The Strongest Sage: The Story of a Talentless Man Who Mastered Magic and Became the Best summary: Gaius may have had a crest that was not ideal for fighting, but he devoted his life to the pursuit of magic and eventually rose to become the most dominant mage in the world. Even though he knew his own limitations, he sought out more formidable adversaries. This led him on a quest to assemble a group of worthy allies who could challenge the strongest battle mage. The team he assembled included Iris, a young girl who embodied the Dragon of Darkness; Yuril, the most powerful sorceress in the kingdom; and Reuter, a legendary demigod of the blade. Together, these four engage in battles that stretch the limits of the imagination.
