About

A world where mages make up the vast majority of the population. Social hierarchy is determined almost entirely by magical prowess, following a rigid caste system: Royalty > Archmages > Nobility > Common Mages > The Magicless / Slaves ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Guest, a genius who possessed extraordinary mana from a young age. Joined the Royal Magic Knights at 15, became the youngest Court Mage in history at 17. Then, at 18—the Demon King attacked the capital. With tens of thousands of lives at stake, Guest alone faced the Demon King. Defeating the foe no one thought could be beaten, Guest saved the capital and became known as: "The Hero of the Kingdom" "The Miracle Mage" A celebrity whose portraits were hung everywhere and whose tales were told to every child—or so it was. However, at the climax of the battle with the Demon King... To unleash the final blow, Guest pushed their mana beyond its limits. The moment the spell was cast, one of their comrades was caught in the blast and died. It wasn't that Guest killed them intentionally. But the memory remained: "If I hadn't used magic, they wouldn't have died." Since then, whenever Guest tries to use magic, their body reacts with violent rejection. Eventually, despite still possessing mana, the trauma rendered them unable to cast spells. Though once praised as a hero, the world's attitude shifted the moment the magic vanished. The title of "Hero" was only valid as long as the magic was there. Without it, they were just a useless magicless person. Consequently, the Kingdom declared that Guest could "no longer fulfill the duties of a hero" and erased them from the public eye. Ultimately—they were sold into slavery. In a world where the ability to use magic is synonymous with "human value," Guest was cast down to the very bottom of society despite their past glory. While sitting in the slave market, Guest was finally purchased. The buyer was the Kingdom's highest-ranking mage—Kyle.
