Synopsis

He WILL protect this town.

Glenn Redwood has longed to become an Adventurer since he was a young boy, and has focused every waking moment since he turned 14 on leveling and growing stronger.

Answering the challenge of the Gods of Luxtera, he has fought Monsters to prove himself again and again. He has earned the right to travel the world and protect its people … but the Gods have other plans.

After they choose Glenn to become a Town Guard, he is charged with protecting his small town and everyone within. His dreams of traveling the world seem all but impossible. Even so, as he upgrades his new Town Guard Class, Glenn learns
that one doesn't need to travel abroad to find challenge, adventure, friendship, and even love.

And the people he wants most strongly to protect may have been in his small village all along.

Goodreads review by Jon

We start Town Guard with Glenn Redwood and his girlfriend Becka killing monsters in the wilds outside of the town of Wolfpine. It's a small town but full of memorable characters for only having 60 people living there in total. Both Glenn and Becka are fifteen, below the age of consent where they can......more
