Plot

edit

A war between five races for supremacy on Earth is won by humanity, led by the hero Sid. Suddenly, history gets overwritten so that Sid never existed, leading to humanity losing and becoming subjugated by the other races. All of this is witnessed by a boy named Kai, who is mysteriously unaffected by the alterations. In this new world, Kai finds that he never existed previously, so no one knows him. After meeting a mysterious girl named Rinne, Kai is inspired to become the hero himself and free humanity.

1"The Boy Forgotten By the World"
Transliteration: "Sekai Kara Wasurerareta Shōnen" (Japanese: 世界から忘れられた少年)		Project No.9Satoru SugizawaTatsuma MinamikawaJuly 13, 2024 (2024-07-13)
The hero Sid once led humanity to victory against the demons, celestials (which include angels, elves, dwarves, and fairies), spirits, and magical beasts (which include dragons). In the present, the soldier Kai and his comrades Ashuran and Saki regularly inspect a monolith that seals the demons away. Kai is the only one who takes this job seriously because he once fell into the demon realm as a child, though no one believed him. Kai goes on a date with fellow soldier Jeanne. As they talk, reality suddenly distorts and Kai finds himself in a ruined city and attacked by two demons. He kills one and is rescued from the other by Ashuran and Saki, who take him to an underground shelter. He is hurt and confused when neither they nor Jeanne recognize him. They have never heard of Sid and explain humanity was defeated in the war so they formed the last human resistance. Realizing the monolith is still there, Kai enters it and finds Sid's holy sword. He is transported to another area and finds a girl in chains with angelic and demonic wings, who begs him to free her.
2"Rinne"
(Japanese: リンネ)		Asahi YoshimuraSatoru SugizawaTsutomu MiyazawaJuly 20, 2024 (2024-07-20)
The girl introduces herself as Rinne before passing out. Kai uses the holy sword, Codeholder, to break the chains, but Rinne attacks him, accusing him of being a demon sent by Vanessa. After he defeats her, a seemingly mechanical woman attacks them, but Kai uses Codeholder to slice through dimensions and return them to the monolith. Rinne apologizes and explains Vanessa is the hero of the demons whom she feuded with as she is an outcast from all races. She remembers the original timeline with Sid. Kai takes Rinne back to the shelter after she conceals her wings, but she causes problems since she is unfamiliar with modern technology and keeps picking fights. That night, demons break into the shelter. The defenders' guns are useless, but Kai saves Ashuran and Saki and kills the demons with anti-magic bullets and techniques unknown to the people here with Rinne's assistance. Kai and Rinne are brought to a council who do not believe their tale of an alternate timeline, but Jeanne decides to trust Kai after he reveals knowledge of her nicknames for her father and grandfather and the fact she is a girl pretending to be a man. They make a plan where Jeanne's troops will distract the demons while Kai and Rinne assassinate Vanessa.
3"The Demon Hero"
Transliteration: "Akuma no eiyū" (Japanese: 悪魔の英雄)		Kōsuke ShimotoriSatoru SugizawaTsutomu MiyazawaJuly 27, 2024 (2024-07-27)
Ashuran and Saki are assigned to help Kai and Rinne. The troops storm the capital building to take on the demons and rescue human slaves. Besides Kai and Rinne, only Farin, who uses swords made from a dragon's fangs, and Jeanne, who uses an elf garment for protection and an angelic blade, can actually fight the demons. Rinne makes invisibility cloaks for her group, but they are spotted anyway due to infrared cameras. Rinnne takes on the guards, who sense she is a mongrel of several races, while Kai takes on Vanessa. Vanessa is a succubus, and when her charms are ineffective, questions him. He tells her of his original world and she has a strange reaction to hearing Sid's name and seeing Codeholder. She puts Kai on the ropes with several destructive spells. A wounded Rinne joins them, but Vanessa does not recognize her. Suddenly, the mechanical woman, whom Vanessa calls Last Rising, appears and attacks Vanessa, saying anyone who learns of Sid must be eliminated. Vanessa angrily blasts her and makes her retreat. A terrified Rinne says Vanessa is even more powerful than the one she knows.
4"And So, She Remembered That World"
Transliteration: "Soshite Sekai o Kioku Suru" (Japanese: そして世界を記憶する)		Project No.9Satoru SugizawaShinji ItadakiAugust 3, 2024 (2024-08-03)
Rinne tries to contain Vanessa with a force field and tells Kai to run, but Vanessa breaks it and blasts Kai, seemingly killing him. Enraged, Rinne displays the powers of all the races, allowing her to hurt Vannesa, but she mocks Rinne for not showing this power earlier out of fear of being called a monster. Rinne tries to kill her with a suicidal spell, but runs out of mana due to Vanessa draining it. Kai revives and resumes the battle. Ashuran and Saki turn off the lights, distracting Vanessa long enough for Kai to fatally wound her. As she slowly dies, Vanessa suddenly remembers Sid and says he trusted her to hide Codeholder in the monolith in order to counter the world being rewritten. Before she disintegrates, she acknowledges Kai as a worthy opponent and promises to come back and seduce him. With the other demons defeated, the humans retake the capital city. Jeanne plans to join the resistance groups fighting the other races. Kai and Rinne agree to join her.
5"To the East of the World"
Transliteration: "Sekai no Azuma e" (Japanese: 世界の東へ)		TBATBATBAAugust 10, 2024 (2024-08-10)
Vanessa's sister Hinemarill greets Kai and Rinne, thanking them for killing Vanessa and letting her take her place. She calls a truce between humans and demons and encourages them to fight the other races, warning them about the hero of the celestials, the angel Alfreya. The army moves from the Urza Federation to the Io Federation, which is occupied by the celestials. En route, they are attacked by a dragon until Kai and Rinne fend it off. As they camp, Kai is uncomfortable when Rinne and Jeanne share his bed. They reach the Io resistance, but their leader Dante is rude and egotistical, accusing Jeanne of stealing his glory. Dante gets increasingly angry when Jeanne rises in popularity due to being willing to fight alongside the men. His secretary Qubirey encourages him to lead an offensive from the front without informing Jeanne's forces. Rinne later voices suspicions that Qubirey is not human. Meanwhile, Alfreya has allied with Last Rising and shocks his allies by proclaiming all other races except angels are unneeded and will be eliminated.
6"Elven Forest"
Transliteration: "Erufu no mori" (Japanese: エルフの森)		TBATBATBAAugust 17, 2024 (2024-08-17)
Alfreya traps the High Elf Elder in crystal and the elf shrine maiden Reiren barely escapes. Dante and his forces are missing, so Kai's group searches for them. They enter the elf forest and learn Qubirey was an elf in disguise who captured and paralyzed Dante and his forces. Reiren tells them of how Alfreya betrayed them and asks for help, offering to go with them. Kai asks Reiren if she knows Sid, but she does not. Reiren teleports herself and the group to the angels' palace, where they find several angels burning alive. The angel Vicious explains they were punished not obeying Alfreya and that the High Elf Elder will be executed soon. Farin, Ashuran, and Saki hold her off. The angel Raphaelo attacks and Rinne holds him off. Kai, Jeanne, and Reiren reach the High Elf Elder, but Alfreya appears and rants that all other races are inferior to angels.
7"Heartless Angel"
Transliteration: "Kokoro nai Tenshi" (Japanese: 心無い天使)		TBATBATBAAugust 24, 2024 (2024-08-24)
Farin defeats Vicious by disabling her wings. After Rinne punches his helmet apart, Raphaelo surrenders and tells her to stop Alfreya as he has gone mad. As they fight Alfreya, he mocks Jeanne's weapons even when she cuts him and points out that they are draining her life force. Reiren had been in love with Alfreya and asks why he is doing this, and he says she is inferior. Alfreya is intrigued by Codeholder's ability to block his attacks, but mocks Vanessa when Kai points out he defeated her. Reiren tries to free the Elder from the crystal, but her sacred dagger shatters against it. Alfreya is many times more powerful than normal and he calls on Last Rising, who makes an explosion that sends Jeanne flying. Rinne catches her and is relieved when Jeanne doesn't mind seeing her wings. Kai asks Alfreya if he was the one who reset the world and if he knows Sid. He doesn't know what he is talking about, but he starts to remember Sid. Last Rising turns on and disintegrates Alfreya for learning about Sid, then resurrects and possesses him. The new Alfreya stabs Reiren, prompting an angry Kai to fight him.
