The light novel's story focuses on Kaito Takagi, a high school student with a mob personality and low status. He is a normal adventurer who hunts slimes every day in dungeons that appear in Japan. One day, he encountered a yellow slime he had never seen before. Confused, he still managed to defeat the slime and received an extremely rare item called a “servant card”, which can summon mythical creatures and is worth hundreds of millions. He then summoned a valkyrie, a beautiful female warrior. Kaito begins his adventure to rise from mobster to hero.
Terio Teri launched the ongoing manga adaptation in Akita Shoten's Dokodemo Young Champion magazine in August 2021.
