The Retired Hero is an Extra
[2024 JUNE WPC WINNER]
Orphaned at ten and betrayed by his guardian at nineteen, the protagonist's life spirals into darkness, yet some light remains, only to be cruelly extinguished when his girlfriend sacrifices herself during a brutal demon attack.
As a result, he is bestowed with a mysterious system that imbues him with the strength, making him dedicate himself to eradicating demons.
Upon defeating the Demon King, he is granted a reward and chooses to reincarnate into a novel-like world with sealed memories until age thirteen.
Reborn as the second son of a Duke, he yearns a peaceful life and respite from his tumultuous past. However, fate has different plans.
In a world full of political games and supernatural dangers, he finds himself caught in conflicts involving a transmigrator villain and a regressor protagonist.
Amid noble family ties, surprising friendships, and veiled threats, he must find his way through this new life, all the while dealing with lingering scars and the chaos that threatens to engulf him and those around him.
Can he truly find solace in a world determined to pull him back into the fight?
Will he succeed in forging a relaxed and slow life amidst the relentless anomalies at every step?

Well, I am writing this novel to try a new style and get a temporary break from my first novel, which has become stagnant. As always, you can just ask any questions regarding the book, and I'll answer them without spoilers, of course.(◠‿◕)
Reader's discretion: This novel is slow-paced, as all masterpieces need time to become a masterpiece, so don't dive in, hoping for it to be another fast-paced action-packed novel. It's a slice of life... for the most part.

The Academy Arc has started, so it's the perfect time to leave a mandatory 5 star review!! Okay, I won't be biased and it's 3.5-4 surely. The writing is a bit unique and different from typical novels out here, so I understand if it's not your cup of tea. However, one thing I guarantee is that it'll be a good one despite its shortcomings... Anyways, feel free to ask anything that you feel like and I'll answer without spoilers~ What are you waiting for?? Go read!! Now!!
Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different way and without fighting and by trying to make it clear, and by considering each and everyone's opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Easily the best slice of life on the platform
It was a great read! The flow of the narration was new to me, making it an interesting new experience. Definitely would recommend! Great work, author! More chapters~!
Easily one of the best slife of life wn... (hope author finds me a 10/10 baddie😭
hello Author-san ..... I just boosted guess who popularity by 19000 just so that i can write in his personality ( Guess who - is that you DADDY ❤️??) ....... Now it say's i can't do that i need 50 fan value the system is rigged I am yelling you!!!!!!! 🤬🤬😭😭😭
nice idea for a slice of life. i love drama and this book scream drama. good luck author. i like the world building and mysteries waiting for more...
There isn't much to say other than the FACT that the story is great and a great recommendation to get away from the usual fight, drama, system baring overpowered MCs.
I will say this....I am not a fan of slice of life genre but the first chapter got me hooked to the point that i read the next chapter and next and to the latest chapter. I really want to know how the characters will fare at the end of the story. Good job author 👏.
If you're looking to read a good story that's interesting you're in the right place. Even though it's still in its early stages I can tell that once the plot really gets going it will be one of the best stories I've read.
slow paced story which make it quite tiring waiting for anything substantial to happen. Good luck author but its not for me who likes a much faster well paced story and not ones filled with mediocre thing like a cold shower...who cares? Dropped
it's a good read, try at least ten chs and you will know!
I forgot to give a review so the author has kidnapped my dog and as ransom I need to write a review on his novel. Since I'm dead. Long story short it's a very good and well written slice of life story.
The author does great work with the characters and the story progression as well as the descriptions. With the past experiences, this should also be another great bager~!
The story seems good and from the looks of it, the writer has a great way with words. They are learning how to work with perspective but they should soon find their equilibrium with them. The pacing and balance is not perfect but it is not so much that it affects anything. Overall, it’s a great experience with a progression structure where the MC also has experience of his past.
The way the story is written is a little difficult to follow. We need more information on the background. Love the dual main character. Good over all. Maybe add small dialogs about what other characters think of jash. What ever happened to the kings suspicions?
