Shota, a bullied and shut-in neet gamer, met an unexpected end while immersed in his virtual world. To his shock, he found himself in a dark room, facing a beautiful goddess. Unfortunately, his initial interaction with her angered the deity, costing him an opportunity to reincarnate as an overpowered main character. Instead, Shota was reborn as Hermit, a pathetic goblin hatchling in a harsh, medieval world of magic and sword. This unlikely hero embarks on a tormenting and often miserable adventure, striving to find his place in this far-from-ideal world to live a happy and peaceful life.
