Waymaker (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998768231)

A sympathetic god gives Simeon another chance at life after he dies from inhaling sewer gas on his 14th birthday.

Blessed by the Goddess of Desire, Simon is reborn in another world of magic without the memory of his past life. At 13 years old he sets off from his rustic farm home with hopes of learning and performing magic. Though he discovers having an affinity for water magic, he is set back when he is betrayed by a peer, his school application is rejected, and he is mugged. Hope arises when the master of an adventurer's guild finds him lying broken and penniless on the street and whisks him back to her headquarters to heal him. His slew of misfortunes triggers a recollection of his past life, and the guild master herself, who perceives something special about Simon, offers him a proposal to fulfill his desire to learn magic: join the Waymaker Guild.
