Synopsis of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
When his relationship with Eris Boreas Greyrat reaches new heights, Rudeus Greyrat is ecstatic. Unfortunately, his joy is short-lived, as Eris suddenly leaves him to go on his own journey. Believing that Eris has lost all interest in him, a heartbroken and depressed Rudeus sets off for the Northern Territories. With the sole goal of locating his mother on the vast continent, Rudeus wonders if it's worth persisting in everyday life, falling into a robotic rut while incessantly ruminating on his lost love.
However, the dangers of the North soon prove that one cannot survive with a dull mind. During a quest with the Counter Arrow group, with whom he has recently become acquainted, Rudeus has an encounter with death, an experience that forces him out of his despair. With his new teammates, Rudeus rediscovers the joy of everyday adventure and moves forward with his original goal of making the most of his second chance at life.
