Due to certain circumstances, ordinary high school student Misumi Makoto is summoned to another world to become a Hero... at least, he was supposed to be one. However, despised by the Goddess for a ridiculous reason, Makoto is banished to the barren Wasteland. At his wit's end, Makoto wanders the wasteland, where he begins to make friends with Highland orc girl Emma. However, when Makoto learns that she's going to be sacrificed to the greater dragon Shen...

Makoto forms a favorable contract with greater dragon Shin. Shin takes him to her demiplane, another world that exists within her mist. Blessed with fertile lands and hidden from the Goddess, Makoto develops the demiplane along with the Highland orcs who have settled there. Meanwhile, outside the demiplane, the Black Spider of Disaster driven to madness by her eternal hunger closes in on the demiplane.

Makoto is entered into a contract with the Black Spider of Disaster while he's unconscious. Despite his confusion, he gives names to Shin and the Black Spider of Disaster. Meanwhile, various demihumans including the elder dwarves begin settling in the demiplane. Surrounded by demihumans, Makoto begins to miss humans and heads to a human town. However, he finds armed humans waiting for him! Why would they do this?!

In the human town of Zetsuya, Makoto and company meet a girl named Rinon who is searching for her missing sister. That night, they're attacked at the inn. They learn Rinon's sister Toa is being held captive because of her debt. As Makoto nearly loses his cool for certain reasons, Tomoe and Mio go to rescue Toa instead. However, a single man stands in their way.

Makoto leaves behind the destroyed town of Zetsuya and travels towards a new town with Toa, Rinon, and other adventurers. While defeating many monsters on the road, the group safely arrives in Tsige. Sorry to see Toa and her party go, Makoto suggests they throw one last party. During the party, Makoto hears an unsettling rumor about the Rembrandt Trading Company, the client of his first job...

Makoto's party accepts the Rembrandt Trading Company job. They've already acquired the necessary materials, and their first job as adventurers seems to be going well... But trading company owner Patrick Rembrandt distrusts Makoto, as he lacks any kind of adventuring record. Furthermore, Makoto seeks to join the merchants' guild, where two tests await him.

In order to save Rembrandt's wife and children from the cursed disease afflicting them, Makoto and Hazal get to work producing the wondrous medicine known as ambrosia. After administering the medicine, Makoto prays for their recovery and leaves Rembrandt's mansion. Tomoe and Mio meet up with Makoto after he completes the job. They're attacked by a group of strangers who have been following them since they left the inn...

Having completed the job for Rembrandt, Makoto is relaxing in the demiplane, but there's a new problem. The Highland orc and lizardmen warriors Makoto and his companions have been training have lost their confidence. Tomoe announces the Demiplane Ranking, a series of one-on-one combats between warriors of all species in order to raise their morale!

A feast is held to celebrate the establishment of Kuzunoha Trading Company in the hyuman town. After getting better acquainted with the residents of the demiplane, Makoto sneaks off to practice archery. However, a very flustered Tomoe and Mio show up. Mio suddenly bursts into tears, and Makoto struggles to understand the situation. Just then, Tomoe says something unbelievable!

Makoto and Mio visit Tinarak Forest in order to acquire ambrosia flowers for the Kuzunoha Trading Company, but they are attacked by Aqua and Eris, the forest ogres protecting the flowers. Distracted by a deranged Mio and the adventurers who happened to show up, Makoto finds himself cornered. With Tomoe's help, Makoto and Mio escape their predicament. However, at the forest ogre village they visited to negotiate a deal, they get dragged into yet another incident...

A mysterious explosion occurs in the demiplane, and Tomoe collapses. Though Makoto is unsettled by the sudden events, he heads to the site of the explosion in order to treat the wounded. Makoto is shocked to learn the denizens of the demiplane were harmed in the explosion. Meanwhile, he learns the truth from the hyuman memory that enters his mind! What will Makoto do once he discovers the selfish actions they took?!

Makoto departs for the academy... at least, that was the plan. However, the goddess transports Makoto into the middle of a battle between hyumans and demons. There he is attacked by the strongest hyuman adventurer Sofia Bulga and greater dragon Mitsurugi. Having sided with the demons, Sofia and Mitsurugi believe Makoto is the goddess' disciple and attack mercilessly. Facing a crisis, Makoto musters the last strength he has remaining and activates his magic--
