## Synopsis

The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode summons hundreds of heroes from other worlds every year to fight in their war against the Dark One and his army of powerful demons. Banaza is one of those heroes, summoned from the Royal Capital Paluma, but something’s not right—Banaza is only an average merchant. He has no magic, no fighting ability, and his stats are abysmal. Worse, a mishap leaves him unable to return home! Rejected as a hero and stranded in another world, abandoned to the far reaches of the kingdom by a cruel king who just wants him gone, Banaza’s fate looks pretty bleak. But what will happen once the failed hero candidate finds himself with super cheat powers once he hits level two?

The hero of the story, quite literally, having to fix both the King and Blonde Hero's messes. He is an ordinary man, a merchant in a different world from the Klyrode Magical Kingdom. He has dark brown hair with a short collar. Due to Flio and the Blonde Hero being summoned back to back from the of Klyrode Magical Kingdom as a candidate for heroism, but because his abilities were no different from those of an ordinary adult male, he was considered unfit to be a hero and was left alone in the Klyrode Magical Kingdom. Later, he was involved in a banquet in which other summoned men were recognized as heroes, and ended up living in the forest of Delabeza in the Klyrode Magical Land.

Originally from a world where magic and subhuman races exist, he is well adapted to magic and monsters. He has no discriminatory feelings toward the magical and subracial races, and hopes for a world where everyone can live in equality and happiness. When he was first summoned, he was level 1 and all his values were mediocre, but as soon as he was upgraded to level 2, all his values changed to infinity. Therefore, even if powerful magic is used, the magic power is immediately restored. When he learned that the people of the Klyrode Magic Kingdom were trying to kill her, he used appearance transformation magic to change her appearance to something completely different. His real name is Banaza. He *wants* to just live as a merchant as he did in his old world, but ends up having to be the good Samaritan a lot.

He has always loved to work and was involved in business before he was summoned, and he worked as an adventurer and peddler before setting up his store in the town of Houttau. He changed his name from Arpshaw to Flio after moving to Houttau (in the book version, he does not use the name Arpshaw, but Flio from the beginning), and also changed his appearance with a shape-shifting spell (he was originally slender and had a neutral face).

### Abilities

After Flio is summoned back to back he accidentally gets both of their blessings for the hero and his, which results in his infinite powers. However, he became a super-cheat, learning all kinds of skills and magic as soon as he reached level 2 while defeating slimes to survive, and all of his ability values exceeded the upper limit.

* After Killing Slime
* After being summoned

Banaza got summoned from his world (Kingdom of Paluma) to another world, to be exact, he got summoned to the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode. He got summoned as a Hero Candidate but insisted on not being one since he was a Merchant in his previous world. Thus his Stats were, just as he said, those of a normal citizen. Shocked at him being a failed Hero Candidate, the magicians wanted to send him back to his previous world.

Arrived in the forest, he checks the magic bag, which he received and kills a small Slime. Directly after that he got a notification on his status window, that he leveled up to level 2, thus gaining every single magic skill and all his abilities changed to ∞, they became infinite (basically, he became OP af). Since he became so powerful, his magic abilities sensed that his Bottomless Bag, which he got from the King, was imbued with hidden magic and was emitting Monster-Luring Magic that attracts nearby monsters, Location-Tracking Magic and Forced Recovery Magic. Thus he used one of his skills to get rid of the bag.

 **「Strength」** | ♾️
 **「Agility」** | ♾️

Entering the forest he got automatically warned since the forest was covered with a high concentration of Malicium which deals fatal damage to human beings. He used Purification Magic to get rid of the severe magic in the whole forest. Since Purification is the most effective Magic against Demons, he killed every single Demon inside the forest, thus leveled up to level 367. But due to him not realizing that he killed a bunch of Demons he thinks that his levels get up if he only uses his magic. He isn't even realizing that the symbol ∞ means that all his stats are infinite, instead, he thinks that he is so weak that the skillboard won't show him any numbers. He decided to completely start over in this new world and to earn some money, thus, to not get recognized, he changes his appearance with a skill of his (Shapeshifting Magic).

 **「Strength」** | ♾️
 **「Agility」** | ♾️

He has a mild-mannered personality that dislikes conflict and discrimination and interacts with people from all walks of life, human and demon alike. At first, he was unaware that he had become a cheat. Although he now understands that he is not a normal person, he has no intention of becoming a hero again, and he has agreed to Klyrode Magic Kingdom request on the condition that he will lend his strength in times of emergency.

Since he can use every magic, this is the list of magics that Flio used in the series:
