Famed medical researcher Kanji Yakutani devoted his life to creating new medicines after losing his younger sister to an incurable illness. At age 31, he worked himself to death and awoke as a 10-year-old boy struck by lightning in a medieval world—reborn as Falma, a child of the respected De Médicis family. In this realm, divine arts—magic bestowed through blessings from guardian deities—exist, and Falma discovers his body hosts the guardian deity of medicine. He gains the mythical divine arts of creation and reduction, along with the ability to instantly diagnose illnesses within people. He soon learns how dire medicine is in this world: only nobles can afford care, which is often ineffective or even harmful. Using modern knowledge and his divine powers, Falma gradually earns renown as a pharmacist despite his youth, eventually gaining recognition from the imperial court. After obtaining his own pharmacy, he sets out to achieve his goal of improving healthcare throughout the San Fleuve Empire and making it accessible to everyone.
