Nabeshiki’s I Parry Everything: What do you mean I’m the strongest? I’m not even an adventurer! was first published on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in October 2019. The light novel series was published as Earth Star Novel by Earth Star Entertainment in 2020, with Kawaguchi participating as the artist illustration. There is also a manga by KRSG serialized in Comic Earth Star magazine.
J-Novel Club licensed the light novel in English and they describe the story: The Kingdom of Clays faces a serious crisis: an assassination has just been carried out on Princess Lynneburg their own, and its neighbors eye the consequences like hungry vultures, plotting the Kingdom’s downfall. The ensuing conflict would shape the face of the continent for centuries to come…but Noor knew nothing about it! New to the royal capital after more than a decade of rigorous, isolated training at his mountain home, he is determined to achieve his childhood dream of becoming an adventurer, even if his skills are limited. The only skills he possesses are useless skills. Sure, he can [Parry] thousands of swords in a single breath, but everyone knows you need more than that if you want to become an adventurer! Our hero’s road to turning his dreams into reality will be long(?) and arduous(?)—but if there’s one thing Noor isn’t afraid of, it’s good old-fashioned hard work!
