Sparrow's grandma doesn't want him to spend life picking turnips, she wants him to be somebody - so she drags him to the best academy in the land and threatens the administrators until they let Sparrow in.

But with deranged maniacs running the academy - arrogant, poo throwing young masters, and princesses who kick his ass - Sparrow isn't so sure the academy life is for him. 

After being kicked out he becomes a hobo - wandering a world full of cultivators and demons - and picking up all the skills the road can teach him. 

Sure, Sparrow wouldn't mind becoming a god one day, but to start with, he just wants to make his grandma proud.
