I have to say I've read quite a few novels about heroes. And in some of them there is this super powerful villain who can't seem to do anything right when it comes to capturing heroes, that general the Demon Lord sends out to do pretty much everything for him.

Yeah, the one who keeps sending the same dumb grunts every time and then freaks when things go wrong, as usual.

The guy who actually goes and commands armies to burn cities while the Lord leans back lazily and grins in that super hot, evil way that turns even the most rational young woman into a fangirl.

In the end he'll be the midboss just before the Hero goes up against the evil Lord. Sometimes the Evil Lord is the one kills the guy for failing about 1000 times, even though he's pretty much Prime minister and highest general in one. You know, the one who actually did the conquering.

I always thought that guy had it coming when he inevitably died.

That was, before I was reborn in the world of one of my favorite games and realized that my new identity was strangely similar to that of a certain General with a gift for winning battles against pretty much everybody and actually ruling the territories the demon Kingdom took over efficiently enough.

To be honest...I'll be damned if I play second fiddle to a guy who does nothing but sit on a throne bathing in his inborn beauty and OPnes only to either go down with him or die by his hand!!!
