In a surprising twist, the protagonist Sho, a young man working for an exploitative corporation in present-day Japan, finds himself reborn in a place called Shaw! due to a mysterious incident. This plot device is a common trope in manga, but can he use his new life to become a successful gamer?
Sho’s new job title is ’Unemployed’ and he continues to face challenges with a streak of bad luck. However, he is suddenly presented with the opportunity to become a Sage, gaining powerful and rare passive skills. This allows him to overcome challenges without being emotionally affected. With the help of a machine, he must stop the impending end of the world.
Despite hoping for a more relaxed life after meeting the Hero Viola, Sho is instead thrust into a battle against the Overlord. This war pushes him to become even more powerful than he ever thought possible. Each day brings him closer to his final destination, and in order to reach the end goal, he must continuously overcome obstacles. With special abilities like time manipulation and summoning souls, he must defeat enemies in turn-based battles, manage mana, and use monster skills.
As Sho completes quests and rises in his guild’s ranks, he can join larger and riskier adventuring parties. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure may also include unique features like randomly generated treasure chests in arenas and dungeons. Through this game, Sho can finally achieve the quiet and simple life he has always desired.
