Makoto Maruta is spending a lazy Sunday watching TV with his sister. He’s unemployed, but he’s been trying hard to find a job. As soon as she leaves the room, a magic summoning circle suddenly appears under him—and in the blink of an eye, he’s pulled into another world.
There, he meets Astate, the Goddess of Space and Time. She checks his stats and is surprised, but also mocks him for not having any “cheat skill” like she expected. When Makoto begs to go back home, she ignores him and throws him into a forest alone.
Lost and confused, he later meets a disguised Goddess of Prophecy, Liana. She gives him a special power after he passes her strange personality test, then points him toward the nearest town.
But when he arrives, something feels off—the town only has five people. As he investigates, he discovers the place is overrun by zombies. With nothing but a heavy log, he fights back and saves the remaining survivors, including two sisters and two infants who will later be named Raa and Rea. And so, his new life in the world of Manasthesia begins.
