Previously on "The Hero's Harem Is Trying to Kill Him" – Chapter 50 Recap:
After surviving an ambush orchestrated by Astra's inner circle, Kai confronted Seris, the cunning assassin who'd once promised to protect him with her life. Her betrayal stung deeper than any blade—because it wasn't total. Seris let him go, whispering a truth that unsettled his very soul: "You were never supposed to be the hero. You were the mistake the gods couldn't erase."
Haunted, Kai turned to Yuri for answers. But the sword maiden had her own secret: she knew parts of Kai's past that he didn't. Their confrontation ended in tension—and an almost-kiss—until Velis's name was spoken in a blood ritual far away.
Meanwhile, Astra Volara moved in shadows, awakening an ancient warrior bound by death oaths and forgotten wars. Velis—an eyeless herald of forgotten truths—was sent to test Kai.
But test him for what?
The gods are watching. The betrayals are tightening. And Kai's flames are turning black.
