Escape Artist [A Final Boss Retirement LitRPG]
novel
After spending fifty lives as the prophesied Lord of Dusk, Corbin is officially done trying to stop the Hero of Legend. He's tried everything he could think of. Fighting. Surrendering. Killing the Hero early, late, and just about every point in between. Somehow it almost always ended with Prince Frederick standing over his corpse and Corbin's unique Escape Artist trait resetting him back to the day it all began. So this time, he's trying something different. He’d do without all of his usual things. From the armies and forbidden relics, all the way to that stubborn, annoyingly inevitable prophecy. This time he’d make do with just an Alchemist class, a hundred acres at the edge of nowhere, and a dream of brewing ale that doesn't taste terrible. Unfortunately, farming requires workers. Workers need roads. Roads bring merchants. Merchants bring settlers. And the failing hamlet Corbin chose specifically because nobody cared about it is suddenly becoming a thriving little town. The real cherry on top that made it worse? Corbin is starting to care a bit too... And somewhere out there, the Hero of Legend is still looking for the last member of his prophesized party, not knowing that the missing companion and the Lord of Dusk were one and the same. Escaping destiny was supposed to be less of a headache than this. New Chapters Uploaded Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!
