Those sentenced to heroism are thrown onto the front lines against the Demon Lords, and death offers no release—they are simply revived and sent back to fight again. Xylo Forbartz, a former Holy Knight commander convicted of killing a goddess, leads Penal Hero Unit 9004, a band of prisoners the state considers disposable ammunition.During one mission, Xylo encounters Teoritta, a mysterious Goddess and living weapon capable of changing the balance of the war. He forms a contract with her that should never have been possible, and every new suicide mission turns their bond into a potential rebellion against the system that has made death itself part of the sentence. To break the chains of heroism, however, Xylo must first keep together a unit whose members have little reason to trust the world forcing them to save it.
