      TBAGM Vol. 1 Chapter 2 Part 4 Cover
      by nellstewart When we reached our destination, we couldn’t help but gasp at the building’s dignified presence. “It really is huge.” “It is. Thinking about it now… I used to work here, didn’t I?” This was the One-Eyed Workshop; one of the largest blacksmith guilds in the country. Maybe it was the intricate carvings on the outer walls, or the variety of metals and gems embedded throughout the design, but the building exuded an overwhelming sense of grandeur. “Lord Lloyd! Should I go speak…

      by nellstewart The morning after the “Adventurer’s Association Wall Destruction Incident.” “…Mm. Morning already?” Sunlight streamed in through the window, nudging me toward consciousness. It was supposed to be the sun’s warmth that woke me. Instead, it was the strange sensation of touching something unfamiliar that roused me from sleep. “Huh? What is this…” Still groggy, I reached out and grabbed the mystery object. Softer than a blanket. Like marshmallows. I rubbed my eyes and…

      by nellstewart   Chapter 23 - Everything to Shreds   A loud, booming sound struck like thunder. That very instant — it felt just like the air itself ground and rattled. Fierce gusts of wind blew past the trees. The ice covering the ground was peeled off and blown away as a jet black torrent clashed with the ice dragon. A “Hero” that witnessed such a spectacle described it thus: — I felt like I was seeing a recreation of a scene from a myth. He couldn’t be more wrong, however. Because the scene that impressed…

      by nellstewart Chapter 24 - One Step Forward “ — what loyalty.” Cohen Socaccio looked at Feli, rushing to Fay’s side as soon as the battle ended. “Did you fall in love, sir ‘Hero’? Too bad, I’ll never let you take the head maid! Not that she’s mine or anything.” A cracking noise. Ratifah and the others were spectating relatively far from the battlefield, but the ground under their feet was still partially frozen. The extent of the two duelists’ clash of pride was evident. The “Hero” named…

      by nellstewart   Chapter 26 - A Second Life   — what does it mean to be born again? I asked myself that so many times after being reborn as Fay. I thought about it time and again during the dozen years I spent in this world. My memories were intact. My personality was the same too. But I wasn’t “Shizuki” anymore. You only live once. That’s why everyone clenches their teeth, clings to whatever straw they find, and coughs blood to survive. This cruel reality, however, came to me for a second time. I was forced…

      by nellstewart Chapter 21 - No Fear to be Found “Ha, haha...that was just one blow...a bit too early to feel so smug, boy.” Pain from slashing wounds. Shock damage on the back. A pressure difficult to put into words. Grimnaught had to be suffering from various kinds of damage, but still showed no signs of stopping, as if none of that mattered to him. The sound of freezing was accompanied by a voice filled with glee. “I cannot use my arms anymore, yes, but I still have my magic. My legs. My body.” I knew that. I…

      by nellstewart   Chapter 22 - This is my Way of Life   “Is that so…!” Grimnaught swung his arms once again. The words he uttered brimmed with all of his emotions. He smiled dauntlessly as he roared his displeasure at my attitude. He didn’t actually put it into words, though: maybe because he didn’t have the luxury, or maybe because he felt he didn’t have the right. Our weapons clashed against each other, metal grinding against metal. The next instant… The muscles in Grimnaught’s arms swelled…

      by nellstewart   Chapter 25 - Trash Prince   “You went to the ruins all on your own and even fought imperial forces to the death? And you captured the imperial ‘Hero’ Cohen ‘Heart Scan’ Socaccio!?” A boyish voice shouted, agitated. It belonged to the boy acting as an escort for merchant Dvorg Tsarrich. He was clearly overwhelmed. “...don’t shout like that, you’ll reopen my wounds. I’ve apologized enough already, haven’t I?” We were in the inn’s cafeteria: I, bandaged everywhere, was enjoying…
