Answering calls to to vanquish Demon Lords, heroes summoned from another land to solve the crisis of the day, overarching cataclysms threatening to destroy the planet not your own? Such things are a footnote in history. The world that Jericho was born into has embraced what new Otherworlders understand as a game-like way of life for generations. Society flourishes under the careful watch of the System governing their World, yet it has been struggling to adapt to a technological leap forward blending the simplicity of magic with the complexity of industry. All it takes is one act of tragedy to turn everything upside down as forces conspire to alter the engine of reality, violating the System in the name of progress.
A new age dawning, Jericho and his companions can't take any chances. But, neither can they sit idle as evil seeks to snuff out their way of life.
Even if everyone has been completely reset to Level 1, with all the dangers their journey now entails.
For enjoyers of anime similar to the society building of Log Horizon and a dash of the grit of Overlord - all from the perspective of someone that is part of the World instead of brought to it!
