Eighteen-year-old Oliver Shaw is just your average, introverted high school student. No friends, no presence, no future. His life of quiet classroom corners and late-night games is turned upside down when his entire class is suddenly summoned to a fantasy world.

There, they're hailed as heroes — champions chosen by the Goddess to defeat the Demon King and save the world from destruction.

But while his classmates awaken powerful combat skills and legendary classes, Oliver is given… Linguist.
An F-rank support skill with no combat abilities and no future. Just a single line of description: "Can understand any language."

Mocked, ignored, and ultimately cast aside, Oliver finds himself abandoned at the edge of death.

But in the silence where others hear nothing… he begins to hear everything.

Now, in a world shaped by words and magic, the boy they left behind may hold the one skill that can break it all.

Oliver straightened immediately, excitement rising in his voice. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it!"


But Isolde's smirk faded. She set down the pen and crossed her arms, expression suddenly serious. "No can do."


"It's very simple." Her tone grew instructive again, but there was a trace of warning in it. "Every living being absorbs mana naturally — up to the limit their body can handle. Try to force more in than your body can process, and it doesn't make you stronger. It breaks you."


"Imagine flooding a cracked pot with water," she said. "You can pour as much as you like, but the vessel will shatter. The same applies here. Rashly expanding your mana capacity without preparation would destroy your body — burn out your circuits, rupture your veins, maybe even stop your heart."


Oliver sat back, deflated. "So what are we supposed to do, then? Just drop the idea?"
