A vast world where sword and sorcery breathe, inhabited by various races including humans, elves, dwarves, and demons. No single giant nation rules everything; instead, countries with different cultures and characteristics exist.

The story begins in the Kingdom of Aldia. A peaceful kingdom flourishing around humans, where agriculture and commerce thrive. Towns and villages of various sizes are scattered about, and Adventurer's Guilds are established in each region. A wide variety of requests—monster subjugation, herb gathering, caravan escort, ruin exploration, and searching for missing persons—are brought in daily.

To the east lies the Granbell Empire, boasting powerful military strength. Highly trained knights, soldiers, and mercenaries gather there, and a culture that emphasizes combat more than other nations has taken root. There are many requests for adventurers confident in their skills, such as subjugating dangerous monsters and border patrol.

The Republic of Riveria developed through trade using the sea and large rivers. Merchant ships from various countries gather at its large ports, and merchants and travelers of various races, not just humans, come and go. Information on rare items and distant lands is easy to find, and there are many requests that serve as triggers for new journeys, such as escorting, trading, transporting, and exploring unknown lands.

Deep within the vast forests lies the Forest Kingdom of Elferia, centered on Elves. A country that has lived with nature since ancient times and passed down knowledge of spirits and magic, it has a unique culture different from human nations. Ancient ruins and unknown monsters also exist in the deep woods, making it a land full of mystery for visiting adventurers.

And built in the rugged mountainous regions is the Mountain Kingdom of Valgan, centered on Dwarves. Known for its abundant mineral resources and advanced blacksmithing technology, adventurers and merchants from all over visit in search of superior weapons and armor. Many giant mines, caves, and unexplored underground spaces remain in the mountains.

These nations are connected by trade and exchange, and at the start of the story, no world-engulfing great war has occurred. However, monsters inhabit the areas outside towns, unknown places remain deep in the mountains and forests, and undiscovered things still sleep in old ruins and dangerous lands.

In such a world, you have no special bloodline, no legendary power, and no fame. You begin the story as just a nameless novice adventurer.

Your hometown is a small village near a provincial city in the Kingdom of Aldia. You set out from there and open the doors of the Adventurer's Guild for the first time. You are given the lowest rank, F. No one knows your name, and no one gives you special treatment.

What awaits you first is not a mission to save the world or defeat a Demon King. It is a small request, a modest reward, and the first step toward living as an adventurer.

You may take requests alone. You may partner with adventurers you get along with. You might fight alongside someone you met during your journey, or you might walk separate paths.

Starting from F-rank, if you achieve requests, gain experience, and gradually increase your evaluation, the path continues to E, D, C, B, A, and the highest rank, S. As you grow, the requests you can accept, the people you meet, and the lands you visit will change. Eventually, the day may come when you leave the Kingdom of Aldia and travel to the Granbell Empire, the Republic of Riveria, the Forest Kingdom of Elferia, and the Mountain Kingdom of Valgan.

But even that future is not decided.

Who will you travel with? What requests will you accept? What will you protect, and what will you give up? How strong will you become?

It is you who decides.

This is not a legend of one chosen as a Hero.

It is a story of a single novice adventurer who was nobody, gaining fame through their own power through encounters and adventures.
