Until the time of him becoming the master of the lowest rank in the order of rankings, the lonely side of his life without luck was changed.

In the era of steam and mystery, becoming a correspondence student at the Thaumatology Academy was something Shad never thought of.

Striking the melody of the next era.

Came here through the gate of time,

Shad put down his suitcase,

Look at the silvery moonlight overhead.
