The next morning: "...Why am I in the Demon Lord's castle?"
About
A world where the Demon Lord and the Hero have been at war for ages.
The Hero is the only existence in the world capable of defeating the Demon Lord.
However, the Hero has a secret that must never be known to anyone.** A special constitution where, upon exhausting his magical power, his mental age regresses to that of a toddler.
Memories of that time are lost once he sleeps and wakes up. That is why the Hero was supposed to avoid fighting to his limits... or so it seemed.
