Rud works as a Tank with the hero Kyglas, healer Nin and twin swordswomen Lilia and Lily. Rud's Absorb Shield, strongest shield in the world, has begun to fail during combat. Kyglas blames this on Rud for possessing two unknown skills, so he callously fires Rud against Nin’s objections. Rud decides to return home to Avancia and care for his ill sister Manicia. Rud takes a job guarding a merchant who will pass Avancia but they encounter a child being attacked by a monster. Rud manages to shield the other guards while they kill the monster. The girl, a homunculus created for slave labour, is invited to Avancia by Rud who names her Luna. Luna kills several wolves, confirming Rud’s suspicions someone created her illegally for combat. She also possesses the extremely rare skill Identify, which can determine the true nature of anything. With it Rud finally identifies his unknown skills; Life Conversion, which converts damage into strength, and Sacrifice Shield, which absorbs damage dealt to teammates. This finally explains why his shield fails so quickly as it was actually taking damage from 5 people at once. Rud realises if used correctly he could become the strongest Tank in history, but decides against it in favour of seeing Manicia.

Entering Avancia Rud introduces Luna to his friends Milena the trainee blacksmith and Fille the sub-captain of the village guard. Visiting Manicia Rud finds she is feeling better. She immediately takes a shine to Luna. Luna quickly learns how to cook in only three days, surprising Rud. As Kyglas took his sword when he fired him Rud asks Milena and her father Raisil to forge him a new one. Luna also meets Granny Gigi, the apothecary treating Manicia’s illness. Meeting so many kind people causes Luna to tell Rud and Manicia she was created for war by the neighbouring nation Brunkels. Rud admits he already knew and accepted her anyway. Luna decides to live her life as a human. Now he knows what his skills are Rud tests them in a duel against Fille and thanks to Life Conversion he is able to attack as well as tank damage and defeats Fille. Manicia remembers their parents trying to abandon her when she became sick, but Rud abandoned their parents instead and raised her himself despite also being very young. She wonders if maybe she has been holding back Rud’s potential all these years.
