Sutherland is a sickly young man with a weak constitution. Orphaned young, he was taken in by the boss of a mafia organization and treated like a precious darling. Unfortunately, he has the fighting ability of a five-year-old, and everyone in the organization looks down on him.
But that's fine. He plays to his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. If he's no good at close combat, then he'll use guns, poison, assassination, ranged attacks, group beatdowns, intimidation, bodyguards, and ambushes before a fight... In short, as long as he lives and his opponent dies, he can call it a win.
Besides, he has his own Nen ability.
His ability lets him materialize his creations. The better his drawing, the stronger he becomes... What a Nen ability that rewards years of effort!
Sutherland has spent ten years honing his skills, and at last he's gradually shaken off his reputation as a fragile young master who needs protecting.
His teachers, guards, butlers, and bodyguards all lament that they're out of a job.
The newcomer, Kuzan, is quite confused.
Kuzan: ? Why are you all sighing?
Teacher/guard/butler/bodyguard: Sigh, you wouldn't understand...
Ah! The little boy who used to obediently let people follow him wherever he went is gone for good!

Before you read:
1. A slow-burn coming-of-age story starting when the protagonist is a young child. It should be more serious in tone. The protagonist is an ordinary person physically, not someone who can smash rocks with his chest. He's not a traditional, goofy One Piece character, and has all sorts of issues, like being very sensitive (?). His personality is markedly different as a child and as an adult.
2. I'm not great at plot-driven stories. I'm better at writing character interactions, so I'll try not to write too much daily life, okay!
3. The protagonist is a native of this world. There are transmigrators, original factions, a huge number of original characters, and random anime characters who show up to work. The plot serves the characters, and the logic won't withstand close scrutiny. Uta, Yamato, and Oden will appear. If that bothers you, please take care.
4. Nobody is a saint or a perfect character. Everyone has done something wrong to some extent.
5. Lots of personal interpretation. Any out-of-character writing is on me.
