Synopsis

“You have real ability. Your circumstances just held you back.” Alto is a young appraiser forced to work like a slave in the nobility‑ruled Kingdom of Dramd. His life changes completely when he’s scouted by Beralt, a soldier of the enemy nation, the Glaus Empire. In a country that runs purely on merit, Alto’s off‑the‑charts appraisal talent is recognized—and he’s suddenly made an officer‑candidate!? No sooner has he enlisted than the high command—stacked with powerhouses—pins great hopes on him, but the companions he takes in are all misfits written off as hopeless… A breezy, rise‑to‑the‑top fantasy about seeing the hidden talents of his comrades and carving out a new destiny!
