Synopsis
A young man dressed in black wakes up in a forest unfamiliar to him unable to remember who he was. A status screen pops up welcoming him to another world. A voice welcomes him to another world and gestures him to look at the status screen. He sees that his name is Kelvin Celsius and that he's a summoner. The voice suggests for him to go to a nearby town. As he walks, the menu notes that she is one of Kelvin's summons, Melfina the goddess. Kelvin freaks out wondering what he did.

Kelvin learns that he died in an accident and the god responsible asked Melfina to riencarnate him. This wasn't the first time this happened apparently. Kelvin apparently professed his love on the spot and Kelvin is embarassed. They arrive in Parth and Kelvin is asked to get identification papers at the entrance for a small sum of gold.

They arrive at the Adventurer's Guild and Kelvin takes his place in line. When it's his turn, an orange haired girl in pigtails serves him. He set his class as green mage on the paperwork because the summoner was rare and while beasttamer was similar, the summoner was more sought after and there was only one per nation. The receptionist, Ange, give Kelvin his guild ID and explains how he's an F rank now. But when he completes ten jobs in a row, he goes up a rank. At C rank and higher, exams will have to be taken. The four types of jobs were subjugation, escort, harvest and special. Among the starting jobs Kelvin choses to subjugate 3 slimes. He'd need to bring back the slime core as proof that he completed the quest. He gets a wooden rod and heads out.

He finds some slimes and learns how to make contracts from Melfina. He attacks a slime and it goes down to 3 hp. He then forms a contract with it and names it Clotho. Clotho is happy with the name and he's given a brief lesson on how monster summoning works. Clotho is ready to take on the request alongside Kelvin. Kelvin learns how to use green magic from Melfina as Clotho takes down two blue slimes. Kelvin is surprised at how strong Clotho is and learns that it's because he's a level S summoner. Afterwards Kelvin levels up and gets to pick a new skill from a large list.

After completing the request, Kelvin heads to the inn that Ange recommended, the Spirit's Song Inn. The owner, Claire, greets Kelvin and is happy to prepare food and a room. Kelvin is unhappy that there aren't any baths in the inn and vows to get a house with a tub. Kelvin eventually decides on which skill to pick up, Concealment and ranks it up to Rank D. Clotho also gets Absorption while Melfina mentions how some monsters can evolve. Kelvin heads down for dinner.

For the next week Kelvin accepts mostly E rank quest and eventually reaches rank D to the celebration of Ange. She was worried about Kelvin taking higher ranked jobs but asks if he was a court mage. Kelvin can't answer either but promises to run away if the challenge is too great. Ange is relieved but mentions Kelvin should invest in some better gear. Kelvin agrees as an adventurer requests that he take on a Black Spirit Knight. The adventurer is named Cashel and he's a rank D adventurer. The adventurers in the guild become moody and they begin whispering. Cashel decides to join Kelvin in taking down the Black Spirit Knight but Ange pleas for Kelvin to reconsider because of the possible strength of the beast. Kelvin checks Cashel's stats and his title gives him a red flag. Kelvin decides to take on the request but decides to compete against Cashel and his party. Cashel agrees and while Ange freaks out, Kelvin is ready to test his skills.

In the alley, Cashel talks with his party members for the last two years, Gimul and Raj, and how they'll crush Kelvin. They think about how they killed low rank adventurers to raise thier rank before heading to the castle. They head into the castle while not realizing that Gimul's attempt to analyze Kelvin would be thier downfall. Kelvin himself sells the wooden rod and gets a green staff. He also sells his traveler's clothes for a magic robe. He learns through Presence Sensing that Cashel's party didn't do anything suspicious in town. He also analyzes thier skills.

Kelvin takes out the room of zombies as Cashel's party arrives and waits in the room. They're surprised by Kelvin being there and quickly catch on that he set a trap for them. He provokes Raj into attacking him first only to trap him with Mud Bind. Kelvin uses Wind Strike to attack them. Raj tanks it while Gimul and Cashel dodge. Gimul begins running off so Kelvin stops him by summoning Clotho who had evolved into a Slime Gluttonia during a subjugation request. He learns about unique skills and the fact that Melphina reincarnated a hero who defeated a Slime Gluttonia that nearly took out Toraj.

Back in the present, Clotho knocks out Gimul. Raj breaks out of the pit and decides to take on Clotho while Cashel takes on Kelvin. Raj fights well but can't beat Clotho. Cashel reveals that he killed adventurers to get even more experience but can't get past Kelvin's earthen rampart. Kelvin takes him down with Vortex edge and takes his sword. Kelvin heads inside the chamber and faces the Black Spirit Knight, Gerard Fragarach. Kelvin decides to recruit the Black Spirit Knight instead of killing him. Gerard is surprised and laughs which surprises Kelvin. Gerard then has a conversation which further surprises Kelvin.

Eventually Gerard agrees to the contract if Kelvin fights him. Before they fight Gerard talks about his past, how his kingdom of Alcahl fell and how angry he was about it. After a tough fight, Kelvin accepts Gerard as a summon and gives a piece of his armor to the guild to complete the quest. He then has a meeting with the guildmaster, Leo, who learns that he's a summoner thanks to his appraising eye.

After a conversation, Leo decides to support Kelvin and promote him to rank B in exchange for staying in Parth. Kelvin decides to buy a servant from the slave trader. He finds an elf girl that catches his eye but she has the Curse of the Flame Dragon King on her. Kelvin decides to get the Sacred Bless spell needed for it's removal and buys her. Her name is revealed to be Efil and once Kelvin breaks ther curse, she's very grateful. After cleaning her up with magic, Kelvin takes her back to the inn. Claire gets her new clothes but Kelvin couldn't get a seperate room. He does explain to her how his party works while Efil learns that her curse was now a blessing.

After a month, Efil had grown accustomed to battle. She was an archer using fire magic in the Dark Purple Forest while also having points in sewing and cooking. Kelvin got the blacksmithing skill too and together they took down the Wicked Sagetree. Ange confirmed thier request while reminising about Efil's Class C test. Ange ends up asking Efil to go out the following day and Efil encourages Kelvin to join them. Kelvin agrees since Melfina went on a business trip. On thier date, Kelvin ends up getting attention when both girls try to feed him. The prince of Trycen, Tabura, tries to spoil it but Kelvin silences him and his two escorts. Efil thanks Kelvin as they go to bed for the night.

Melfina talks with the priestess of the Holy Empire of Deramis and learns that the heroes aren't progressing as fast as Kelvin. She returns as Kelvin's team is playing cards so Kelvin shows off his blacksmithing skill and Melfina promises to bless Kelvin when she's summoned successfully. They're eventually tasked by Rio to take care of a demon in the Hermit's Cave in exchange for keeping quiet about Tabura getting pushed around by Kelvin. Gerard gets a new shield and cape while Kelvin gets a robe from Efil.

They meet up with Urd outside the dungeon before going in and Kelvin uses the story that he made Gerard's armor from the remains of the Black Spirit Knight to hide the fact that he was that very monster. As they head in, they notice the lack of monsters and find two sources of life in the upcoming room. They find one of them right away, a female demon chained up. Another demon comes in and introduces himself as Viktor, the archdemon. Kelvin gets excited and Gerard notices right away. Viktor introduces the girl as Sera Baal, the secret daughter of the previous demon king, as a barrier comes up around the room. He claims to eat them and use thier human characteristics to undo the seal and become the next demon king with his unique skill Gluttony. Kelvin gets excited again revealing that he's a battle junkie.

The party starts by taking down the Hades army that Viktor summons. Gerard then clashes with Viktor in a smokescreen while Kelvin and Clotho use magic absorption. Kelvin takes the time to use Glory Sanctuary and as Viktor tries to counterattack, Efil snipes him with her Blaze Arrow. Viktor blocked it using a combination of Danger Sensing and his right hand. Gerard cuts off the left arm just as glory sanctuary wears off. He uses Djinn Scrimage to transform but the physical damage is blocked by Agito, Pyrohydra and Loyalty. Viktor then attacks but Gerard blocks it along with Kelvin's Earthen Rampart. Gerard blacks out but the others fight on (including a cursed sword rain from Clotho). Eventually a triple attack from Efil's Blaze arrow, Kelvin's Radiant Lance and Clotho's take him down and revert Viktor to his previous forms.

Kelvin takes the opportunity to ask about Viktor's relationship with Sera and Viktor reveals that he cares for her and that Gustav entrusted her to him. He hoped to revive her at a peaceful time and asked for the group to befriend Sera and show her the world. He passes on and Kelvin removes Sera's seal. She awakens in tears while calling Viktor and her father idiots. They give thier story to the mage that set up the barrier that Sera was possessed by the demon thanks to a Clip of Camouflage in her possession. They manage to hide Gerard's evolution from Urd and the others by running into the outskirts of Parth. Sera is initially nervous but then takes to the town like a child after wearing a Tailor Made Outfit made by Efil. Kelvin is promoted to Rank A because of the quest and a party is thrown at the spirit's song inn. Even Gerard participates because his evolution gives him a physical body. Melfina comes up with an idea for Kelvin to summon her. Kelvin and Efil make Sera some new equipment from Viktor's remains including Arondight and Queen's Terror while also getting Gerard a purified cursed sword known as Demon Sword Dainsleif. Kelvin gets set of gauntlets known as Skill Eater and a new robe while Efil gets the Merciless bow.
