Trapped on a dying Earth, humanity desperately exploited technology to access the parallel world of Hovestile, a realm of magic and monsters. ... more>>

Hundreds of talented individuals were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Nonetheless, the natives of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. The humans from Earth who accepted this task were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, individuals with the ability to improve their natural abilities through fragments of the world's System known as "stats." Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with an innate talent for magic.

Alphonse Kneller is one such outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead.

As he begins to abandon hope, Kirie and Asa—two young feline demihumans—rescue and heal him. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract, a strange tome of equivalent exchange created by an ancient alchemist.

Accepting the contract and a bond with the two sisters, the three new comrades journey into the world as an adventuring party. They are the first members of the guild known as GRIM.

But there are enemies threatened by everything that GRIM stands for who will take all measures to have them removed; and there are emboldened allies that would use GRIM as a symbol to fulfill their own goals.

All the while, a conspiracy unfolds that threatens two worlds -- a conspiracy that will push Alphonse and his companions through drastic changes, and they will have to question if the price is worth it.

This story is planned out as a massive project spanning multiple volumes.

Roman of House Trambelio, or Roman Trambelio for conventional reasons happens to be the object of disdain for many a people and rightfully so, born... more>> into a major magus family with a partially defunct leg and lacking one eye, Roman would no doubt be disdained by the mostly elitist and aristocratic Magi.
Maybe even thought of as a breeding mare. The fact that he was engaged already spoke volumes upon volumes regarding that.
But,
It wasn't as if all hope was lost. Yes he was slightly crippled and no type of healing worked but, had anyone sought to understand why it was so? If they did, did they ever succeed?
The truth of it was, they didn't.
Roman had died before and reincarnated, passed through the origin of all creation, the Root, retaining a self. Some part of his soul was sapped hence the dysfunctions but he'd gained much for it, a power that may shake the very world given time to truly manifest.
Question was, what would he do with it? <<less

NPC, mobs, capture targets, secondary characters... ... more>>

That is what we are to them.

Isekai Heroes, overpowered identityless children of god. The self-proclaimed protagonists of this world's history.

With their unlimited God-given charisma and luck, they enslave the mind and body of the blooming talents of the age, rendering them useless.

The complete lack of pride of the Isekai Heroes always makes them the playthings of the royalty and the church of the time. Although there may be some initial conflict with them, in the end they will forgive any inhuman actions of the organizations and befriend them to the point of fighting to the death for them.

Meanwhile, the side characters can only surrender in front of the divine plot of god and remain in the background of the canvas of destiny.

...

A spark.

A spark is all it takes to ignite that canvas.

And engulf the whole world in the flames of independence.

Do you think that you are a true otaku? The weeb that consumes one terrible rom-com light novel adaptaion after another?
