Harrick Gallow spends a century as the strongest warrior alive, though only the elites know he exists.

He kills dragons when they attack the countryside, defeats necromancer hosts of hundreds of thousands of undead, slaughters beast tides that threaten to swallow the kingdom whole, and saves humanity time and again. He breaks past the impossible Level 99 barrier and reaches Level 105, something long believed to be unattainable.

Recently, he kills the Demon Lord. Except, unlike before, no one has an inkling that the Demon Lord is dead yet.

He wants to keep it that way.

Harrick Gallow is tired of politics, wars, endless campaigns, and people looking at him like a weapon and treating him like one. He is tired of the rot that fills the courts of kings and emperors. More than anything, he wants to rest and stop marching toward death and destruction.

So he does exactly that.

Harrick Gallow, now Garrick Hallow, leaves the known world behind. He abandons the capitals and retires to a frontier town, where he opens a repair and herb shop and maybe… just maybe builds a family for himself.

Yet that is far easier said than done when you are the strongest person alive.

Being ordinary is not something he is used to.

Worse, trouble has a habit of following him wherever he goes. This time, though, he intends to keep his identity hidden while protecting his loved ones, his neighbors, a dog so loyal it practically leaks devotion, and a cat of unquestionable royalty that has claimed a broken crate as its throne—and Garrick’s shoulder whenever the crate is unavailable.
