Yukito is son of a cult leader dedicated to the god Mitama. The cult drowns Yukito hoping he will be reborn as their next leader. Yukito earnestly wishes to be reborn in a world without religion. He awakens in a new world in an isolated village and makes friends with sisters Alura and Siluril, and farmers Clen and Roy. After a few weeks they visit the Imperial city so Alura and Roy can obtain pornographic magazines. Yukito witnesses a public mass suicide and learns without religion there is no fear of death, so when the government decides citizens are no longer of use or social deviants they proudly commit suicide. Alura and the villagers are all deviants who refused suicide due to fearing death. Alura was declared deviant due to her lustful personality. Alura and Silural disappear and Yukito learns outcasts can be executed at any time. Silural has already been hanged and while attempting to rescue Alura both she and Yukito are killed. Dying again, Yukita prays to Mitama who manifest as a young girl, having been impatiently waiting for him to summon her as the next cult leader. Mitama murders the government soldiers and resurrects Yukito and Alura, excited to be the only God of a brand new world.
