Story of the anime is as following:

“Van Ney Fertio is an eight-year-old prodigy whose extraordinary talents stem from being the reincarnated soul of a legendary hero, granting him an innate mastery of magic from birth. Unfortunately, when his magical affinity turns out to be the seemingly underwhelming creation magic, his arrogant noble family disowns him and banishes him to a remote, insignificant frontier village to serve as its defender. Undaunted, Van recognizes the hidden opportunities in his new home and, supported by a loyal group of followers who still have faith in his potential, sets out to transform the sleepy hamlet into a thriving stronghold.”
