The story is also on Royal Road.
After too many lifetimes to count of slaying demons and grinding levels, prophesied hero Kaito finally tells destiny where to shove it.
He's done.
When dimensional portal #17 drops him in front of an enthralled king begging him to vanquish the looming Dark Army, he does what any retired adventurer would do—politely refuses and heads off to focus on the simple pleasures of life: community, and getting his taxes done on time.
No more impossible quests, no more magical MacGuffins, no more final bosses. Kaito is putting his armor out to pasture for good in a cozy village baking hell-herbs and bread. He's found peace. He's found home. He's finally free to live out his slice-of-life fantasy.

*The pace is fast at the beginning, but it slows down after the first few chapters.
