Synopsis
A gravekeeper responsible for reincarnation tossed a single orb and a boy who had just been struck by lightning recieved it. The soul is a modern researcher named Kanji Yakutani who died from an acute heart attack in his sleep. Kanji wakes up in the body of Farma de Médicis and is tended to by Charlotte Soller. The new Farma is shocked by what happened and takes off the bandages to reveal marks on his arms. Charlotte calls it the mark of the Panactheos, the medicine god. Farma shares his snacks with her before learning that he can use Divine Arts. He ends up creating water by accident and soaks the garden along with Charlotte.

Farma practises a bit more and it able to make sulfide. It stains the silverware but Farma is able to remove the silver sulfide. He tests it a few more times before Charlotte arrives to make Farma's bed. She tells him about the De Médicis family. He also learns about Catherine Soller and how Charlotte had been serving Farma for four years. Farma is relieved that the servants are treated well as he's given a tour of the mansion. Charlotte begins worrying when the thought comes that Farma would forget his years of study. Farma remembers what is written but notes that the medical texts date back to medival times. He decides to do something for the people here.

Farma hurries to the dining room where his parents and sister are eating. Bruno de Médicis, Béatrice de Médicis and Blanche de Médicis are happy that Farma is well again. Farma feels slighly guilty about the old Farma dying. After dinner, Farma agrees to go with Bruno for the empress' house call. It was clear the situation was tense if both Bruno and Farma were called. After confirming his knowledge had come back with a special quiz, Bruno said that Farma could resume his lessons with Eléonore Bonnefoi, Bruno's top disciple.

Farma meets up with Eléonore the next day in the gazebo and she was very suspicious of him. She drops her suspicion when Farma mentions he was struck by lightning. The lesson was on the divine arts and how nobles could only use so much divine power. Farma asks about the Null attribute of magic but Eléonore mentions that no one has seen a null user in over 300 years. Therefore nobles had to have thier wands on them at all times. Divine arts also helped with pharmecology with three ranks of note: Royal, 1st/2nd class and 3rd class.

Eléonore demonstrated a spear of water and Farma borrowed hers since he forgot his. Farma launched his spear of water but it was ginormous and knocked Eléonore off her feet. Farma quickly dropped the wand to stop the spear. Eléonore is shocked and tries to measure Farma's divine power only for the meter she used to break. Eléonore gets scared and notices the divine mark on Farma's arm. Farma was now a major and minor null attribute user. Eléonore tried to calm down by joking that Farma could challenge the throne if he wanted but Farma was clear that he had no ambition to take the throne.

As Farma walks Eléonore back to the house, Eléonore guesses that the Panactheos possessed Farma. It was clear she was scared of him. He tries to help her see but then notices a white glow coming from Eléonore's finger. She mentioned she jammed her finger and Farma called it a sprain. The glow changed colors and Farma mentions this to Eléonore. This confirms Eléonore's theory but she screams when she finds that Farma doesn't have a shadow. Eléonore runs off while promising to keep Farma's secret.

That night Farma returns to the manor and notices Charlotte's chapped hands. He created a lotion for her and Charlotte was happy. She offers to share it with her mother, Catherine Soller. By the next day, everyone in the mansion wants to buy Farma's lotion. Charlotte mentions how commoners don't have access to such medicine because they're too costly. Farma decided to try and be accepted so that if his lack of shadow was found out, he wouldn't be turned in.

Farma soon learns that Eléonore had a fever and wanted to quit being Farma's tutor. Bruno found it ludicrous so he asked Farma to deliver a potion to Eléonore. Farma goes to the mansion and is insisted to meet up with Eléonore. He gives her the bottle which he adjusted to reduce the symptoms of a cold. He also gives her a compress for her sprained finger and her frames back. He also talked about how he wanted her to be his tutor again before leaving.

The next day Eléonore had returned to train Farma. She was in armor though for protection and they went to a deserted island. She admits she knew Farma put something in the potion to make it more effective and wanted to learn what it was. As they train together, Farma continues to heal people in the house including his mother, his sister and the servants. Charlotte ends up talking with Farma about how noble pharmecutists deal with nobles only. Farma think's it's absurd for someone to be denied treatment for thier social status. Farma also learns of a zoom function for his right hand and makes a microscope.

Eventually Farma is called to join his father for the empress' treatment. Farma notices his father's dry cough but isn't able to check it out. He rides to the empress's mansion with the old Farma's skills and begins to assist his father. He overhears that 'doom is upon her' and Farma is able to figure out that they weren't treating her but sedating her. Farma can no longer stand by and determines that the empress has tuberculosis or the 'White Death.' The prince of the kingdom, Louis, comes in crying for his mother and Farma determines a cure using Rifampicin.

Farma steps forward saying there is a special medicine. Bruno tries to pull Farma back but the empress, Élisabeth, stops him. Farma goes into the compounding lab only for Bruno to burst in berading a cure for the white death. Farma was surprised that Bruno knew it was the white death and gains a deeper respect for him. Farma says that not only that the medicine exists, but Bruno needs to take it too. Farma begins making the compound and writes down a diagram to help. Bruno asks what Farma is trying to make. Bruno attacks with Sword Dance of Ice but Farma blocks it with his eliminating right hand. He then creates a wall of ice while saying that he plans to explain what the medicine is to her madjesty. Bruno is baffled as he didn't know his son anymore.

He flips through Farma's book while thinking his son was a changeling. Farma claims it was knowledge that came when the lightning struck him. Bruno realizes that the Panactheos blessed his son and makes sure that his son stakes his life on the medicine. Farma returns to the empress' side and shows her the spewdem through his new microscope. After the entire court got a look at it, Farma explained how to treat the white death and how after six months the white death would be gone. Farma drinks a spare cup of medicine to show it's not poison. They return home after treating the entire court.

Over the next several months, Farma ends up sharing his notes with his father while treating the court. His microscope was also making the rounds including going to the university thanks to head court physician, Claude de Chauliac. He also got to know Noah who wanted to know what kind of reward Farma wanted and Farma eventually settled on opening a pharmacy for commoners.

Once the queen recovers, she gives Bruno and Farma rewards in a formal cerimony. Bruno is given the territory of Marseirre. Farma is promoted to be a royal pharmacist. Farma ended up touching the wand of the empress which was a divine power meter. Afterwards Farma gets a letter saying that he can challenge for the throne if he desires.

Not long after some builders and craftsman come by ready to start work on Farma's pharmacy. Farma eventuallys makes the plans and construction for the pharmacy proceeds smoothly and thanks to an off handed comment, it becomes the Parallel World Pharmacy. He also has an encounter with the leader of the local pharmecutist's guild, Veron. Farma ends up hiring Eléonore, Charlotte and even Cédric Luneau while also getting plenty of capital from his father. Farma helps get everyone's uniforms while mentioning that it's important for the staff to be healthly along with the customers. For the immediate goal, everyone was to increase thier life expectancy by 10 years. Farma then opens his pharmacy.
