In the Mercantile Free State of Sarenza, lives change hands as freely as coin, and the harsh desert sun beats down on slave and master alike. There, commerce is a cutthroat trade, and merchants are always on the lookout for another easy target. As far as Noor is concerned, it sounds like the perfect travel destination! So how can he say no when a chance to venture there falls into his lap? Bandits, hidden agendas, legendary monsters... What’s all that compared to the sight of the ocean and the greatest markets in the world?

The Kingdom of Clays faces a dire crisis: an assassination attempt has just been made on its own Princess Lynneburg, and its neighboring countries eye the aftermath like starving vultures, plotting the Kingdom’s downfall. The ensuing conflict will shape the face of the continent for centuries to come...but Noor doesn’t have a clue about any of that! Having freshly arrived at the royal capital after over a decade of rigorous, isolated training at his mountain home, he’s dead set on achieving his childhood dream of becoming an adventurer, even if the only skills he possesses are useless ones. Sure, he can [Parry] thousands of swords in the span of a single breath, but everybody knows you need more than that if you want to be an adventurer! Our hero’s road to making his dream come true will be long(?) and arduous(?)—but if there’s one thing Noor’s not afraid of, it’s some good ol’ fashioned hard work!

A sinister plot three centuries in the making comes to fruition, and the truth behind Holy Mithra finally rears its monstrous, skeletal head. The earth has shattered and spews forth monsters, the sky has turned the crimson color of blood, and a threat unlike any humanity has seen in millennia blankets the holy city. Our heroes face their greatest trial yet, but even with the help of some unexpected allies, are they truly up to the task? No matter the outcome, one thing’s certain: for Noor, this is bound to be a holiday to remember!

Freshly returned from his first-ever goblin hunt, Noor is tasked with accompanying Lynne and Ines to the nearby nation of Mithra. But with sinister forces acting behind the scenes, will they even manage to get there? Is the royal capital ready to withstand the nefarious schemes that threaten to destroy it? And, above all else, do poisonous toads make for good eating?! Whatever the case, our humble hero is just glad to be riding in a coach for the very first time—and he’s not about to let a little thing like a deadly assassin get in his way!
