Being sentenced to Heroship was the most severe punishment one could be given.
Heroes would be sent to the frontline of a never-ending battle against the demon lords.
Not even death could relieve them on their duty.
There was no end to prison sentence. Even if they fought for a hundred years, they would still not be released.
Only by killing every last demon lord would they be pardoned for their crimes.
And...that was no more than a pipe dream.
However, things might be different for XYRO, Penal Hero Unit 9004. He accidentally meets a goddess...and she asks him to be her knight!
