“Mou… I don’t want to work anymore,” the adventurer muttered under his breath. After years of relentless labor, he’d finally reached his breaking point. No matter how much they begged or threatened, his decision was final—this E-Rank mage named Aix was done. At just nineteen years old, he’d spent half a decade perfecting his singular magical specialty: extending spell durations. But the endless grind had taken its toll, leaving him collapsed on his own doorstep in sheer exhaustion. That moment of weakness became his moment of clarity.
Enough was enough.
With newfound determination, Aix abandoned his adventurer’s license, declaring he’d never lift a finger for others again. Panic spread among those who had grown accustomed to his unique magic—who would maintain their extended spells now? But their desperate pleas fell on deaf ears. Threats, bribes, even hollow promises of better treatment—none of it swayed him. Aix simply smiled and turned them all away.
“I’m finished with work. Forever.”
And so began the story of a novice mage who dared to say no—a tale of rebellion, freedom, and the refusal to be exploited any longer. His journey as a former adventurer had ended, but his life on his own terms was just beginning.
