(The manga adaptation is based on the complete version)

Elios, leader of the S-rank party "Dragon's Fangs Entwined," is a formidable warrior possessing the God-given skill "Master Swordsman."

He banishes Aran, one of his party members, who possesses the "Accounting" skill—a notoriously useless skill for an adventurer.

After his banishment, Aran's supposedly useless "Accounting" skill awakens, transforming into the incredible skill "Ruler of Numbers," capable of instantly calculating the optimal solutions for things like magic manipulation and physical movements, and he becomes one of the world's foremost powerhouses.

In stark contrast to Aran, Elios is branded by the public as "an incompetent fool who couldn't see Aran's potential and banished him," and eventually, his party disbands, leaving him disgraced.

However, Elios harbored a secret known to no one.

That besides his "Master Swordsman" skill, he also possessed a second skill, "Guidance (Shirube)," bestowed only upon him.

That because of his "Guidance" skill, he was bound by a harsh fate, forced to repeat his life countless times until he reached the outcome where "the Demon Lord dies."

And for that reason, he repeatedly returned from death, engaging in trial and error, and finally, the signs of Aran's eventual defeat of the Demon Lord were beginning to appear...

And that Aran's banishment was an absolutely necessary act for the subjugation of the Demon Lord...

This is the story of a man who, in the shadow of the illustrious achievements of the hero Aran, who defeated the Demon Lord, by daring to follow an unreasonable fate, changed the destiny of world destruction and left behind immense contributions to the Demon Lord's subjugation—yet, his accomplishments never emerged onto the public stage of history.
