The sorcerer Varvatos has grown too powerful and is no longer recognised as human. With no one who can understand him he decides to reincarnate as an average boy. Reborn as Ard Meteor he hopes to live an ordinary life. Unfortunately magical power and education has declined so while his powers would be considered average in the past in the present he is once again the strongest warrior and sorcerer. Reaching 10 years old Ard hopes to make a friend, but his past as the terrifying Demon Lord means he has no social skills and is seen as creepy by other children. Mayor Olhyde, friend to Ard’s parents, worries his daughter Ireena has become withdrawn after being bullied by her friends for her elf heritage. Ard finds Ireena using magic and offers to teach her, but she runs away. Realising she is Olhyde’s daughter Ard persists in trying to be friends with Ireena. Goblins escape a nearby dungeon and attack Ireena while she is alone in the mountains but Ard saves her. Ireena decides to trust Ard who is happy he finally made a friend. Several years later, as teenagers and best friends, Ireena suggests they join the Academy of Magic. | ||||||
