    Summary

    Rozemyne has spent a long time in Yurgenschmidt, nearly thirteen years at this point. Things weren't so easy when she first woke up here, reborn after being crushed under a pile of her beloved books, when she was so sickly that she thought she was going to die. But she's made a good life for herself among the commoners, she started going to school and improved her health, she opened a printing workshop with Benno, and she even managed to snag a job as an assistant librarian! Everything's going great, and now, her greatest desire is to get better for good. And get lots and lots of books, of course.

    And that's when she meets him.

    Summary

    “If you want something that is not available, just make it yourself”. In this case 'something' is 'Part 6 of Ascendance of a Bookworm'.

    It is the beginning of autumn before Rozemyne's final year at the Royal Academy. The other aubs had not reacted kindly to her revealing the second path to the foundation, so she had spent the last season in her castle. While that was beneficial for her safety it allowed rumors of a puppet aub to spread in Alexandria's noble society. But when she is finally able to resume “normal” operation and meet her family again she instead learns that Tuuli is in grave danger and there is only so much Rozemyne can do.

    Tuuli needs support, new retainers need to be selected, rumors need to be kept under control, printing has to be spread, graduation and a starbinding have to be planned, some subtly groundbreaking innovations need to be developed, and was Ferdinand's smile always so inviting and his mana so comforting? And why is this list lacking time for reading books?!

    Note: No spoilers for Hannelore's Fifth Year. I handle it with an assumed outcome of “everybody is safe and happy” and keep it deliberately vague for any events and decisions made there.

    Summary

    A series of short stories from the perspective of noble characters primarily about the shifts in politics, people, and events in Yurgenschmidt following the end of the web novel. It carries through for about 5-30 years of the future depending on the particular characters perspective in the short story. Each chapter is a stand alone short story though it all takes place in the same world. The narrative being created is part of the background setting for a main fanfic series that is tentatively called "Scholar to the Gods". I originally intended the chapters to be a prologue but there's a lot of information I wanted to express leading to them becoming stand alone chaptes.
    --SPOILER ALERT--
    Story contains information from untranslated Part 5, the Web Novel, and Hannelore's 5th Year. There may be some divergence in some details of the later parts in the canon material as I have only read the MTL of the Web Novel and H5Y.

    Summary

    Rozemyne, now in her grown-up body, is still the same thoughtless gremlin inside. But things are different for Ferdinand now. In fact, he is struggling to recalibrate on all things pertaining to Rozemyne. So when she puts him to sleep with a blessing, his dreams fluster and confuse him.

    A Ferdinand POV from Web Novel Chapter 635. It takes place soon after that “copy and paste” scene in Ferdinand’s hidden room and just before they leave to fight Lanzenave at the Royal Academy.
