Ren Satou regarded reality as a "Kusoge"—a trash game with terrible balance and pay to win mechanics. In a moment of hubris at an abandoned shrine, he demanded a server transfer. The God of Trials obliged, but with a cruel twist: No holy sword. No status window. Just a one-way ticket to a new world.

Stripped of his arm moments after arrival and left to rot in the unforgiving northern wilderness, Ren’s dream of being a protagonist is crushed by the brutal reality of survival. Driven by starvation and madness, he commits the ultimate taboo: consuming the heart of a dying Demon General.

Now a monstrosity trapped between humanity and demonkind, Ren has become a "glitch" that this world never accounted for. He hates the gods, he hates the demons and he hates his own weakness.

That is, until his path collides with the Hero Party.
