The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode summons hundreds of heroes from other worlds every year to fight in their war against the Dark One and his army of powerful demons. Banaza is one of those heroes, summoned from the Royal Capital Paluma, but something’s not right—Banaza is only an average merchant. He has no magic, no fighting ability, and his stats are abysmal. Worse, a mishap leaves him unable to return home! Rejected as a hero and stranded in another world, abandoned to the far reaches of the kingdom by a cruel king who just wants him gone, Banaza’s fate looks pretty bleak. But what will happen once the failed hero candidate finds himself with super cheat powers once he hits level two?

The war between the Dark Army and the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode grinds to a stalemate, and both sides look to Flio—the enigmatic adventurer from another world—for salvation. Flio, however, just wants peace and a quiet life with his wife! Can Flio’s companions bring a stop to all the fighting? Why won’t these armies just chill? And wait, who is this mysterious masked man?!

Located in downtown Houghtow, the Fli-o’-Rys General Store is a neighborhood one-stop shop selling fresh fruits and vegetables, horse monsters for rent, and magic items the likes of which few have ever seen. But hold on, where are they getting dragonscale? Is that an ancient djinn and the Grand Magus of Midnight behind the counter? But there are even stranger mysteries: Did you know that the former Dark One himself abdicated to work at this shop? That the former spy corps of the Dark Army are working as its suppliers? Well, the proprietor is from another world, after all.

As the war carries on, Flio has finally achieved his dream of opening a shop, but he is far from finished. Somehow, he will end the ancient war between humanity and demonkind, thus creating a world where he and his demon wife Rys can live together in peace and raise a family.

The flag of rebellion has been raised! Dissatisfied with the boorish and short-tempered Dark One Yuigarde, the devil Zanzibar has risen up against the Dark Army, vying for rulership of demonkind. But it turns out Yuigarde is a lot tougher than anyone anticipated. Hard-pressed and desperate, Zanzibar makes a deal with a powerful dark entity: the Mistress of Evil!

Meanwhile, our heroes Flio and Rys prepare themselves for the greatest trial of all: parenthood. Will Flio’s cheat powers be enough? Who will stop Zanzibar’s new allies from conquering the world? And how fast do half-lupine babies grow up, anyway?!

The twins Elinàsze and Garyl are growing up fast. Thanks to their mother Rys’s demonic blood accelerating their growth, they’re ready to start school at less than a year old. And since all signs point to them inheriting their father Flio’s omnipotent power, they’re proving to be quite a handful! Business at the Fli-o’-Rys General Store is also booming...

Meanwhile, the Dark One Yuigarde has pressed his victory too far and pursued the rebel devil Zanzibar into the desert on a fool’s errand. The bulk of the Dark Army is occupied with his mad chase, while back at the Dark Citadel, the Infernal Four are still waiting for any word. With the demons fighting among themselves, the war between humans and demons has ground to a halt. Flio’s dream of a peaceful world has never been closer at hand.

Is this the end of the Dark Army? Can old wounds be healed so easily? What will become of Zanzibar and Yuigarde? And can Flio achieve work-life balance? Either way, the future looks chill.

Peace has come to Klyrode! After centuries of fighting, the Dark Army and the Magical Kingdom have signed a treaty and laid down their arms. Now the whole world is enjoying its newfound peace, thanks to the wisdom of the Dark Regent Calsi’im and the strength of the Wolf of Justice—the masked hero persona of Flio, the easygoing proprietor of the Fli-o’-Rys General Store with nigh omnipotent power.

But peace has brought no rest to the Wolf of Justice himself! Work has never been busier, and the children are growing up at lightning pace. Even worse, the gods of the Celestial Plane have taken notice of Flio’s magic! What will happen if they judge him to be a threat to all worlds in the Median Plane? What does peace between humans and demons mean? And how can the new Dark Army balance their books if their erstwhile vassals won’t pay tribute?!

One day, after a busy afternoon of preventing the extra-dimensional Calamity Wyrm from destroying the world of Klyrode in its entirety, the nigh-omnipotent merchant Flio arrives home to find his housemates Balirossa, Uliminas, and Byleri bedridden with a mysterious affliction. Could it be an infectious disease? Did they eat something that disagreed with their stomachs? Or perhaps there’s another explanation for the three women’s sudden nausea and lembon cravings. Looks like Flio’s household is due for a handful of new members soon!

Once upon a time, Flio’s house was nothing more than a humble home in the woods for himself and his wife, Rys, but now it has grown to a veritable mansion that hosts a thriving community of demons and humans alike. Flio’s house is far from the only thing everyone’s favorite omnipotent merchant from another world has transformed, however. The realm of Klyrode itself has gone from a land of strife to a chill place where ancient foes live and work side by side. Even the angels of the Celestial Plane are taking notice of Flio’s exploits, namely a marvelous potion that women everywhere swear makes your skin smoother...Can Flio find the ingredients to make more of the coveted serum, now that he’s used up his wyrm blood stash? Moreover, how will Dawkson adjust to the trials of leadership? And how is the Shadow King still causing trouble somehow?!

Klyrode is at peace, but the work never ends at the Fli-o’-Rys General Store! The miraculous panacea Flio created has only gotten more and more popular with the goddesses of the Celestial Plane—not for its healing power, but as a cosmetic item for its skin de-aging properties! With actual deities stalking him and trying to cut in line for the limited supply of the medicine, what’s a nigh-omnipotent shopkeeper to do?

Meanwhile, as the household grows bigger still, Rys becomes obsessed with making clothes for all the new children and falls in love with an exotic cloth from the faraway land of Indol, rumored to be in the midst of a growing conflict. Will Rys be able to get more of the cloth she needs? And what are they going to do with all these ridiculous goddesses?! Perhaps it’s time for a certain someone to show them what being a goddess is all about...

Klyrode may be at peace, but our heroes’ lives are as busy as ever! Flio, in his ambition to revolutionize the world’s travel infrastructure, has successfully recreated a lost advanced technology, the sky-faring Enchanted Frigate. Now anywhere from Indol to the Calgosi Coast is just a quick flight away! And just in time too—rumor has it a new Beast of Calamity has been spotted in Countess Junia Van Biel’s territory to the south. Worse yet, demons have once again been going missing.

Can Hero Gold-Hair save the day and help out his sworn brother-in-arms, the Dark One Dawkson? Will the Celestial Plane make an exception to their laws about spreading advanced technology to their subordinate worlds? And when will the Maiden Queen’s interminable parade of suitors learn to take a hint?

The children of Flio’s house have been growing up fast—in fact, their growth has been rapidly accelerated thanks to the mixture of human and demon blood running through their veins! Flio’s son Garyl especially is quickly becoming a fine young man determined to prove himself a worthy protector of his secret love, the Maiden Queen of Klyrode herself. So when Garyl receives an invitation for a sword-fighting tournament in the far-off Hi Izuru, the Land of the Rising Sun, how could he turn down a chance to attend? And with Flio himself hoping to add the Land of the Rising Sun to the growing network of flight routes visited by his fleet of Enchanted Frigates, the event sounds like the perfect occasion for a family vacation! What adventures await the family in this distant land? Who’s this villain that’s been paying their workers in worthless counterfeit coins? And did Flio really just warp an entire mountain next to Blossom’s farm?!

The ancient war between humans and demons is over thanks to Flio, the unassuming and omnipotent shopkeeper from another world, but peace hasn’t been an easy change for everyone. The end of hostilities between the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode and the Dark Army has left countless demons and magic beasts adrift, roaming the wilderness or selling their combat skills to unscrupulous villains. At least the Fli-o’-Rys General Store is always hiring! And with Flio’s newest invention, a gem that nullifies the toxic malicium lesser demons emit, true coexistence between humans and demons may yet be possible...

Meanwhile, is Flio’s son Garyl ready for higher education? Does the Maiden Queen have a rival in love? And did Hero Gold-Hair remember to pick up his companion Wuha Gappoli after forgetting her in an inn during his adventure in the last book?

The Fli-o’-Rys General Store is as busy as ever, and with the oni Ura and his mountaintop village now comfortably settled into life in the land outside Flio’s growing estate, the next order of business is fashion! With Rys’s obsession of creating new and exquisite outfits only growing stronger and the ever-canny Uliminas turning her keen eye for “purrofit” towards the fashion trends of capital, it’s shaping up to be quite a season in the provincial trade city of Houghtow... All the more so with the Shadow King and his band of ne’er-do-wells in the mix, who are down on their luck thanks to their continuing string of failures and desperate for any way to make a quick buck. Who will be the one to set the newest trends in the world of fashion? Can the princesses of Klyrode help their sister the Queen overcome her terminal awkwardness around love? And what lies next for Flio’s daughter Elinàsze, now that she’s long since advanced beyond the Houghtow College of Magic curriculum?

The Maiden Queen of the Magic Kingdom of Klyrode reigns as a benevolent monarch during an age of peace, beloved by her people and acclaimed throughout the lands for her many achievements. Her Majesty, however, has a serious problem—one she shares with her strongest ally, the nigh-omnipotent merchant Flio of the Fli-o’-Rys General Store: a serious case of compulsive overwork! Flio’s wife, Rys, and the Queen’s sisters have all had enough of their respective loved ones burning the midnight oil with no end in sight. And so they come together for a common cause—Flio’s family and the Maiden Queen will go on vacation...together!

Years have passed since Flio was summoned to the world of Klyrode, and quite a bit has changed since he first arrived. Over time, his house has grown from a small cottage where he lived alone with his wife Rys into a bustling community, complete with farmland and a mountain village. The Fli-o’-Rys General Store is now a mercantile giant, responsible for vital parts of the world’s infrastructure and economy. And his older children, Garyl and Elinàsze, have finally graduated from the Houghtow College of Magic, while the younger children in the house have just started attending school themselves.

Their busy daily lives are interrupted, however, by a sudden increase in Beast of Disaster attacks that has the Celestial Plane itself reaching out for aid. What became of the legendary nine-headed Hydrana? Has Wyne met her match in another dragonewt? Will Garyl’s flock of admirers ever take a hint? And how worried should we be about Elinàsze’s worsening daddy complex?

An emergency has struck the world of Klyrode. Due to an incident involving a certain golden-haired individual and his legendary shovel, the magic barrier around the sky has been critically damaged! After the efforts of the drunkard ex-goddess, Telbyress, only make the situation worse, the authorities of the Celestial Plane turn to the only person on the world whose magic could possibly fix the firmament itself—Flio, the nigh-omnipotent merchant from another world. But does anyone at the Fli-o’-Rys General Store have the mathematical chops to keep the books in order while the boss is away? Will Elinàsze be able to keep her unsanctioned trips to the Celestial Plane itself a secret from the angel Zofina? And what will she and Flio find in the enigmatic Castle Celestia?

The damage to the sky above the world of Klyrode has been repaired, but the series of freak accidents that left three separate holes in the firmament has had lasting effects. Strange phenomena have been observed all over the surface. Even the defenders of the Calgosi Coast have found themselves at their wits’ end dealing with unfamiliar magic beasts hailing from other regions. Between interminable business meetings and requests for aid from far-flung corners of the map, Flio and the rest of the household have never been busier.

What’s more, the children of the house are proving simply too powerful for the Houghtow College of Magic to contain, adding a ruined arena to the list of problems Flio must attend to. Fortunately, the omnipotent merchant has everything well in hand, with an ingenious solution to every difficulty. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase his newest invention for practical combat training—the water gun!

Flio’s life in the magical world of Klyrode is as chill as it’s ever been. Business is booming, his children are growing up happy, and he still has the time to enjoy the occasional early morning date with his lupine demon wife Rys, hunting magic beasts in the nearby wilderness. But while Klyrode itself may be enjoying a rare period of peace, the goddesses of the Celestial Plane have other things on their minds. An angel and a goddess have deserted the Celestial Plane, and at least one of them seems genuinely determined to start a new life. Worse, a beast of unparalleled strength has appeared in the Underground World Dogorogma, wreaking havoc on the prison the goddesses use to house the most dangerous creatures in the cosmos! Can any magic beast stand up to the combined strength of Flio’s household? Will Zofina the Elder convince her sister to return to the Celestial Plane? And will Elinàsze find a way around the goddesses’ scrutiny to finally create an adequate laboratory space?

Flio’s back from the eastern island nation of Hi Izuru, and life in the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode is as chill as ever! There’s his daughter Elinàsze’s burgeoning magical workshop, personnel exchanges between the demonic Dark Army and the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode, and the new Hi Izuran staff settling into their roles at the Fli-o’-Rys General Store. But that isn’t all that’s in store for our humble yet nigh-omnipotent merchant. Flio has long resisted being given a noble title, but with all his contributions to the kingdom—from vanquishing magic beasts to negotiating trade agreements with neighboring territories, not to mention personally inventing many of the conveniences that define life in the new peaceful Klyrode—perhaps the time has come...
