was. Since the orphanage she had returned to was completely flattened to the ground, she became certain about the contents of the letter.
In the novel told, Jeanne was out having fun with Jullian when the children were kidnapped. They were having fun eating, snacking, and doing various other activities that were usually only done by lovers.
While they were having fun, the children at the orphanage were suffering. That reason made Jeanne even crazier.
Truly, a story filled with tragedy.
However, behind the bleakness of the tragedy, there was a light that began to shine. That light was the luck behind the misery.
The first light of hope came from within Jeanne's body.
As she went on a rampage by shouting incoherently and began to tear down the stalls of merchants on the streets, who had no sin, Jeanne's abilities began to increase with her rage.
In other words, her true potential was revealed when she was faced with the horrific ordeal. Until it was said in the novel that she would undergo a major change in a little while.
Jeanne just needed to rage blindly a little longer for that to happen.
Unfortunately, she was calmed down by Jullian, who also became the second light of hope-at least for Jeanne.
Only with the capital of speech,
"IT'S OKAY. I WILL DEFINITELY SAVE THEM!"
Jeanne was successfully calmed down.
'Had she been allowed to run amok, isn't it likely that her strength would have increased quite a lot? It's a pity that she was calmed down by Jullian so that she could only unleash a fraction of her original power'
Well, that was what the author of the book Demon Lord and Hero of Light said.
After Jeanne was calmed down by Jullian, the two of them then began to investigate the child abduction case in a more organized manner.
They began to look for information about where the slave traders who had kidnapped the children were hiding.
With Jullian's connections to the local nobles, it was not too difficult to gather information. Using the noble surname Arkie, he was able to scare the local nobles into helping with the information.
After he got the information, it was the main character's turn to start shining brightly.
As the old saying goes, if there was ever a big event, the hero would surely come and shine.
As if that old saying had come true, the hero came and saved everyone.
Of course, the hero was the main character in this world. And that person was obviously Jullian.
The way Jullian solved the problem was simple. Just break through and destroy everyone in the way.
He broke through the slavery headquarters with Jeanne, the main heroine.
The two of them immediately attacked the slave trader's headquarters using the information that Jullian had gotten.
Long story short, the slave trader who kidnapped the children from the orphanage was killed by Jullian. After that, the children managed to get their freedom.
Together with Jeanne, Jullian managed to save the children and other slaves, including the beastmen who were made slaves.
As he rescued the victims of slavery, news of his heroic deeds spread throughout the continent. By doing so, he had officially taken the first step towards being recognized as The Hero of Light.
And the first chapter of the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, which was about the event of the hero's emergence, ends there.

'Since when is there a cupboard here?'
There was a cupboard that had blocked the entrance to the inside of the orphanage.
It seems that originally there was a regular wooden door here, but it had been smashed to pieces. Instead, there was a cupboard blocking the way.
Break!
I broke in by kicking the cupboard with my foot.
At first, I thought that just a kick would make the cupboard pushed back. But apparently, my guess was wrong. The cupboard still stood firmly.
I was forced to mobilize the Mana inside me. Channeling it at the tip of my foot, I kicked the cupboard with all my might.
Crack!
Kaboom!
"Ahh!"
The cupboard was finally pushed backward and made a crashing sound as it hit the floor.
I failed to focus because of the strange sound that accompanied the crashing sound from the cupboard.
It looks like someone deliberately blocked the entrance to the inside of the orphanage to make it difficult to open.
When I went inside, I found quite an interesting sight.
It turned out that the short old man, who was the leader of the disgusting men, was hiding inside the orphanage.
He must have been worried about the strength Jeanne had shown.
Earlier, I was sure he had immediately run into the orphanage, then tried to lock the entrance by blocking the door using the cupboard.
'He's quite dexterous.
To be able to push the large cupboard must not be an easy thing. Especially since he had a small stature.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. Let alone attack recklessly like those women outside do, I won't do it. You can rest easy."
I tried to calm him down. He looked so nervous. I'm sure he tried to shout and tell his men to come here. But he didn't dare.
He backed away until he was pressed up against the wall like a lizard.
"D-do you think you've managed to defeat me? You and that woman outside will surely die for daring to mess with us. You must not know who you're dealing with..."
Bla, bla, bla, bla…
I stopped listening to his ramblings because I was afraid that my ears would get an infection from the words coming out of his mouth.
Walking straight into the orphanage, I stopped at the end of the room. I bent my knees and muttered, "Inventory", in a low voice.
After that, I picked up the Recovery Potion in a secret way.
Without waiting any longer, I poured the low-level Recovery Potion onto the back of someone who was lying limp on the floor.
Yes, when I first entered the orphanage, I didn't focus on the short old man at all. But instead, I focused on the condition of the child lying on the floor.
The wound on the child's back looked particularly gruesome. It tore through the clothes the child was wearing. Blood flooded the floor of the room.
When I put my finger under the child's nose to check whether she was still breathing or not. And as a result, I breathed a sigh of relief because she was still breathing.
"Hufft."
I don't know what would happen if this child died here. Jeanne and the other children would definitely be sad.
If this was a story in a novel, Jullian would have comforted Jeanne like a couple when this child died. However, I can't do such a disgusting thing.
I prefer to prevent it by treating this child.
After all, if I saved this child, it would already make Jeanne indebted to me. That way, half the plan I had to get Jeanne on my side was fully realized.
Once I felt that the Recovery Potion had done its job well, where the wound on the little girl's back started to stop bleeding, I was able to immediately move on to other matters.
"Are you the one who made this little girl get hurt so badly like this?"
"Heh. So what if I did? Are you upset?"
I didn't know where his confidence came from when all his men were being beaten up by Jeanne outside.
He still seemed very confident that he could beat Jeanne and me.
I'm sure he just thought that I was an ordinary Adventurer. That was why he could still be a little calm here.
I was curious about the old man in front of me, so I saw what information I could get from him.
"Judgement."

So that's how the window of someone's status as a commoner looks!
"So, you're a slave trader, huh?!"
"Uh, how do you know?"
Even if I didn't use the Judgement skill, I already had that guess in my mind.
It would be strange if someone didn't know about that when he himself shouted out loudly that he was a slave trader. I mean, look at the men he brought and his interest in children.
In fact, just by looking at his appearance, which was stylized as if he was a genuine nobleman, I could tell that he was a slave trader. Of course, my assumption was corroborated by his status window.
Surprisingly, he even looked very proud of his identity that had been discovered.
"Ahahaha, do you now know who I am? Let me introduce myself in full. I am the largest and only slave trader in this city...."
Bla bla bla bla….
I couldn't stand watching him open and close his mouth. I just let his words come in through my right ear and let them go out through my left ear. I didn't listen carefully to any of his words.
"Stop. I'll just get to the point. Let's make a deal."
"???"
Three large question marks appeared above his head. He stopped speaking in an instant. Putting the brakes on his words, he opened his eyes wide.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
