The Featherfolk, Witchfolk, Demonfolk, and humans all live together on the Nine Directions Continent.

He is poisoned by Witchfolk Gu insects, flies above the clouds with a Featherfolk girl, fights and drinks alongside the King of All Demons, and goes on adventures with a princess from another race.

At the same time, he misses out on many things and loses many people...
