Games without lord or that are not prices or princesses of a kingdom or do not serve kingdom

I’m looking for hacks as it says in the title where the protagonist is not the typical lord, prince or princess or mercenaries or heroes that serve a kingdom. Does anyone know one that I recommend, it doesn’t matter if they are old or new.

Closing act is good

Below are the ones that come to mind with a fairly strict application of your request (that is to say, I omitted a few hacks with some mercenary involvement as lord(s)).

(Gentleman) Thief

Bandits

Modern Goober

Pokemon

Vtubers

Idiots

Did you mean mercenaries in general or mercenaries that act on behalf of a kingdom?

To mercenaries or any class as long as you don’t help a kingdom or become a lord and sorry for the late response

Thank you very much friend, I already played the bandit one, the thief one, the isekai one, I left it half abandoned but I will play the rest, thank you very much

I’ve not played all there is so others will surely have some recommendations, but we also have these then where there’s mercenary groups n stuff but they are not themselves representing kingdoms.

My hack’s two protagonists are a wandering knight and Dragon Jesus. I think I fulfill this one.

Just dropping into say that Storge is the one I’d go to first. It’s short enough that you can finish it in a day and it’s got one of the most fun and unique concepts I’ve personally experiences in a rom hack.

I made a game last christmas that is about a mice spirit pretending to be santa for the parents of her home town.
It is a pretty short game but I do think it turned out pretty well.
And it is for sure not the usual fire emblem experience, it also has no permadeath with it being very “all hands on deck” both in the gameplay and in story. If they can’t die or be benched, they can have as much role in the story without it feeling strange.
