Beyond the Ash — The World Zoltraak Saw

A thousand years ago, the Demon King Zoltraak died. But this is the story of everything that came before that death. In a small village on the southern highlands of Menhir, a young demoness named Wilhelm Ashna lives quietly. She is fourteen, a modest magic user, and has a habit of reading books written by humans. She finds them fascinating — even the ones that say demons are evil. One morning, her village is burned to ash by a hero's party. A 'demon extermination.' Ashna is the only survivor.
