The Axiom of the Outcast
Summoned to the magical world of Aethelgard with his entire high school class, 17-year-old Kaito Tanaka is branded a failure. While his classmates are gifted with heroic classes like [Hero] and [Saintess], he alone receives nothing. No system, no skills, no magic. Deemed a "Defect" and cast aside by the very kingdom that summoned them, Kaito is left to languish as a powerless commoner in a world governed by strength.
But Kaito possesses a different kind of power—a quiet, analytical genius and a deep understanding of a force this new world has forgotten: the scientific method. While the new "Heroes" are blinded by their own power and the kingdom's lies, Kaito sees the truth: they are all just disposable weapons in a war they don't understand.
With only the gentle Healer, Emi Sato, as his ally, Kaito must use his knowledge of physics, chemistry, and logistics to survive. Theirs is a partnership forged in the shadows of the royal castle, a bond of logic and compassion against a world of arrogance and deceit. Together, they orchestrate a desperate escape, fleeing into a vast wilderness filled with monstrous beasts, ancient ruins, and the ghosts of a forgotten history.
Hunted by the kingdom and haunted by the memories of the world they left behind, Kaito seeks not power, but knowledge—the knowledge to deconstruct the very fabric of this world's magic, to forge his own strength from first principles, and to find, against all odds, a path back home.
In a world that runs on a divine System, one powerless boy will prove that the most dangerous weapon is a mind that refuses to play by the rules. This is the axiom of the outcast.
