There was a Hero

All Ell wants is for a warrior to come along and kill him so he can finally achieve a comfortable life after death.

Just when it looks like he might get his wish,

he accidentally kills the warrior who came to end his life.

But Ell soon comes up with a different plan: if there are no warriors to kill him,

he can raise one himself! So Ell the dragon, Lafi the magician,

and Dino the baby warrior become an unconventional family.

However, Ell soon discovers it’s harder than he thought to teach a baby combat moves!
“You want me to become the hero’s experience points and loot?

With pleasure!!!”
A hero who bravely ventures forth to defeat evil,

and a monster (named El) whose sole life goal is to be killed by said hero… is finally confronted by the hero’s party after dreaming about a comfortable afterlife for so long!
But… the hero is way too weak! Everyone except one was wiped out by El’s attack. When his dreams of happily retiring in the afterlife are about to be shattered,

Laphie from the hero’s party says out of desperation: “I’m with child!!!”
So El comes to a realization spurred by Laphie’s statement:

“if the hero who was supposed to kill me isn’t here… then I’ll raise one myself!”
Now, with El (the Lieutenant-General of the demon army who knows nothing about raising a child),

Laphie (the inexperienced mother), and Dino (the cutest baby hero),

their “ordinary,” child-raising fantasy story unfolds!
Here comes the world’s most unpredictable family!
