Gamer Kazuma dies in a freak accident, and is met in the afterlife by a crass goddess, Aqua.

It's great for Kazuma that he brought Aqua along with him, but unlike in a game world, much is missing from his adventurer's lifestyle. No money, no equipment, and even fighting the lowest ranking monsters is a hard-fought battle. That's when they decide to recruit new party members.

A low-grade goddess turned arch priest who works hard to acquire party trick skills, a disappointing arch wizard who can only unleash explosion magic once per day, and Kazuma himself, whose only redeeming quality is his good luck. Kazuma despairs over the completely useless party that's been formed.

All of the weak monsters have gone into hiding since a leader of the devil king's army has settled in near town. Kazuma, who had been focusing on improving his skills, is stuck at a standstill. With nothing else to do, Kazuma tags along with Megumin's training, which consists of unleashing explosion magic into an abandoned castle.

With debt looming over her, Aqua convinces Kazuma to accept a high difficulty quest to purify a lake, which doesn't require killing any monsters.

Dullahan, a top leader in the Devil King's army, yet again appears at the city in a frenzied rage.

Kazuma and Aqua can't properly accept rewards from quests due to their mediocre party lineup, and are so destitute that even keeping wood on the fire is difficult. Kazuma comes up with a plan and visits a magical accessories shop run by a woman called Wiz.

Kazuma runs into some adventurers he knows while out for a walk and decides to go with them to a shop run by succubi said to show its customers enticing dreams.

The rampaging ancient weapon: the mobile fortress, Destroyer, is headed straight for Kazuma and party's city!

Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin are back to continue their quest against the Devil King. Kazuma is back too, but the only adventures he has waiting for him exist within the criminal justice system.

A new discovery in a previously mapped out dungeon might be the first step toward Kazuma repaying his massive debt. Unfortunately for him, Aqua is determined to help.

Kazuma is surprised to discover that Vanir had an extra life and has since quit his position as a commander to work at Wiz's shop, striking up a business partnership to sell products from Kazuma's world.

Evading the angry mob, the gang discover that the source of the town's water is being poisoned by the man from earlier, who is revealed to be one of the Devil King's army leaders, Hans the Deadly Poison Slime.

Kazuma's incorrigible ego forces him and his unmotivated idiosyncratic party to accept quest after dangerous quest following his bragging in front of his first hardcore fan. This time, the adventurer's guild requests that they take out a giant golem guarding ancient ruins...

After defeating Sylvia at the Crimson Demon Village, Kazuma and his party look forward to receiving a reward that could mean freedom from the grind of having to fulfill quests. Kazuma himself, however, seems to be having nightmares and bouts of paranoia.

Kazuma and his friends return to Axel and receive 300 million eris as a reward for subjugating Sylvia, an executive of the Devil King's army. Kazuma and Aqua go to high-end restaurants, and Aqua enjoys her long-awaited life as a celebrity.

Kazuma and the gang fail to defeat the hydra in the lake near Axel. The gang hopes to rely on knights from the capital, but they've been delayed due to a bandit disturbance for which a bounty has been issued. Darkness, however, is obsessed with the hydra.
