Arifureta: From Commonplace To World’s Strongest: Zero Vol. 3

A prequel to the main series, Zero follows Oscar Orcus, a low-ranking Synergist who lives a peaceful life and works to earn money to support an orphanage. However, his life is flipped upside down when Miledi Reisen visits his workshop in order to recruit him for a quest to defeat the gods. Oscar refuses her invitation, but Miledi isn’t used to taking no for an answer and is determined to force his cooperation, even if it means attacking the orphanage he cares so much about…
In Vol. 3, Miledi and Oscar begin their journey of finding others to join the party and head for the Red Desert in search of the “Fairy of the Desert” and one of the Liberators, Naiz Gruen. But before they can recruit him, they’ll have to convince him to use his Ancient Magic, which he despises due to his traumatic past.
