Despite being one of Zebrudia's few level 8 treasure hunters and the leader of the capital's top party, Grieving Souls, Krai Andrey does not deserve his prominent reputation. Everything he says somehow turns prophetic, which convinces everyone around him that he possesses unfathomable wisdom regardless of his utter incompetence. Krai knows his success is only a series of coincidences, but the weight of those expectations grows heavier as time goes by. Unfortunately, as the other members of the Grieving Souls continue to shock the world with their achievements, Krai's wish for a peaceful retirement drifts ever further out of reach.

In this world, the concept of levels exist. Other than those who live off defeating monsters, most people are only around level 1 to 5. What's more, not just anyone can go out to hunt monsters; it's heavily influenced by one's role anointed by God. There are eight such eligible roles. Warrior. Fighter. Cleric. Magician. Rogue. Merchant. Hunter. Sorcerer. Those blessed with extraordinary power are divided into three types. Royalty. Heroes. Sages. But for the majority of the population, they have no such powers and live by farming or running shops. Towns are developed by those with the weakest role...villagers. For the powerless villagers going out to hunt monsters is equivalent to committing suicide. But one day, a certain two-year-old child given the role of villager notices something. Once you defeat a monster... you can earn great wealth.

The sorcerer Luck believes this to be the end. Besieged by powerful demons, he makes the noble sacrifice of holding back their onslaught while his friends escape. Never sleeping or resting, Luck endures the clash of swords, rain of blood, and never-ending stream of enemies. Against all odds, he vanquishes the commander and emerges victorious, only to find that 10 whole years have passed in the meantime. Furthermore, his body has regressed in age to the point where he looks like a mere teenager. Following his triumph, Luck soon reunites with his friends, the hero Eric Imgard Mendirival and warrior Goran Morton. As they believed Luck to be dead, the pair made sure he went down in history as a hero and prepared to quell the rise of the demons themselves, unaware of Luck's feat. With all this in mind, Luck just wants a laid-back life, so he applies as a novice adventurer under the name Lock and sets out on a journey alongside brand new companions. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
