The anime is based on Monsho Sakakibara’s web-novel series of the same name, which began publishing Kadokawa Corporation's Kakuyomu online service in July 2021. In December 2022, Starts Publishing's Grast Novels imprint started publishing as a light novel with illustrations by Hatori Kyoka. A manga adaptation by Kanco started releasing in May 2023. The novel’s official website has also revealed comments from the author and illustrators. Kanco has also drawn a new illustration to celebrate the news.
The story of the novel follows a modern-man who dies in an unfortunate accident. He is reincarnated in a fantasy world as an elf, a species who live up to a thousand years. Instead of wasting his new life as he did the previous one, the man sets out on a journey to become a “living legend”.
