Two years into Kirito and Eugeo's quest to reach the Central Cathedral, the pair have finally become elite disciples at the North Centoria Imperial Swordcraft Academy. Now all that's left to do is train for the next tournament, build their relationships with their trainee pages, and do so without violating the Taboo Index. But just because this peaceful world is governed by law and order doesn't mean evil can't fester below the surface...and when it comes time to choose between the rules and what's right, Kirito and Eugeo discover the darker secrets of the Underworld.

A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress.

Japan is a single nation, but its origins are so old, and often, so fragmented, that unified mythology and folklore can be difficult to point to. Still, there are some key texts, tales, and characters we can focus on which will give us a pretty good sense of Japanese mythology. In this audiobook, you'll discover stories of mystery, horror, and romance while simultaneously learning about the Japanese culture.

The place: America. The year: 1931. The setting: the transcontinental express train known as the "Flying Pussyfoot."

But drunk on the excitement of their departure, none of them are prepared for what awaits them on the rails.

After I died from overwork in my previous life, I decided keeping a good work-life balance in this one would be my top priority. I've been a lot busier ever since word got out that I'm level 99, but my world has also been getting bigger. Beelzebub is the most reliable demon I've ever met, Falfa and Shalsha are as adorable as can be, Laika is the best apprentice anyone could ask for, and Halkara is...well, Halkara is doing her best. Whether it's hosting a café, fighting ghosts in a factory, or even meeting a demon king, there's nothing we can't handle together!

When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it's Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare.
