A hero named Raon killed the Demon King. He fought the battles. He saved the world. He did everything that was asked of him and more. The war was won. The enemy was defeated. The story was supposed to be over.
Yet he still could not return to his original world.
Instead of peace, he got another journey. Another world. Another crisis that needs saving. Another set of people who look at him like he is their only hope.
Raon does not want to be a hero anymore. He wants to sleep. He wants to eat something that is not travel rations. He wants to sit down and do absolutely nothing for a hundred years. He has earned that rest. He has bled for it. He has died for it.
But the universe has other plans.
This is the story of a hero on his second journey, who wants nothing more than to rest but must save another world before he can finally go home. Every monster he kills is one step closer to retirement. Every quest he completes is one more thing standing between him and a nap.
He is tired. He is grumpy. He is absolutely done with being chosen.
And yet he keeps saving people anyway because that is who he is, even when he hates every second of it.
