“Every person has an equal amount of 8 skill holder slots. There are normal skills such as【Physical Strength】which takes up 1 slot, but there are also rare skills which take up 4 to 5 slots, or even rarer ones which take up all 8 slots.”... more>>

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

Why? I have no idea.

I just woke up here.

I’ve read a lot of web novels and normally you would have ended up in the body of the protagonist with outstanding talent or the tr*sh child of some rich and famous family.

15 years ago the world discovered magic as well as mythical beings (basically beings from various legends) in another dimension. Humankind learned to summon these dangerous mythical beings and use their power to great effect. Seven countries formed contracts with these “mythical beings” and gained their allegiance as a result. The mythical beings will choose their summoners on their 14th birthday and give them a stigma. Schools have been set up to train summoners and magical swordsman (basically bodyguards that give the summoners time to cast their spell) as a result.... more>>

15 years later after the finding of magic Kazuki Hayashizaki is chosen as a summoner and given a stigma to indicate that. This is surprising since males aren’t chosen as summoners due to their low amount of mana compared to females. As the first male to be a summoner Kazuki is under a lot of scrutiny by almost everyone.

To complicate matters his sister (who’s a magical swordsman) is against him going into summoner school to train there as a summoner. Because summoners and magical swordsman have a cat mouse thing going on where summoners look down on magical swordsman as inferior so his sister naturally is against him going there. She’ll stop him even if it means going to war.

Kazuki however is determined to thrive in summoner school and has already determined to give it his all. Even if he’s the lowest ranked student (ranked E) and his fellow students intend to demean him he’ll prove himself as the strongest summoner. <<less
