Armed with a “cursed sword” he bought online, a fake hero’s journey to subjugate the Demon King begins—. Souji Miyamoto, a university student, is transported to another world after attempting a test swing with an imitation sword he bought on impulse.

To make matters worse, every member of the hero’s party is incredibly eccentric and difficult to deal with…!? With his imitation-turned-cursed sword in hand, the journey of a fake hero starts now!
