The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash

Overview

In a world where a person’s star decides their future, Ivy is born starless — and that single fact turns her whole village against her. Cast out as a bad omen, she survives alone by salvaging what others throw away, until a chance meeting in the forest with Sora, a weak little slime, gives her a companion and a reason to keep walking.

What follows is a gentle, warm-hearted road story. As Ivy travels from village to village, kindness from strangers, a surprising talent for taming, and her growing bond with Sora slowly reveal that being starless was never the same as being worthless. It is a quiet fantasy about found family, second chances, and the worth of things — and people — that others discard.
