John Sutton spent a decade as his empire's most destructive battle mage. His reward is a small mountain farm and orders to retire for good, enforced by a broken System that counts Doom Points every time he reaches for his old power. So he grows wheat, tends mana-touched cattle, and tries hard not to save anyone, while a found family slowly builds around him.
