The display rack is brimming with worn paperbacks featuring an extremely muscular, sword-wielding barbarian on the cover. Nearly all the titles contain the word Hjelmdall somewhere.

Mountains of it. Heroic quantities of Hjelmdall. Roy's puny shirt is nothing compared to the real deal.

"Oh, Man from Hjelmdall. A very popular series of adventure novels." She looks at the book with some disdain. "They're awfully immoral and violent books."

"He's a 'hero' from the frozen northlands. He travels to all sorts of lands and mainly kills people. There are hundreds of books in the series... and they sell incredibly well."

It's pulp adventure. Takes place in a faux-mythological non-place called Hjelmdall. There is no such region on the Katla isola.

"Blood and violence, scantily clad women, epic narratives, all those mystical things he encounters. They're bound to grab those with little imagination and nothing to do."

"At last, someone sensible..." She fiddles with her pendant. "However, I still urge you to buy one. Can't judge a book by the cover, they say!"

"If you're a novice of the series, I'd recommend 'Hjelmdallermann: the Man from Hjelmdall.' It's supposed to be a good introduction to the series."

"What does it matter? They're all the same." She rolls her eyes, then fiddles with her pendant. "However, the customer is always right, they say."

Your hand reaches toward a book with glossy cover art of the very muscular Man from Hjelmdall -- in chains -- kneeling in front of a staircase leading to a throne. A woman sits on the throne, leering at the man.

Between the throne and the Hjelmdallermann lies a bonfire, casting shadows on the wall. The shadow of the woman's head-dress looks like a pair of devil horns. The title reads: "Man from Hjelmdall and the Devil Woman".

Especially those leering types who seem to wear nothing but an armoured bikini. There's also some sort of a snake-lizard beast slithering around her abdomen-chest-shoulder region.

Rows and rows of Hjelmdallermenn blur your vision. You make out some titles: "Man from Hjelmdall and the Mammoth-Riders", "Man from Hjelmdall: Return to Hjelmdall", and the solipsistic "Man From Hjelmdall and the Hjelmdall Man."

Not even close! "Man from Hjelmdall in Hell", "Man from Hjelmdall and the Forest of Slaves", "Man from Hjelmdall Under the Lake", "Man from Hjelmdall: Hjelmdall Burning". There's even "The Trial of Death", a Pasternal combat game book set in the world of Hjelmdallermann, and so much more.
