The Rise of the Unemployed Wise Man

The Rise of the Unemployed Wise Man

Finished

失業賢者の成り上がり ~嫌われた才能は世界最強でした~

Karna is a boy blessed with the title of Sage from heaven, and the hero party recruits him with high expectations for his abilities. But when they discover his skill is necromancy, they find it unsettling and immediately cast him out without any reward.

Lost and wandering, Karna accidentally strays into the Demon King's territory and is attacked by demons. He easily defeats a powerful demon with overwhelming magic, and the demon Cecilia witnesses the entire battle. Impressed by his strength, she offers him a generous salary to join the Demon King's army.

With no place left among humans, Karna accepts the offer and chooses to become a magician for the enemy of humanity, beginning his rise from an unemployed sage to a feared force on the demon side.
