@Ruzand The Novel never got to the part to explain what happened to his friend.
@DaFuxas The story itself is good because it's different than other manga and books. Its more about Lecan living in this world and learning about it rather than becoming a noble, unraveling a huge conspiracy, or having an immense opponent to fight. It's slow paced like the manga.
The translation isn't bad compared to some of the other webnovels, but there's a weeb element. The translator likes to leave in some Japanese words translated into it's Romanized form. For example: "Un" means yes. But instead of writing yes, he writes Un.
