Beside him is his familiar, Pepper, who has lost her memory. She was the "Witch of Chaos" who nearly destroyed the country 15 years ago, but Log chose not to kill her, who was burning for revenge, and decided to live with her while hiding her true identity. However, one night, the village is attacked by monsters, and Pepper is taken away by someone. Log heads to the royal capital for the first time in 15 years to save her. But his old identification is invalid, and he is turned away at the checkpoint before the capital. At the adventurer's guild where he visits for re-registration, he is ridiculed by the younger adventurers as just "an old guy" with a blank in his record... To reclaim his familiar, the former hero aims to re-debut as a new adventurer while hiding his true identity and abilities.
