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.

"They really got friendly with each other, huh?"

"Well, they have a lot in common. And in a place like this, that sort of thing...Well, it's important, right?"

Iris' assuring words to Ren hit a spot that he didn't know if she intended to poke, giving her a half-smile before nodding his head.

Popping into their conversation suddenly, Hongse's fluffy face appeared between both of theirs--making both of them jump back.

It didn't take more than a moment for Ren's cheeks to shift into a burning pink, darting his eyes between Hongse and Iris rapidly. The azure-haired girl was subject to the same fluster, though her entire complexion was dyed to a tomato-red.

"...Y-yeah, what're you talking about?"

Iris stammered out, both of the Outlanders were looking at the panda-man intently, who seemed to enjoy what he had stirred up.
