《Retiring as an Incompetent Queen》PROLOGUE: PAWN
Advertisement
Do not expect a tale of Good, for Good does not exist.
Those of righteous beginnings, shall your will remain unbending?
Do not expect praise of Evil, for Evil cannot resist.
Those of treacherous beginnings, will you face a beautiful ending?
Do not expect anything other than a Story, for expectations,
You must desist.
----
Once upon a time, there was a Queen.
A Queen of a land that contained magic beneath the earth, a land where fantastical creatures used to live and roam.
A Queen of a land established by four Heroes, may they rest in peace.
A Queen who came from another world, far, far beyond the horizon.
The Queen who was not Good, nor Evil, for she thought dwindling on the lines that separated them foolish. Good did not exist, nor did Evil. There were only lines for each individual person, lines that they would not cross.
But the Queen did what she had to do, and she didn't look down on others who did the same.
She hadn't wanted to become a Queen, at first. After being plunged into a world she knew nothing yet everything about, she ran away and tried to escape from her fate. Running, running. Always running, never stopping.
Some like to think fate is inescapable, that it decides our life and the choices we make.
They are half right.
Fate you cannot run away from.
But the path you take is up to you to forge.
The Queen ran away from Fate's clutches, until she ran into two others of her world. A Hero who had stolen his Title, and a Creator who wielded his Brush like a sword.
They laughed together, they cried together, and they conquered together.
The Queen had never accepted her Fate, nor did she ever believed in it.
In the end, she hadn't changed.
But even in the end, after she returned home, she never forgot.
What it had taken to be a Queen.
----
Do not expect a tale of a hero's birth.
Do not expect the ballad of a villain's voyage.
Do not expect anything other than a Story.
A story of a retired Queen.

The Isekai Police (aka "Earth's Advocates")
When evil kings summon kids from Earth to be used and abused as fast-leveling soldiers in their petty wars, the Isekai Police will be there to stop them. A group of ex-isekai protagonists in their own right, they utilize their collective skills to fight for the end of summoning abuse. Artyom Choi, cynical ex-hero and founding member of the organization, is sent to investigate the presence of an Earther on an innocently idyllic World where no summoning has supposedly taken place. His mission: rescue the Earther and figure out how he got there. Dark secrets lie beneath the surface of paradise, however. Will he be able to find this new hero and get out before whatever malicious forces brought them there doom them both? Book 1 has been finished! You can read Book 2 here in parallel or even before Book 1 if you want more TOAL than Artyom! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47708/the-isekai-police-hero-summonings-are-overrated This story is meant to be a deconstruction of the isekai genre that references and sometimes pokes fun at various tropes. Artyom isn’t some kid whose goal is to amass Levels or a harem. In fact, all he cares about is protecting other Earthers, and won’t let anything like that get in the way! So expect to see: -A mature main character who still has some flaws. -Character development over the course of the story. -No harems! (see last point) -A vibrant world full of interesting people, deep culture, and mysterious lore that gets uncovered as the story goes on. -Plenty of funny moments along the way! -The presence of a few cliched tropes and stereotypes only for the sake of poking fun at them. So step in, take the first leap, and uncover the next hot take on this expansive genre! My discord here: https://discord.gg/Zc8CHSrxVr
