Kaiko sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life

Dariel, a former dark soldier in his thirties, was dismissed from the Demon Lord’s army due to his inability to wield magic. Despite being raised by the previous Demon Lord, his adoptive brother, the new ruler, saw no value in keeping him around. Struggling with feelings of inadequacy, Dariel wandered aimlessly until fate intervened. While traveling through a dense forest, he stumbled upon a young village girl under attack by a monstrous creature. Without hesitation, he stepped in and defeated the beast, saving her life. Grateful for his bravery, the girl invited him to her village, where he was welcomed with open arms. As he settled into this peaceful community, Dariel began to uncover hidden strengths within himself. Slowly, he realized that his true potential had been overlooked all along. The quiet, humble life he found among the villagers allowed him to grow in ways he never expected. No longer bound by the expectations of the Demon Lord’s army, Dariel discovered a new purpose—one that didn’t rely on magic but on his own resilience and kindness. His second life, though slow and unassuming, became far more rewarding than his past as a soldier.
