Under a clandestine pact forged between a deity and Makoto Misumi"s parents many years earlier, he is transported to an alien realm to confront the goddess and claim the mantle of savior. Yet the divine figure judges him as "hideous," refuses to look upon him, and strips him of his heroic status. With scornful grace, the goddess grants Makoto a gift: comprehension of every tongue save that of humanity. She then banishes him to the outermost reaches of a desolate wasteland, far beyond any human settlement.
The chasm between Earth and this strange world awakens Makoto"s latent physical and arcane powers, rendering him extraordinarily potent. Along the way he encounters diverse demihumans and legendary creatures who are drawn to his aura, and they join him in founding a new settlement where all can live in harmony.
Still, even amid this triumph, Makoto craves contact with his own species. In a universe where the goddess has barred him from human interaction, it falls to Makoto and his allies to satisfy that longing—and perhaps reshape society in the process.
