You were once the most threatening being who ever lived, but due a horrible accident, those memories have vanished. Today, you were almost electrocuted, and suddenly, they came back. | Life is great. Actually it's better than I expected it be after the accident. When I woke up that day after the accident, I lost everything that made me, 'me'. But it all worked out in the end. I have a very loving wife, a great circle of friends and neighbours, which is way better than I had ever hoped.

[WP] You live in a small farming village where people live their worryless lives. Little do the villagers know, countless armies have tried to invade it, but all invasion attempts have failed because of one deciding factor. You, the retired demon lord is living in that village. | Syld village as an idyllic and carefree place. The people weren't plagued by the evils of the world, like demons, wars, and tax collectors.
