Ten years ago, Weiss Frenberg, "the Imperial Capital's Greatest Sorcerer" who graduated at the top of his class from the Imperial Capital's magic school, vanished without a trace, having left the capital immediately after graduation.

One day, in "Zenith, the City of Villains" – a place said to be inhabited solely by evildoers – Weiss witnesses a young girl of the rare High Elf race, a species thought to be extinct, being sold as a slave.

Weiss names the girl Lily and decides to adopt her as his daughter.

As he raises Lily, Weiss unknowingly transforms into an utterly doting, overprotective parent.

Thus began Weiss's life of obsessively doting parenthood, despite his conviction that he himself is a villain.
