Ichinomiya Shingo, an everyday twenty-five-year-old office worker, wakes up as Wendelin, the 8th son of an impoverished noble family out in the sticks. He soon despairs at his lack of succession rights and knowledge to navigate the political world, but finds hope in his aptitude for magic. This is the story of that young man earning his keep and his freedom through magic, with no world saving involved, and spending quite a while escaping his solitude. Ultimately, it is also the story of him being unable to escape the shackles of society.
Season 1
The story begins when a 25‑year‑old office worker, Shingo Ichinomiya, inexplicably wakes up in the body of a five‑year‑old child named Wendelin von Benno Baumeister, the eighth son of a poor noble family in a fantasy world. Though he’s born into nobility, Wendelin’s family is impoverished, which leaves him with very limited prospects. Soon he discovers he possesses an extraordinary talent for magic—something rare in his setting—and this becomes his path to improving his status.
