Awakened in a baby's body, Rudeus realizes he has been reincarnated into a world of sword and sorcery, discarding his past identity. He becomes highly skilled at magic due to inherited affinity and early training. Rudeus becomes a student of demon magician Roxy Migurdia, a friend to demihuman Sylphiette, and a magic teacher to noble heiress Eris Boreas Greyrat.
As Rudeus finally feels like he has found his place in the world, a major magical catastrophe destroys his nation, teleporting and stranding hundreds of thousands of people far from home‚ some into dangerous places or situations, resulting in their deaths due to murder, war, execution, monster attack, or exposure to the elements. Stranded practically on the other side of the world in a foreign land, Rudeus resolves to escort Eris home with aid by a befriended strong warrior named Ruijerd Superdia.
During his thousands-of-miles-long journey, Rudeus is contacted by a mysterious being, the Man-God, who gives him questionable advice for an unknown agenda. After three years of struggle, including being defeated by a mighty world-class warrior named Orsted, Rudeus successfully escorts Eris home to the remains of his shattered homeland. Unfortunately, political events and a personal misunderstanding with Eris ultimately leave Rudeus heartbroken.

Rudeus, who becomes impotent after the incident with Eris, enrolls in Ranoa Magic University under the Man-God's advice. He reunites with Sylphiette, who heals his impotence, and they marry. Rudeus then rejoins his father's quest to save his mother, ignoring the Man-God's advice and reuniting with Roxy.
A dying future version warns Rudeus that the Man-God will cause the deaths of everyone he cares about. To appease the Man-God, Rudeus attempts to kill Orsted, but offers his allegiance in exchange for his family's protection. Rudeus takes Eris as his third wife after a reconciliation.
The series continues with story arcs focusing on Rudeus' work with Orsted, his daily life, and his growing family. After a failed attack, the Man-God schemes against Rudeus's descendants. Rudeus lives peacefully until his natural death at 74.
