The Greatest Archmage To Have Ever Lived [OP MC, LitRPG]

Sael the Great, the legendary Archmage who helped defeat the Corrupted One and usher in an era of peace, has spent centuries in self-imposed exile. The world believes him dead, his name reduced to myth—until Ilsa, a descendant of his oldest companion, arrives at his floating sanctuary with dire news. Villages in the West are vanishing, consumed by an inexplicable darkness that mirrors the horrors of his past. Reluctantly, Sael descends into a world that no longer remembers him, where his legend has spawned both reverence and fanaticism. As he investigates the encroaching threat, he navigates unfamiliar lands, battles monstrous remnants of forgotten wars, and grapples with the weight of his own legacy. Along the way, he might even rediscover purpose—if he can outrun the ghosts of his past long enough to confront the new evil rising in the shadows. The greatest Archmage in history still walks the earth, but even his unmatched power may not be enough to stop the world from unraveling again.
