Synopsis
The hero Kaito Ukei died. Blood seeped from his wounds, his body went limp, and the ones who he once called friends gloated over his death. Betrayed, Kaito was consumed by one thought: revenge. With this will, a system message announced that the Holy Sword of Vengeance activated, and time began to rewind—all the way to when he was first summoned to this other world.

This time, Kaito won't be a fool. He won't fall for their lies and platitudes. He will return every inch of pain they inflicted on him and carve it deep in their hearts so they never forget his name. They will regret using him; after all, he will not give them the satisfaction of a quick death. Even if they plead, beg, or cry, Kaito will only laugh. There is no respite from his beautiful and bloody path of revenge.

Character
"So. Who do you want to kill? Just... who is the one you want to take revenge on?"

- Ukei Kaitoo to Minaris. The main character of this work. He was summoned from the earth to another world as a hero to defeat the demon king, but after finishing the subjugation of the demon king, he was killed by humans all over the world. However, due to the ability called "tutorial mode" prepared by the god of the earth, he will rewind to the time when he was summoned to another world while retaining the memory of his first life.

Knowing that he has obtained an opportunity for revenge in an unexpected way, he sets out on a journey to take revenge on those who betrayed him in the first world while regaining the lost power when he rewinds. Because he was betrayed by many people in his first world, he doesn't trust anyone other than those who signed a contract with the Holy Sword of Revenge. In addition, he vows in his heart to mercilessly dispose of those who betray him and those who try to harm him, after showing him a hell beyond the treatment he has given to him.

It should be noted that outsiders who are not the target of revenge will not be recklessly involved, but if it is necessary to make the revenge target feel pain, they will be used without mercy.

Personality:


 * Initially, Kaito was a kind and caring boy who would do anything to help others. However, after being betrayed and discovering that his parents, his sister, his friends and his teacher were used as a sacrifice to summon him, his personality completely changed to that of a cold, cruel, brutal, unstable, relentless, vindictive, bloodthirsty and sadistic killer.
 * Kaito won't be a fool. He won't fall for their lies and platitudes. He will return every inch of pain they inflicted on him and carve it deep in their hearts so they never forget his name. They will regret using him; after all, he will not give them the satisfaction of a quick death. Even if they plead, beg, or cry, Kaito will only laugh. There is no respite from his beautiful and bloody path of revenge.

Abilities
"Isn't it obvious? I would be able to think much more enjoyable vengeance with more people, don't you agree? Besides, there is a lot of work that has to be done in order to hurt, torture, and break those bastards, don't you agree? I don't have any need for guys who are satisfied with killing people but you're not like that, right? Right?!"

- Ukei Kaitoo revealing Minaris of his desires for vengeance His unique skill, "Heart/Spirit Sword", is the ability to form and use swords made of magic with different shapes and abilities as needed. Due to the abilities and effects obtained from swords, even though he is a Japanese who is unfamiliar with combat techniques, he is able to compete with enemies from another world. New swords are added by satisfying certain actions and conditions (eg: Devil's Egg Sword → Destruction of the dungeon core). Although he is good at close combat, he has no talent for magic. However, the above Spirit Sword can cause phenomena close to magic.
