Enough with This Slow Life! I Was Reincarnated as a High Elf and Now I’m Bored

Life in the Great Pulha Woodlands is the very definition of stillness and tranquility—and Acer’s had enough of it! That’s right. Acer isn’t quite like the other high elves of the forest. For starters, he remembers living a past life as a human in another world...meaning he’s got a taste for meat, adventure, and plenty of other decidedly un-elven things! He’s also bored out of his skull after 120 years of the peace and quiet of their serene sylvan lifestyle. So with nothing more than his trusty bow, a bundle of life-giving fruit, and his close bond with the spirits of nature, Acer leaves the monotony of the forest behind to seek a new life, one that’s more his pace. See what excitement awaits in the outside world full of humans, dwarves, and even other elves!

Nearly twenty years after leaving the Great Pulha Woodlands and making first contact with the human civilizations of this world, Acer finds the consequences of his actions catching up with him. The incident that forced him to leave the kingdom of Ludoria has brought a half-elf child into the world. Traditionally, such children were disposed of, but at Acer’s request, the child is spared—on the condition that Acer himself takes responsibility for it. He eagerly embraces his new role as a foster father, and while raising a child means he must put his days of carefree wandering behind him for a time, there’s still plenty of world out there for the two of them to explore. But before they go too far, Acer has some old friends he’d like his newly adopted son to meet!

After their time in the Dwarven Kingdom, Acer returns with his son Win to the Yosogi dojo, where the two must face the consequences of their long life spans. Win sets off on his own journey, and Acer says goodbye to the friends he has outlived. But this is not just a time of farewells; it is also a time for new encounters. After experiencing great loss and loneliness, Acer remembers the origin of the Yosogi School and decides to travel to the far east. Along the way, he meets a girl who can see spirits, a boy who uses divine arts, and even a mystic.

After his unexpectedly long stay in Ancient Gold Province, Acer bids farewell to the ancient mystics and his beloved companion Sayr, returning to his search for the origins of the Yosogi School. Across the sea, he reaches his destination: the island nation of Fusang, or “Fusou” as its people call it. He finds many things in Fusou that remind him of his time with Kaeha, as well as his own previous life, but he also faces the state of perpetual war the nation is locked in against the oni. However, that turmoil has laid the foundation for a kingdom built on the rare unity of three different races. While Acer’s search continues, the mystery behind this unified society is too intriguing for him to ignore.
