Synopsis
Rejected by a hero's party, Wazu trains for two years and returns to find his childhood friend engaged to the hero who mocked him.
Wazu's life was forever changed when he was rejected by the hero's party and forced to leave his hometown. Once a weak, ordinary boy, he spent two years training alone in the mountains to prove his worth. Now, stronger and determined, Wazu returns to a world that has moved on—only to find his childhood friend, Aria, engaged to the hero who once mocked him. Heartbroken, Wazu embarks on a new journey, facing misunderstandings, new relationships, and the challenge of finding his place in a world that has changed. (Source: Titan Comics)
