[participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge]

Fern has always known weakness, and in a world with only enough mouths for the strong, he never expected to truly see adulthood after his home village was razed by a monster of untold might.

This still doesn't change when he encounters a power of untold potential, capable of bringing him from mediocre to legendary if given the right chance to grow.

With the lowest level of martial talent that a mortal can possibly still have and remain human, he trudges on, despite it all, animated by a singular wish.
