Having defeated his pursuers from his home city, it's time for Ike to escape the Abyss and level up! Out in the real world, he realizes just how small his original world view was, as he encounters mountain spirits, princesses, and everything in between, all while growing stronger and stronger.
However, it's not all fun and games. Under the surface of his adventures roils a grand conspiracy. The more he explores, the more of the conspiracy he unravels, until he finds himself facing what he thought he'd his very origins themselves.
How far does the conspiracy stretch? How much will Ike uncover? As he reaches further and further from home, one truth looms no matter how far he goes, there's no escaping his roots.

The book is average and a good way to kill some time. There is nothing special to set it apart and it seems to wander away from a plot like the characters wander around. It is like it needs something special to set it apart like a talking head. Oh wait it does, kinda. How many fantasy books have characters fighting and leveling up? Yep pretty much all of them. Now think of all the ones with a talking head. Yeah, silence. Which is what the talking head spoke this entire book. Not once with all the mc’s questions did the head speak this book. It has never spoken to Wisp. It has been gagged for almost the entirety letting some not average opportunities go unspoken. So without anything special, your average fare reared its ugly head.
Several progressive subplots… and I loved it. Ike has grown on me the past two books. You can tell that the author is progressing Ike’s internal motivations each and every step. The kit that our MC is building is truly interesting, and the magic system itself leaves so many opportunities to build upon. Additionally the magic system is setting this series up for a long term favorite of mine. The dynamics with the new team really hits hard. I love the mysteries and the power ups. I would hope to read another 10 books of this story. Already preordered the next one. Amazing addition Noct!
The moment Ike pickup Shawn to carry him again I was done. It’s just too stupid to continue reading. It was getting rather annoying and that was my last straw.
