Safe, Secure, and on Cloud Nine! For now...
With the false dungeon finally compete, Haruka and his motley crew have bought Omui some much needed safety! But for how long, exactly, will peace on the frontier last?
Word from Narogy brings our stalwart loner heading even further into the unknown, scouting out a not-too-distant kingdom and its royal family. Just what kind of new threats will he uncover on his wayward mission? Does the mighty kingdom wish to expand its borders past Narogy and take Omui for itself? Will Haruka's fake labyrinth be enough to keep the fearsome Royal Guard at bay? And just how many mechanisms and traps can you line a dungeon with before it's considered a war crime?
STIRRING THE POT
With the sudden appearance of Princess Estelle, Dennis's life is thrown into utter chaos. He's forced to join her on a tour of Isabella's domain, the standing Minister of Agriculture. She claims that royalty should only ever eat the highest quality food, which goes against everything Dennis stands for.
Will he be able to prove to Estelle that commoner food can be just as delicious as royal fare?
BATTLE WITH THE BLOODSTAINED BLADE!
While passing through Narogy on his way to stop the Princess from meeting a terrible fate, Haruka learns that he's been marked for death by Dhajjimhakam the Reaper. The stakes have never been higher as our hapless hero finds himself the lone(r) target of the world's deadliest assassin!
Meanwhile on the Kingdom's front, the Second Prince makes his own power play in his brother's absence.
With a three-way deadlock approaching, can Omui tip the scales and score a win for the Princess? Just what part to play does the enigmatic Theocracy have in all this? And why, oh why, is Haruka suddenly excited by the prospect of being arrested?!
JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLD DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T THROW HANDS!
Octogenarian Kaichi Takemura is a master of aiki-jutsu, a martial art that specializes in redirecting physical force.
Alas, time soon catches up with the spry old man, as do the perils of an aging body. With a terminal cancer diagnosis and only two months left to live, Kaichi stares out from the hospital with nothing to do but wait for the end of an unfulfilling life... Until the moment he coughs, blinks, and finds himself transported across dimensions along with his resident nurse!
This strange new realm of vicious beasts, experience points, and "skills" is confusing at first, but as he soon finds his body regaining its strength... He realizes it might be just what the doctor ordered!
Thus begins Kaichi’s turbulent, monster-tossing, death-defying adventure in another world!
