Takao Ryonosuke was a Japanese student summoned to the kingdom of Solmara alongside ten other heroes.
After two decades of battle, he finally defeats the Demon King—only to be poisoned by the very monarch who summoned him.
But death was not the end.
The Goddess of Death, Shion, offers Takao a second life in exchange for one thing: to harvest the souls of the wicked.
Now reborn as Ren Kanzaki, the quiet third son of a rural noble family, he hides behind the mask of a humble farmer…
But when night falls, he dons a different role—one the corrupt nobility have learned to fear.
As a phantom of The Opera, he brings silent judgment upon those who thrive on suffering.
He’s no longer a hero.
He’s their reckoning.
