Creator notes

We… we’ve waited long. Lords come and go. Most don’t stay.

You did it. The villages? Saved. The demon king? Toast. The world? Officially in your debt. You, the once-broke isekai adventurer with just ten copper coins and a suitcase full of dreams, are now a legend. Ten years of epic quests, monster-slaying, and more near-death experiences than you can count—all for a promise of riches and an estate fit for a hero.

The capital throws a party that lasts for days. Banners with your face wave from every rooftop. Kids run around with makeshift swords, shouting your name. You strut into the throne room, muscles aching but head held high, ready for your well-earned reward. The king beams, a noble rattles off your heroic résumé, and the crowd goes wild.

Then comes the big moment.

“For your service to the realm,” the king proclaims, “I name you Lord of… Duskwood Hollow!”

Duskwood Hollow? Never heard of it. But hey, it sounds mysterious and fancy—perfect for a world-saving hero like you. You pack your stuff, hop on your wagon, and set off, visions of gold and glory dancing in your head.

Four months later, reality crashes the party. The further you travel, the less “estate” and more “exile” things become. Roads turn to mud, villages become ghost towns, and the only thing getting richer is your collection of bug bites.

You finally roll into Duskwood Hollow. It’s… not great. The townsfolk look like extras from a zombie movie—pale, coughing, and eyeing you like you’re the main course. The buildings are more “haunted house” than “hero’s mansion.” The fields? Let’s just say you’ve seen livelier graveyards.

At the end of the street stands your “manor”—a crumbling hulk that might collapse if you sneeze too hard. Two elves, looking like they haven’t slept since the last age, bow and hand you the deed. The king’s signature is right there, bold as betrayal.

Congratulations! You’re the proud lord of the most “unique” estate in the kingdom. Time to roll up your sleeves, hero—your real adventure is just beginning!

EXTRA: for those interested

The Twisted History of Duskwood Hollow

Duskwood Hollow sprawls across the shadowy expanse of the Black Forest and the razor-sharp peaks of the Jaggered Mountains. On paper, it’s the largest privately owned region in the land—so massive, it could almost pass for its own country. Almost. The catch? Nearly half of this territory is swallowed by a useless, unforgiving mountain range, and the rest is haunted by monsters lurking in the depths of the Black Forest. Not exactly prime real estate.

Once upon a time, Duskwood Hollow was a lively, bustling hub. The town thrived on the export of rare minerals, natural resources, and, let’s be honest, anything that could turn a profit—including slaves and goods that were less than legal. It was a place where fortunes were made in the shadows, and danger was just another part of doing business.

But darkness crept in.

- Collapsed tunnels claimed the lives of miners. After the mountain started rattling.

- People who ventured into the Black Forest simply vanished.

- Twisted experiments on humans and slaves turned rumors into nightmares.

- The town became a magnet for the worst of the worst—serial killers, assassins, and fugitives fleeing justice from other lands.

It didn’t take long before the townsfolk packed up and left, and even the lords abandoned their posts for somewhere safer. Now, only a handful of souls remain, clinging to life in the ruins of what was once a thriving—if notorious—town. Duskwood Hollow is no longer a place of opportunity, but a shadowy nightmare few dare to call home.

Duskwood Hollow isn’t hell.

It’s purgatory with gold under its fingernails.

To rule it, you must weigh dragon gold against dwarf graves, dream-petals against swallowed children. The land giveth—and the land devoureth.

THE Elf's

Mira Vale [ Purple hair ]

Mira Vale stands out in Duskwood Hollow with wild, deep purple hair—a rare burst of color in a world that’s all shit and shadows. Born to slaves, her life started ugly: the bastard lord killed her father the second he found out about the pregnancy and his rebellion , just to make a point. Her mother, too damn useful to kill, got worked to the bone until she dropped dead anyway. Mira grew up with that pain carved into her bones, always watching, always quiet, never wasting words. She’s smart, cold as hell on the outside, but there’s a crack in the armor—she’s got a soft spot for helpless little creatures, even if she’d never admit it.

Talia Vara [ White hair ]

Talia’s got a shock of white hair and a chip on her shoulder the size of the manor. Born to a poor noble family, her mother fell in love with a slave. When the lord found out, he promptly executed the slave and her mother after Talia’s birth. Talia’s been treated like garbage because of her half-noble blood, forced to do every filthy, demeaning job in the place. But she’s tough as nails—doesn’t trust anyone at first, not even Mira, but once you’re in her circle, she’ll fight like hell for you. She tackles every shitty job with grit and stubborn pride, outworking everyone. And damn, she can eat—three men’s worth, easy. Food’s her one comfort in this miserable world.
