After a thorough restoration under the leadership of Will, the city
of Torch Port is now home to diverse folk from all over the world.
Its newest citizens are dwarves from the Rust Mountains, former
warriors turned vagabonds by the fall of the Iron Country. Will
sets out to learn about their past, hoping not only to help them
out as much as he can, but also to investigate rumors he's heard
about an imminent threat lurking in the mountains. Then, a
mysterious prophecy shakes Will's resolve: "Thou shalt challenge
the dragon with the protection of the god of the flame and die
defeated, thy purpose not fulfilled."
Heralded as a hero for his hand in slaying the wyvern in
Whitesails, Will steps into his own as the paladin of a faraway
land. He uses his new decoration to rally men in the name of
liberating Beast Woods from its demon plight, but the battle ahead
won't be an easy one. He'll come to learn the hard way that heroes
don't just fight-they protect. The greatness of their deeds lives
on in song and the hearts of men, a candle of courage for all even
in the darkest of times. And for Will, his own saga is just
beginning...
In the city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human
civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and
he's being raised by three undead. The three pour love into the
boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to
wonder: "Who am I?"Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway
land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the
love and mercy of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the
bad. And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on
the path to becoming a Paladin.
In the fight against death, Will finds a new guiding light-and not
a moment too soon. He must quickly learn to take what he gains in
the face of great loss and soldier boldly, reverently forward into
the future. With new life and purpose, Will takes his first steps
out into the world. Yet life on the outside is harsh. The land
where beasts roam and demons maraud is a dark one. Even the
kindness of strangers can be cruel here. The bustling city, too, is
cloaked in shadows all its own. Will must continue to fight, both
for his life and the light he now carries with him.

Contains the Complete Volumes 9-10! Under cover of night, Will and
his party set out on a quest to slay the calamitous elder dragon
Valacirca, bringer of war and transgressor upon the dwarves’
former home. Before they can vanquish the ancient beast, however,
they must survive the journey to the Rust Mountains where it
dwells. The way is long and fraught with dangers both anticipated
and unexpected. But even with the odds against them, Will, Menel,
Reystov, Al, and Ghelreis venture forth, emboldened by each
other’s bravery—for where there is darkness, there may always
yet be light.
By the time Haruhiro came to, he found himself in a game-like world
filled with terrifying monsters. This world is called Grimgar.
Armed with no more strength or ability than your average boy,
Haruhiro struggles to survive with his fellow party members as they
cobble out a mean existence, receiving mediocre pay in return for
risking their lives everyday. What kind of future does this harsh,
uncaring world have in store for those who are not destined to
succeed, who have no prophecy to guide them--who are not heroes...
