Description
When Rentt Faina crosses paths with Nive Maris, he finds himself victim to a rain of Holy Fire! But rather than prove he's a vampire, it disproves it! Lorraine believes Rentt's divinity may have protected against the Holy Fire, and together they decide to make for Hathara, where Rentt obtained his divinity.
Before Rentt and Lorraine can depart Maalt, they first need to create wands and equipment for their disciple, Alize. To avoid trouble with others like Nive, Rentt has to negotiate with the Guildmaster, Wolf Hermann, to have his double registration officially approved. But as Wolf oversees countless ruffians, this will be no easy task!
An undead with a dream, eternally striving for the rank of Mithril-class!
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (Light Novel): Volume 5 continues the thrilling saga of Rentt Faina and his challenging journey.
