When a hardworking merchant is brutally cast aside by his adventuring party for lacking combat skills, his future seems incredibly bleak. Labeling him as useless trash, his former comrades abandon him in an unforgiving environment. However, the crushing despair of this sudden betrayal triggers something extraordinary. He suddenly regains the dormant memories and overwhelming magical knowledge of his past life as an all-powerful sage.

No longer constrained by a weak character class, he combines his sharp business acumen with newly awakened magical supremacy. Rather than obsessing over petty revenge against the arrogant heroes who threw him away, he decides to forge his own path and build a wealthy, comfortable life. Keeping a low profile proves difficult, though, when his casual magic defies the laws of the world and attracts powerful new allies. As he establishes a thriving trading network and effortlessly clears massive dangers, his former party slowly realizes the colossal mistake they made.
