At twenty, a reclusive teenager is abruptly whisked from his apartment and finds himself before a deity who offers him a fresh start. The goddess bestows upon him immense magical prowess, yet when he awakens as the newborn Prince Reinhardt in this alternate realm his abilities are capped at Level 2. Deeming him a failure, the royal parents abandon him in the forest. There he meets Flay, a Flame Fenrir who vows to serve him, and takes the name Haruto. A distant relative, Gold Zenfis, encounters them in the woods and decides to adopt the orphan.
Nine years later, Haruto lives with the Zenfis household. His command of barrier magic grows each day, though he prefers to conceal it and let his family think he is frail. When Charlotte, his younger sister, uncovers his true power, Haruto and Flay rally to shield her and the rest of the Zenfis clan from danger. A looming conspiracy threatens the kingdom, yet Haruto would rather stay indoors binge‑watching anime; still he realizes that protecting the family who raised him will require his hidden talents. He dreams of simple days, but destiny pulls him toward the battles that await.
