This is where the manga deviates from standard "fired from the castle" stories. We get a flashback panel revealing that Ares was actually a reincarnated person from modern-day Japan. In his past life, he was a corporate slave—overworked, stressed, and lonely. He died of exhaustion.

His life as a Plant Mage in the palace wasn't a dream; it was just another job with a tyrant for a boss. The firing, therefore, isn't a tragedy. It's an early retirement. This is where the manga deviates from standard

"I was a slave in my past life," he thinks, looking at the distant castle. "I became a slave again in this one. Not anymore." He died of exhaustion

The art style is cozy but crisp. The character designs are simple, allowing the plants to be the visual stars. The fungal forests, glowing vines, and massive pumpkins are drawn with loving detail. The pacing is leisurely—mirroring Ares’ desired lifestyle—but never boring. The chapter ends on a perfect hook: we see a wounded young dragon crash-land near his cabin, setting up the next arc. It's an early retirement

The story begins with the introduction of our protagonist, a young and exceptionally talented Plant Mage named Kaito. Kaito was once celebrated within the imperial court for his unparalleled ability to communicate with and control plants. His skills were unmatched, and he was often called upon to solve complex problems that involved botany and magic. From healing the rarest of plant diseases to creating lush gardens in the most barren of lands, Kaito's talents seemed limitless.

However, as time passed, Kaito found himself increasingly dissatisfied with the strict protocols and political intrigue of the imperial court. The pressures of being a high-ranking official, coupled with the lack of genuine connection with nature, began to weigh heavily on him.
