A little over a hundred years ago, the relatively young kingdom of Blueyerd summoned a hero to their realm from another world. This hero was dubbed Lord Might and became a legendary figure. He led a war against a neighboring country, fought off dangerous creatures coming out of the unexplored regions beyond the borders and even quelled a rebellion. Countries came to fear Blueyerd for its newfound might and the kingdom ended an era of prosperity. Then one day, Might vanished. Time erodes many things and the kingdom once again faces many dangers and threats from outside the kingdom. Our story starts several days after a new hero was summoned to this world. Unfortunately for the kingdom, they did not get another charismatic fighter but instead they got a young woman with anxiety and no real obvious fighting prowess. The court mages dubbed her “Lady Mana” and sent her off – accompanied by the third prince – to travel the land and learn all she could. Now it’s up to Cobal Blueyerd to figure out a way forward, and it doesn’t seem like his new companion is particularly motivated to become a hero.
