This is the story of a young slave gladiator in an underground arena. He doesn’t know about his past or how he got to where he is, only that his name is Aegir, and that he is strong.
One day he kills the boss and escapes the arena, joining a band of mercenaries as a new recruit. During one mission, they encounter the vampire, Lucy, who slaughters the band with her inhuman strength. After learning that Aegir only knows how to kill, Lucy lets him stay at her house, educating and taking care of him.
Two years pass, and on the day of Aegir’s departure, they both exchange a promise that if Aegir becomes a king and owns the land of Erg forest, he can come and take her as his woman. Making this his life goal, Aegir set out on a journey to become a hero, a king, and found his own kingdom.

I hope the seinen is as little impact as possible… on the mind… ?
I hate seinen novels… a LOT. ?
Just in case this novel is worthy and I have nothing to worry about, ?
Thanks for doing this novel. ?
I like the novel, but where is 23-28? And is 22 only 2 parts I am a little lost
Hey chapters 23-28 will be released shortly, for now you can read them at FF’s site: https://noneemu.wordpress.com/2017/01/19/chapter-23/
Thanks for picking this up… Loves you guys…
I hope you guys can add the illustrations too sometime in the future… 🙂
Hey, thanks for picking this up for translation. I’ve been reading ahead with Google translate which is really painful, but I don’t know enough Japanese to read on my own. But even with borderline gibberish translation, I’ve gotten past 250 chapters and hope to god that you guys can catch up, because this WN gets incredibly awesome.
Oh god, sure you didn’t get brain cancer from all that machine translation? XD I couldn’t even finish one machine translation haha.
Will a page for illustrations for this novel appear?
Check out my Patreon Page for information in regards to this matter https://www.patreon.com/lightnovelstranslations, I’m doing a mini goal promotion, if I reach $250 I’ll immediately start an illustration page, or conversely, you can post a positive comment at https://lightnovelstranslations.com/road-to-kingdom-chapter-33-34-35-exciting-announcement/ and if it reaches 100 positive comments I’ll also commence creating an illustrations page.
Or just wait patiently and I’m the type of person who will end up doing it sooner or later, but for now I don’t have much time to organise the images, crop them, clean them, edit them, reduce their size, link them to proper chapters etc. takes too much time to perform without burning me out mentally and physically, I still need to translate other novel chapters after all!
Do what you can definitely don’t want you getting burned out love all the work you do and many thanks I would do Patreon in a heartbeat for you guys but I’m barley able to pay rent and eat after I pay bills the work you guys do gives me the motivation to keep at it so just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you
Can i ask why “sexual partner count” 18 in chapter 22 but in the chapter 23 have 28 sexual partner???
Author must’ve been high or something lol. I didn’t even notice that.
Thank you so much, Im really enjoying this novel
I love the plot
Cmon! Chap. 57 is taking so looooong!! Can u guys pls make it faster plllllsss! Im dying here ..
Wanna try your hand at editing? I am doing nearly everything myself right now, so I wouldn’t mind some help if you think you are up to the task, shoot me up an email at mindblowingtranslations@hotmail.com and I can give you access to the chapters you are willing to edit.
…Whats up with this crazy TL speed?…saying Thank you seems to shallow…but I don’t know what other words could express my gratitude better, so Thank You!?
i like this novel thank you !
I bet it’s going to be that bandit girl Claire that he let go free
dammit that was supposed to go on ch83
EPUB of ch 1-97 is available here https://wp.me/P7FjTh-vf
friend I leave this message requesting your permission to use your work to translate it into Spanish
where does the volumes start and end?
What happened to the illustrations mate im rooting for it
Man, took a look at the patreon, and i really wish i had the money to read those chapters, the titles make me really intereted in them, plus there are many.
An advice, maybe you shouldtake 1 or 2 days to pump more chapters into patreon, until there are 10 and adjust the tiers, that way you may get more people
One of the best novel so far. though the release frequency is a bit slow but acceptable.
Great novel, great story 😀
When Will Lucy show Up?
