Waking up in a strange new place with no memory of his past life, Kelvin learns that he's bartered away those very memories in exchange for powerful new abilities during his recent transmigration. Heading out into a whole new world as a Summoner—with his first Follower being the very goddess who brought him over.

From the Black Knight of the Ancient Castle of Evil Spirits to the demon within the Hidden Cave of the Sage, he revels in the fight against one foe after another.Characters

Claire
The owner of a tavern Kelvin stayed at until buying his house. She is like a mother to him, and like Gerard, teases him on his collection of cute girls. She taught Efil how to cook.
Tsubaki Fujiwara
The queen of Toraj, a very beautiful and bold woman. She is descended by other-worlders like Kelvin from Japan, which is why the nation resembles Japan heavily. Kelvin came to Toraj to secure rice, which she happily gave them after they caught a band of thieves and defeated a local boss. She is fond of Kelvin as well as Efil's cooking, so much so that she tried to seduce him to stay, but to no avail.
