Transported into another world, professional shut-in, Ren Nakamura, expects a path of ludicrous powers, fame, and glory; the classic tale of an otherworld hero saving a doomed world from the conquest of a tyrannical, almighty demon king. 

--What he receives instead, is a harsh reality check. 
Betrayed, beaten, and humiliated, he quickly learns the true nature of this world: it doesn’t cater to him in the slightest. 
Inept, gullible, and unsociable, he must cultivate himself into a proper person, if he hopes to survive in the ravenous world of Gaia.

In a twisted, yet fantastical world of magic, knights, and dragons that persecutes otherworlders, Ren must overcome his “level zero” start and cultivate himself into someone capable of fighting off the obstacles of Gaia. 
The otherworlder-hunting Argonauts, the world-loathing cultists, and even the very aspects of sin themselves; these are just the tip of the iceberg on the troubles that await him on his journey. 

But it’s a harsh, cruel world filled with misery and darkness; he can’t do it alone. Friends are made, friends are lost--that is the nature of the path he must walk. 

This is not the story of a blessed, perfect hero, but of a flawed, young man who has to shed his weaknesses. 
Together, witness his journey into becoming not just a proper hero, but a proper human.

Garden of the Abyss

"--Who headbutts a girl?! Why're you not even hurt?!"

Aiko yelled out as she held her throbbing forehead, feeling her blood rush to the spot of impact, hoping a bump wouldn't form.

"Who randomly starts attacking their partner, huh?! Talk to me! What's wrong, Aiko?!"

He didn't know exactly why he was so riled up, but at least the flowing emotions had dulled the mutually assured pain that came with a raw collision of foreheads.

Ren didn't let up, swiping his hand to the side as he brought his face close to hers, not allowing her to avert her eyes.

The words came out meekly from her lips as her pupils trembled ever so slightly, trying her best to look away from him.

"I don't want to go back to them."

"I get it...I'm guessing it was a scary encounter, but I'm here now."

Two Heads Are Better Than One
