My Retirement Plan is Universal Conquest

saucepan
So, you just finished managing a few multiverses, pruning timelines sharper than a Vorpal blade, and casually unmaking elder gods who got too loud. What's next? Retirement, obviously. Find a quiet, forgotten corner of reality, wipe the cosmic RAM mostly clean, and enjoy some peace. Maybe some tea. Meet Bob. His last job involved stress levels that would make a supernova look like a spa day. Now, he runs a perpetually failing antique shop in Oakhaven, a village located squarely in the armpit of Generic Fantasy World number 734-Gamma (or Aerthos, as the locals ridiculously call it). His goal: Absolute. Freaking. Quiet. THE PROBLEM: Aerthos is a festering boil of fantasy clichés. Hormonal heroes questing for glory (and frequently tripping over Bob's magically misplaced floorboards). Prophecies foretelling greatness (usually involving Bob, much to his disgust). Dungeons popping up like particularly aggressive weeds. And a Dark Lord whose grand ambitions Bob could literally sneeze out of existence, if he could only be bothered. Bob is powerful. Absurdly, reality-bendingly powerful. But using it is WORK. It attracts attention. It interrupts his tea. His 'solutions' often involve reality subtly folding like cheap origami out of sheer annoyance – a boastful knight mysteriously developing hiccups, an invading ogre suddenly finding its club has the structural integrity of wet tissue paper, a goblin horde finding the overpowering scent of compost far more appealing than pillaging. Join Bob as he navigates the treacherous waters of mundane life constantly interrupted by epic stupidity. Read his internal monologue roasting every fantasy trope imaginable. Witness the pinnacle of reluctant power, where universal conquest genuinely seems like a less annoying alternative to dealing with another prophecy, another adventurer, or another badly brewed cup of tea. If you like THESE THINGS: - Overpowered (but OVER IT) MCs - Snark levels exceeding critical mass - Ruthless dissection of fantasy/Isekai tropes - Comedy born from cosmic annoyance vs. mundane problems - Characters who just want everyone to LEAVE THEM ALONE Then pull up a wobbly stool (mind the dust) and watch Bob fail spectacularly at retiring.

Douluo Dali: Unrivalled Tang Sect: With Sharingan

What? Tang San’s entire family were evil soul masters? The Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago just so Tang San could turn the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard? Impossible—absolutely impossible! If Tang San’s father wasn’t an evil soul master, then how did he manage to defeat three Super Douluos by himself ten thousand years ago? If Tang San and his allies weren’t evil soul masters, how did they cultivate at a rate that far exceeded ordinary people? Their absurd soul ring ratios and secret methods of soul ring enhancement—aren’t those techniques exclusive to the Holy Spirit Church? Back then, the Spirit Hall reached into every corner of the continent to awaken spirits. They clearly knew who was an evil soul master and could eliminate them on the spot. Yet now, evil soul masters lurk everywhere. How do you explain that? And what about the factions that once supported Tang San? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, once a peak force, has fallen to second-rate. The Poison Douluo’s clan? Its entire inheritance has vanished. Even the Holy Soul Village—where the Sea God Tang San first awakened his martial spirit—has become nothing but a forgotten relic. Shouldn’t it have become a sacred site? Why did it fade into obscurity? Not to mention the Holy Angel lineage—there hasn’t been a single Titled Douluo from that bloodline in tens of thousands of years. Why? And then there’s Tang San’s so-called “Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits.” Aside from sounding impressive, are any of them actually true? Weapon-type spirits supposedly couldn’t absorb beast spirit rings—but before those theories, did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect get their rings by dismantling towers? Did the Clear Sky Sect gather rings by smashing hammers? No… Something’s deeply wrong here.
