Holy Knights gather in Regin for one reason: the all-important “training camp,” a rigorous assessment every Gods-fearing woman must endure before earning the right to call herself one of the elites. But there’s a truth to the Church. An ugly truth that Chris Chamsel happened to experience firsthand. Broken and beaten by Inori, now her only desire is to see them suffer for it, and Inori is all too eager to help bring that dream to fruition.The layabout’s out to make a powerful enemy...

Yuji is an artist working out of a modest Tokyo apartment, when he suddenly receives a letter from his mother informing—not asking—him about an Italian girl coming to live with him while she attends university. Supposedly the two have a history, but forgotten memories lend little in the way of preparing either party for the inevitable awkwardness to come. Left with little say in the matter, Yuji’s bachelorhood comes to an end, and his life with Francesca begins.

The bloodbath continues. The Kingdom of the Rising Sun is plunged into a waking nightmare as the layabout wretch himself lays waste to his old hosts. The halls will run red with blood and the walls will tell tale of gruesome slaughter before Inori finishes taking out the trash. There’s just one thing standing between him and absolute freedom—Aegiana Itze, captain of the knights. On her shoulders rests the burden of an entire nation, and ultimately, its fate falls to her.Screams ech...

The battle for the Rising Sun reaches its bloody conclusion—and from the ashes will rise only the strongest of souls. Aegiana proves a more dangerous threat than Inori anticipated, and even with all his world-defying power, he’ll need to utilize every tool in his sinister toolbox if he wants to bring his plan to fruition. Meanwhile, deep in the palace, a will stirs, tempered by the flames...As ideals clash, corridors burn, and walls crumble, dawn finally breaks upon a kingdom in da...

Inori’s intuition was right. There are great unknown forces poking their noses into his business, and their methods are...intimate. The amorous Sylph has ensnared the layabout, but he’s nothing if not full of surprises.A new ally. New enemies. An out-of-season stampede. Myriad powers with myriad goals swirl about, with Inori at the center, and he couldn’t be more delighted. But where’s the fun in conflict if it’s too one-sided? Preparations must be made. One can never be too carefu...

Flanked on both sides by nosy gods and intrusive spirit mages, Inori finds himself with his back against a wall and with far too little information. Unless he wants to be caught unawares, he’s got to find a way to flip the tables. Fast.That’s when his enigmatic drinking buddy comes to mind. Who is he really? Why does everyone hate him? Will Inori regret finding the answers to those questions? And there’s still the matter of the mysterious elf seemingly stalking his every move. When...

With the fall of the Rising Sun, Inori and his new companion are finally free—well, the latter less so than the former. The two find themselves in the Holy Land of Ryne, where Ariya’s new obligation is to make a living while her new master, Inori, gathers intel from the shadows. And to the layabout’s credit, he does just that. Until, that is, the appearance of a nosy and rambunctious holy knight.Forced into the role of the knight’s apprentice, Inori now has to navigate the perils o...

Chris Chamsel is out for revenge by any means necessary—even going as far as drowning all of Regin in a sea of monsters. Whatever the church did to drive her to take such measures, Inori doesn’t care. He just needs more intel. And what’s the best way to siphon that from some unlucky prisoner of war? Torture. Physical and mental. And thanks to his new plaything, Sylph, he’s got the perfect means to that end.Ariya witnesses this from afar, and she arrives at a few conclusions. What t...

Life is beginning to settle down for Yuji and his new roommate, Francesca, but as luck would have it, things can’t ever just stay quiet. When an unexpected visitor arrives with a proposal, answers to questions which Yuji never even thought to ask arise—decisions have to be made and lines must be drawn. What really brought Fran all the way to Japan? What does Yuji have anything to do with it? And how will it potentially change his life forever?

Francesca is here to stay in Yuji’s life, but to what end? Yuji struggles to reconcile his newfound feelings with his obligations as a host. Wounds old and new only exacerbate the uncertainty of conflicting emotions and desires. Faced with the mistakes of his past, how long can Yuji really treat Fran as nothing more than a guest in his home? What does it mean to truly move on?

One moment, a certain salaryman is on cloud nine, that promotion finally within his grasp, and the next, he’s keeled over pain, and that was all she wrote. Luckily for him, fate had a bit more to say. A world of magic, monsters, and other such life-shortening entities await his newly reincarnated self for a second shot at life. With nothing but his past-life experiences and sharp business skills to guide him in the foreign lands of Galdardia, he takes up the name Luciel and vows that his (...

With the dragon “slayed” and corruption in the Church uprooted, Luciel returns to Yenice a hero, but a hero’s work is never done. His revolution is ambitious (too ambitious, some might say), and in the wake of change always comes resistance. As it turns out, dragons just might be the least of his worries when he realizes that the weeds he plucked might have only been a symptom of the City of Freedom’s underlying disease. Politics are a dangerous game and Luciel’s found himself stranded on ...
