Banaza, a merchant, has doubts about a world with racial discrimination. One day, he's summoned to The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode in another world as a hero candidate. However, his level 1 abilities and stats are on par with those of ordinary citizens.

Banaza has begun his new life as Flio, but right off the bat, he's challenged by Fenrys, the sister of a member of the Dark One's Infernal Four. Flio knows he can't beat such a powerful foe in physical combat, so he starts testing out his new spells...

Balirossa is disappointed that she was of no help in the Dark Army's attack on Flio and Fenrys. As she's training on her own in the forest to get stronger, a mysterious man approaches and says he's looking for an old friend...

As Flio and company are beginning their new life near the town of Houghtow, an all-out attack by the Dark Army endangers Klyrode's very existence, forcing the king to make a decision.

The princess has learned that Flio's true identity is Banaza. She pays him a visit to apologize for the unfair treatment he's received from the kingdom, and to ask him to protect small towns from the Dark Army as the true hero.
