Synopsis
After 120 idle years, high elf Aesir leaves home to finally explore the world he barely knows.
Aesir’s already spent 120 years of his new life as a high elf living the lackadaisical lifestyle one would expect from him. It’s about all he can take. With much more time than he knows what to do with, he decides to set off and explore the world he’s spent a century in and still knows nothing about. (Source: Earth Star Entertainment, translated)
