## Background

During his third year of middle school, the boy that would become Haruto was a victim of intense bullying that led to him becoming a NEET. After five years of this, he suddenly finds himself before a goddess who offers to reincarnate him into a new world. He agrees and is reincarnated as a newborn with a magic level 1002. He was born to the queen Gizelotte and the king Jilq and named *Reinhardt*. After his Mana Level was assessed and was given an incorrect status of Level 2 (due to the assessment method not being able to observe more than two digits), *Reinhardt* was pronounced stillborn to cover up the royal family's legacy. He was abandoned in a forest in the frontier region where he meets the Fenrir Flay. After using his newly discovered Barrier magic to make the creature submit, they are discovered by Gold Zenfis (a distant relative of his), and Reinhardt is adopted as his son and renamed Haruto.
