In a world devastated by otherworldly invaders, Earth's survivors cling to the memories of a time before the great war. A time before legions of monsters poured forth from portals, toppling the bastions of civilization.

A time before salvation was delivered in the form of young girls swarming with magic, light, and hope.

To those that would survive, the Terrans — denizens of a parallel world that had come to Earth's aid represented both hope and resentment alike. A north star of prosperity, and a bitter inequity.
 
For Ikazuchi and his family, dealing with surging crime, horrifying monsters, roving gangs, and grueling hyperinflation is simply another day in the week. In these dismal living conditions, Ikki would do anything to see a better life for his loved ones.

Fortunately for Ikki, he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start over on Terra, a parallel world unmarred by the ravages of the Aberrations.

Unfortunately for Ikki — before his departure, a chance encounter with a roving gang of slavers nearly spells his end. In a frantic fight for survival, he stumbles upon him a piece of enigmatic Terran technology.

A sentient magitech companion that strangely, finds him at the right place and the right time, warning him of an impending cataclysm...

A/N: This is a reboot of my other story — Origin: How I Became A Magical Girl's Hapless Sidekick In A Craptastic World. The story had some fantastic ideas on paper, but the structure and planning was fundamentally a mess. This reboot has had a lot of love and care put into it, and I hope it rectifies a lot of the mistakes and issues with the original.

Thank you for supporting me ♥.
