Synopsis
The story starts abruptly on Humlet having killed an unnamed lord and making his way to the Temissera Capital. It is stated that his goal is to take the entirety of EarthLandMedia under his control. Traveling with him to achieve his goal is his wife Shauna and a swordmaster named Alester. Upon reaching Temissera and killing the man in charge, O'Neill, he declares himself the new lord. However, knowing that the people of Temissera won't accept his rule so easily, he goes on an attack to take a section of the capital, where a fortress is located. With a small force aiding in his efforts, he initiates his attempt to capture the fortress.
Unbeknownst to Humlet, however, the commander of the fort, Reccan, son of former lord O'Neill, has a trap set for Humlet, for the sake of retaking Temissera and avenging his father. However, more of Humlet's forces appear as the battle progresses, from the mercenaries Subarashi and Emilia coming from the west, to the Goblins Teemu and Gabu from the east. After a long battle, Reccan is slain and Humlet takes the fortress for himself.
After that success, Humlet and his forces move to claim Fort Snow, another one of the fortresses in Temissera, situated in a snow-filled location. Upon capturing it, however, he is lured into a trap by the Pegasus rider Lassie (who used a skill to disguise herself as Shauna) and locked in a derelict building. She is a servant of Pauk, a member of the Silver Fang assigned to retake Fort Snow from Humlet. While they begin preparations, Humlet's forces attempt to rescue him and subdue the Silver Fang.
Mounting a successful rescue and defense, Humlet and his forces defeat Pauk and the Silver Fang. Retaining their rule over Fort Snow, they advance west to Hidden Dust, one of the last remaining forts still in opposition of him. In his path are less important, but nonetheless strategically placed forts in his way, but he manages to capture them without much of a thought. A group of mercenaries led by a man named Ark manage to take a handful for Humlet, due to Humlet's possession of his lover.
Humlet and his co conspirators plans to take Hidden Dust via a rescue drop by Allain, a wyvern rider they had encountered earlier. However, Allain leaves to take care of other business, leaving Humlet without an actual plan of attack.
After seizing the fort, Humlet encounters the commander Asagi, and he demands to know the location of his arch rival Laertes from her. Asagi reveals that she killed him and took his place. This infuriates Humlet, as, when he begins to explain, he took all of Temissera for the sole purpose of killing Laertes for an unspecified attack made on him from another dimension. Asagi then realizes that the entire story of Humlet's quest has been one giant parody of Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Humlet then talks about how the Enragement Ring is even involved in the proceedings, only to realize that it doesn't matter after the story didn't care about it until now.
