Synopsis:
Transported to a realm of medieval fantasy, Claude C. Kenni finds himself far from his home aboard the starship Calnus. On Expel, a planet steeped in swordsmanship and arcane power, he encounters a world grappling with unpredictable phenomena emanating from the Sorcery Globe – a mysterious meteorite impacting the planet's stability.
Alongside Rena Lanford, who believes him to be a prophesied hero, Claude navigates this unfamiliar landscape. Their investigation into the Sorcery Globe reveals a complex web of ancient conflicts and forgotten powers. The series explores themes of destiny versus free will as Claude confronts his unexpected role in Expel’s fate while adapting to a society vastly different from his own. It presents a thoughtful exploration of cultural collision, responsibility, and the burden of expectation within a richly detailed fantasy setting.
