Plot

The Demon Lord Varvatos is bored and isolated by his vast power and lack of challenges, so he commits suicide, intending to eventually reincarnate as an average boy. 3,000 years later, he reincarnates as the human Ard Meteor, though he is still extraordinarily powerful and retains knowledge of ancient magic lost to history. After befriending the elf Ireena Litz de Olhyde, they join the Academy of Magic. After he rescues the succubus Ginny Fin de Salvan, they form a team and go on adventures while Ireena and Ginny compete for Ard's affections.

Ard meets her by the tree where she reveals the replica is actually the real Vald-Galgus and the item sealed in the tree is its power source.

The masked man watches with joy, revealing he placed Sylphy under mind control and showed her a memory of Ard murdering Lydia.

Disappointed, the masked man retrieves the two swords to kill Ard himself, revealing he needs to sacrifice Ireena to resurrect his true master.

They wake up in the wilderness and see two moons in the sky, so Ard realizes they were sent to the distant past of Varvatos' reign and explains one of the moons was destroyed. They rescue a girl from a giant scorpion. Olivia arrives and thanks them for saving her subordinate, then asks them to join Varvatos' army as they are at war with otherworldly beings. They accept local clothing from her and Ard requests that they serve under the scholar Verda, since she doesn't fight on the front lines and the girls should be safe. Ireena and Ginny inadvertently insult Verda when they don't recognize her since she doesn't resemble her image in historical records. They explain they are from the future and Verda promises to help them. Sylphy and Lydia show up to request reinforcements, but Lydia becomes attracted to Ginny and sexually harasses her.

To the trio's confusion, Varvatos is not called the Demon Lord and says the enemy's leader has that title. After Varvatos dismisses them, they discuss the inconsistencies with Verda, who speculates that the Demon Lord, whom Varvatos fought to a draw in the past, is the being the god wanted them to stop and is changing history. Ginny suggests telling Varvatos the truth, but they will need to do something impressive to meet him again. Ard leaves Ireena and Ginny behind to join Lydia and Sylphy on a raid of Mevilas the Curse King, whom Ard remembers as the one who cursed Lydia and forced Varvatos to kill her.

He too has been sent back in time by God but with the mission of destroying the world and battling Varvatos, but the guilt over his mistakes is too much so he intends to save Lydia and then die in battle against her. He gives Ard time to consider joining him before vanishing. Later, Lydia asks what is troubling him and Ard cryptically asks what she would do if she had to die to fix a mistake. She takes him to a town she had to destroy during the war, massacring even the children and explains due to guilt she has already decided she will one day die in complete obscurity once the world is finally at peace. During the next battle Ard sneaks away to meet Disaster-Rogue and explains he will not deny Lydia her own repentance and will allow her to die. Disaster-Rogue attacks him but due to their identical abilities neither can win, until Disaster-Rogue reveals he arranged for the battle to occur at the same time as their duel to distract him.

However, when they reach it, Latima betrays them and binds them to magic-nullifying crosses, revealing she is working for Disaster-Rogue. Disaster-Rogue shows Ard the captive girls and orders Ard to join him or they will die, saying he will kill anyone just to save Lydia. Ireena and Ginny escape the crosses using atypical magic taught by Ard. Undaunted, Latima summons a squad of monsters, saying she will kill anyone just to save Lydia. Lydia arrives, as she had put tracking devices on the two, defeats the monsters and knocks Latima out, then destroys the crystal. After losing his immortality, Disaster-Rogue attacks Ard in a rage. They both remember a time they had a fight with Lydia that they regret. An apparition of Lydia restrains Disaster-Rogue, allowing Ard to kill him. As soon as he dies, Ard, Ireena, and Ginny start disappearing. Lydia, who knew they were from the future, asks the two girls if the people are happy in the future. When they confirm it, she asks them to pass a message to Ard. In the white void, the god thanks Ard for succeeding. He will not identify himself, but says he is an ally. The trio wake up in the present shortly after they left, while Olivia and Sylphy berate them for falling asleep. Ireena passes Lydia's message: no matter what happens, they will always be friends. Ard is happy when he sees the apparition of Lydia watching over him.
