Afterword

Afterword

A pleasure to see you again. I am the author, Gamei Hitsuji.

The Magician Who Rose From Failure is now on its third volume! Thank you so much for taking the time to read three books as long as these!

In this volume, young Arcus travels west with Noah and Cazzy to obtain the silver he needs for the aethometer’s production. It’s a journey packed with delicious food, tricky troubles, and new encounters. Arcus doesn’t fail to make use of his magic and extensive knowledge on the way, of course.

Just like with the other volumes, there were parts I added that weren’t in the web novels. New characters, new spells, and new battles. I also wrote in the item that Arcus got from Gown at the end of the previous volume. I tried to make the new fights even more spectacular too, so they ended up with a lot of extra spells...

Just like with previous volumes, I was working on the spells right up until the last minute. Word choice was, of course, important, but I wanted the spells to flow smoothly when spoken aloud too. I couldn’t just slap them together haphazardly! (This old chuunibyou is rambling again, I fear...)

Anyway, I think that even those who have read the web novel will be satisfied after reading this version. And now we move onto the next volume while this volume’s ends remain loose. Web novel readers will already know this, but the next volume is where the war part of the “Tales of War and Magic” subheading starts to develop.

Those lurking in the shadows at the end of volumes 2 and 3 will finally start to make their moves, and Arcus will finally face off against you-know-who... It will also be revealed how Eido slots in to everything.

Oh, and if you’re worried about the girls missing out, you probably might not necessarily need to be, maybe!

To wrap up, I’d like to give my thanks. To GC Novels; my editor, K; my illustrator, Saika Fushimi; my proofreading company, Oraido; and all of my supportive readers. Thank you so much.
