Tad has a secret. Found as a child, the sole-survivor of an apparent shipwreck, he grows up an orphan with no memory of his past or the heritage, which gives rise to his strange ability to smell magic. Tad has a problem. Adventurers hoping to exploit Tad’s ability to find the best magic, forcibly take him into a dungeon so far beyond his level that the slightest mistake could mean death. Tad has a plan. In the depths of a dungeon, Tad learns more about his true nature. Not only can he sniff out magic—he can eat it, using the mana to bend enchantments to his will, creating some truly epic gear in the process. He must unlock the secrets of his heritage and find his place in the wider multiverse. He knows he’s a man, but there’s a demon who says he’s so much more. He’s a Magic Eater.

Freed from the dungeon, Tad now has a wider world to explore, even as he is pursued by an enemy intent on using Tad's power for his own ends. More of his forgotten past will be revealed even as he finds out more about his place in the multiverse.

One set of enemies has been dealt with, and Tad has made his way to a new town with a new shop. He's made some great friends and found a happiness he didn't know existed. If only life were that simple. His heritage is pushing into his life and choices will have to be made. That and those who want a piece of him have become even more powerful. Will he ever find the quiet life he wanted so much? Although, perhaps the bigger question is whether that's still the life he wants?

Tad's dream of owning a shop ended far too quickly, but his drive has only increased. He is determined not only to become strong enough to withstand the Order but also to live the life he wants. His family is drawing closer but he's got a couple more things to do before he's ready for the meeting. Now he has to build up his team with some outside help, but for the first time he has a truly clear vision.
