Embarking on a journey as a reincarnated soul in an alternate realm, bestowed with extraordinary “cheat” abilities, holds its allure. However, the circumstances take a treacherous turn when Reinhart, now known as Hart among newfound companions, faces abandonment in infancy by oblivious royal kin, deeming him devoid of power. Now, the infant must navigate a perilous realm, armed with magic that transcends all conceivable boundaries!
Sumimori initiated the serialization of the tale on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō site in September 2018, and it continues to this day. Ai Takahashi unveiled the manga on Kodansha’s Suiyōbi no Sirius section of the Nico Nico Seiga site in April 2019.
