Overview
The genre is game world trip.

It is a story that the strongest hero plays an active part with overwhelming strength, and the struggle is only twice in the final stage. There are many heroines, but most of them are in the air. The content of the book version is completely different, and it is significantly weakened compared to the version that will be the main character.

It surprised the people of Thread because the level was so high that it was incomparable to the version with no text. As an aside, this seems to be the editorial policy of Hero Bunko, as the main character tends to be weakened or the enemy is strengthened in other works published by Hero Bunko.

In addition, the high circulation of 60,000 copies in the first edition became a hot topic. In Naro Thread, it is often called a "barista", which is derived from the overwhelming violence of the barista in the work.

Pedra, a mysterious beauty near Michael, the lord of the Schneider family, notices Marius's magical power and invites her to her laboratory.
