About this listen
With the story no longer in danger, Samson has to turn towards what's next.
The story he knew is basically over, and new unscripted chapters are the future. With the original plot of the book left behind, Samson now faces a world filled with endless possibilities and dangers.
The question of returning to his old life has become a distant thought as Samson embraces his role in this new world. He's built deeper connections more real than anything he's ever experienced. But nothing is without a cost. Sampson soon finds that his actions have consequences that ripple across the world of My Royal Academia.
As he fights to safeguard those dear to him, Samson faces a critical question: What does it truly mean to live and leave a mark in a world that was once nothing more than a tale in a book?

I had lain down in my crypt to rest for a few decades, but when I awoke, centuries had passed. My castle is in ruins, my clan is gone, and necromancers are considered just a fairy tale for children. They take me for a healer. That's because the world is sick. And it's time for strong medicine.

Story
Arden was left in the village by a dying mage, who never returned. With no way out of the village on his own, he had always held onto the hope that one day his magic would awaken and give him access to his spheres. But he’s about to turn eighteen and it’s never come. Instead, he’s settled into his lot as a sarcastic and quick-witted innkeeper. That all changes one night when his old flame, who escaped the village to become a mage’s anchor, returns. Ard’s life is about to go through some dramatic changes, and he’s not ready for them.

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

After having kept my hands to myself for years, It's time to enjoy myself a bit as well with an enemy-turned-ally magician who is as smart as she is beautiful, a bar owner who can equally hold herself in a fight as much as with liquor, and the only other survivor other than myself, a golden-haired healer who's even more damaged than I am. Change looms behind Greystone's colossal walls as guilds vanish, arena fighters wind up dead, and whispers of a great war permeate the streets. My name is Cade, a man driven by vengeance, and I am going to bring it all down!

Man…whoever thought being a god would make life easy needs a serious reality check. I mean, I offed humanity’s champion, then I hacked into the world’s System to literally erase the pesky Hero title once and for all, but I still can’t catch a break. Now Yamada’s inherited his brother’s title, and it looks like he and the other reincarnations are on their way to the elf village juuust when the demon army is looking to conquer it. Ugh, this is becoming way too big a headache...Time for plan B. I think I’ll have a little “chat” with Sariel.

I was a Hunter, and I honored the Code. For my services to humanity and for leading a "proper" life, I was to be rewarded. A new life after death, and a new world to give me some well-deserved rest. But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is.

The Series Remains Engaging
I have to say that this is one of the most well written light novel series I have ever read. Sampson is an active protagonist that does a great job adapting to the events that occur in the book while planning ahead to prevent things from getting off track. Book 5 does a good job breaking the two semester tournament formula and the addition of writers notes is a great addition. It wraps up the arc while adding a bit of a twist at the end to make you want to continue on with the series.
