Makoto Takatsuki is a normal high school student and a hardcore RPG player. However, “normal” goes out the window when his whole class is involved in a bus crash and whisked away to another world! Powerful gods rule this strange new land of magic and monsters, and every newcomer is blessed with strong stats and unique skills. Well, not quite. Makoto’s stats turn out to be pathetic, and his skills are super weak compared to his classmates’...he’s even stuck as an apprentice mage. Worse still, he’s given only ten years to live! Luckily, Makoto soon meets a minor goddess named Noah, who appears in Makoto’s dreams and asks him to become her first believer. With the help of Noah's blessings and a divine weapon, Makoto seeks to become strong enough to rescue his goddess from the dungeon where she’s been trapped. By training hard and using his weak skills in unorthodox ways, Makoto proves that, even when playing on hardcore difficulty, an RPG player always makes it to the end!

"After being summoned to another world with his classmates, Makoto Takatsuki starts a new game and a life of adventure. But as an apprentice mage with weak skills, he's playing on hard mode! At the start of his journey, he becomes the sole believer of Noah, a cute goddess who's actually a wicked deity. She’s trapped in an ultra-difficult dungeon, and Makoto has vowed to clear it and rescue her. But first, he has to become stronger. In between bouts of intense training, he befriends the elven fire mage, Lucy. Her magic is overpowered, but she’s unfortunately a bit butterfingered when aiming. Together, they tackle all sorts of quests―including one that brings them face-to-face with a fearsome griffin! During this harrowing fight, Noah commands Makoto to escape and leave his new party member behind, but... ""Goddess, I won't abandon my partner.""

Aya recounts her harrowing rebirth and the tragedy that befell her lamia family at the hands of the harpies. She’s sworn vengeance upon the whole harpy flock, including their loathsome calamity class queen.

However, they stumble across another classmate in desperate need of aid—Ryousuke Sakurai, the Hero of Light, who’s facing off against a pair of blight dragons! By channeling the powerful mana of the water elementals, Makoto is able to flush out the dragons, clearing the way for the Hero of Light to shine.
