Magnus is a powerful wizard at a young age, but he was languishing within his party. He couldn't showcase his true abilities because of the Hero who constantly insisted on saying, "Let me give the orders!" Furthermore, the Hero, ignoring his own poor judgment, declared Magnus to be surplus to requirements.

Magnus was overcome with despair... but only for a moment. Through a stroke of luck, he obtained a "strategy guide." This book, written in sacred script which he was the only one in the world to successfully decipher, contained perfect and comprehensive information for defeating the Demon Lord.

However, information is merely information. Magnus, using his own wisdom and ingenuity, innovates and leverages this knowledge, eventually rising to a position where he outmaneuvers the Hero's party!

――Fate did not choose Magnus.

Therefore, he will defeat the Demon Lord and save the world with his own wisdom and power――
