Description:

Shingo Ichinomiya’s ordinary life is shattered when he wakes up as Wendelin, the eighth son of a poor noble family living on the fringes of the kingdom. Trading his mundane office job for a world of political intrigue and no inheritance, Wendelin must learn to survive. But amidst the chaos, he discovers a hidden talent for magic – a chance for financial security and personal freedom. The series follows Wendelin’s journey to independence through mastering magic, while exploring themes of loneliness and the weight of societal expectations. As he gains power and adapts to his new life, Wendelin realizes he can't escape his past. This fantasy adventure blends coming-of-age story with social commentary, as he fights to shape his own future in a world defined by tradition and privilege.
