On some continent there is a kingdom inhabited by various races in it with a peaceful life founded by a group of adventurers formed from childhood friends named Eden.
In Eden, led by a king known as who has many tactics that are feared by his enemies and are said to be cunning, the king named is Lito Lambert. Lito has childhood friends from various races with abilities beyond reason and loyal to Lito with their nickname is The Guardians.
There is Gark, the strongest fighter with deadly fists from the oni race, also Luminos a royal healer with pure light magic from the vampire race.
There is also Yune a sharp magic archer who always hits the target, she is from the forest elf race, Nia is a tough knight who makes enemies feel of hot fire from the fire spirit race.
Truth is a mad scientist from the iron dragon race and finally Luna is a witch who founded a famous magic school and became the principal there from the moon elf race.
They all met Lito when they were still in the orphanage and the six of them were always bullied by the orphanage children who were mostly inhabited by humans, but Lito helped accompany them and protected them even though Lito was battered by other orphanage children.
But because of that, it made his 6 friends very motivated to be strong in order to protect Lito and became loyally follow Lito wherever he goes.
However, Lito was not confident from the start with himself who was appointed to become a king by his friends and as a result Lito covered up his low nature so as not to worry about all his childhood friends who had been trusted because he was just an ordinary human who did not have the great talents and strengths just like those of his six childhood friends.
To cover up his weaknesses, Lito always collected items and magical artifacts that he found in the dungeon from when they were still low adventurers with his friends and used it all to make him look strong and feared even though all the magical artifacts and items he collected were not that strong.
Even so, he still always burdened himself for the sake of his six friends to continue to be happy and not be oppressed by bad people even though he risked his own life and until all the enemies that Lito faced were given the nickname of the king of the dregs who conquered the savage group, namely the Guardians.
Now, Lito was checking the royal reports that had piled up like mountains. Every day, Lito's job is to sort out the kingdom's reporting problems regarding production results, distribution, consumer results, security, facilities and others.
"Huh, these reports never stop at all." Lito said weakly.
"I should get some fresh air first to cool my mind." Lito said again and started to stand up from his work chair and leave his office.
As Lito strolls through his castle, Lito unexpectedly collides with one of his Six guardians, Luna, the headmaster of Eden's Mage Academy. In Lito distraction, her petite figure goes unnoticed as you bump into her. "M-m-m-my lord my apologies" surprised Luna blushes deeply.
"It's ok Luna, it was a small accident." Lito replied while tidying up his clothes.
Luna stumbles back a bit from the force of your collision, her cheeks turning even redder from embarrassment
"Y-you could have hurt me, you know..." she mumbles, trying to regain her composure
"You're always too reckless and that will never change from you." Lito sarcastically with a smile.
"I am not reckless! I just… have a tendency to lose focus sometimes…" Luna replied with pouts and crossed her arms, pretending to be offended.
"Well when you were little, you wanted to reach for something on a high shelf and fell, and luckily I was there and caught you even though I failed to catch you by my hand and fell to my back." Lito said while closing his eyes and posing as a thinking person.
Luna's pout turns into a small smile at the memory. "I was just a kid back then, and I was so curious! So it's not my fault you were nearby to catch me." She playfully sticks her tongue out at you.
"You don't have any work at your mage academy anymore?" Lito asked, looking confused.
"For now I have other assignments so I'll leave for a while from the academy." Luna answered with her sweet smile.
"What kind of tasks?" Said Lito.
"Regarding the research for a new magic artifact with Truth to make the city light up at night." Luna explained enthusiastically.
Hearing Luna's enthusiasm was so strong that Lito could only stay silent while smiling. But because Luna's enthusiasm made Lito remember the first time he met Luna at the orphanage who was always alone from the others and Lito approached Luna and asked to chat with Luna.
Lito heard Luna's words about the books he often read and studied with Luna. Because every day Lito continues to play and learn with Luna, Luna becomes open to anything and wants to continue being with Lito.
Not only Luna, even the other guardians can also be close to Lito because Lito understands them best, which makes Lito a figure of light for the other guardians.
Each of the guardians possesses their unique abilities and skills, but they all work together seamlessly, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses. They are a formidable team, capable of protecting the kingdom and its people with ease.
As Lito look at them, he can't help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for their loyalty and devotion to him. But because of that, Lito feel left behind by the others because they are all great people, while he just a human without any uniqueness and only rely on magical artifacts.
As Lito feel left out, Luna notices the slight frown on his face and approaches him, her expression filled with concern.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why do you look so down?" she places a hand on Liti shoulder, trying to comfort him.
"Oh, it's nothing." Lito replied, coming back to his senses.
Luna furrows her brow, not believing Lito for a second. "It's clearly not nothing. You're usually more cheerful than this. What's bothering you?"
"Nothing, you can go back to your respective activities, I'll take my leave now." Lito replied and left Luna in the palace corridor.
When he returned to his office, Lito just stared at the floor and was still pessimistic about himself because he was just an ordinary human who didn't have unique qualities or great powers like his 6 friends.
Lito could only smile seeing their success but not for himself because he could get to this point because of their blessings and not because of himself.
Lito could only sit in his office and work on the kingdom's report as a king from behind the scenes and always lament his fate now as a leader for the kingdom and his 6 friends who believed in him.
"I wish I could go out and travel to live a relaxed and peaceful life." Lito complained while working on the report again.
