Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Zero #6

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Zero, or Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Zero, is a prequel light novel series written by Ryo Shirakome and illustrated by Takayaki. Published by Overlap Bunko, this spinoff chronicles the history of the Liberators and the events preceding the main series, expanding upon the world-building and lore of the Tortus continent.
