High school student Makoto Misumi, while being an average boy in every aspect, his sisters are well-spirited and good-looking. Underneath this, his parents are from a fantasy world and have eloped to Earth for various reasons. Part due to a contract agreed upon by a goddess, Makoto is to be sent to the world of Elysion to serve as the Hero. Unfortunately, it is not the usual case that Makoto always imagined. The Goddess has a vain beauty preference and deems Makoto to be "ugly," revoking his hero title, forbidding him to interact with other humans, and getting thrown off the edge of the world. Makoto is thankfully saved by Tsukuyomi, and he is gifted with great power so he will live a free life. In contrast to the Goddess' ideals, Makoto meets various demi-humans and mythical beings who become captivated by him and join in on building a new civilization where all of them can peacefully coexist. Another problem is Makoto's aura becomes too powerful and unstable for his yearning desire to enter human society. His new companions are willing to help him in any way to reform common sense along the way.
Protagonists
- Makoto Misumi (深澄真, Misumi Makoto)
- Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae[3] (Japanese); Dallas Reid[4] (English)
- Makoto Misumi is the main protagonist of this series. He is into archery and one of three Earth dwellers who was summoned to the Goddess' World. Originally meant to be the only person to be sent to the other world as per the contract between his parents and the Goddess, due to her own preferences in beauty standards, she abandons and throws Makoto to the edge of her world into the Wasteland, while secretly kidnapping two other people from Earth and sending them to her world as Heroes. Tsukuyomi, the Moon God of Earth who worked as the middleman for the completion of the contract, helped Makoto provide him with his blessing and told him to be free and live as he wished. At the start, Makoto is thought to be stuck at level 1, but it is later revealed that the level and Adventurer systems were based on the ideas of someone from Earth who was transferred in the past. The level limit of the system was set intentionally to the 16-bit integer limit of 65,536 and Makoto is basically causing an integer overflow error. In the Goddess' World, he is also known by the alias "Raidou Kuzunoha" (in WN/LN) or "Makoto Kuzunoha" (in Manga/Anime), a powerful merchant and skilled teacher.

The second test is to gather four dangerous items, but he takes advantage of a rule saying he can substitute items of equal value and substitute the Ruby Ants. Makoto returns to the demiplane where he plans to set up a hidden portal to trick traveling merchants into thinking the demiplane is a hidden city, trade for demiplane items, and then return home, creating a demand for demiplane products. Locating Tomoe with Mio, Makoto realizes Mio has become addicted to his memories of anime and children's cartoons. Tomoe and Mio are confused when Makoto chooses to sleep alone rather than pick one of them to have sex and decide they must come up with a seduction plan. Hazal agrees to Makoto's request to help brew the Ambrosia. An adventurer watches Makoto and decides to gather as many adventurers as he can to stop whatever Patrick is doing with Makoto. | |||||||
