Zagan, known as a formidable sorcerer, leads a reclusive life. However, he now confronts his ultimate challenge - experiencing love. Despite being dreaded by society as a malevolent sorcerer, Zagan is plagued by social ineptitude and a propensity for profanity. Alongside practicing sorcery, he also vigorously defends his territory against intruders. One fateful day, he receives an unexpected invitation to a clandestine auction, where he encounters Nephy, an enchanting elven slave girl of unparalleled beauty.

Upon falling in love at first sight, Zagan exhausts his entire fortune to acquire her. However, being inept at conversation, he struggles to effectively communicate with her. Consequently, their cohabitation becomes an awkward scenario wherein the sorcerer, oblivious about expressing his affection, coexists with his enslaved companion, longing for her master but lacking the understanding of how to captivate him.
