The Emperor Who Wanted a Quiet Life A Novel by Ciriel Vergara Kaito was an ordinary man who died with one simple wish: “In my next life, I just want to live peacefully.” Reborn in a world of magic, monsters, demons, elves, dragons, and powerful kingdoms, Kaito discovers that he possesses abilities beyond anything the world has ever seen. But Kaito doesn't want to become a hero. He doesn't want to rule a kingdom. And he certainly doesn't want to fight wars. All he wants is a quiet home in the middle of the world's most dangerous forest. So Kaito does the impossible—he builds one. What begins as a small settlement soon becomes a magnificent nation where humans and monsters live together. As Kaito gathers powerful allies, his peaceful little village grows into an empire that even the greatest kingdoms fear. Along the way, he meets five princesses from five different kingdoms. They were never supposed to become his enemies. Instead, they become the women who stand beside him as his five wives—and eventually, his five empresses. For the first time since his reincarnation, Kaito finally has everything he wanted. A home. A family. A peaceful life. Until the government takes away the person who gave him that happiness. His first wife, Elena, is brutally murdered under orders from the old government. Kaito's peaceful smile disappears. The man who once wished for peace now stands before the graves of the dead and makes a single promise: > “I wanted to live quietly. You were the ones who took that away.” The five kingdoms responsible believe they are facing a powerful mage. They are wrong. They are facing the man who will become the Emperor Beyond the Gods. And while Kaito's five wives fight beside him, the world will slowly discover the terrifying truth: The most dangerous man in the world was never trying to conquer it. He was only trying to find a place where he could finally live in peace.
