The battle is over. The paperwork survived.

The Dark Lord has been defeated. The Hero waved to the crowd, accepted the songs, and left before anyone could ask who would rebuild the roads.

Congratulations: you are now the Interim Municipal Prefect.

《After the Hero》 is a political management satire about the part fantasy epics usually skip. The realm has been saved, but the province is still full of refugees, burned granaries, unemployed orc veterans, cursed fields, nervous priests, angry guilds, and nobles who believe liberation should include compensation for damaged hedge mazes.
