Passing a
role-playing video game on the most extreme difficulty is already a challenge,
but being reborn in another world with the worst stats of the group and a
goddess without a single follower is to take the gamer experience to the limit.

Hajimeru Isekai Kouryaku (Full Clearing Another World under a Goddess

Zero no Megami-sama to Hajimeru Isekai Kouryaku is a series of light fantasy and isekai novels
written by Isle Osaki. The story began its digital journey on the
Shosetsuka ni Naro portal in May 2018, and then made the leap to the printed

publication with its fourteenth volume on September 20. The franchise also has
a manga adaptation illustrated by Hakuto Shiroi that has been published on the

The plot
follows Makoto Takatsuki, an ordinary high school student whose only great
passion is role-playing video games. His life takes a drastic turn when his
entire classroom suffers a tragic bus accident and he is transported to a world
of magic dominated by powerful gods. While all of his companions are given
superhuman abilities and enviable attributes, Makoto ends up with pitiful
stats, beginner mage knowledge, and a life expectancy reduced to ten years.
However, her destiny changes when she meets Noah, a goddess trapped in a
dungeon that does not have a single believer. Becoming his first devotee, the
young man will use his veteran gamer mentality and weak abilities in
unconventional ways to become strong enough and rescue his divinity.
