Isekai Legendary (Retired) Knight
(2026)(The first book in the Isekai Legendary (Retired) Knight series)
A novel by Benjamin Koo
He saved the world. Now he just wants a good bowl of ramen.
Ten years ago, college freshman Flynn Minet was summoned from Cincinnati to the magical continent of Epicurios. Gifted the legendary Sword Demigod skill, he went from clueless kid to overpowered hero, led the kingdom’s armies, and ended a decade-long war against the Demon Lord.
Now, at twenty-eight, the transported hero is finally retiring.
His plan is simple. Take one dusty guidebook listing the hundred greatest restaurants on the continent, summon his loyal pegasus, and eat his way across a world he fought to protect. No battles. No banquets. No glory. Just a quiet, cozy culinary journey, one signature dish at a time.
The trouble is that every kitchen he visits seems to have a problem only a sword master can solve.
Bandits have stolen the sea-dragon bones for the glowing ramen. A sea serpent is scaring away the fish. Smugglers have taken the sacred koi, and a runaway spell has buried a lakeside town in snow. Before he can take a single bite, Flynn has to set things right, all while trying to stay ‘just an ordinary retiree.’
Along the way, he meets a growing circle of unforgettable women: a determined young ramen chef, a widowed dumpling maker, a reformed assassin, a fierce pirate captain, a gentle mermaid, a brilliant ice mage, a fox-spirit priestess, and more. Each one leaves her mark on his heart.
Packed with mouthwatering food, overpowered sword skills, warm humor, and a lighthearted harem romance, this East Asian-inspired fantasy road trip is perfect for fans of isekai, cozy fantasy, monster girl romance, and stories about a hero finally learning to savor life.
