I Regressed 300 Years to Open a Quiet Inn[Cozy, Regression, Romantasy]

── ✦ ──

Roen Ashveil was the Archmage of the Crimson Tower,
the most powerful mage to ever live.

He spent three centuries fighting wars, burying friends,
shaping kingdoms, and becoming the kind of man history remembers
for all the wrong reasons.

Then he died alone on a bad chair.

The next second, he wakes in his nineteen-year-old body,
in his old house, with all his memories intact
and one very firm decision:

He will absolutely NOT be the hero this time.

He is opening an inn.

Warm bread. Good ale. Quiet evenings.
A life small enough that the world might finally leave him alone.

Unfortunately, Millhaven is not the kind of town
that lets people stay uninvolved for long.

There are debts crushing good families,
fields where the soil has started to die,
and nobles who smile while tightening chains.

People keep finding their way to Roen’s door:
a sharp-tongued merchant woman,
a boy too clever for the life he was born into,
a tired guild captain watching the southern road,
and an inn full of regulars who are starting to feel dangerously like home.

Every spell risks exposure.
Every kindness becomes attachment.
Every person under his roof becomes someone he may have to protect.

And beneath the quiet fields,
something old is beginning to wake.
