This is the second book of my "Forgotten Dream of Tana" series that continues the story of Erf in a different world.

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries? <<less

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

Release Schedule: Mondays to Fridays. I'm still experimenting on time. Next week will be 7 PM UTC+8.

- Light LitRPG elements.

If someone asks me about my secrets, I could say, without exaggeration, that I have too many.... more>>

Of course, secrets are secrets, so I couldn't disclose them. But memories would come to mind of when I wasn't called Rendal. Memories of my dog, Alexander the Great, and of my past life on a planet called Earth.

I would also recall the way I died and the strange sensation that the event that caused my death still hasn't ended.

Neither can I talk about the strange power I discovered in this new world. My mentor has forbidden me from doing so; according to her, it could even make me a god... Personally, I would settle for getting a stable job.

And what better job than that of a high-ranking soldier in times of peace? Maybe I could even earn a small position in the nobility! Well, perhaps that's asking too much.

Firstly, to ascend in the ranks, having been born a mere villager, I need to excel in times of war...

The problem is, as you may recall, I can't freely use my magic. I can't even use my sword, my family's heirloom. Why? Well... that's also a secret. <<less

Sylvia and I huddled around our new home in Nebraska, where we were in our shoebox apartment. It overlooked the azure lake we fell in love with during one of our countable yet many apartment tours.

We were so fortunate to be selected by the wonderful, amazing and fair AI system. We were chosen among the tens of thousands of applicants. We had struck the jackpot as there were only five thousand vacancies in what was a 10:1 ratio of getting this very apartment.
