Max the Hero and his party defeat the Demon Lord, who swears to return. Ten years later, the Demon Lord reincarnates, but his army has entered hibernation except for his secretary Zenia. Lacking his former magic power, he now resembles an androgynous young boy. In his absence, society has advanced to resemble the modern world. Desiring his revenge, the Demon Lord locates Max and is disappointed to find Max is now a lazy, unemployed slacker living alone in a one room apartment. Max reveals after the Demon Lord's defeat, society did not need him anymore and after a series of public scandals, he faded into obscurity. The Demon Lord tries to rouse Max by threatening to raise his army and destroy the world, but Max has grown to hate the world that rejected him and has no objections to letting the former destroy everything. Completely dejected, the Demon Lord leaves but Max is surprised when the former returns, announcing he is moving in to kick Max into shape as a worthy hero while waiting for his own powers to return so they can finally enjoy their rematch.
