"Oh Lord Lunareio, you are the only one who can save our world." ... Rikuya Takatsuki never asked to be summoned to a fantasy world with his classmates. But there he was, thrust into the role of a hero, expected to save the day from Realm Eaters—dimensional monsters that were chewing through reality.

While his classmates received flashy powers and legendary classes, Rikuya was stuck with the FFF Auto Hero class—no skills, no perks, and certainly no respect. The kingdom gave him some pocket change and politely asked him to leave. Rikuya was ready to enjoy the easy life in this new world, but then—surprise! A cult of people kidnapped him, claiming he was their prophesied god. They gave him a mansion, unlimited snacks, and no responsibilities, so he decided to play along. But then his so-called useless class kicked in. It turned out that “Auto Hero” meant his body could hijack itself whenever danger arose, transforming him into an unstoppable killing machine. Efficient? Sure. Ethical? Not so much. Now, everyone thought he was a terrifying cult leader, taking down monsters, corrupt kings, and anyone foolish enough to stand in his way. While his classmates enjoyed their heroic lives, Rikuya lurked in the shadows, leading a cult, toppling kingdoms, and pretending to have some grand plan. The truth? He was just winging it. He thought... what’s the worst that could happen?
