HIGH ELF WITH A LONG LIFE VOL. 2

Bored of over a century of forest life, Acer ventures out with bow in hand, seeking adventure, treasure, and the unpredictable chaos of the wider magical realm. Acer’s break from woodland tranquility grows into a full-blown journey across a wondrous fantasy realm. Following his decision to leave the Great Pulha Woodlands behind, Acer visits new lands where his decades of peace-time skill give way to fresh trials and discoveries. From bustling port towns to glittering cities, he tests his mettle with swordplay and magic under the tutelage of surprising mentors and makes connections that broaden his view of this vast world. Along the way he finds that life outside the forest offers delicious meals, curious customs, and mysteries worth unraveling – and every path he takes brings him closer to mastering the art of living fully with a lifetime ahead of him.
