Premise Two centuries have passed since a hero defeated the evil Jaryu and saved the world. In one of the many dungeon cities, Raust, a healer, is unjustly kicked out of his party for being too weak. Scorned by other Adventurers because of his new reputation as an "incompetent", he is unable to form or join a new adventuring party and struggles to find his place. Amidst despair he meets martial artist Narusena who immediately invites him to form a new party together. Since Raust does have experience and a great many other hidden talents, he agrees, and with a fresh start and renewed motivation the two begin their journey to greatness.
