Cast out by his family after receiving the supposedly useless Heavy Knight class, Elma discovers that his new world follows the rules of a game he mastered in his previous life. Everyone else sees a failed swordsman, but he knows the class has extraordinary potential. Armed with an understanding of skills, equipment, and enemy weaknesses, he sets out to turn exile into an opportunity and prove just how powerful a Heavy Knight can become.
