To fulfill Isana’s dying wish, Lia decides to form a hero party and defeat the Demon King.
However.
There’s the scheming, money-grubbing elf who charges for every healing spell.
“To our unbreakable friendship. I’d like to borrow against it for a few gold coins.”
“Money ruins friendships. No money, no conversation.”
There’s the useless swordsman who’s so afraid of dying that he put every skill point into dodging.
“My sword’s getting a little dull. By the way, can I hide behind you? I promise I won’t be in the way.”
“Let the old and the young go first. I have something to do, so I’ll be off.”
And there’s the battle-crazed mage who’s supposed to put up shields but charges into the fray first.
“Fight! Fight! This is so much fun!”
“Hey, why are you all lying down?”
And then there’s the hero who’s actually a dragon disguised as a human.
The most powerful dark elf in the elven realm is a hopeless miser. He’s cunning, handsome, and calculating, but also loyal and true to his friends.
After Lia rescues him from the eye of the storm, the elf kneels before her like an elegant knight.
“If you want my loyalty, you’ll have to pay for it in gold.”
As a dragon, money is the one thing Lia has plenty of.
“Once we defeat the Demon King, I’ll pay you everything you’re owed in one lump sum.”
As for how the storm came to be, that doesn’t matter.
The forbidden art that reverses time requires five ingredients.
A mermaid’s tears, a pitch-black heart, a free bird’s feather, false eyes, and a soul willing to sacrifice itself.
Lia is willing to do whatever it takes to obtain them.
Reader’s guide:
The whole novel is complete. The heroine is obsessed with friendship, while the hero is obsessed with romance. The plot takes precedence over the romance, with a few fan-favorite heroine moments and plenty of strong male and female characters. Happy ending.
Theme: Friendship can overcome any hardship
