## Title

Mana, Mulch, and Monsters: The Max-Level Hero Retires to Farm

## Author

S. A. Veyne

## Series

Oakhaven Farm Chronicles, Book 1

## One-Line Hook

He saved the world. Now he just wants to grow potatoes. Unfortunately, his stats did not retire with him.

## Recommended Description

Silas Vance saved the world. Then he turned down godhood, reset his level, and bought twelve acres of terrible farmland beside a monster forest.

His new plan is simple: grow potatoes, repair a cabin, drink bad coffee in peace, and avoid becoming anyone's weapon ever again.

The System has other ideas.

Silas may be a level-one Novice Farmer, but it forgot to remove the impossible strength and mana already built into his body. His soil starts producing things that should not be possible. A raccoon with suspiciously good instincts moves under his porch. A rooster takes farm security far too seriously. And the Blackwood keeps sending hungry problems toward his fence.

Oakhaven is not looking for another hero. It needs a neighbor who can grow food, keep promises, and maybe stop a monster without turning the whole village into a battlefield.

Silas still thinks this is normal farming.

It is not.

**What to expect:** cozy LitRPG, overpowered retired hero, farming and base-building, monster ecology, found family, community growth, dry humor, and no harem.
