After being worked quite literally to death, corporate slave Routa Okami's dying wish is to be reborn as the well-loved pet of a rich family. When a compassionate goddess actually grants his wish, Routa commits himself to the lazy, carefree, all-you-can-nap lifestyle of a pampered pup-complete with a beautiful owner and all the delicious food he can eat! But as Routa grows...and grows...and grows...he realizes something is terribly wrong. With his enormous body, razor-sharp teeth, and fierce visage, it's painfully obvious that he was reincarnated not as a dog but as a giant wolf. And not just any wolf-the legendary wolf king Fenrir!

A new day dawns at the Faulks family mansion as Fenrir-er, Routa-struggles to maintain the facade of being nothing more than man's best friend. Papa Gandolf has to travel to the Royal Capital on business and decides to make a family trip out of it, inviting everyone along. While it's an idyllic vacation at first, trouble arises when Routa gets scouted by a collector of rare and magical creatures! And later on, a group of adventurers is dispatched to Feltbelk Forest to investigate the site of a recent magical disturbance. Will Routa be able to keep his secret safe? ...Speaking of secrets, Hecate's been acting a bit weird lately...

In an odd twist of fate, two of the Demon Lord’s generals have entered the service of the Faulks mansion. Surely Routa can finally take a break and enjoy his pampered pooch life, right…? Of course not. Elizabeth, aka Drills, is coming over for a playdate with Lady Mary, but she’s not alone. The recent spike in magical activity within Feltbelk Forest has caught the attention of the Hero Alstera, who has come to investigate. What a lucky break! Now Routa can leave the suppression of the Demon Lord’s army to Alstera and loaf around to his heart’s content! …Or so he thinks. Apparently, the Hero has a nasty reputation as a merciless monster hunter, so it’s up to Routa to keep his forest friends safe!

A series of unexpected events has brought yet another general of the Demon Lord into the employ of the Faulks mansion…Belgor, formerly disguised as the holy sword, is settling into his new post as a kitchen knife. It’s looking like it might be a while before Routa’s life returns to normal. In fact, it’s almost as if everyone’s forgotten his role as the family pet, seeing how he’s called to search for missing pups and fight against evil with Alstera in the Royal Capital. But when the mansion faces a water shortage, Routa is among the first to volunteer in the search for answers! After all, no water means no baths, which is unacceptable! It looks like another of the Demon Lord’s minions might be responsible for this…but it’ll take more than their army of generals to keep Routa from living his best pet life!

With the leaders of the Demon Lord’s army pacified, the truth of Mary’s illness is finally revealed. The mysterious force eating away at her life is the very seal that keeps the Demon Lord contained! The only way to cure her is to stop the seal from ever being placed, but to do that… Routa will have to travel one thousand years into the past, back to where it all began, and rewrite history! Routa would do anything to preserve his pampered-pooch life. But when asked to put it all on the line to save the one he loves most, the choice is simple… It’s time to face the Demon Lord!

It's not easy being rich. For where there is treasure, there will be treasure hunters. So when the mansion receives advance warning that they'll be visited by bandits, Routa begrudgingly comes out of retirement-yet again-to defend his home and his leisurely way of life. But when the bandits are revealed to be three beautiful, good-natured elf sisters, the situation gets a little more complicated... And if that wasn't bad enough, the mansion gets hit by another thief! A thief who's stealing...veggies? The Faulks estate sure seems to be getting a lot of uninvited guests lately. But the most high-profile of them all would have to be the newly awakened general of the Demon Lord!
