The devoted blade artist, known as the Sword God, met his end in a battle against the legendary Dragon God. As his life ebbed away, he gazed in wonder at the magical prowess of the great creature. He made a final request to the Dragon God for the power to wield magic and with his last breath, he received it. However, there was a catch - he was transported to a different realm and reborn as an ordinary man named Souma.
Despite this setback, the Sword God, who secretly retained his formidable skills, resolved to master the art of magic. His purpose was clear - to become an accomplished practitioner of sorcery.
