Question: Why is Geño different from the rest? Is he from another human civilization or is his design just creative liberty? Also is Dacimor a female or a male?

I hit 'fully randomize' a few times on the appereance screen during character creation, and liked how it turned out.
I didn't put any thought into it (back then i didn't plan on adapting this into a webmanga).
In the next chapter i'm going to adress why Geño looks different than the others in this story.

Fan theory: Geño is a demigod and Issha's is his mother.

this is really really cool! you say your drawing style is messy but the amount of detail you've put into even the backgrounds is quite amazing! the hatching is *chef's kiss*
Is this an old game that you made notes for or are you playing this and making the comic as you go?

Also every time I see something like this it reminds me that I should stop procrastinating about my own art stuff, but then I immediately go back to not working on it and wondering why there has been not progress.

Been there, i know that feeling. : (
Last year was especially bad.

'Roc Slayer' is based on a finished adventure from a few months ago.
Back then i didn't really plan on adapting this into a manga, i took a few screenshots and thought about writing about it and sharing said screenshots here in the forums, but ended up not doing it.
I've already played many more adventurers and forts since then, and i plan on adapting all of them.

Are they all in the same world? If so, that'll be cool. Ever thought about opening a patron in the near future. I feel people would definitely support your manga and it would be sweet to have a physical copy of The Realm of Dragon series.

THAT WAS QUICK.
I did not expect fanart after just one chapter!
Thank you so much!

Cathar, you're really great at details!
Now Geño only needs to meet his future oath brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. ; )

Rumrusher, i really like Geños' face on that one!
And i want a plush of that fluffy bat-winged, moth-like one! ; )
Yeah, this story would have very likely ended there in 44.12.

Thanks so much, you two!
That really made my day! : )

Yupp, all in the Realm of Dragons.
And i might? I want to see how consistent i am at releasing these before even thinking of Patreon.
...not gonna lie, doing this for a living would be a dream come true.

So that bit about Dasmir not joining got me thinking of the other methods of getting companions... which uhh would shift the start of this adventure to Geño makes a complete fool of themselves to convince childhood friend to join them on their divine quest and constantly have to keep making a complete fool of themselves to maintain this following.

Does anybody know how to become an elephant man in adventure mode? I literally did all advanced world settings possible to increase chances.

The artwork is beautiful, and the characters are quite compelling already. You got me hooked, damn you!

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.

Chapter 2 is almost done.
However, i probably need another 5 to 6 more days for finishing, scanning, proof reading, and editing around 30 pages (more than chapter 1).
I also want to color the title pages this time, AND the one from chapter 1.
...so maybe another week?

Really was hoping i could do this faster, but i don't have that much free time, and i refuse to shorten the amount of pages. I had to come to terms with the fact that i love losing myself in details and taking my time to let stories settle in over sacrificing/shortening pages in favor of 'doing it faster'.

So that bit about Dasmir not joining got me thinking of the other methods of getting companions... which uhh would shift the start of this adventure to Geño makes a complete fool of themselves to convince childhood friend to join them on their divine quest and constantly have to keep making a complete fool of themselves to maintain this following.

Geño starts a performance
Dasmir starts a performance
The stray cat starts a performance

Roc 1 (to Roc 2): 'Eh, that dancer with the jester hat is middling.'
Roc 2 (to Roc 1):'Agreed, that dancer with the jester hat could be better.'

Geño sheds a tear


oh yeah I went and drawn more fanart of this character.

You captured his design so well!
Especially his expression. (He knows we are looking)
I'm starting to believe he deserves his own spin-off. ; P


What would this manga be like while listening to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QedNMpLIOI

Probably like a mecha-anime. ; )
'AAAALL HAAILL brittania MONG NIWIRRRRRR!!'

I actually listen a lot to SNES soundtracks while working on this.
The overworld music from Equinox for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6omOi20jw, or any of the Secret/Trials Of Mana or Chrono Trigger songs.

I don't know why, but they really spark my imagination.


The artwork is beautiful, and the characters are quite compelling already. You got me hooked, damn you!

PTW because - damn, full length manga? Great work.

Thank you for your kind words! Really motivates me! : )
