Beat the Demon Lord and save the world? No Thanks!
Collects Vol. 1-3 of the epic series, remastered and re-edited!


My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess’s love. To me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break.

I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It’s a suicide mission. But once I was exiled, I found that the outside world was drastically different than I had thought. The beautiful women I meet; demons, dragons, and orcs, might be my best shot for surviving the insanity I’ve been thrown into.

A Good Fantasy Story

This was a fun one. I enjoyed the concept when it was revealed and the episodic nature of the books make it nice and easy to follow even with breaks. The romance didn't knock it out of the park for me, personally. I felt like it was a bit too freely given from most characters, and I also think that the balance of sex scenes to story was a little to weighted in the former's favour for my taste. Still, a good fun time to be found.
