Year 526 of the Liturgical Calendar.... more>>

The world knew that witches existed, and that they practiced the notorious art of sorcery.

Nevertheless, the world did not know anything about the study of magic.

Our story follows a half-man, half-beast mercenary; humans mockingly call his kind the “fallen beasts”.

He always dreamt of becoming a human, but one day, he met a witch who would change his life forever.

“Do you desire a human form? Then be my escort, mercenary!”

The witch introduced herself as “Zero”, and explained that she was searching for a one-of-a-kind magical tome that bandits had stolen from her lair. Entitled “The Book of Zero”, the grimoire supposedly contained valuable magical knowledge that could be used to effortlessly bring the world to its knees.

Thus, in order to realize his dream of becoming a human, the mercenary must accompany Zero on her journey—despite her being one of the witches he so loathed.

This is the story of a haughty sorceress and a kindhearted beast. <<less

Is what old man Hinga taught me at the Orb Mine, where skill orbs are unearthed. But we “s*aves” could not acquire skills due to Contract Magic, thus s*aves had no future.

On one fateful day, the noble who owned the mine, that is, our “Master”, came to visit the Orb Mine. Due to a sudden earthquake, the ceiling collapsed, rocks fell directly on the noble’s head, and he died. At that moment, our contract magic disappeared.

The clever s*aves ran straight to the warehouse where the skill orbs were stored. They absorbed rare skill orbs, and used their newfound abilities and magic to defeat the guards and escape from the mine. It was a riot. I was too late to pick up a skill orb.

“–It’s over. I will be forced back into being a s*ave,” I despaired.

But just then, I saw a skill orb that shouldn’t exist. An orb which used 10 skill holder slots -【All Things In Creation 《World Ruler》】. A non-standard skill orb that would be of no interest to anyone but researchers because no soul in the world could use it. However, I was able to absorb【World Ruler】

Why? That’s because I was a “reincarnated person”. I had 8 more skill holder slots than an average person, for a total of 16 slots. The mine is besieged and there is only one exit. A mysterious skill【World Ruler】in my hand.

What do I do now? <<less
