Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest

On his way to conquer a Great Labyrinth with his allies and former classmates, Hajime Nagumo is pulled off course when his party member Shea Haulia faces a crisis. After stumbling upon a group of rabbitmen under attack, Nagumo discovers that Shea’s Haulia Tribe has been kidnapped by soldiers of the Hoelscher Empire. Wanting to ease Shea’s fears-especially since her father might be in grave danger-Nagumo changes course to infiltrate the empire and rescue the captured Haulias. Once there, Hajime finds himself entangled in the political strife between the Hoelscher Empire and the Heiligh Kingdom. Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh is attempting to secure an alliance with the empire to shield her weakened kingdom from demon assaults, while the Haulia Tribe secretly plots to assassinate Emperor Gahard D. Hoelscher to end their people’s suffering. With no patience for political games, Hajime resolves to protect his friends at all costs, even if it means unleashing his full power against anyone who dares oppose him.
