Jon, a retired knight in his fifties, lives a happy life, running a bar in a peaceful village with his wife, until one day the village is slaughtered by the Dark Lord. He escapes, losing his wife and leg and promising revenge. Fangs, the half-wolf mage helping him escape, tells him of a prophecy, a man destined to save the world from the Dark Lord, and that he, Jon, was chosen to mentor the chosen one.
