After his parents and other relatives were killed in a terrible flight accident, Paul founds himself an orphan in a world where magic and science have long worked together for the sake of humanity and thirty gods keep watch over and guide humans. Both manaless, and godless, Paul, who was just fourteen years old, had to learn how to live on his own. He barely makes ends meet by working a variety of menial jobs that pay pitiful wages. Exhausted from his hardships, he rarely goes outside or meets friends, choosing instead to read books and practice the talents his parents taught him. After an unforeseen incident five years later, Paul's life took a completely new turn, full of adventure, friendship, enemies, and a deity that has taken an unusual interest in him. He explores the mysteries of the academy, the world, his parents'. And a whole lot more! “Everyone, please welcome the new disciplinary committee president, Paul!”
