I was kicked out of the hero’s party because they didn’t need my training skills anymore. At 27, I’d been the backbone of the group, but once they got strong enough, the hero decided I was useless. As a consolation prize for all my years of service, they gave me a tiny fief instead of a proper retirement fund.
At first, I felt empty leaving the adventuring life behind. But when I saw my new territory—just seven villages with 2,500 people—an idea hit me. If I trained them properly, could I build an army strong enough to take down the demon lord myself?
