Sunlight poured gently upon all. What a blessing it would have been for the world if only the skies could remain clear. For tomorrow too, and for all days to come, I was to continue to pray for calm. To endure for those who cried, with desperation I remained in prayer.... more>>

I, Tremina, was an ordinary village girl. No, maybe less than ordinary. I was said to be easy-going for a long time, and I was not good at any form of exercise. At a young age, I decided to take over my family's potato farm.... more>>

With that involved, I was able to enroll in a knight training school.

There, I discovered a great talent of mine, aided by my gentleness and overwhelmingly strong mental strength.

Anyway, I was able to forge mana without feeling tired at all. Mana is the source of life and power, and if an ordinary person trains with it for two hours a day, they will, naturally, be completely exhausted. But I was able to go on and on for hours and I never got tired. By the way, except when sleeping, Mana can be trained in parallel to doing anything else like eating or studying.

This story is a record of my battle. While being feared as a monster by those around me, I eventually became a sword god with the greatest fighting potential of mankind.

In addition, I also grow potatoes as a side job. <<less

A War Without Casualties.... more>>

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighbouring Giadian Empire’s army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that’s what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the “nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the “unmanned” weapons into battle…

Shin is the leader of a squadron of eighty-sixers. Lena is a “handler” who commands the detachment from the remote rear with the help of special communication technology.

The farewell story of the severe and sad struggle of these two begins! <<less
