Plot
Fifteen-year-old Touya Mochizuki is accidentally killed by God. As an apology, God allows him to be resurrected, but since he cannot send him back to his old world, he instead reincarnates him into a fantasy world along with any special requests. Touya requested to bring his smartphone into the new world with him, which God accommodates. Even though Touya cannot contact his old world with it, the phone can be easily recharged by magic and can otherwise function such as accessing data from Earth and can use relevant features for his new world such as the GPS function to locations which are comprehensively identified, internet access of world wide web of Earth, and camera features.
God also greatly amplifies Touya's physical, magical, and cognitive abilities to a certain degree as a further apology for the inconvenience of killing him, making him almost impossible to defeat. Taking full advantage of his second chance at life, Touya befriends many different people, mainly women and high-ranking people in his new world, eventually having nine fiancées. He begins to travel from country to country, solving political disputes, minor quests, and nonchalantly enjoying himself with his newfound allies. During his travels, he faces many monsters, villainous people, and powerful crystal creatures called the Phrase.
Characters and Locations
Dukedom of Brunhild
A sovereign city located between the Kingdom of Belfast and Regulus Empire, governed by Touya Mochizuki. The city’s development is being managed by Kousaka Masanobu of the Elite Four, who is also the counselor of the city. The land was given to Touya by the Emperor of Regulus and the King of Belfast, which also serves as their form of an alliance. The city's castle was built from the remains of an abandoned castle. Many people from other countries (some are those that Touya met in the past) began moving into the city following its creation. The city also hosts the World Alliance's monthly congress and sporting events.
A fifteen-year-old from Earth and the series' main protagonist, reborn by God into another world as a way of apology for the latter's mistake of killing him. His smartphone is his only remaining connection to Earth; while he can no longer call anyone from his old life, he can still access the Internet, and the battery can be recharged with magical energy. He is bestowed with all seven attributes of magic: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, and Null, making him so powerful that it is nearly impossible for his enemies to take him down. He can easily defeat minor foes such as thugs, soldiers, and thieves, but stronger foes such as corruptive royals, monsters, and those who use magic or powerful weaponry require for him to use strategy and magic to defeat. He regularly gets mistaken to be from Eashen (a country resembling Feudal Japan), sharing the same family name first system. He begins as a simple adventurer in the Kingdom of Belfast, though due to his granted skills and humble nature, he quickly rises in fame through impulsive acts. After discovering the first Babylon "Aerial Garden" and having a mock conversation with Professor Regina Babylon, he sets out to find the rest of the Babylons in order to defeat the Phrase. According to Babylon's vision, Touya would have nine wives in total. He gradually forms pacts with all four of the Heavenly Beasts, with the first and most loyal being Kohaku, the White Monarch. He also eventually becomes a duke and a king of the Brunhild Dukedom after helping to smooth out relations between the Regulus Empire and the Belfast Kingdom. He is also the first silver-rank adventurer to appear in 18 years, and later, upon achieving gold rank, becomes one of only two living "heroes" in the world. Later on, he is a demi-god on his way to becoming a full god due to his body being rebuilt in the divine realm by the God of Worlds.
The elder sister of the Silhoueska twins, a pair of wandering adventurers, and with her natural impulsiveness as a fighter by profession. She has long hair and feels less feminine than Linze. Touya meets her and Linze early in his journey, rescuing them from rogues in an alleyway, and thereafter, they register as adventurers in his party with the local guild. Elze fights with a pair of enchanted gauntlets and can only use the Null magic 'Boost', which increases her physical abilities. During her travels, she forms affection for Touya but tries to hold them back for the sake of her sister, who also falls for him. In the end, she and Yae fight Touya in a mock battle and win, requesting to become one of his fiancées as their prize. She is Touya's third fiancée.
The younger sister of the Silhoueska twins. With her intelligence and natural talent, she is the magic specialist of the two sisters. She has short hair and can use three magic attributes: Fire, Water, and Light. Touya meets her and Elze early in his journey, rescuing them from rogues in an alleyway, and thereafter, they register as adventurers in his party with the local guild. Linze is the gentlest of the girls in the group, often appearing shy and easily flustered, though on the rare occasion that she is angered, Touya believes her to be the scariest of his companions. She develops feelings for Touya, but at first, cannot admit to them. Later, when Francesca registered Touya as her new master via a kiss, Linze bravely confesses her love and kisses Touya in front of the other girls. Shortly thereafter, she becomes Touya's second fiancée.
Born in the far eastern country of Eashen to a samurai family, Yae left her home to travel and hone her skills elsewhere. Touya's group crosses paths with her during their travels, helping to fend off a group of ruffians attacking her. Thereafter, she decides to accompany Touya on his travels. However, Yae is practically a human garbage disposal; regularly putting a strain on the group's funds to compensate for her high metabolism. Eventually, she returns to Eashen alongside the group to save her father, brother, and hometown from a provincial war within the country. Throughout these events, she falls in love with Touya.

She also introduces Touya to her father, and also talk about how her mother has been cursed with blindness, wishing her late grandfather, who was a user of Light magic, was still alive for a cure. Since Sue possesses the same attribute as her grandfather and Linze, she was never able to master them to undo the illness in her mother's eyes without the null magic of recovery that she did not possesses and a teacher's guidance. By sharp coincidence, Touya cures Sue's mother's eye illness, earning great honor in the Kingdom of Belfast. She gets magic training from Leen and is also good friends with Renne. Due to her innocent naivety, Sue causes embarrassing moments. Later, to protect Sue from a political betrothal to a foreign fake prince suspected of pedophilia, she becomes Touya's sixth fiancée.

Yumina possesses the Null magic "Mystic Eyes" of intuition, an ability that comes from her heterochromic eyes, which gave her the ability to see a person's true nature. Due to this power, upon seeing the selfless and kind aura surrounding Touya after he saves her father, she asks to be engaged to him, believing that she will never find a better candidate to be her husband; however, she needed to win his heart first before he turns 18, which is when he'll be allowed to marry. She is also proficient with bows and arrows, often choosing to fight alongside a pack of hunting wolves summoned with her darkness attribute, even taking down magical beasts with earth and wind magic. Later, when Touya becomes a duke and a king of the Brunhild Dukedom, Yumina forms the Bride Conference, a group made up of Touya's fiancées who meet, discuss and judge any additional women who fall for him to determine if they should become official fiancée since polygamy is standard in her world.

Because she had not used her wings for a long period of time, she is unable to fly. She meets Touya during a diplomatic trip from Belfast when Paula brings him to her personal chambers. Intrigued by his abilities, she asks him to become her disciple; when Touya declines, she becomes Mismede's ambassador to Belfast and Brunhild Dukedom as an excuse to spend more time around him. She is the one to start Touya on the quest for finding the ancient pieces of the lost civilization of Babylon, as she wants to gain knowledge from the Library of Babylon.
