SENTENCED TO BE A HERO: EPISODE 1

Episode 1 flips the fantasy hero idea by revealing that becoming a “hero” is actually a punishment, with criminals forced to fight and die endlessly. Xylo Forbartz is a quiet, emotionally distant lead accused of killing a goddess, and despite saving others, he’s treated with fear, showing how power and politics outweigh justice. The escort mission, a sealed goddess is revealed, and the Demon Blight’s appearance set up a dark anti-hero story focused on survival, trust, and what it truly means to be a hero.
