His life changes forever the day a goddess appears, revealing a truth beyond understanding: he is the destined hero chosen to confront the Demon King, a malevolent entity whose threat looms over another world. To save this mysterious universe, Theos must leave the comfort of his daily life and plunge into the unknown, leaving behind everything he knows.

Theos finds himself deprived of some of his strength, in a strange and hostile environment, where reality follows none of the orderly rules of a game.
