Reed's summoning skill pulled a wooden chair during a boss fight. A chair. It sat in the summoning circle while a level 35 dungeon guardian tried to cave his skull in. He used it as a shield. That's what [Random Summon] was: 98% garbage, 2% barely useful, and the reason the Hero's party kept him around as a punching bag instead of a teammate. For two years, Reed took the beatings. The stolen loot. The healer who patched his bones but never asked who broke them. Then the Hero buried him alive in a collapsing dungeon and filed him as dead.

He saved the world. Now he just wants to run a tavern. Garrett Ironwood was an incredible adventurer who killed the Demon King and ended a war that nearly destroyed everything. Now, he's bought a broken-down inn in the middle of nowhere, determined to spend his remaining years in peaceful obscurity. Pour drinks. Serve food. Forget the blood on his hands. But peace is hard to find when a beautiful maid with secrets moves into your tavern. When a runaway princess lands on your doorstep. When the monsters in the forest start acting like something is driving them toward your village.
