27. KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World

Son of cult leaders who worship the omnipotent god Mitama, Yukito Urabe, takes part in a ritual to become the next cult leader under the belief that their god Mitama would save him.

However, he is sacrificed instead as he drowns during the ritual. Yukito’s dying wish is to be born into a world where there is no god or religion.

Yukito awakens into a completely different world. He is indeed reincarnated in a world devoid of religion and spirituality. He runs into a deviant named Aruaru, who takes him to her village.

However, before Yukito can even get remotely satisfied that his dying wish has come true, he witnesses a public group suicide. In this country, the end of a person’s life is decided by the government, which can order anyone to die at any point.

Aruaru and her sister are next in line for execution, as they are forcibly dragged away. Yukito tries to save them but is not successful. Desperate and with no other plausible way he can help, Yukito falls back to his father’s teachings and prays to Mitama.

His prayer is answered when a young girl descends from the sky and saves Aruaru and her sister by annihilating everyone who bought them harm. To Yukito’s absolute bafflement, the girl proclaims to be Mitama, the god herself.

A young teenager, Kazuya Shiinya, dies trying to save two girls from an armed assailant when he ends up getting stabbed to death instead. However, instead of dying, he is rewarded for his good deed as he is reincarnated into another world filled with swords and magic, with all his memories from his previous life intact.

Now Cain von Silford, the third son of an aristocrat, Kazuya, is blessed by the Gods. On his fifth birthday, a baptismal ceremony is held, and seven gods of the new world grant him protection.

The gods inform Cain of his reincarnation and bless him with divine gifts which allow him to cheat abilities in swordsmanship and magic.
