Here’s Chapter 20, this is an automated chapter post as I’ll be out for most of the day. Hopefully the link works when it’s released. Also, could someone post this on reddit? I’ll put the format for the reddit post at the very bottom.

We’re almost halfway through the first arc so maybe the orcs that are supposed to be in this arc will appear soon.

About the chapter, we usually read lords and rulers as being nasty people, but if you think about it from their perspective, they don’t necessarily have the nicest life either.

For those wondering how the city was built, there’s a tidbit for you guys as well.

Lastly for those wondering what happened to the Claws of the Hawk…yeah, well, you’ll see.

[Chapter 20] (https://silenttranslations.com/legend/legend-chapter-20/)
**Synopsis**

Living in the Tohoku countryside, Saeki Reiji lost his life in an accident during summer vacation……However, he found himself in a white world with a strange glowing orb in front of his eyes. The orb claimed to be a magician of a different world, and he was looking for a person who would inherit the magic he had perfected in order to prevent the knowledge from disappearing. With that, Reiji, equipped with a new body and powerful magic, went to live in the world of Elgin.

Here’s Chapter 19, sorry it’s a bit late.

I usually do my editing right before I release it and I ended up spending too much time reading other novels today.

Rei continues hunting in this chapter, kinda reminds me of Death March with the looking for food.

Lastly, for the record, I am a MTLer for those that didn’t know. I know limited amounts of Japanese and am using translator aggregator to help TL this.

Here’s Chapter 18

Sorry about the broken link last week. I’ve been scheduling the chapters for the past few weeks and sometimes I forget to check all the links. On that note, my release time is GMT 00:00 for those that want to know.

For those that get linked from reddit, you’ll probably see this chapter a bit later because I’m usually busy during the release time which means that I don’t post it on reddit. If someone can do that, feel free to do so.

Finally something about the chapter, Rei should really check what he can cut with the Death Scythe, finding out on the spot is all good but only if he can cut it, if he can’t then that’s going to get a little awkward.

Here’s Chapter 17.

Sometimes I forget that I’m a few chapters ahead of you guys and end up leaving cliffhangers without thinking much about it.

In this chapter, the staple of fantasy stories in introduced, I mean what kind of fantasy doesn’t have goblins? Come to think of it, I don’t recall ever hearing about goblins in Lord of the Rings…either that or because I’ve never read the trilogy.

EDIT: My bad guys, I forgot to make it a child page under the Legend group which mean that it had a different name, link should be working now.

Short on time today so here’s Chapter 15

If the link doesn’t work, give it a while since both page and post are set to auto release.

 

Here’s chapter 14, this time with a correct link, sorry for last week >.<

If you think Rei was brutal last chapter, he puts on the finishing touches this chapter.

We get introduced to dungeons, a staple of every fantasy story as well as some new characters.

Also, just an fyi, the next few chapters slow down a bit as Rei updates his knowledge.

 

For the series of the week, for something a bit more action oriented I would suggest taking a look at Inch of Radiance at pikatranslations. It’s a Chinese fantasy story that’s a bit of mix between xianxia and wuxia in my opinion. That and the main character specializes in throwing knives.

Here’s chapter 13 and the fight you’ve been looking forward to.

……Okay, let’s face it, its not going to be much of a fight, you  all knew that right?

What we do find out though is that Rei has a cunning AND brutal streak.

 

For my series of the week, I’ll introduce He-Man’s translation of Upgrade Specialist in Another World on WuxiaWorld. There’s only a few chapters but it has an interesting twist on being sent to another world, not a particularly nice one to the one being sent though.

EDIT: whoops my bad, link was to chapter 10, copy pasted the url and forgot to change the number.

Here’s Chapter 12.

In this chapter, we find out that the bandits attacking nobles event has been substituted for a different event.

There’s also a info dump about the guild system. Come to think of it, I wonder how a guild system would work in the modern world. There’s probably some obvious reason why no one has made one but it’s still interesting to think about.

Lastly, my recommendation of week is the King’s Avatar at gravity tales. For those who aren’t reading it, it’s about a gaming pro who gets kicked out of team for various reasons. He then proceeds to start a new character on a new server and takes serious trolling to a whole new level. If you play league, it’s kinda like what Dyrus is doing at the moment, why else would he run Ultimate Bravery in a Gold V ranked and still carry.

Edit: Oh, almost forgot, if you hold over the Legend tab in the menu area, you can seen a Gallery tab drop down, the volume covers for the 3 volumes of the light novel currently released can be found there.

And here’s the first chapter of the year! Chapter 11

I stayed up for the new year but the fireworks in my area were really depressing.

Anyway, about the chapter, it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen a nice and competent guard. The world’s currency is also introduced, which leads me to another thing. I can’t figure out what the name largest currency is meant to be, if anyone has any suggestions after reading the TL note in the chapter, drop a comment below.

Also, it’s become a bit of a habit to share a series that I’m reading every week now. On the idea of non mainstream weapons, Madan ou to Vanadis is a good read, while not unconventional, a bow is still a rare weapon for a MC. 12 translated volumes can be read here setsuna86blog.wordpress.com. He seems to keep disappearing at the end of each of the recent volumes though, not exactly an easy life for him.
