I'm Not the Hero! Volume 3

Now that the tournament to determine the world’s strongest fighter is over, Rex is on a new mission—recruit some more party members! During his search he comes across two women, the first being the drop-dead gorgeous Lily Harmonix. Lily is a Bard, a class that is incredibly useful for Rex’s purposes, but she also just so happens to be a blackhearted schemer who gave him some serious emotional trauma during a BB playthrough in his previous life. Navigating a relationship with Lily this time around proves equally harrowing, but it’s the death curse hanging over the head of Rex’s second potential party member, Rose, that proves to be his most difficult challenge yet. Unflinching, Rex dives headfirst into a battle against fate, but by saving Rose’s life, will he change the course of BB’s storyline forever?
