I Quit: Now the Queen Begs Me Back

For a thousand grueling years, a solitary immortal champion defended the northern fortress against relentless demonic legions, shielding the realm from annihilation. Rather than honoring his unmatched sacrifices, the newly crowned queen strips him of rank and casts him into the street like an ordinary vagrant.

Accepting her foolish verdict without protest, the legendary defender lays down his enchanted armor and departs. The instant his warding magic fades, ancient abyssal horrors breach the border walls, leaving the terrified sovereign pleading for his return.
