Chapter 21 – Dead End
Chapter 21: Dead End Armored Dragon Calendar Year 417 – Rudeus, Age 10 – Demon Continent --- Red sky. That was the first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes. Not the familiar blue of Fittoa.

2016 – 02 – The Identity Crisis
2016 - 02 - The Identity Crisis The official severing of Royal Road from its translation roots plunged the Western author base into a profound, collective identity crisis. For years, the English Sandbox had operated on a simple, derivative formula: take the plot of a translated Korean LitRPG (like Legendary Moonlight Sculptor) or a Japanese Isekai (like Sword Art Online), change the names, make the protagonist slightly more violent, and publish.
