Lin Qi transmigrated.

His only wish? Study magic and find a way home.

To save up for research expenses, he became the lowest-ranked adventurer—living a chill, salted-fish lifestyle.

What no one knew was that the “light spell” he casually slapped together could permanently blind a dragon, and his “cleanse spell” could purify an entire undead plague.

Everything changed during one escort mission.

His caravan was ambushed by Abyssal Demons.

Just as hope ran out, and to save a certain proud (and kind of dumb) elf girl, Lin Qi impatiently flung out a wind blade.

Next second—

The sky turned black, the earth trembled, and both the demons and half a mountain vanished.

Dead silence.

The elven genius girl, Liya, stared at him in shock, her pretty face pale as her worldview collapsed.

From that day forward, Lin Qi’s peaceful life was over.

“Mr. Lin Qi, what a coincidence! You’re herb-picking in the Misty Forest too?”

Liya blushed, clutching a map covered in his tracked movements.

“Oh my god! He one-shotted an S-class beast!”

“No way! That’s ancient magic! Who is this guy?!”

As the world freaked out—and the elf girl clung tighter—

Lin Qi sighed, frustrated:

“I told you… I’m just a regular guy trying to get home.”
