Originating from the popular light novel by Kenkyo na Circle and illustrated by Meru, the series has gained immense popularity with over 4.3 million copies sold in both print and online formats. The storyline follows the journey of an ordinary sorcerer who, lacking bloodline and aptitude, dies in a duel but finds himself reincarnated as Lloyd, the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Saloum.

The story takes place in an isekai where monsters and demons dwell. The main character Lloyd possesses mana so immense that those who’re well versed in sorcery fear him. In this tale, we see him continue to grow as he studies sorcery as much as he pleases and tries to perfect it. He’s also a little happy-go-lucky, though he exhibits overwhelming power. This 7th prince’s carefree reincarnation story filled with exhilarating and impressive sorcery battles now begins!

“I just want to enjoy sorcery. That’s all.”
