A Glimpse into the Story
In this tale, we follow Yuke, a red mage, who decides to leave his longtime party, Thunder Pike, due to ongoing conflicts and disrespectful interactions. While seeking new opportunities, he reconnects with his former students—Marina, Silk, and Rain—and elects to join their party, Clover. Inspired by their admiration and belief in him as their teacher, Yuke embarks on a thrilling journey of quests demonstrating his exceptional magical prowess. As their fame grows through an "adventure broadcast" by the mystical artifact Camelot, their target becomes clear: conquer the ominous Achromatic Darkness, the ultimate dungeon. As they navigate various challenges, they discover they’re playing a critical role in events that could potentially impact the entire world.
