One Boy will Stop at Nothing to be the World's Strongest...Not Even Dragons!
Onetime world's strongest sage Matthias puts his energies into shoring up humanity's defenses against devastation at the claws of demonkind. But the demons have wormed their way into the very fabric of human civilization, spreading lies and even spying on the realm's seat of power! As Matthias unpicks the enemy's carefully laid strategies, he needs all the allies he can get! But will his decision to headhunt an ancient dark dragon for his cause backfire, burning him and the kingdom to a crisp?!
Ok ok, a dragon, i'm feeling you. Note though that thus far this dragon is taking the more dog forward approach as opposed to terrifying beast of legend. Also really glad that we got some timeline clarification on how long it took Matty to reincarnate, I was wondering about that. I am however in need of some good character growth for just about everyone. They are starting to feel a bit flat in comparison to the story that is being built up. So hopefully we can get in some good character time after this next fight.
Mostly I just want to have an official translation of the novel
I like the story. I've read fan translations of the web novel. I don't think this adapts from novel to manga that well--too much detail lost. They're completely different forms of story telling. Also, not a great choice to read this on a kindle. There's lots of double page spreads that get broken up, so you have to keep turning your kindle sideways. Still, A fun read.
This volume offers a fascinating glimpse into a world where regression has hit not just humanity and magic, but even the demons themselves. The decline of magical knowledge and power creates a captivating mystery, leaving everyone to rediscover the true potential of this lost art.
