I Swear I'm Not A Dark Lord!

Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants to do is practice his magic and go fishing. A peaceful, pleasant existence nobody should complain about. As if! His family abandoned him; His new body is cursed; The gods meddle with his life; The local mayor shoves responsibilities at him; A weird kid keeps popping up and challenging him to duels; People keep asking him if he wants to be a dark lord. Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker of a trout hiding away in the river? Join an isekai hero in his not-quiet-enough life. Writeathon Winner, Spring 2025 This is the next life of the MC from Isekai Veteran, but the story stands well on its own. Updates Tuesday and Friday.
