Isekai Legendary (Retired) Knight 5
(2026)(The fifth book in the Isekai Legendary (Retired) Knight series)
A novel by Benjamin Koo
He’s eating his way from the bottom of the sea to the city of bards. And the world of Epicurios… may be in danger again?
Flynn Minet spent ten years as the Sword Demigod, the overpowered hero summoned from Cincinnati to end the Demon Lord’s war. Now he’s twenty-eight, happily retired, and working through the legendary kitchens of the West in his guidebook of the hundred greatest restaurants on the continent. His loyal pegasus Gus is still at his side, and still demanding treats at every stop.
Things start off a little awkwardly. After one long night alone with the Goddess in a temple Worship Room, Flynn steps out to find hundreds of weeping paladins on their knees, hailing him as ‘Father Flynn.’ A pillar of holy light rose from the room all night, and he’d rather not explain what caused it.
The menu has never been wilder: golden saffron Mermen Bouillabaisse in a glowing undersea city, crispy fried Great Shark Lord, a thick orc Toll Stew and smokehouse barbecue on an ancient stone bridge, a Fairy Ring Mushroom Tart made from mushrooms picked by fairies at dawn, a seven-tier royal coronation cake crowned with candied gem-fruit, a grieving baker’s Nostalza herb bread, and spiced mulled wine with grilled sausage in the rain-soaked city of bards.
As usual, every kitchen has a problem only a sword master can solve.
A monstrous Great Shark Lord and his fifty sharks are bearing down on the merfolk city, and the chief’s niece, who never inherited her mother’s magic, insists on fighting anyway. The bridge orcs don’t want his gold. They want a duel with their axe-swinging leader. A Fairy Mother’s cooking is so perfect that nobody ever comes back for more. A palace pâtisserie’s head baker has vanished, and her trail leads up a bandit-held mountain. And in the city of bards, a late-night break-in at the dean’s office turns up a love letter written in a Demon’s hand. Before he can enjoy a single bite, Flynn has to set things right, all while insisting he’s ‘just a retiree.’ Meanwhile, the merfolk priests would very much like his underpants for their temple, as a holy relic.
Along the way, his circle of unforgettable women keeps growing: an emerald-skinned merwoman with coral-pink hair who carries the weight of her people’s hopes, a towering orc scout who greets him with a battleaxe, a centuries-old Fairy Mother who cooks with real magic, a freckled red-haired baker searching for the taste of her mother’s bread, and a mischievous blonde bard who loves breaking rules almost as much as she loves poetry.
Then the trail of secret letters leads to the most respected man in the College of Bards, and to something Flynn hoped never to see again. The Goddess warned him the Demons were stirring. She was right.
Packed with mouthwatering food, overpowered sword skills, warm humor, and a lighthearted harem romance, this cozy culinary isekai journey through the golden West is perfect for fans of isekai, cozy fantasy, monster girl romance with mermaids, orcs and fairies, and heroes who finally get to savor life.
