synopsis
Rumo is a little Wolperting who will one day become the greatest hero in the history of Zamonia. Armed with Dandelion, his talking sword, he fights his way across Overworld and Netherworld, very different worlds chock-full of adventures, dangers, and unforgettable characters. These include Rala, the beautiful girl Wolperting who cultivates a hazardous relationship with death, General Ticktock, the evil commander of the Copper Killers, Ushan DeLucca, the finest and most weather-sensitive swordsman in Zamonia, Professor Abdullah Nightingale, inventor of the Chest-of-Drawers Oracle, and, worst luck, the deadly Metal Maiden.
