Heroism—a punishment for only the worst criminals. Those sentenced to the fate of a hero are forced to fight at the front lines against the demon king’s army—and if they die, all they can expect is to be revived and continue the battle. But when their leader, convicted of killing a goddess, meets another goddess himself, the contract they forge may be enough to change the world...

NO REST FOR THE WICKED! Xylo and his unit of penal heroes may have defeated the immortal demon lord Iblis and saved Mureed Fortress, but their punishment goes on. New enemies emerge—a demon lord with the ability to don a human disguise and a band of assassins bent on killing Teoritta—plunging the city of Ioff into chaos and destruction. With the addition of a dragon knight who couldn’t care less about human life and a mysterious artilleryman, Penal Hero Unit 9004 finds itself sinking ever deeper into a vortex of combat and conspiracy!

Goblin Slayer and his party head north to the snowy mountains in search of Noble Fencer, a young adventurer who disappeared during a goblin hunt.

Shinichi Sotoyama might just be the world’s most average high schooler. That is, until he finds himself summoned by the Blue Demon King to a fantasy world—just like his favorite RPG games! Except this Demon King is pathetically begging at his feet, lamenting the arrival of some “heroes”...who apparently, have infinite lives and respawn over and over again?!Unlike his hysterical summoner, Shinichi coolly takes on the challenge of fending off these pesky heroes, literally shaking hands with the devil. But the demon clan is about to find out that his twisted mind is darker than the worst of them!

Just remember this. In this world of ours... ...the first to die are those without guts. A portion of humanity has obtained special abilities, and two groups emerge in conflict. On the side of justice are "heroes." On the side of villainy are "monsters." For Chiaki, however, all that matters is finding work to support his younger brothers. But when a simple train ride to his latest interview takes a perverse turn, his sense of right leads him down an unexpected and uncomfortable path! From the mind of Prison School creator Akira Hiramoto comes a raw new story of a man caught between good and evil, lies and truth-and light and shadow!

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!

Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don't fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy--the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
