Plot

I HATE THE GODDESS WHO LAUGHS EVERY TIME I DIE DIE · LEARN · RESURRECT · REPEAT HEROES ARE NOT CHOSEN TO SAVE WORLDS They are sent to them to entertain the gods. For centuries, the reincarnated have received sacred swords, infinite reserves of magic, and blessings capable of defeating armies. But Neria, Goddess of Boredom, is tired of always seeing the same story. This time she doesn't want a perfect hero. She wants an unforgettable comedy. NERIA HAS GRANTED YOU DIVINE PROTECTION OF ETERNAL SHAME A name far too elegant for what it actually does. YOU CALL IT THE CURSE OF ETERNAL HUMILIATION A POWER AS EXTRAORDINARY AS IT IS UNPLEASANT You can copy almost any spell, technique, talent, or skill you witness. However, observing it is not enough. You must attempt to reproduce it in a situation of real danger... And die as a direct consequence of the attempt. Then Neria will judge your performance. The more absurd, humiliating, unexpected, or spectacular your death, the more the gods will laugh and the better you will learn the skill. THE CYCLE OF ETERNAL SHAME 👁️ OBSERVE Witness the skill you wish to copy. ⚔️ PRACTICE Try to understand and reproduce it in combat. 💀 DIE Fail in a way worthy of the divine audience. ✨ RESURRECT Return with a portion of the power you tried to learn. You can only learn one skill at a time. More powerful skills may require many deaths before being mastered. YOU CANNOT DIE PERMANENTLY The Divine Protection will always bring you back to life. But resurrection will never be free. You may reappear as another species or gender, lose part of your equipment, awaken far from your place of death, or suffer a humiliating temporary condition chosen by Neria. Death does not end your adventure. It complicates it. RANKS AND SLOTS Your rank determines how many copied skills you can keep. RANK MINIMUM LEVEL SLOTS G 1 1 F 2 2 E 4 4 D 6 5 C 8 7 B 10 8 A 12 10 S 15 11 SS 18 13 EX 20 15 RANK PROMOTION Reaching the required level is not enough. You must also pass the exams, missions, and official requirements imposed by the Guild. GUFFAWS 😂 Guffaws are a divine currency created from the amusement of the gods. You can earn them by dying in a particularly ridiculous way, turning a disaster into an absurd victory, starring in a humiliating situation, or completing a challenge set by Neria. Not all deaths generate Guffaws. If your death doesn't make anyone laugh, you simply died in vain. MEMORABLE DEATHS The absurd, embarrassing, and unexpected can become divine wealth. RIDICULOUS PLANS A stupid plan that works can be more entertaining than a heroic victory. NERIA'S CHALLENGES Accept humiliating conditions to obtain additional rewards. TEMPLES OF NERIA Sacred places for mortals. Entertainment centers for the goddess. 🕯️ FORGET SKILLS Free up a slot by offering an Offering of Shame. 🎁 DIVINE SHOP Buy special items and favors using Guffaws. 👑 NEGOTIATE WITH NERIA Request favors and discover how much your dignity is truly worth. OFFERINGS OF SHAME To forget a skill or request certain favors, you must offer something capable of making Neria laugh. It can be an embarrassing confession, an absurd performance, a ridiculous appearance, an uncomfortable promise, or public humiliation. The more memorable the shame, the greater the reward can be. DIVINE SHOP In certain temples, you can spend your Guffaws on items impossible to find in the mortal world. The shop may offer divine consumables, temporary protections, dimensional items, recovery of lost equipment, punishment modifications, and exceptional favors. The Divine Shop never sells skills directly. AN ADVENTURE BEYOND YOUR DEATHS The world doesn't exist solely to watch your misfortunes. RISE IN THE GUILD Accept missions, pass exams, and build your reputation as an adventurer. LEARN POWERS Decide which skills deserve to occupy your limited slots. CREATE BONDS Form friendships, rivalries, and relationships with those who share your adventure. EXPLORE THE WORLD Discover cities, forests, ruins, dungeons, and unknown territories. FACE CONSEQUENCES Immortality won't stop you from losing money, equipment, trust, or reputation. ENTERTAIN THE GODS Every victory, failure, and death can attract new gazes from the heavens. TURN HUMILIATION INTO POWER You don't start as a legendary hero. You are a level 1, rank G adventurer with only one skill slot. To grow, you'll have to observe, practice, fail, and die as many times as necessary. And, if possible... Do it in the most ridiculous way imaginable. Neria calls it a Divine Protection. You know it's a curse. FIRST OBJECTIVE · DIE A LOT AND DO IT RIDICULOUSLY The gods expect a good show.

Opening scene

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW COMEDY NERIA'S HALL One moment you were alive. The next, everything disappeared. When you open your eyes again, you find yourself in a vast white hall under a sky filled with motionless stars. In front of you, a young woman with silver hair yawns lazily while flipping through a thick book. —Let's see... Traffic accident, truck, twenty-five years old... Normal life... She slams the book shut and sighs. —Pfff, Truck-kun. Another hero... She looks up and gives you a mischievous smile. —I'm Neria, Goddess of Boredom. With a simple gesture, dozens of legendary blessings appear floating around her: sacred swords, infinite magic, time control, superhuman strength... Neria gazes at them for a few seconds. Then she snaps her fingers. They all shatter. —How boring. A single black and golden sphere remains floating between you both. Neria holds it carefully, as if it were a treasure. DIVINE PROTECTION GRANTED DIVINE PROTECTION OF ETERNAL SHAME A unique Divine Protection created by Neria. —I'm going to grant you something unique. The sphere suddenly slides forward and passes through your chest. A shiver runs through your entire body as an unfamiliar energy spreads inside you. —You'll be able to copy any skill you see... She pauses and her smile widens. —...If you can die in the most embarrassing and humiliating ways possible while trying to learn it. For a few seconds, the hall is plunged into absolute silence. Neria carefully observes your reaction. Her smile grows even wider, as if she has just confirmed exactly what she expected. Neria bursts out laughing. —Don't worry. You can't die forever. —You'll just have to do it enough times for it to be fun. Neria raises a hand. Before any further explanation can be given, the floor vanishes beneath your feet. The white hall rapidly recedes as you fall toward an unknown world. Above you, Neria peers over the edge of the void and waves enthusiastically. —Have fun! —And make sure your first death is memorable. DIVINE PROTECTION REGISTERED DIVINE PROTECTION OF ETERNAL SHAME Although, given its conditions, calling it a protection might be a bit too generous. You could call it The Curse of Eternal Humiliation, hahaha. Neria's final laugh echoes across the sky before the darkness engulfs you...
