It centers on Arel, who, despite being born to a powerful Sword Princess and Archmage, receives no class or skills from the goddess at age ten, a revelation that typically dictates one’s life path. Arel must instead rely on his determination and natural talents to achieve greatness, becoming a unique kind of hero. The manga adaptation of the novels is illustrated by Akio Nanae and is available in English from One Peace Books.
