After finding himself in a roguelite time loop where he’s forced to survive an otherworldly invasion of the Earth, Akira has started to grasp his mysterious game-like skills. But after four deaths, he’s still no match for his original archnemesis, the Minotaur. What’s more, it’s a race against time as the monsters all appear to be gradually leveling up! Can Akira defeat the Minotaur before its power becomes insurmountable? And can he do all this while keeping his childhood friend Nao alive?

Akira is your average office worker who dies in a not-so-average way. On his way home from work, he is killed...by a minotaur! He wakes up back in the office, but the world as he knew it has changed. Mythical beasts and monsters are running amok, destroying everything in their path. Akira discovers that every time he dies, he gets resurrected with the skills he acquired from his previous lives intact! Armed with unlimited lives and an ever-expanding skill set, he now stands in the way of the beasts and their rampaging wave of destruction.

Why survive the apocalypse alone when you can do it alongside your crush? Having watched Akira defeat the Minotaur on his own, Nao asks to team up with him to take on the next boss together. But with her now having gained access to Akira’s time-looping powers, she must endure the same traumatic experiences he’s been suffering through. Will the two be able to stick together to take down a boss so powerful that it’s even got the defense force quivering in their boots?

With Nao shaken by the experience of having been torn apart by monsters on a previous time loop, it’s up to Akira to prepare for the upcoming boss fight. But no matter how strong he gets on his own, the quest description still demands that the two of them brave the Werewolf’s lightning-fast claws together. Can Nao overcome her fears to defeat the next boss alongside her childhood friend?

Just as Akira and Nao are able to relax having defeated the Werewolf, yet another fearsome boss stands in the way. Joined by a mysterious foreigner and a young girl in search of her father, the four work together to brave a city that’s becoming less familiar by the second. However, no matter where Akira goes, a fearsome Dullahan is always waiting for him and his party. Will they be able to shake it off, or is yet another boss battle on their horizons?
