The Four Heroes are a group of common men from modern Japan who were called to the Kingdom of Melromarc to become its saviors. Melromarc is a country devastated by the waves of calamity that have repeatedly ravaged the country and brought calamity to its citizens for centuries. The four heroes are each given a sword, spear, bow and shield to defeat these waves. Naofumi Iwatani, an otaku, suffers the curse of being the “hero of the shield”. Armed only with a miserable shield, Naofumi is mocked and ridiculed by his fellow heroes and the people of the kingdom for his weak offensive skills and lackluster personality.
When the heroes have resources and comrades to train with, Naofumi sets off with the only person willing to train by his side, Malty Melromarc. However, he is soon betrayed by her and falsely accused of taking advantage of her. Naofumi is then severely discriminated against and hated by the people of Melromarc for something he didn’t do. With a raging storm of pain and distrust in his heart, Naofumi begins his journey to strengthen himself and his reputation. Later, however, the difficulty of being alone arises and Naofumi buys a demi-human slave named Raphtalia who accompanies him on his travels. As the waves approach the kingdom, Naofumi and Raphtalia must fight for the kingdom’s survival and protect the people of Melromarc from their bleak future.
