Lloyd serves as the assistant mage to Ruby, a genius alchemist and his childhood friend. Despite his dedicated efforts, he suffers from an abnormally low material gathering rate, rendering him seemingly useless in the eyes of his peers. This perceived incompetence turns him into the laughingstock of the entire nation, burdened daily by Ruby’s relentless scolding and emotional abuse. Unable to endure such a toxic and despairing environment any longer, Lloyd finally makes the difficult decision to sever all ties with her and walk away from their partnership. However, what neither Ruby nor anyone else realizes is the extraordinary truth behind Lloyd’s supposed failure. The materials he manages to gather are not ordinary—they are exceptionally high-grade resources that no one else in the world is capable of obtaining. Unbeknownst to everyone who mocked him, his rare successes hold unparalleled value that could shift the balance of alchemical power. Now freed from the constant harassment and false label of incompetence, the former assistant mage sets out on a new path. Leaving behind the ridicule and the brilliant but cruel alchemist who belittled him, Lloyd journeys to a quiet frontier town. There, armed with his unique and unrecognized talents, he seeks nothing more than the peaceful, easygoing life he has always deserved.
