Synopsis

Lloyd is a teenage boy and budding adventurer from the remote town of Kunlun, which is known for its extremely powerful heroes and which sits next to the world’s most dangerous dungeon. Considered a weakling in his town compared to everyone else, he is determined to get stronger in order to realize his dream of becoming a soldier and decides to leave his hometown to travel to the capital city of Azami, where he begins living with a haughty but clumsy witch named Marie. Much to his surprise, he quickly discovers that he’s not a weakling at all, and compared to everyone else in Azami he’s actually vastly overpowered!
