| Light lives in a world where skills are acquired by consuming Skill Fruits, however people can only consume one as eating a second is fatal. Light hopes to gain a combat skill but whilst his childhood friend Lena receives the skill Sword Saint Light only receives the skill Fruitmaster, allowing him to grow fruits more efficiently. Lena decides they will start a farm together, but as her skill is so rare the priestess Saint forces her to become an adventurer. Lena rapidly rises to S Rank whilst Light unwillingly starts a farm growing Skill Fruits for the church. Ayla, an orphan who lives with Light, unknowingly uses the fruit in a stew. Light is astonished when he survives and gains a second skill, Sword God. This causes Saint to receive a divine revelation of the appearance of a great evil. Ayla gains the skill Appraisal which tells her Fruitmaster makes Light immune to poisonous fruits. Thrilled, Light registers as an adventurer. Gene, another adventurer, tries to bully him and is outraged when Light expertly defends himself. Gene and his party later encounter an ogre and, spotting Light nearby, try to use him as bait. However, Light kills the ogre. Lena appears at the guild and Light rushes to see her, only for her to claim she isn’t Lena. | ||||||

| Lena visits Light in disguise so her party leader Grouse doesn’t see them. Light manages to explain about his second skill. Lena reveals Saint forced her to join the Sacred party; Grouse is a thug, and the church overlooks his behaviour. Light demands Grouse let Lena quit. Lena also demands her freedom but Grouse beats her until she obeys. Light publicly challenges Grouse to duel. Ayla appraises Grouse and learns his skill is God Speed, allowing him to move from one place to another instantly. Grouse destroys Light’s sword but becomes enraged when Light decides to fight with a broom. Light realises he is losing because he is trying to match Grouse’ speed, so instead he decides to rely solely on his Sword God skill. Grouse tries to cut his head off but Light simply places the broom in the right position so Grouse’ face smashes into it and he is thrown unconscious into a wall. Lena joins Light’s party so Saint retaliates by ensuring they only receive extremely low paying jobs helping commoners. Lena accepts every job, making their party popular with most of the citizens. Light names their party Luxeria. Saint retaliates further by assigning Luxeria an S Rank quest certain to result in their deaths. | ||||||
