After a grueling life in another world, starting from nothing, Shen Yuan leaves the monster-infested land of seals and enters the peaceful, beautiful human world.
The human world is safe and harmonious, and everyone is in great mental shape. The occasional monster that slips in from the land of seals is quickly dealt with by the Hunters' Association.
Shen Yuan is very pleased. He opens a pet shop and begins his leisurely retirement.
In the first month, his phone fills with messages every day.
[My lord, all is well in the land of seals today. The worthless fools who came looking for death have been used to fill the rose garden outside your palace. My lord, when will you return?]
[Oh, my master! A single day without seeing you makes it impossible to suppress my craving for blood and pain! Master, when will you return?]
[Boss, all those human players have disappeared. This is so boring! So boring, so boring, so boring! Boss, when will you return?]
But Shen Yuan has just bought a new SIM card, and his phone can't use two SIM cards at once, so he never sees any of those messages.
The second month, the third month...
The barrage of messages stops.
But the Hunters' Association issues seven top-priority wanted notices in quick succession, declaring that the notorious Seven Apostles have entered the human world. The legendary Lord of Monsters is about to descend, bringing endless darkness and terror to the world.
-
"Many years ago, the entire human world was plunged into a terrifying game where failing to clear it meant death. It was filled with endless monsters. The seven highest-ranked monsters were known as the Seven Apostles, and the one they all served..."
"Its gaze can shatter the mind, its voice can annihilate the soul, and its very existence is terror itself."
"It is the Lord of Monsters."
Sitting in his pet shop and listening to the Hunters' Association's safety announcement, Shen Yuan nods along. He gently strokes the head of the dog at his feet, ranked third, takes the milk tea offered by the one ranked second, and looks through the shop window at the pet area.
There, the one ranked first is dozing.
Meanwhile, ranks four through seven are unleashing a bloody storm in the human world.

One day, Shen Yuan finally remembers his other phone number.
He opens the latest message in his inbox.
[My lord, why have you not returned yet?]
[Do you intend to conquer this world?]
[We shall uphold your will and conquer the human world, then offer it to you intact!]
Shen Yuan: "..."
No, thank you. He doesn't want it.
What Lord of Monsters? Keep me out of it!
A leisurely retirement and conquering the world don't go together at all. He really doesn't want to rule the world again!
