In a world where gods experiment with creation and discard their failures, one Tokyo high schooler's life is about to get cosmically complicated. Reo Kisaragi, an ordinary teenager with a passion for urban legends and a desperate need for TikTok likes, accidentally performs a summoning ritual that was never supposed to work. To his shock, he finds himself bonded to Kuro—a sarcastic, overpowered "failed divine experiment" with a casual attitude toward reality-bending chaos. What starts as a comedy of errors quickly escalates when their bond creates "reality cracks" that begin affecting others. Haruto, the school's feared delinquent, suddenly develops destructive voice-based powers. Yui, an eccentric occult enthusiast, discovers her shadow has a mind (and agenda) of its own. And all of them find themselves targets of the Divine Order—celestial enforcers tasked with "purifying" anything the gods consider imperfect. As Reo and his newfound allies struggle to master their chaotic abilities, they discover they're caught in the middle of a cosmic conflict. The Forsaken—other failed divine experiments cast aside by their creators—offer protection and training, while revealing the gods' darker secrets. What began as an accident becomes a battle for survival against increasingly powerful divine enforcers, from robotic Exorcists to the deadly Seraphs who serve the King of Gods himself. With the help of rebel deities, cosmic outcasts, and their own growing powers, Reo and his friends evolve from hapless teenagers into something the divine never anticipated: proof that their "failures" might be their greatest success. But as the Divine War escalates from school hallways to city streets to cosmic battlefields, they face an unsettling question: in a world ruled by gods who demand perfection, is there room for those who are perfectly imperfect? Part comedy, part action epic, and part exploration of what it means to be deemed a "failure," this story follows Reo's journey from accidental summoner to potential world-saver, all while trying to survive high school, manage newfound powers, and deal with a cosmic entity who thinks everything is an opportunity for a training montage.
