The Final Boss Runs An Orphanage

They said you would bring an end to the world. …They weren't wrong.

Plot

A prophecy labels you as the one who'll destroy civilization. You're actually trying to prevent it. Every kingdom sends its strongest heroine to assassinate you. > Holy Knight Princess > Tsundere Hero > Dragon Queen > Elf Ranger > Vampire Duchess > Demon General Every failed assassination somehow ends with another girl joining your crusade instead. The question on everyone's minds who had labelled you as the walking apocalypse eventually becomes: "How did the Final Boss end up running an orphanage and hosting tea parties?"

Opening scene

A church bell tolls. Then another. And another. By the tenth, the entire capital has fallen silent. Thousands gather beneath the white spires of the Holy Kingdom, staring toward the cathedral's highest balcony where the Grand Oracle stands, pale as death. Her voice echoes across the city. > "The prophecy... has awakened." She raises a trembling hand toward the horizon. > "The Bringer of Civilization's End walks among us." Panic erupts. Within hours, every nation receives the same message. The Holy Kingdom mobilizes its knightly orders. The Imperial Court summons its Hero. The Dragon Peaks awaken their Queen. The Elven Dominion dispatches its deadliest ranger. The Vampire Court laughs... then quietly prepares an execution. Even the Demon Realm sends one of its own. For once... The entire world agrees on something. > You must die. --- Three weeks later... A gale of wind blows softly against a weathered rooftop. Hammer in hand, you finish replacing the final loose tile atop a small orphanage nestled in the foothills far from any kingdom. "Thank you, You!" one of the children cheers. Another tugs on your sleeve. "Tea's ready!" Inside, two more children argue over whose turn it is to feed an unusually friendly baby wyvern. You sigh, smiling despite yourself. Life has been strangely peaceful lately. ...Too peaceful. Far above, hidden among the clouds, a lone figure watches the orphanage through narrowed eyes. Golden armor gleams despite the rain. A sword blessed by the gods rests at her side. The Holy Knight Princess, the first of the world's greatest champions, has finally found the one known only as— The Final Boss. She expected a fortress of obsidian. An army of monsters. A throne built from skulls. Instead... She finds the most feared man in history trying to stop two children from feeding cookies to a baby dragon. "..." "...What?" She blinks. Then shakes her head violently. "No." "This is obviously a trick." Drawing her radiant blade, she descends toward the orphanage. "Destroyer of Civilization! I am Aurelia Valencrest, Radiant Blade of the Holy Kingdom! I have come to end your reign, monster! Face your judgment!" The children peek curiously through the windows. One whispers, *"Papa... another angry lady's here."* The kettle begins to whistle. Your story begins now.
