By some miracle, he escapes his fate and flees. After quickly adapting to the game-like mechanics, he begins to hunt the strength he needs to survive in this unforgiving world. He’s a big of a jack-of-all-trades but has powerful Wind Magic and excellent spearmanship. His first stop is a city just north of the kingdom’s capital, Silvia. There, he meets his first true companion in his new world, Laya. Lutz rescues her from slavery and begins to train her in magic. The 19-year-old elf girl doesn’t look any older than ten, but her small frame is contrasted by her killer instincts. She specializes in Wind Magic and uses her mid-ranged chain sickle to hound her enemies. Together, they cross paths with Marquis Adel and get pulled into his scheme to save the city of Silvia from its fate at the hands of its corrupt ruler. They manage to slay him, avenging Laya’s destroyed village in the process. Volume 2 After fleeing north from Silvia, Lutz and Laya eventually need to restock their bags, so they stop at the city of Reim. It’s no better off than Silvia, and he ends up getting dragged even deeper into its mess. It’s at this city that he meets his next two companions, Alisha and Belle. Belle was a slave alongside Alisha, and together, they killed their old mistress and fled, trying to survive on the streets. She has powerful Fire and Water Magic, plus various support spells. But she lacks confidence in close combat, so she has to rely on her teammates to defend her. Alisha is a beastkin, with cat-like ears and tail. She’s incredibly protective of innocent people but also a fierce predator on the battlefield. The only thing that’s holding her back is the [Curse of the Forsaken], which drains her stats and lowers her skill points. Now a party of four, they hatch a plan to bring down Reim’s mayor and put an end to the rebellion that had taken over the city. Things don’t quite go as planned, but in the end, the worst-case scenario of an all-out bloodbath was avoided. Volume 3 Lutz’s ultimate destination is the elven lands. So after leaving Reim, he travels east, beginning the long journey across the vast Orakian Kingdom. While Lutz maintained his single-minded focus on surviving, there was someone else with an equally powerful goal. Princess Lumina de Eldridge left the castle in search of Lutz, determined to find out if he is truly the hero she’s looking for. She deduces his ultimate destination and matches his pace eastward, heading toward the elven lands. At the same time that Lutz and Lumina began their trek east, the Orakian army made its move, invading the lands of Chaos. Led by Lumina’s eldest brother, Crown Prince Rhys, the fifty-thousand strong army seeks to end the conflict once and for all, using the strength of the other three summoned heroes: Cedric, Rolf, and Collette. If all of that weren’t enough, trouble is brewing back at the castle. The kingdom’s most powerful noble has his eyes set on the throne, and he’ll use anything at his disposal to get it, even if it ends up causing a civil war. It’s during this time of turmoil and uncertainty that Lutz and Lumina finally meet once again. But their reunion is cut short and the two of them are teleported away. Though there were points of danger, Lutz manages to protect Lumina. During their journey to reunite with Laya and the others, the two of them come to terms with their turbulent past, forming a deep bond in the process. After quite of a bit of fighting, they meet up safely and foil the plan of a group of vampires who had been terrorizing the region. In the end, Lumina decides to go back to the castle, claiming that she has important business. So, it’s just the four of them once again: Lutz, Laya, Alisha, and Belle. They continue east, down the final highway that separates them from the elven lands. Volume 4 The party travels to the eastern edge of the Orakian Kingdom. As usual, they’re completing a batch of guild requests with no reward to help those who have been abandoned by their own country. One of these quests puts them close to a dungeon, The Twisted Spire. Desperate to grow stronger, Lutz leads the girls inside, where they face monsters and challenges befitting the dungeon’s reputation. While climbing the tower, they run across four slaves: Kalyn, Geralt, Ina, and Devin. Lutz frees them from their battle-hungry master and gives them the strength they need to survive on their way out of the dungeon. The party continues to climb, finally reaching the final floor. The wyvern they find there is a rather disappointing final boss, but to their surprise, a hidden path leads toward a hidden floor above. Inside, they find a secret boss that guards the dungeon’s final door. After defeating the construct, they step into the hidden room and find a powerful orb. That orb seems to control the flow of mana within the dungeon, as if it were acting as a heart to keep the energy moving to where it needs to go. However, even more surprising is the vampire they find in that very room. Tylith von Phyress, sister to Vampire Lord Ashton, had been trapped there after the party she followed through the dungeon leaves without her. After a brief confrontation, the vampire princess joins Lutz and the others as the group levels up by defeating the tough bosses near the top of the dungeon. When their grinding is complete, all five of them leave The Twisted Spire, heading
