The second told of Isaac risking an adventure to trade with the God of Black Orcs, wheedling information about the black orcs' autumn raid from It and giving the fortress time to prepare.
The third told of Isaac using exquisite disguise techniques to fool the God of Black Orcs, borrowing Its power to annihilate a massive number of black orcs in one stroke and completely resolve the crisis of their invasion!
The three stories could only be called mediocre. Mainly because there was far too much fiction in them—so much that they sounded absurd at a glance.
