What Is the Plot of The Eternal Fool’s Words of Wisdom?

The story revolves around Asley, an eternally youthful wizard who has spent two thousand years in absolute isolation. Rather than descending into madness, Asley has spent his centuries of solitude conducting magical research and hanging out with his level 100 canine familiar, Pochi.

When Pochi finally demands that they get some fresh air and leave their centuries-long seclusion, Asley decides it is time to reintegrate into a vastly changed society. His personal mission is simple: he wants to shed some of his less glamorous historical titles, restore a respectable reputation, and test his magical prowess against the modern world.

From participating in mysterious family feuds to running away from danger, Asley has to save a vast world from a rising evil, all while dealing with Pochi’s constant, sarcastic feedback.
