The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows
A light-novel adaptation blending underdog redemption with underground heroism, where a rejected healer builds community and power in the criminal margins through magic and defiance.

With unlicensed, unmatched magic, he cures, comforts, and rights wrongs, quietly becoming a legend. But as his power grows, even the royal palace takes notice. Can he buck the odds and heal a world that cast him aside?
