Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells (Light Novel) Series

Revenge in another world—with an abnormal twist! (And don’t miss the manga adaptation, also from Seven Seas.) Catch the anime, now airing!

Abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, Mimori Touka and his classmates have been summoned by the world’s resident Goddess to serve as heroes. Luckily, most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival—except for Mimori, whose abilities bottom out at a measly E-rank. With no further use for him, the Goddess banishes Mimori to a dungeon from which no one has ever returned alive. Yet, as it turns out, Mimori’s skills aren’t so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, even. If Mimori can only claw his way back to the surface, nothing will stand in his way from getting revenge.

THE PROMISED RETURN

Touka and his companions finally arrive at Alion, seat of Vicius’s power—only to find the goddess has used her magic to transform the entire capital into something called a Divine Labyrinth. Venturing into the labyrinth’s twisted depths, the Lord of the Flies, Sogou Ayaka and the Hijiri sisters must face the fallen god Wormgandr and the hollow man Yomibito before they can proceed in search of Touka’s revenge. Who will emerge victorious from this clash between S-Class heroes and the Children of Vicius? And what does Vicius have in store for them next?

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE

Battling through the labyrinth with the skills Vicius once mocked as worthless, Touka reunites with Seras and his allies. Eve finds herself facing off against Ars, the First Hero, in a fight where the odds seem stacked against her. And meanwhile, unbeknownst to the rest of the heroes, Kobato and Asagi approach Vicius with an interesting proposal. Could Touka’s worst fears have come true? Is his long-desired revenge about to be foiled by betrayal at the crucial moment?

SERAS’ STORY

In the fairytale land of Hylings, home of the high elves, there once lived a young girl who committed a great crime for the sake of someone she loved. Banished for her sins, this girl made her way to the Holy Empire of Neah, where she took up arms in the service of Princess Cattlea. In time, she would become Captain of the Holy Knights of Neah, and later be called the Princess Knight—but history would remember her first and foremost as Seras Ashrain, the beautiful but deadly sword of the Lord of the Flies…

THE GATHERING STORM

Having defeated Kirihara Takuto and recruited S-class hero Takao Hijiri and her younger sister Itsuki, Mimori Touka is finally ready to march on Alion. Vicius, meanwhile, has procured the heart of the Demon King. As the combined forces of the Lord of the Flies Brigade, the Empire of Mira, and the Country at the End of the World advance on the goddess’s seat of power, she races to destroy the Realm of the Divines. Can the resistance stop her before she gains enough power to slaughter both mortals and her fellow divines? Or is it already too late?

THE TRUE KING

As the final battle against Vicius draws near, Mimori Touka makes full use of his “worthless” skills to take revenge on his classmate, Oyamada Shougo. Unbeknownst to him, Vicius has realized his true identity as the hero she once disposed of. When the Goddess persuades Kirihara Takuto to attack Touka, the stage is set for an epic clash between two heroes who couldn’t be more different!

CLASS REUNION

Thanks to Mimori Touka’s “worthless” skills, the Country at the End of the World is safe for now. Touka and his companions are sent to the Miran Empire as representatives to broker the new alliance between the two nations. But assassins are on their way to kill the Miran emperor, and one is a familiar face—Oyamada Shougo, ex-school bully and one of the classmates who abandoned Touka to his death. Will Touka finally have his revenge…?

WHERE THE GODDESS FEARS TO TREAD

Mimori Touka must make full use of his much-maligned skills to battle the Sixth Order of Knights! Meanwhile, when the Demon King rears his hellish head in Alion, it’s up to Sogou Ayaka and her Silver World to protect the powerless from his pitiless rampage. That leaves the Goddess Vicius alone with Takao Hijiri. Will they fight the Demon King side by side? Or is there another betrayal on the horizon…?

FORBIDDEN MAGIC FOR TOTAL REVENGE

After defeating the Sword of Courage, Mimori Touka finally arrives in the Country at the End of the World. Forbidden Magic is finally within his grasp—and it’s strong enough to break through the defenses surrounding the Goddess Vicius so that Touka can take his long-awaited revenge! But the Country at the End of the World has its own problems on the horizon: the strongest knights of Alion are about to invade. Can anyone stand against them?

BORN OF REVENGE

In search of the Country at the End of the Word and its secrets of forbidden magic, Mimori Touka plunges back into the Land of the Golden-Eyed Monsters. But on the way he’s confronted by perilous new foes: the descendants of previous heroes from another world! The E-class underdog must flex his “useless” skills in a battle against their Sword of Courage and leader, the indominable Lewin Seale.

BATTLE AND BETRAYAL

The invasion has begun. The Demon King’s armies are bearing down on the humans, ravaging the main forces from country after country. The heroes from another world, once the students of Class 2-C, are fighting for their lives against impossible odds. But when a figure in a black robe and fly mask appears on the battlefield, will this mysterious person turn the tide? And how will Mimori Touka use his incredible abilities in the face of a continent-wide war?

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

While Mimori’s journey for revenge takes him all over this magical, dangerous world, his classmates are fulfilling their destinies as “heroes” by facing off against the hordes of the Demon King. Despite the cruel world she’s found herself in, S-class hero and ex-class rep Sogou Ayaka still wants to protect her weaker classmates–from their enemies, and from the cruel whims of the Goddess. But when it’s just her up against an army of monsters, can she even save herself?

FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

After defeating the strongest human in the world with his “useless” spells, Mimori Touka’s quest for vengeance is back on track! He knows he’s still too weak to defeat the foul Goddess, so he sets out to find more information about the Forbidden Magic that could be key to taking her down. His search will bring him into the path of a corrupt duke, a fierce beastwoman gladiator, and a fighting tournament where the stakes are life and death!

IT’S PAYBACK TIME Mimori Touka has made it out of the inescapable Ruins of Disposal using his so-called “useless” skills, and now he only has one thing on his mind–revenge! But the foul Goddess who sent him to his death is too powerful for a head-on attack. First, he needs someone to watch his back, and who better than the beautiful, fugitive elf princess who keeps crossing his path? The two outcasts make a great team, but terrifying enemies are closing in–including a knight named Civit Garland, the the strongest human in the world.
