The series, Am I Actually the Strongest?, follows a shut-in protagonist who is reborn as Reinhart Zenfis, aka Hart. He’s born into royalty, but because his magic appears to be weak, his new parents abandon him without a second thought. Leaving him in a forest populated by monsters, his parents turn away without a second thought about the fate of their child.
However, in a surprising turn of events, it is soon revealed that his magic is in fact inhumanly strong, and he survives by finding and forcing the Fenrir Flay to submit with his Barrier magic. After eventually being found by distant relative Gold Zenfis, Reinhart is adopted by Gold as his son, and he begins his new life in a world where his magic is the strongest.
