Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the light novel series in English, and it describes the story:
Flum Apricot was never meant to be a hero. Despite stats that were zeroes across the board and a power she can't even use, she somehow finds herself a member of a party of heroes. But Flum's life hits rock bottom when the party's renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides that the useless girl is dead weight, and arranges to have her sold into slavery. Tossed to monsters to be feasted upon for her master's entertainment, Flum makes the desperate choice to reach for a cursed weapon…and something new awakens within her. A grimdark tale about one woman's blood-soaked quest to reclaim her life!
Seven Seas is also releasing the novel series in audiobook format featuring narrator Emily Bauer. Additionally, Seven Seas is releasing Sunao Minakata's manga adaptation.
kiki launched the novel series with illustrations by Kinta in 2018, and Micro Magazine published the fourth volume in Japan in January 2020. The novel series changed artists with the fifth volume, with kodamazon drawing the illustrations.
Seven Seas previously released Minakata's Akuma no Riddle: Riddle Story of Devil manga.
