The Former Strongest Hero Lives as a Side Character

Blanc, once hailed as the Black Emperor, was the unrivaled Grade-0 Adventurer whose name echoed throughout the lands. His legendary battle against the dreaded Black Dragon, a creature that had cast the world into darkness, cemented his status as a hero of mythic proportions. However, after achieving the pinnacle of strength and fame, he stunned everyone with an unexpected announcement. “I’m stepping down as a Grade-0 Adventurer,” he declared, leaving the world in disbelief. No longer the center of attention, Blanc chose to fade into the background, embracing the quiet life of an ordinary side character. Though his deeds remained etched in history, he sought solace away from the spotlight, content with a simpler existence. The once-feared warrior now walks unnoticed, his past glory a distant memory. His decision baffled many, but for Blanc, it was the ultimate freedom—a chance to live without the weight of expectations. The world moved on, but whispers of the Black Emperor’s legacy still linger in taverns and tales. Some wonder if he’ll ever return, while others believe he’s found peace in obscurity. Regardless, his legend endures, even as he chooses to remain unseen.
