Introduction

Rank, an S-rank mage in the hero's party, was engaged in a fierce battle with hero Eric and warrior Goran to defeat the Demon King in the dimensional rift.

To avoid the annihilation of his comrades, Rank resolved to continue fighting the enemy alone and shouted:

"Go on ahead, leave this to me!"

After continuing an unimaginably lonely battle, Rank finally defeated the Demon King.

However, by the time he returned to his original world, "10 years" had passed, and Rank had become a legend as the great hero who saved the world at the cost of his own life.

His appearance having been made younger by the effects of the battle, Rank hides his true identity and lives as F-rank adventurer Rock with his former comrades and new companions.
