Ori never wanted fame or fortune—just a quiet life on his small farm. At 32, with no impressive powers or grand destiny, he spends his days growing potatoes and tomatoes, far from the chaos of the adventuring world.
His only ability? Heart of the Wild—a passive, underwhelming trait that causes animals and even monsters to approach him peacefully. It’s not useful in battle, not flashy, and certainly not heroic.
But when strange creatures start appearing more frequently—watching, circling, waiting—Ori begins to suspect there’s more to his ability than anyone ever realized.
He’s not a warrior. He’s not chosen.
But maybe... he's exactly what the wild needs.
Thank you for checking out my novel! This story is a quiet tribute to those who feel out of place in fantasy worlds filled with heroes and destinies. Ori may not be strong or magical, but he’s real—and sometimes, that’s enough. I hope you’ll enjoy this slow-burn journey.
