Beautiful and brilliant sorcerer girls just can't have nice things, huh? All I wanted to do was swipe a little bit of bandit treasure. Now suddenly I'm being chased around by icky trolls, nasty demons, mean mummies, and brooding golem bad boys. Wait, what?! No! This sounds like work! Great, and now we've got demons stalking us and spike-shooting wolves pouring in through the windows! Guess I'll have to clean up this mess before I get my R&R... I'll show them there's a reason you don't cross Lina Inverse... Hey! You! Whaddaya mean you don't know who I am? You've never heard of me before? The great genius, Lina Inverse? Why not? I'm beautiful, talented, and the best mage around! Then again, this lunkhead swordsman Gourry wasn't aware of me at first either, and now we're travelling together. At least the legendary Rezo the Red Priest knew who he was dealing with. But who's this dude made of rocks? And ugh, another overenthusiastic do-gooder. Listen, just buy the book and it'll tell you all about my incredible adventures and heroic deeds. Put it back on the shelf and I'll hit you with a Fireball, got it?
