Young Ivy can’t rest. Although she has some memories of her past life, she was reborn in an RPG-like world into the weakest class, and worse, as the weakest. As a no-star tamer, even her parents want nothing to do with her, and she soon realizes she must survive on her own. She learns to live off the land and salvage what she can from other people’s remains. But when Ivy manages to tame Sora, a humble slime, everything changes for them both. There’s something special about this fragile little monster, and Ivy’s care will bring out the best in both of them!
