When seasoned mercenary Loren is the sole survivor of a disastrous battle that destroys the rest of his company, he must find a new way to survive in the world. With no friends or connections, he has no hope of joining an adventuring party-until enigmatic priestess Lapis offers to partner up with him. But there’s more to Lapis than meets the eye, and Loren soon finds himself bound to a fate stranger than he imagined.

ESCORT QUEST

In order to repay his debt, ex-mercenary Loren parties up once again with cleric Lapis as adventurers for hire. Their latest mission is to escort the chief of state’s only daughter, Shaena, back to her hometown. Along the way, however, their fellow adventurers keep inexplicably disappearing. Between their mysterious charge and the sudden appearance of an undead horde, Loren and Lapis might be in for their most complicated adventure yet!

FOR A FEW COPPERS MORE

After disaster struck his mercenary band, Loren was broke and desperate. To make ends meet, he signed up as an adventurer, and that fateful decision landed him in the heart of a dangerous, labyrinthine ruin. After discovering that the ruins’ ancient magic still functions, and that the place is mass-producing goblins of unnatural power, Loren, Lapis, and their new silver-rank companions team up to shut the place down for good. With a horde of bloodthirsty monsters ready to defend their home, it’ll take everything they’ve got to pull it off alive!

DUNGEON CRAWL

The mercenary life was hard on Loren. Despite his enormous skill with a blade, he found himself alone and out of work. Joining up with a team of newbie adventurers seemed like the key to getting back on track, but their goblin hunt didn’t go as planned. Thanks to his new comrades’ bravado, Loren faced a disastrous ambush, only narrowly escaping along with the enigmatic priestess Lapis. Together, the two of them head deeper into an ancient labyrinth, seeking a way to escape from the perilous ruins. An avalanche of monsters stands between them and a secret from ages past!
