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!"

Kaido was known for his brashness and lack of foresight, which is precisely why Howard sought him out, thinking Kaido might not overthink and genuinely engage in a sword duel.

However, despite his political naivety and clumsiness in managing his subordinates, Kaido's constant pursuit of business opportunities and indulgence in corruption did not make him as straightforward as Howard had hoped.

Kaido made a semblance of effort, joining Howard in a fencing match with fine swords equipped with gold wristguards.

Both slightly bent at the waist, their feet positioned one in front of the other, they exploded with lively bursts of energy.

It was like a coiled spring, storing power then suddenly thrusting forward in a strike, a contest of who had more explosive power, who was quicker to react.

But before Howard could break into a sweat and exclaim in exhilaration, Kaido gradually became listless.
