Our " thirty-something hero" is back! (32, to be precise.) And this time, his training team from hell, the legendary Orichalcum Fist, is here to join him! Boasting brutish strength and profound intelligence is Broughston, the Orcsage! The greatest weaponsmith in all the land is Mizett, the Millenium Forge! Wielding the most fearsome sorcery is Alicerette, the Demon Child of Devastation! With these famed heroes finally gathered in one place their monstrous power is ripe to set loose! And, after a long wait, Rick faces the next leg of his Adventurer Trials: the Mock Battle. His opponent is none other than Raster, a proctor so foul that he laughs at men's dreams as he crushes their hopes. Rick's righteous fury is at a fever pitch! This is the story of an adventurer's courage-- the story of an old-timer showing the world it's never too late to chase your dreams!
