“Off to a late start?” Yeah, well who says you can only begin your adventure when you’re young? 
“The early bird catches the worm.” Or so they say. Yet our hero, Rick Gladiator, passed his 30th birthday before taking even his first step as an adventurer. 
He may just be getting started, but he’s already showing S-Rank level powers. His teachers, the legendary party Orichalcum Fist, are monstrously strong (literally—check out the dragon and vampire), and they’ve put him through a training regimen from hell.
Now, Rick faces down the elite adventurers who scoff at him, prepared to teach them a lesson about respecting their elders—and they may just have to learn it the hard way.

It is common knowledge that it is best to become an adventurer while you are young. This is because the "magical power" that is the basis of an adventurer's strength can only be developed if the adventurer trains while young. But this newbie adventurer, Rick Gladiator, who only became an adventurer at the age of 30, had the fighting strength of an S-rank adventurer, the highest rank. People thought that the "Mere Old Man" would not make a good adventurer! But in fact, Rick has lived an unimaginable daily life with the members of the legendary "Orichalcone Fist," a party of the continent's most powerful adventurers. From dragons to vampires, Rick has been trained by literally "monster" level masters, and with his fighting skills, he is able to defeat the elite adventurers who underestimate him.

"Why should it matter how old you are if you want to start something new?" 

The strongest guy around, who also happens to be middle-aged, strives to be an adventurer! Everyone seems to think you should pursue your dreams while you're still young, but there's one man who just can't give up. In a world where most people who become adventurers do so in their teens, a guild employee in his thirties, Rick Gladiator, seeks to become an adventurer instead. After receiving unimaginably brutal training from the legendary party renowned as the strongest on the continent, Orichalcum Fist, he ends up with combat abilities worthy of S-rank status despite starting out as an F-rank rookie!
