## Plot

A Japanese teenager is killed by a thug and reincarnates in an alternate, fantasy-like world as Cain Von Silford, the third son of the noble Von Silford family thanks to the intervention of the seven gods residing there. Accepting the task from the gods of helping improve their world with the knowledge from his past life, Cain is appointed as their Apostle and receives powerful blessings from them, unaware that his true mission is to protect the world from a forgotten, evil deity who is about to awaken. After defeating the first form of the god, he goes on to live his life. However, he is given a lot of trouble from the Duke/Marquis Corgino (Duke in manga, Marquis in anime).

## Characters
### Cain von Silford (カイン・フォン・シルフォード, Kain fon Shirufōdo)

    Voiced by: Yoshino Nanjō (Japanese); Trina Nishimura (English)
    A Japanese teenager named Shiinya Kazuya who was killed by a thug and reincarnated in another world as the son of a lord in the Esfort Kingdom. Blessed with the power of all 7 gods, Cain quickly grows far stronger than any other human, using the power at his disposal to protect the innocents and punish evildoers, which soon brings the attention of the king, who arranges him to be engaged with his daughter, Telestia and her close friend Silk; this goes against Cain's wishes, as he loathes noble etiquette, but he soon warms up to them. His actions sometimes do more harm than good, leading him to be constantly lectured by others. Through the course of the series, Cain grows stronger while earning titles and achievements, with other girls also becoming engaged with him (five so far), as he prepares himself to fight an evil god who is about to awake after being sealed away centuries ago.
    According the gods, Cain's poor judgement got him killed for nothing; his killer would have been stopped before hurting anyone, but Cain needlessly shielded others, which earned him the gods' blessings.

| The man is Yuuya Hirasawa, aka Yuuya Terra Esfort, the first king and founder of Esfort. Yuuya reveals he created his own world, Fabneil, becoming its new God of Creation. Yuuya has agreed to train Cain and hints that Aaron has links to Cain's former life. He dumps Cain in the wilderness thousands of miles away but warns in this world monsters are much tougher. Plus, time moves differently so Cain has years of time while barely any time will pass in Esfort. Cain rescues a Fenrir puppy he names Haku and they survive four brutal years before making it back to Yuuya's home. Yuuya reveals Aaron was the 8th God of Amusement, but he became corrupt and set kingdoms against each other in death games to amuse himself. Yuuya also reveals when he was reincarnated from Japan so were two others, Seiya and Megumi, Cain's parents who died in a car crash. They became Yuuya's precious friends but were killed fighting Aaron, though Yuuya was successful in sealing him away. Cain is sent to train as a warrior with the elf Derain. After another year Cain defeats Derain and is returned to Esfort with Haku and Derain's pet dragon Gin. Yuuya gives him a sword and note for Rex. Cain tearfully reunites with Telestia and Silk after five years apart, only to be viciously lectured since from their perspective he was missing for almost a week. ||||||

| Rex is astounded at Cain's story, but accepts it is true after seeing Yuuya's katana, which he lets Cain keep. Eric reminds Cain he never finished the bandit capture quest needed to promote him to A rank, and having been missing for seven days, the time limit will soon expire. Cain captures the bandits, also rescuing Millie and Nina, who had been escorting Sabinos, Parma's father and Tamanis' brother. Millie and Nina are shocked Cain is now A rank, and a Baron. At the guild, Cain meets Claude, who reveals Millie is his sister. Realizing Cain is also an academy student, Claude, Lina, Millie, and Nina attend as guest lecturers to help Cain, but notice Cain doesn’t fit in with the other students at all. They try to help Cain stand out to become popular, but fail spectacularly. Frustrated at Claude's idiocy, Cain rampages through the monster filled forest, unintentionally frightening the kingdom into thinking a Demon Lord has appeared and earning his most serious lecture yet from both Rex and Garm. Back in the forest, Cain's rampage dislodges a crystal from its hiding place which is eaten by a dragon, which is then possessed by a fragment of the returning Aaron. ||||||

| Cain's class begin contracting with monsters. Cain's instructor Gratt naively lets Cain try and ends up summoning Seth, a Prince of Darkness and ruler of a nation of demons. Cain panics, until Seth sees Cain's magic level and happily grovels to become Cain's contracted servant. Rex is furious as Seth could have destroyed the kingdom. He demands to see Cain's full magic status, only to find his magic capacity is immeasurable, and Cain now possesses the title Demigod. Unsure of what else to do, Rex makes Cain a Viscount and gifts him a whole territory to manage. If Cain does so successfully, Rex will publicly announce his engagements to Telestia and Silk. Cain's older half-brother Djinn informs Cain monsters near the forest in their domain are becoming more savage, so he asks Cain to investigate the cause. Cain slays many monsters but cannot identify the source of the increased danger. Seth can only sense a being of unimaginable power drawing monsters to itself, and sends his demon butler and former Heavenly King Dalmatia, to investigate. Their intrusion prompts Aaron to send thousands of high level monsters to rampage against the kingdom. Realizing Aaron is responsible, Cain, Seth, and Dalmatia rush to confront him, leaving Cain's friends protecting the city. ||||||

| Cain's friends, along with Seth, summoning his Four Heavenly Kings, keep the monsters confined to the forest. Cain locates the Aaron-possessed dragon, who immediately knows he is the Gods' champion, and a reincarnation like his parents. Despite only being a small fragment of Aaron, Aaron keeps Cain on the defensive and almost kills Haku and Gin. Cain activates his Overload ability and obliterates Aaron's current host, as well as the forest and mountain behind him. Esfort is saved, but Rex is furious as the Overload's golden light has cause the citizens to believe the Gods have descended from Heaven. Rex is exhausted from yelling and decides to retire and let Cain become King. Magna calms Rex down, who decides to make Cain Viscount of Dorinthol instead. Telestia is furious as Dorinthol's adventurer guild is famously corrupt and it is now Cain's job to deal with them. Seth's wife Lefahne discovers him cheating so he begs Cain for protection. Cain sends him back with Lefahne for punishment but worries how he will survive having multiple wives. Arriving in Dorinthol, Cain defeats the entire adventurers guild, accidentally destroys the training arena, gets himself arrested, makes an enemy of the church by demanding they lower taxes, and builds himself a mansion even larger than Esfort's royal palace. Having really gone too far this time, Cain is loudly lectured by everybody all at once. ||||||
