Not The Hero: Archmage in Seclusion [A Cozy Fantasy]

Being immortal taught Ella many things, but cookies, at least, never ask her to save the world. Archmage Ella is over a thousand years old and very tired of big problems. She lives quietly in her tower: baking cookies, tending small spells, and enjoying the days as they come. But her peace often interrupted; by travelers, merchants, and the occasional magical issue no one else wants to touch. One such interruption involves a long-forgotten demon, imprisoned centuries ago more out of convenience than justice. Ella handles the work calmly, as she always has. Along the way, she begins teaching mages rejected by the academies. Because in her tower, mistakes are allowed, and learning takes time. As attention slowly drifts her way, Ella must deal with watchful institutions while trying to protect the quiet life she’s built.
