Forty-year-old Satoshi Osako is a farmer in the Japanese countryside-and a hardcore player of Swords & Sorceries, an online VRRPG. The day he finally manages to defeat the game's final boss, it curses him with its dying breath and kills him in real life! With a little help from a carefree goddess, Satoshi finds himself reincarnated into a mysterious new world as his in-game character, the incredibly powerful Great Sage known as Zelos Merlin. He accordingly decides to use his newfound powers to. . . continue living a quiet life on another farm! But first, he'll have to fight his way out of the vast, dangerous forest he woke up in-thanks a lot, goddess-and it won't be long before he's running into bandits, getting roped into teaching a young noble girl magic, and more. Will the almighty Great Sage be able to conquer the toughest quest of all: getting some peace and quiet?

After spending the last week supervising the local orphans on their first hunting trip, Zelos is nearly back in Santor. He's had to deal with another crazy carriage driver along the way, as well as a party of heroes, but now he can finally look forward to some peace and quiet.
Meanwhile, Ado's group is on a mission in beastfolk territory. Along the way, he meets an oddball reincarnator with a fanatical devotion to the beastfolk and butts heads with an invading hero.
Both Zelos and Ado's encounters with heroes give them an idea of what's really going on in the Holy Land of Metis. And the heroes, too, are forced to confront some hard truths that make them rethink their relationship with the powerful theocracy.
Back in Santor, Zelos's peace and quiet doesn't last long before he's once again whisked away-kidnapped this time, by some short, stout acquaintances with a penchant for building. But he just may discover a whole lot more than a few new construction methods. . .
