Plot Overview

After three hundred years of hunting demons in an otherworldly realm, Leon Dragonia Lionheart—the legendary Knight King—finally returns to Earth. But his homecoming is far from ordinary: he does not return alone.

Throughout his centuries-long crusade against demonic forces, Leon served the gods faithfully as their chosen champion, becoming not just a king but a living symbol of divine will and chivalric honor. His reign was defined by unwavering devotion to his deities, absolute adherence to the code of knighthood, and an iron determination to protect humanity from evil.

Now, as he sets foot once again on modern Earth, Leon brings with him the very gods he served—divine beings who now walk among mortals in a world that has long forgotten true faith. But the Earth he returns to is vastly different from the one he left behind. Modern society operates by different rules, values have shifted, and the concept of divine authority holds little meaning in this age of technology and skepticism.

As a man shaped by three centuries of holy war and medieval values, how will Leon navigate this strange new world? Can his ancient code of chivalry and divine mission find purpose in modern society? And what role will the gods play in a world that no longer believes in them? The Knight King’s greatest challenge may not be demons from another realm—but adapting to the very humanity he swore to protect.
