The protagonist, Shuto Mitsuki (also known as Shoot), is a student at a prestigious private middle school in Tokyo, suffering from severe bullying. He's tormented by delinquent classmates, and even those who try to help him end up becoming targets as well. A popular girl in his class falsely accuses him of confessing his love to her and stalking her, publicly humiliating him. His classmates and teacher turn a blind eye, prioritizing self-preservation over helping him.
Longing for revenge, Shoot one day witnesses a mysterious black vortex emanating from his basement. Gathering his courage, he enters it – and finds himself transported to another world!
After defeating numerous terrifying monsters in this other world, he returns home. While stopping at a convenience store, he's confronted by a gang of delinquents. However, it's the delinquents who end up on the ground, defeated!
“I… I’m still strong here…?
Then… revenge is mine…!!”
Shoot vows revenge on the bullies who assaulted him, spread lies, and framed him; on the most popular girl; on the classmates and teachers who conspired to cover it all up; and on the school itself. He's determined to live a cheat-like, overpowered life in the real world.
