## Chapter
- number: 5
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
The current chapter follows Ian Paige on the suspicious search and rescue mission, where he confronts a horde of goblins. Demonstrating his overpowered abilities, Ian uses spells like "Frost Nova" and a power-enhancing ring to save others, including an unnamed female character. This has led to some reader discussion about the use of generic enemies and concerns over a potential romance, given Ian's true mental age. The chapter's most significant and widely praised event is Ian's use of summoning magic. Instead of an intimidating beast, he summons an unexpectedly adorable baby wolf or "spirit puppy," prompting speculation that it may be a regressed version of a familiar from his past life. While readers enjoy Ian's competence, some question the lack of in-universe suspicion regarding his prodigious skills. The presence of a threatening older man, identified by a reader as Lord Mogrian, adds an undercurrent of danger to the mission.
