Premise
Ivy is a girl reborn in another world, where people hold multiple skills and are ranked with stars; however, she only has the no star Tamer skill. She is hated by her family for it, forcing Ivy to decide to live in the forest; however, the local fortune teller takes pity on Ivy, educating and supplying her. After the fortune teller passes years later, Ivy leaves the area and finds a weak, dying slime; she tames it, naming her new familiar Sora.
As the story progresses, it's revealed the current headman of Ivy's village is a shortsighted idiot; enforcing the bigotry that drove Ivy off and ignoring the advice of the fortune teller, leading to the village into decline. He brands any villagers who desert as criminals and tries desperately to maintain his power.
