When destroying the world and killing the hero grows boring, what’s a Demon Overlord to do but quit while he’s ahead. Begin the conquest of ordinary life today.

***Includes an exclusive bonus adventure coming 25/08/26!***

Galornus Prime was the Scourge of Nations, Ender of Hope, and Master of the Cardinal Sins had achieved all a villain could dream of. But after 444 lifetimes of villainy, it’ finally time to rest. His retirement plan was perfect: Get a goat, farm quietly, and don’t accidentally conquer anything. Evil never sleeps… but it does plant turnips.

But when corrupt officials and greedy merchants threaten his infuriatingly loveable neighbours, Galornus faces his greatest challenge yet: saving his village without revealing he’s the very monster parents invoke to make children eat their vegetables.

Demon Overlord’s Retirement Plan is a cozy fantasy with teeth, where the hardest battle isn’t defeating heroes-it’s staying retired and learning how to live after 444 lifetimes of villainy. Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree, TJ Klune and T. Kingfisher.
