The Stranger of the Violet Wastes Kingdom

The boy was content with his current life. There was his grandfather—clumsy but kind—and a childhood friend who had been by his side for years. That alone was the boy's world. But such ordinary days were fragile and soon crumbled away. The boy drifted to another world and became a foreigner in a strange land. And the foreigner eventually became a hero, rising to a position where he held sway over the lives of many. The foreigner continues onward, agonizing over what it means to be a hero—demanded by the times, by those he loves, and by the nation itself.
