Someone once became the last one to wield a knife that could decapitate huge dragons and bathed in dragons’ blood.

Someone once moved mountains and shifted hills with just one brush, his paintings so captivating it could enchant immortals and deities. That year, the warmth of spring made the flowers bloom. They were merely an ordinary butcher, a bookworm, a chicken farmer and a poor artist. This is the story of how a Low Level Martial World Continent was transformed into the Ultimate Fantasy Universe. <<less

33-year-old single and virg*n Ryosuke woke up one morning to find himself summoned to another world. The Taliendarin Kingdom, his destination, had recently put an end to the battle with the demon race. Furthermore, the hero was supposed to marry the king’s daughter, Leticia and the country was in great excitement.... more>>

Did they really need to summon me to such a country?

Ryosuke was bewildered by the sudden turn of events, but both the hero and the princess had serious expressions on their faces.

“Let me be direct. We would like you to have a child with the princess, Leticia.”

Ryosuke was left dumbfounded by the words that came from the hero’s mouth. In reality, the hero had been cursed in the final battle with the demon race. Due to this curse, he could not have children with Leticia, whom he loved more than anyone. Leticia, who was not only the princess but also the saintess who fought alongside the hero, was about to being used for political purposes. To ensure that she wasn’t, she absolutely needed to have a child with the hero.

For the sake of the princess who had made up her mind, Ryosuke nodded in agreement with the hero’s words.

“But I don’t have much experience, you know…”

“Don’t worry. With the power of the saintess, I will enchant you with several abilities.”

Ryosuke, who was granted the special skills ‘Endless Energy’, ‘Supreme Technique’ and the specialized ability ‘Sturdy Sperm EX’ started working on making children with Leticia night after night from that day forward. <<less

“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
