A Knight Imprisoned to Save Humanity

A disgraced knight is forced to lead a squad of convicts against demonic forces to earn his freedom. Instead of a classic heroic quest, his journey begins with a false conviction and a life sentence in a brutal penal unit.

Xylo Forbartz goes from a respected knight to a prisoner leading Penal Unit 9004 after being wrongly accused of a crime. To survive and fight back against encroaching demonic armies, he forms an unlikely alliance with a goddess named Teoritta. The story explores the dark reality of forced labor units while blending high-fantasy combat with a tale of redemption. It has successfully expanded from a web novel into both a print series and a manga.
