After defeating the dark forces twenty years ago, legendary mage Eden Thorne—the Oracle Mentor—has lived in hiding as a peasant, raising a son, Garrett, who rose to become Knight Paramount without ever knowing his father's true power. Now, with the Dark Lord's return threatening the kingdom of Vern, Eden quietly dispatches a demon sent ahead of the invading army, then heads to the capital. But when he arrives in Aruwith, guards mock him and refuse him entry. At the royal harvest banquet, nobles mistake him for a beggar and demand his removal, leaving Garrett embarrassed and increasingly uncertain about the father he thought he knew.
My Dad is the Supreme Archmage opens on a deliberate contradiction. Eden Thorne, the legendary Oracle Mentor and most powerful mage in history, chose to walk away from it all. After sealing away the Dark Lord twenty years ago, he could have claimed any throne. Instead, he disappeared into a peasant's life, raising a son, Garrett, who grew up to become Knight Paramount through sheer effort—completely unaware of his father's true power.
The story gains momentum when the Dark Lord resurfaces, forcing Eden out of retirement. He dispatches a shadow demon with casual ease, leaving his three disciples a humorous note telling them to "work harder," before heading to the capital, Aruwith. Yet the man who once saved the world can't catch a break. At the city gates, he's mocked by guards and a pompous mage named Barry. When he finally arrives at the royal banquet—the very place he's needed—the nobles, including the haughty Miss Dewey and Count Whitster, see only a beggar and demand his removal. His own son, Garrett, embarrassed and worried, tries to usher him away.
This isn't just a story about a hero hiding in plain sight. It's a sharp observation of how power blinds, mistaking humility for worthlessness. The tension builds on these small humiliations at the banquet, contrasted with the quiet, absolute power Eden holds. The final question, planted when even his son begins to doubt him, is simple: how long can the kingdom's savior be treated like a fool before he proves them all wrong?
