Synopsis:

In a world where magic is commonplace, Louie, a physically strong but inexperienced mage's guild student, finds himself unexpectedly thrust into an adventuring life. He joins a group comprised of Merrill, a cunning rogue; Genie, a powerful combatant; and Melissa, a devoted priestess. Together, this unlikely quartet navigates ancient ruins, confronting dangerous entities while forging unexpected bonds. Their explorations gradually reveal a growing darkness within the kingdom's established order – a hidden conspiracy that threatens to unravel the peace. The series explores themes of belonging, self-discovery, and the responsibility that comes with power, set against a backdrop of fantastical landscapes and challenging encounters. It offers a character-driven narrative focused on camaraderie and the gradual unfolding of a larger, more complex world.
