Kang Han Soo had finally reached the end of his 10- year long journey, confronting the Demon King and defeating him. He can finally go back home to Earth... except....

## Summary

The chapter begins with a statement saying the story was a dramatization of the original work with some deviations.

A man speaks out loud to a group of corpses, still wondering why, after ten years of being in a fantasy world, it was different then what he read and seen in comics, cartoons, and novels. He admits to being normal unlike the stereotypical otaku protagonists that are summoned to another world to save it and was frustrated by the present world's treatment of him. He mocks those dead for being chatty when they were alive before declaring that it was time to fight the Demon King so he could finally go home. He walks through the desolated hall leading to the King's room that was covered in demon corpses. He also muses on the fantasy world he was in, a world where "Might makes Right" and where the people who summoned him heaped the title of "hero of legend", the savior of mankind from the Demon King, on him.

Sword drawn, the hero kicks down the door to see a humanoid demon sitting on a throne. The demon introduces himself as the pinnacle of evil, Pedonar, while the hero is happy that the demon before him was the real one and not one of his many clones he was forced to deal with along his journey. Before they start fighting, the hero interrupts to ask why Pedonar stood by as his subordinates were slaughtered by the hero and his party throughout the journey. The demon insisted that he had actually been sending stronger minions against the hero the entire time as revenge for the previous minions killed, ultimately creating a viscous cycle. The hero instead thanks him, as not confronting the hero from the start, the demon king had strengthened the hero through experience and loot. Pedonar promptly cuts off the hero for the assumption using the excuse of "demon politics". Disappointed in his unanswered question, the hero finally fights Pedonar, determined to defeat the enemy and leave the "savage" fantasy world and become a "cultured" Earth citizen again.

Their battle was strong enough to crumble much of the Demon King's castle, yet the hero admits that he didn't need "fake, cheap tricks" to fight as the endurance he went through in the ten years was more than enough. The hero defeats Pedonar and as he lay dying, he asks the human if his strength was from the rage of losing his party companions. The hero flinches before answering no, it was due to his training. Pedonar thanks the hero for a wonderful fight before disintegrating. Surprised how easy the final fight was, the hero calls out to the Fantasy world God that he did his duty and wants to return to Earth. He fantasizes on what he will do when he returns, including thanking his parents, dating and more importantly ... finally using a modern day toilet! His thoughts are interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious shadowy female figure, who reveals herself to be said Fantasy World God.

She gives a speech on how a true Hero's path is tough, but they didn't lose their hopes and dreams and formed bonds with people who supported them. And thanks to learning love and friendship from these people, the hero was able to defeat the Demon King. She congratulates the hero before showing him his report card, catching the man completely off guard. The man, named Kang Han-Soo, looks at the results:

* Combat Power: S
* Achievements: A-
* Reputation: D+
* Character: F

The scorers also asks why Han-Soo killed his "sane" comrades, causing the man to flinch again and also reveal that the corpses he had been monologuing to in the beginning of the chapter were said comrades (Sage, Sword Princess, Elf Queen, Mercenary King). He had ambushed and killed them before confronting Pedonar because they were a hindrance. He then points out how they all mistreated and abused him during his journey while also tending to impose on him. The Goddess declares that he failed, as despite succeeding, his personality was the opposite of what a powerful hero should be. He must be retested for the sake of "world order and peace", meaning he will return to the first day of his test. And ignoring the confused and angered Han-Soo's protests, he is teleported away; the Goddess states that the faculty and teaching staff prays for his success, a professional instructor was dispatched and that he was designated as a "trash hero".

Han-Soo then awakens in a summoning circle in his high school uniform and ten years younger, *on the first day of the test*.
