After a humiliating and tragic death on his return from buying a video game, high‑schooler Kazuma Satou—a self‑confined NEET—finds himself before a stunning yet irritating goddess named Aqua. She offers him two paths: ascend to heaven or be reborn in the dream world of gamers—a true fantasy realm. Choosing a fresh start, Kazuma is immediately tasked with vanquishing the Demon King who plagues nearby villages. Before setting out, he may pick a single item to aid his journey, and the future hero selects Aqua. Yet Kazuma has committed a serious blunder—Aqua proves utterly ineffectual! Their woes do not end there; living in this world differs sharply from the game"s script. Rather than embarking on a grand quest, the pair must first earn money to cover basic living costs. Their misadventures are only just beginning. Even simple chores like cooking become daunting, and they soon face mischievous goblins and a shady merchant offering questionable deals. Their journey continues unpredictably.
