The story centers around Rick Gladiator, a guild clerk with a dream to become a skilled adventurer. While conventional wisdom dictates that one should embark on this path at a young age to develop magical abilities, Rick’s journey commences at the age of 30.
His exceptional fighting prowess stems from his association with the legendary party, Orichalcum Fist, comprising the most formidable adventurers in the realm. Under the tutelage of “Monster-class” masters, ranging from dragons to vampires, Rick faces off against elite adventurers one after another.
The series’ source material, authored by Kiraku Kishima and featuring illustrations by Tea (known for “Villainess Level 99”), made its debut with the first novel volume published by HJ Novels in December 2018.
