Synopsis of The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash
When Ivy was born into this world, she remembered her past life. Remembering her pre-incarnation, she strove to avoid conflict. But fate took shape at the status check, when children learn who they are. Because she only had one skill – Taming – and not a single star. Ivy was weak from the beginning: at most, she could tame a slime. And in her world, most people didn’t give their time to the weak. Only one woman in her village treated her as if she were her own. But after Ivy “died,” she took her hint and ran away from her house. While she was running away, she met a little slime and named him Sora. And so begins the moving survival story of a little girl who knows how to tame beasts.
