Adlet Mayer calls himself the strongest man in the world and fights with gadgets and dirty tricks instead of raw power. When the Evil God stirs at the edge of the continent, the Crest of the Six Flowers marks the champions chosen to seal it away again, and Adlet is one of them. At the meeting point, though, seven Braves turn up instead of six, and the group works out that one of them is serving the enemy. This is the original light novel series.
