In the age of Universal Awakening on the Azure Sphere, a myriad of races and gods coexist. 
Devils, dark gods, and monsters descend upon the mortal realm, only to be met by the Awakened.
Howard, during his Awakening Ritual, discovers dual talents— F-rank Mana Recovery, and the supreme talent: Supreme Synthesis. 
He keeps a low profile, hiding as a 'common magus.'
Through countless acts of synthesis, he forges supreme artifacts, supreme skills, and supreme classes! 
Fireball synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining D-rank skill— Fire Serpent! 
Fire Serpent synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining B-rank skill— Fire Python! 
Fire Python synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining S-rank skill— Dragonfire!
When devils invade and dark gods descend, they are left slack-jawed by the Azure Sphere before them. 
"No, this is a trap... a trap disguised as a mere cupcake!"

Howard treated the Duke of Blunrick, Anton, with equitable respect.

His logic was straightforward: both were independent entities capable of determining their own foreign relations, necessitating a mutual respect.

Duke Anton found Howard's attitude towards him both disarming and delightful.

Anton, perceiving Howard as a king of the vast Oungria Kingdom, initially expects an air of superiority in their interaction.

Contrary to his expectations, he finds Howard's demeanor unexpectedly down-to-earth and approachable.

This unexpected congeniality leads Anton to develop a favorable impression of Howard, even nurturing a deliberate intention to forge a closer relationship with him.

Motivated by this newfound admiration, Anton goes to great lengths to please Howard, engaging him in conversation filled with humorous remarks that elicit hearty laughter from the king.
