Ludger was supposed to be just another forgotten soul, reborn into a quiet life under the care of his young mother, Elaine. With nothing but a mysterious system in his vision and the faint promise of growth, he resigned himself to learning the humble trade of cooking.

That is, until one reckless night in the tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever. Marked by the system as a prodigy, Ludger finds himself juggling ...

While barbarians were getting ready to continue the invasion, adults argued and soldiers postured, Ludger with a system in his eyes realized something far more unsettling: if trouble kept coming time and time again, someone would have to meet it head-on.

Unfortunately for Ludger, the man was also a former guildmaster. Between half-coherent lessons, improvised training, and near-fatal “practical demonstrations, ...
