The Demon King Overrun by Heroes Chapter 31 release date is expected next Friday, May 22, 2026. The official English serialization releases weekly, with the original Korean updates provided via Naver Webtoon.
If you have been following the saga of Berje, you know this series is a time-travel fantasy built on subverting classic RPG tropes. The story begins when Berje, the Demon King, realizes he diligently followed all the “demon king’s standards” (like kidnapping princesses) only to realize his tower was just a custom-made hunting ground for endless waves of heroes. After getting killed, he regresses back in time, abandons the rules, and decides to survive as a hard-headed rogue Demon King who fights back on his own terms.

Why The Demon King Overrun by Heroes Chapter 31 Matters
The manhwa launched on Naver Webtoon in late November 2025 and has been maintaining a steady weekly update schedule. Chapter 30 was just released recently, meaning Chapter 31 will push past the first major story arcs. The web novel it is based on has over 240 chapters, meaning the manhwa still has a massive amount of source material to adapt as Berje continues to encounter and thwart the overpowered heroes who previously farmed him for XP.
What makes Chapter 31 so critical? The story currently revolves around Berje preemptively striking or manipulating the heroes who killed him in his past life. Chapter 31 is expected to feature a continuation of his strategic maneuvering as he continues to break the classic RPG rules to ensure his survival and outsmart the incoming hero parties.
The Demon King Overrun by Heroes Chapter 31 Spoilers
Because the manhwa is adapting a web novel that is completely finished, readers already have a sense of what to expect.
Breaking the Standards
The core premise relies on Berje throwing out the “Demon King’s Standards.” Instead of waiting in his tower, he actively interferes with hero development. Chapter 31 will likely focus on his latest scheme to derail a specific hero’s journey before they become strong enough to threaten him.
Hero Interceptions
The series features multiple heroes with different tropes (the regressor hero, the chosen one, etc.). Expect Chapter 31 to introduce or further complicate Berje’s relationship with one of these heroes as he tries to survive the overwhelming numbers targeting his domain.
