Suddenly one day, Zenos, the healer, is banished from his party by Aston, the leader of the party of adventurers. Zenos, having no license as a healer, had been deemed to be useless by the party members, but little did they know that he was actually a genius healer who could treat wounds in the blink of an eye...?! After being ousted from the party, Zenos secretly opens his own clinic in the slums. Patients with all sorts of issues come knocking and troubles just come rolling in. Even Krishna, the Vice-Commander of The Kingdom of Herzeth's Royal Guard hears about the buzz and makes her way to the slums...

In the main PV, you'll see Zenos dive into the fray on the front lines despite being just a healer. Get ready to witness Zenos' dark healer journey, an electrifying adventure full of unexpected encounters, all wrapped in the whimsical OP theme "light maker" by the one and only, bokula.

■INTRODUCTION
A new dark hero healer is born!
He's no shadow doctor. He's a shadow healer who cures, comforts, and even rights the wrongs of the world...?

“You haven't done anything lately. To be honest, we don't need you anymore.”

When a young healer named Zenos is deemed “useless” by the party of adventurers, he is banished from the group with a single gold coin as severance pay. Born in the slums, Zenos practices self-taught healing magic without a healer's license. As he wanders the streets with nowhere to go, he comes across Lily, an elf girl who's on the verge of dying from a wound to her stomach.

“Don't worry, it's not that bad. You'll be fine.”
“Huh? It doesn't hurt and the wound is gone! What did you do?!”

A quietly run clinic in an abandoned town at the very edge of the slums sets the stage for the fantastic tale of a brilliant unlicensed healer who has no idea just how powerful he truly is.
