Despite being the only one capable of gathering the rarest alchemy materials, Lloyd is constantly berated by his childhood friend Ruby, the genius alchemist. His low success rate in collecting common ingredients makes him the laughingstock of the entire kingdom, treated as nothing more than dead weight. Enduring daily scoldings and a life of humiliation, Lloyd reaches his breaking point and decides to leave it all behind.
What no one realizes is that the materials Lloyd gathers—though few in number—are impossibly rare treasures beyond anyone else’s reach. Now free from the toxic environment, the former assistant mage, once seen as useless even by himself, sets out to pursue the peaceful, slow life he’s always dreamed of in a quiet border town.
