The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary (Novel) Vol. 04

THE DARKNESS ONLY DEEPENS

Desperate for a job that actually results in success, Loren agrees to Lapis’s newest suggestion: instead of a quest, they’ll partake in a monster hunt. But fate seems to have it in for Loren. The moment they hit the road, they come across a bandit army from whom they rescue a kidnapped elf child. The child leads them to the discovery of dark things afoot in the elven forest. Worse, there may well be a connection between these strange happenings and the darkness Loren and Lapis uncovered beneath the adventurer academy…

Series Overview: After the mercenary group he had been part of was utterly destroyed, Loren, who survived the disaster, decided to walk the adventurer’s path as a way to make a living. However, for Loren, who had no acquaintances and nothing but an empty pocket and his great sword on him, receiving a single quest seemed like a faraway goal. So, as he was contemplating about what he should do next, another adventurer called out to him.
