Tom and The Five Muscular Generals - A Journeys to Magic Sidestory

Tom Baldur wakes up alone on a beach with no memories, a mysterious magic ring on his finger, and a demon willing to kill him for it. Before he can even figure out who he is, he's rescued by an unlikely group: the legendary Five Muscular Generals of King Arthur's Guard. They're heroes.They're war commanders.They're terrifyingly gigantic and full o’ glorious muscle! And for some reason... …they've decided to adopt him. Now, Tom must survive a crazy training regimen that would break ordinary soldiers and uncover his lost past through the pandemonium of a continent-spanning conspiracy. The only problem? He's, well, painfully average. While the Five Muscular Generals can run twenty miles before breakfast, crush boulders with their bare hands, and inspire entire armies simply by existing, Tom struggles epically to finish warmups without collapsing. Yet somewhere beneath his forgotten memories lies a secret powerful enough to draw the attention of demons and black magic cults—and perhaps change the fate of the world itself. If the training doesn't kill him first.

Many cultures and heroic stories remain untold throughout these mythical lands, and cannot be covered in the main story; thus, the purpose of these side stories! While I recommend you take a look at the mainline series here first, this is a standalone story and can be read on its own.
