Plot
While returning from school, 15-year-old Touya Mochizuki is accidentally struck by lightning and 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 a single special request. Touya uses his request in order to bring his smartphone into the new world with him, which God modifies so that the phone will function in the new world. God also amplifies Touya's physical, magical, and cognitive abilities to a certain degree as a further apology for the inconvenience of killing him. Taking full advantage of his second chance at life, Touya befriends many different people in the new world. He begins to travel from country to country, solving political disputes, minor quests, and nonchalantly enjoying himself with his newfound allies. This eventually leads to the discovery of the lost kingdom of Babylon, a shattered floating citadel that Touya is destined to find the various segments of to reform the ancient country. Touya also encounters the "Fraze", mysterious crystalline beasts invading the world through tears in time and space, which are somehow linked to the destruction of Babylon; he also learns that the pieces of Babylon itself hold the key to defeating the resurgent Fraze - a lost robotic weaponry system known as the Frame Gear.

Characters
- Touya Mochizuki (????, Mochizuki T?ya)
- Voiced by: Katsumi Fukuhara (Japanese); Josh Grelle (English)
- A fifteen-year-old from Earth, reborn by God into the other 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 upon 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. As a result, he can also cast any null magic, so long as he can learn its name and effects. He also has an inexhaustible supply of magic because God revived him. He regularly gets mistaken to be from Eashen where Yae is from because Eashen is similar to Japan, both countries sharing the same back-to-front naming 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 such as saving the king's life from poison, which gains him the king's daughter Yumina as an unexpected fiance. 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 Fraze. According to Babylon's vision, Touya would have nine wives 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 king of the Duchy of Brunhild after helping to smooth out relations between the Regulus Empire and Belfast Kingdom. He often uses knowledge from his previous life, as well as information available via his smartphone, to create products and earn lots of money. 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.
